A follow-up to the nearby Bull & Bear, PH is taking their pour-it-yourself brew up a level by adding in-table liquor taps to the mix (plus an eight-tap, serve-yourself "walltender"), and keeps the booze flowing through the decor, which includes a pilsner glass chandelier, and an art installation made from green beer bottles -- get inebriated and break it, and you'll certainly have reached your Nader. Fortifying you for the drinkfest are starters like mini Kobe corn dogs w/ pineapple beer mustard, salted pretzels w/ beer cheese fondue, and mac & cheese studded with everything from house-smoked bacon, to lobster, to French black truffles, which in spite of being shaved probably aren't regular showerers. Mains include a slew of BBQ options, from pork & beef ribs to Texas smoked brisket (sided by the likes sweet potato tater tots and roasted poblano/cream corn bread), plus upscale comfort vittles like lobster pot pie w/ American sturgeon caviar, and seared ahi w/ a violet mustard ale broth & sweet potato hash, a dish so good people will yammer about it.
