Brilliant Beer Bar

I went twice this week to an excellent beer bar that is, ironically, just around the corner from my old Campo d'Fiori apartment.  It was right there for two months and -- because it's on an obscurely located side-street -- I never noticed it.

Anyway, Open Baladin has a huge collection of Italian craft (and other) beers, it has an awesome look and feel, and very good service.  I have not tried out the food yet, but I hope to do so soon.  If you want a change of pace from the constant vino the next time you're here -- and you would rather not have cocktails at Barnum -- look for it.  Actually, Barnum and Open Baladin are only 5 minutes apart.  It's easy to do both.  That's what a friend and I did last night!
