The vibe

An American beer and rec hall in downtown's Shinola Hotel by NoHo Hospitality, with token-operated taps, big screens and games spilling into Parker's Alley.

Known for

Self-serve beer via tokens and tap tables
Buckets of fried chicken and honey-butter biscuits from Penny Red's
Foosball, shuffleboard and beer pong

What to expect

Buy a handful of tokens, pour your own craft pours, and settle in with fried chicken and a game of shuffleboard; garage doors open to the alley in summer.
