Description

This Rice Village mainstay has been providing a haven for beer lovers since Ronald Reagan's second term. Boasting what the bar claims is "America's largest selection of import draughts," the Gingerman surely has a brew to suit you amongst the 68 on draft and additional 140-150 bottled suds. With a charming cozy interior of small wood tables, welcoming front patio or sizable back beer garden, the G-man suits either a calm post-work/Sunday-night beer or crowded weekend hang (and it does get crowded). Besides Anvil and The Stag's Head, this is one of the few local bars that serves cask-conditioned ales. The excellent jukebox is packed with a hefty selection of newer indie albums and local legends like Little Joe Washington, Thirteenth Floor Elevators and Archie Bell & The Drells.

Then there's the highly complex Young's Double Chocolate (Great Britain) and the Lindemans Framboise (Belgium), with more than a hint of raspberries. Bottled beers include... More »

What makes this so fun? What should people know before they go? Are there special arrangements, attire or equipment needed?

Pretend to be a college beer snob here. Keep the glass on Wednesday. Cute, intimate New Year's celebration. They have cask ale sometimes.
