Default Lighthouse no longer has draft beer

I brought some friends to The Lighthouse for drinks and dinner. I was shocked to learn draft beer (which was $1.50 per beer) is no longer offered at The Lighthouse!

Were too many customers were getting wrecked? Doesn't appear to be a very bright idea.

It’s more cost effective to serve draft beer than bottled beer. They are still offering bottled beer.

Maybe you can serve more people in less time. Maybe it's easier to account of the number of beers being sold and being gifted. Don't most people go there for the view?

My thought exactly. The margin on draft beer is huge compared to bottles.

Yes, but I like looking at draft beer just as much as bottled beer.

We asked, they were running out of room in the walk in box for storage, something had to go so the barrels lost. I'm not happy about it but still like the location & the people.
