What a cool bar! Located across the street from Clementine, Hamilton Tavern is a casual neighborhood bar with a great beer and wine list. If you want a ton of choices, this isn't the place for you. They keep it short and sweet with interesting drafts and the always popular Brewer's Art brews -- Resurrection and Ozzy. When I was there, it seemed like most people were nursing a Resurrection.

And the food? Mostly sandwiches and appetizers with a couple more substantial dinner specials that rotate nightly. Sampled the house chips and apple cake, but need to go back to try a sandwich. I would classify it as upsacle pub food. Prices are very reasonable overall.

Perhaps the best part about Hamilton Tavern is its personality. Custom wood table tops lined with unusual beer bottle caps. Lacquered pages from old books on the bathroom walls. An antique-looking beer refrigerator on wheels. I heard that the owners hail from Brewer's Art. That would explain the beer and the personality. Very cool indeed.
