Review of Red Bear

I'm not a beer guy, but I'd still come to Red Bear...

I'm not a beer guy, but I'd still come to Red Bear to hang out. Here's why it's a great spot:

1) Space: It's massive! It's in the same building as the REI (where the Beatles played their first U.S. concert). It's one large open room with a large wrap around bar in the center. There's bar seating and tables throughout the space. There are single uni-sex bathrooms in the back.

2) Beer: They sell their own craft beer on tap as well as local wine, mead, and cider (Farmhouse for $8). The prices aren't so bad either for an expensive city like D.C.

3) Food: For now, they have rotating food trucks come into their kitchen space and sell quality food. The day I went Roaming Rooster was selling fried chicken sandwiches for under $10.

4) Entertainment: They have over 100 games (Settlers, Secret Hitler, etc) and a stage for live mucis.

5) Kid friendly: They have high chairs and welcome little ones to enter.

If you want a great chill, fun brewery in NoMa, this is the best option!
