The selections on tap and in bottles were great. I can't be thankful enough that in a landscape of boring bars serving pilsners, pale ales, and ipas, Dawson Street has an interesting and excellent selection of beers on tap!
The sweet potato fries are different from any I've had before, and I absolutely loved them.
I also had the vegan wings and they were really, really good. Though we sat at a table, we went up to the bar to order food (which is fine with me). I appreciated that the bartender was knowledgeable about the beers on tap.
My only complaint is that the music was really loud and it was difficult to have a conversation. It was a Wednesday night, and the open mic was really pretty bad. I hate to say this because I want everybody to get up and get a chance to perform, but maybe playing in a band with some good musicians who can cover your mistakes is a better place to start and sending someone up there with a guitar and their voice. Or -and I realize this is an awkward position to put everybody in- maybe having some auditions first to see if people should play in the first place? I've been to quite a few open mics and this was one of the worst. Sorry!
Otherwise, this would have been an easy five star review.
