I am a "local", and come here often. This place has gotten better and worse with time.

Great outdoor seating is welcome for dogs.
Good food (though expensive during the ever-growing tourist season).
Beer is both bad and expensive (even out of tourist season, where they REALLY jack-up the prices, and charge a cover fee).
I've returned several 6-packs of their beer, and each time have received similar response, such as "We've a new bottler." or, "We just started pasteurizing."

The one star is for three reasons:
A) even their lightest beer is too "thick", and stank of acetyl.
B) the tall bartender is a nervous-type, and can be an overly crabby jerk.
C) They don't offer Budweiser, or other drinkable beer (which I'd gladly pay "city price" for, as I like the outdoor patio, and meeting all the city folks, who are invariably friendly.
