Phoenix Bar

We stopped here after our Lake Effect Brewing Tour for the $ 6 tasting flights. We sampled 3 beers each. Our favorite hands down was the Mini Porter. With its notes of coffee and chocolate, it was just perfect.
The bar itself is kind of small, but it was not full on a Saturday in the early evening. In fact, as we entered, the last tour of the brewery was just finishing up their tasting flights and were heading out.
The bartender was very nice and definitely knowledgeable, especially about the Lake Effect beers. He was also helpful when we tried to figure out where to head to dinner nearby. His recommendations: Leadbelly or Las Tablas.
The tab ended up being about $ 30 and included 4 tasting flights (at $ 6 each) and 2 glasses of Mini Porter. So, the Mini Porter must have been $ 3 a glass? Very reasonable.
I’m not sure I’d make this a destination bar, but if you’re in the area, stop in. And if you’re iffy on doing the flight after the brewery tour — don’t be, Well worth it.

Cool little joint with lake effect beer on tap. I’ll take it. And at $ 3 for these and most beers, I could hang out here. Plus bring your own food.
