Laura, we won’t have a gluten free house beer, but we’ll certainly try to carry at least one of the options on the market.

How about a gluten free menu? The fish, vegies, even corn chips and salsa/queso fit that category…but what would be really great is if there was a gluten free Black Star beer to go with it. Any chance?

I work in the area and just joined for two reasons…I want a local cider and I want another restaurant choice! Local produce, and veggie choices are awesome suggestions. There is a lot of competition in the better sandwich department (Thunderbird, Little Deli, The Sandwich Joint) and some in the not-a-chain burger department (Phil’s, Billy’s, BurgerTex). Offering both choices would be good. Salad selection is limited in the area, as are fish and shrimp, and soup, so offering those would be good. Pizza is also not readily available until you get close to campus, so pizza by the slice that doesn’t require much waiting would go over well. I would love to see the pub as green as possible. No Styrofoam, only biodegradable disposables or real plates and flatware used.

Zax is good, but they don’t brew their own beer, and their food can be pricey. Even so, most of the pint glasses in my kitchen came from their pint night…

I agree…don’t forget the vegetarians! I am not one, but will choose veggies if available. I’ve often wondered why the restaurants don’t offer carrot & celery sticks along with the ever present chips & salsa! I love chips & salsa, but would also like to have my dose of veggies with it! As beer drinkers, we like to munch while drinking! Munching on something healthy makes me feel better!

I think Doug has hit the nail on the head. International street cart grub would be a really god idea. That way you’re not tied down to a regional “theme” to your menu.

A good recipe book is the BBQ Bible by Steven Raichlen. Lots of good street cart stuff that is really awesome.

Bring on the Nigerian Fiery Stick Meat!!!

Food should be simple easy and very favorful. you should go with a tapas type menu. more smaller dishes that accompany microbrews. when you drink your brews at home, what meals to do accompany them with? think outside the box and let the beer be the center piece and the food be the compliment. this is what real microbrew drinkers who like. and yes, i agree local, affordable, and veggies is a must on the menu. I hope there will be a “mead of the month” to showcase the non alcoholic artisians.

I’m looking for something local, but international in flavor as well. How about some great street food from around the world?

I’m thinking:
carnitas and other small corn tortilla-style tacos
samosas
pierogies
empanadas
crepes
lox and cream cheese

I second the idea of food purchased from local farms.
