Considering SJT is a sans-grub pub, #3 is a great ranking. Congrats to them as well!

Ignorant question: Where is SJT located?

I was surprised to see Level on the list. I’m going to have to give them another try. Wasn’t real impressed the one time I was in there. Can’t argue with the rest of the list though.
Any Level fans out there who want to point me to what they like about it? Not being snarky, I’m genuinely interested.

@lizless Congrats! We especially love the Surly Temple and the Blueberry Lemonade! Great bartenders who actually take care of us. I cannot stress that enough.

@DavidF Level seems to be a much more enjoyable place when it’s not a friday or saturday night. maybe check them out on a thursday?
Happy O’Reillys could represent the north side!

Congrats to everyone at Surly Girl! Great place, and we’re loving the new menu items.
Re Level: has some interesting specialty drinks. I thought the burger was good. We’ve only been a couple of times on weekends, when the place wasn’t too crowded.
