There are a lot of positive things to say about Kelvin Arms. The liquor selection is fantastic, and the bartenders know their stuff, especially Amanda the manager. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and the crowd is very diverse - all kinds of people and all ages. I love their patio and the interior space/decor is great. It's very much like a friendly neighborhood Cheers bar with a much higher cool factor.

What a terriffic beer selection in general! My faves are all represented at this cool, low key neighborhood pub. No food, but who cares when you have 30something beers and a full bar to choose from. Also, never worry about wait for service, it's one of the few bars in the village where you can expect to get good service and not have to deal with the younger drinking crowd. Oh, yeah also a ton of great belgium beers as well as some good local offerings.
Pros: Atmosphere (cool old building), free popcorn
Cons: parking
