The Institute
If you think you're on the wrong side of town, you are. Although
this area north of Chinatown is what some might
refer to as "sketchy," the beer at The Institute is beyond creative. Nestled on
the corner of 12th and Green, this hole-in-the-wall bar is quite
cozy. If you go on a Saturday night, you're likely to hear your favorite '80s
tunes been spun by a young DJ, which will supplement the amazing buzz you'll
have going after trying the bartender's concoction of beers. "Christmas Ale." What's
in it? I have no idea, but the bartender did mention he threw in a splash of
bourbon. If you honestly can’t make up your mind, get a beer flight. This alone
will make you forget about the homeless dude who's smashing his face against
the bar's door. Oh, and look for an upstairs to open up, complete with Nintendo
Wii's at every booth. I just hope they have a good alarm system.
