Fodor's Expert Review MacTarnahan's Taproom

The giant copper vats at the door tip you off to the specialty of the house: beer. This restaurant deep in the Northwest industrial district is part of a 27,000-sq-ft brewery complex. Start with a tasting platter of five of the 12 beers on tap. Each item on the menu, from the Scottish pie to the drunken ham sandwich to the beer can chicken, comes with beer pairing recommendation, and the fish-and-chips uses a batter made with Mac's signature ale. You can enjoy it all on the patio overlooking the landscaped grounds. Kids 12 and under receive a free kids' meal on Sunday.
