I am a huge beer guy and in my opinion Table & Tap has the best tap list downtown. I’ll get my hair cut at consolidated, then go have a beer. – Justin_Gailitis, Instagram

Nothing better than a visit to Buckham Alley for a one-of-a-kind Torch burger, tots and a Moscow Mule after a long day at work. They make the BEST mules around. Grab some popcorn while you’re waiting for your burger. Crowded? Share your table and get to know other Torch fanatics.
