    The Roaring Twenties theme at Big House Brewing makes this former warehouse a three-story party palace. The microbrewery has a good number of beers on tap. The first floor has a game room. Live entertainment on weekends makes conversation difficult, but upstairs levels are more sedate. In good weather you can dine outside.
