Bedding Down Above a Beer Bar

Your recipe for a lost weekend of Keith Richards proportions: a bar with 550 beers on its list, and a not-exactly-luxe hotel room over top of said bar so you won’t have far to go after tackling said list. We can only imagine what kind of debauchery lies over the hotel room.

A Giant Wheel of Cheese and Truffles
