It seems I have yet to write about a new (to me) beer bar right down the street from where I live. Julian’s has always been a hipster bar/hangout to me. Apparently, I was very wrong. The place is a restaurant with a bar. It’s not very big and because I’ve only gone late at night (10:30 on a couple of Thursdays), not crowded. The beer selection is awesome. Last night, their taps were Duchesse, Maredsous 8, Lindeman’s Framboise, Great Divide Denver Pale Ale, Old Speckled Hen, Siberian Night, 90 Minute IPA and 2 others I don’t remember. Their bottle selection is just as good, though they can tend to be a bit pricey. I got the Siberian Night. It was absolutely awesome on tap.
The food is just as good. The first time I went, I just got dessert. It was a white chocolate cheesecake, that paired perfectly with the Framboise. Last night, I had their Hindenburger, which was a burger with apples and some other fruit spread on it. It was good, though quite messy.
Anyway, this place is totally worth it. It’s near the corner of Broadway and Vinton St. in Providence. I might be going again tonight for a full meal and more awesome beer.
Update: I think I now have a new favorite restaurant in Providence. The menu here is very unique and creative. The beer is to die for. I figured out the rest of the taps… Sea Dog Blueberry and La Chouffe. Tonight they had the Smuttynose Imperial Stout on tap rather than Siberian Night. I got the Smutty and a Duchesse. Both are amazing on tap. I had their gnocchi for dinner. It was fabulous with some currant and red pepper. The sauce was amazing. One of the best gnocchi dishes I’ve had. Susan got the Thai peanut shrimp with purple sticky rice. That was also really good. Having an awesome restaurant and a great beer bar right down the street from me could prove to be dangerous to my belly.
