We made a quick stop there Saturday around 7:00pm, just to check it out. The place was absolutely packed, to the point you could hardly move thru the inside. Then there was the noise. OMG, the noise. The interior was so loud it made my eyes water. You would have an easier time carrying on a conversation on a carrier deck in full flight ops mode. We were finally able to get close enough to the tap wall to peruse the offerings. A little mental math (selections are priced by the ounce) showed the beers I would pour would run anywhere from $9.00 to $12.00 for a pint. That's fairly steep.

We may try another day and time. Perhaps a weekday in the afternoon. For me, Saturday night at Oak & Stone is an absolute no-go zone. I am nowhere near masochistic enough to pay premium prices to be aurally assaulted. I will say, the crowd on hand appeared to be much younger, and maybe the atmosphere was just their cup of tea. Just not mine.
