Built out of an automotive repair shop with garage doorsonbothends,thereis a lot of open space to just hangoutwithfriends,orjust peoplewatch. Youwillsee groups come for lunch and hangout for hours.

Notonly that, there is an associated speakeasycalled‘TheBlind Finch that impresses offering costume 1920’s themed parties, sophisticated cocktails, craft beers, spirits and a specialized menu made from the same Thistle Draftshop scratch kitchen.

The West Coast Ghost is a pucker u p c r a f t beer With a double IPA statusit’sonthehigherside of bitterness,butinalovely way I’d say it’s designed for a more mature palate, with the younger you are, the more pucker face you get. It’sfunandlively,and with IPA’s you expect them tobehazy butwiththeWest Coast Ghost, it appearance islightandclear Ienjoyed the tropical citrus, hoppy maltyfeeloftheWCG,and withitstrioofhops,itmade for a bold statement with greattaste. I’mnotusually a fan of grapefruit, but it works and has a crisp and dry feel. Thefinish is long and aggressive taking encoreafterencorethatjust

Made with thin crispy pork belly strips, jalapeno,beercheese,green onions, crispy garlic, Korean chili flakes, Thai chili flakes, and queso fresco, all topped on a pile of delicious fries, it comes together, and makes for a great pairing with the West CoastGhost.
The Wild Apricot, a.k.a. Wild Sour Series: Apricot, is another pucker up craft beer I was struck by the aromaalone,itjusthitsyou; like a brick. Its tarty sour refreshing,citrusy,biscuity, malty, and the stone fruit from the apricot ensures its perfectly balanced. With 6%ABV, theWildApricot, I’d say it’s a tart wild ale, and has a lasting finish OnethingI’drecommendis to make a candy out of it, now that would be incredible. TheWildApricotpairs well with the RD Fries, or anything on the Thistle Draftshopmenu.
