Holy Grale

Bar, Gastropub, Pub, Beer, American

Housed in a former church, this gastropub has 26 beers on tap. The theme is humorously holy with a choir loft seating area and Sunday events. They take pride in their beer by only serving just that – ‘no whiskey, no wine, no diet coke’; Holy Grale treats it as their religion. Show up early as seats fill up fast and no reservations are taken.
