Re: Bellwoods Brewery

While I try my best to not comment in this thread, I will say that Hafis does have stools now! Wasn't sure if it was allowed with the specific type of liquor license, but it seems to be okay. You are allowed a "taste" of any of the 4 rotating draft beers for free, but pours up to 12oz are ...
