I like beer. The trappist is a great place to go with a FEW friends, but not have a party. It's chill and has great beer, but don't expect to stay past 9 pm.
Great Belgian ales. This is a small, narrow pub with some barrel tables in the back. Great - and expensive - Belgian ales are available from the bar. Small cheese and salami plates are also offered. It is crowded and noisy and don' t even think ordering wine here...
Probably the closest you can get to swimming in beer without getting your feet wet..
In Short
Pouring is an art form at this European-style pub, which claims, "No big corporate beer." With more than 130 Belgian and specialty micro-brews on the menu, even regulars turn to the knowledgeable bartenders, who fill, skim, rinse and serve with grace--and always in the appropriate glass. Were it not for the Oakland hipsters packed into every corner, the Trappist monks themselves would likely feel at home here among the rows of artisan ales.
