Best for: A group night built around bocce, bags and washers with 40 taps to work through.
Not ideal for: A quiet drink, or a Sunday, Monday or Tuesday — it is closed.

Best of Luck Beer Hall does not publish an age policy, and we do not publish one we cannot source. If the door policy matters to your group, contact the venue directly.

Why it stands out

The floor plan is the concept. Putting a games lawn in the middle of the room rather than shoving a dartboard in a corner produces a completely different social dynamic.
Forty rotating taps is a serious selection, and the punch-style cocktails and wine list widen it past beer drinkers.
It is downtown and walkable, which makes it easy to fold into a larger night.
It is closed three days a week and publishes little of its own information, both of which hold the score down.

Atmosphere

An open hall arranged around a central court or lawn, with seating pushed to the edges. It is loud in the way a room full of games is loud, rather than in the way a club is loud.

Music and programming

No regular music programme is published. The draw is the games and the tap list.
