There's something West Coast going on in the Rusty Knot, and it's not just the kids in their tennis shoes and micro cut-off shorts with no skivvies. I'm still sorting out whether I like or dislike this venue, which I'm told is owner by the same folks as the Spotted Pig. The nautical theme lends me to a childhood nostalgia, the lightening is spot on and the close proximity to the busy highway is a bit unsettling.
Bonus: FREE Juke Box (given that the crowd knows their music). Cocktails: from the looks of the so-called "dive," stick with beers on tap or Maker's on the rocks. The selling points? 99cent beers! And a short, clever bar snack menu: home-made spicy pickles, a chicken-liver-and-bacon sandwich with red-onion marmalade, meat pies with sweetbreads!
