I got my hair cut this weekend and lo and behold guess what was on the same block as my hairdresser? Spitzers! I wrote about it last week after it had been written up in TimeOut and was eager to try it out. The space is really big... it seems like it takes up a quarter of the block, which is something that you hardly ever see in the city.
We took a seat on the communal bench and perused the extensive beer menu, finally deciding on Thomas Hooker Red Ale and Stoudt's Pale Ale. I hadn't ever tried Thomas Hooker, but it was really delightful. I'd read about their crazy popcorn that's cooked in pork fat (!!!) then sprinkled with a little tarragon, so we just couldn't pass that up. We both were in the mood for burgers, so we each got the Hickory Short Rib Burger which comes with hickory sauce and BBQ onions. We agreed that the popcorn was tasty, but not as good as the spicy cinnamon popcorn that I made a while back (so, so good). The burgers were pretty dang good too, although I would have liked a little more hickory sauce on it.
Overall, a good place for lunch on a lazy afternoon, especially if you want to do a little beer tasting. Good stuff.
