First Look: Urban Family Public House
Owner Tim Czarnetzki says he hates the jumbled look of beer taps. In their place: a row of spare manila tags. Each one bears the name of the beer, its corresponding number on the menu, and a reminder about which type of glass to use.
More tables are planned for the center of the room.
The blackboards operate on a pulley system, and will tell you everything you need to know about what’s available.
The owners added a giant cooler (the layout is almost identical to The Sexton next door) and built an actual brick wall in front of it.
The opening beer list. Yow.
Owners Tim Czarnetzki and David Powell met as housemates in DC. They apparently spent plenty of hours drinking beer on the house’s porch swing, recreated in the bar’s front window.
An ice box from the late 1930s stores the beer-centric glassware.
The owners asked friends to decorate a long shelf space with items that were important to them.
Each beer has its designated glassware, bearing a logo created by a designer friend.
