Brickskeller. Sometimes they don't have a lot of things that are on the menu in stock.

I've been to both and like RDF much more. It depends on what atmosphere you want. The Brick is old, dirty, and sometimes they don't have all of the beers on the menu. RDF is much nicer and have 30 good taps and over 300 bottles.

I have not been to RDF, but I have been to the Brickskelly, I think you will like it.

My vote is RFD. The Brickskeller is trading on their former reputation. When we were there the staff was rude to the point of being nasty. Yeah, they have a big beer list. They didn't have the five beers I ordered so I ordered a draft. Of course they were out of that too. I just looked through the ratings on BA and there are a lot of Cs, Ds and Fs in the last couple of years. I really didn't care about the dirt and nasty bathrooms, but the staff and lack of selection will keep me from going back. Ever.

I believe that RDF is owned by the same folks who run the brickskeller, although I have heard good things. My choice in town, if you dont mind going over the bridge to alexandria is Rustico. They have 30 drafts, 300 bottle and one cask. They have Uerige Alt on draft right now...

Looks like RFD since I'm closer to that anyway. I'm planning to head over there on Weds night if anyone wants to join me.
