About

This Columbia Street brewpub pairs house-brewed beers, including Red Trolley on tap, with elevated pub food and a patio out front. Vegan choices appear limited: a reviewer mentions a Beyond Burger and hummus, while a 2022 review warns that some menu-listed vegan modifications weren't actually available.
