A lovely spot in the vibrant and rebuilding Ruver Arts District. Great espresso and fabulous baked goods. Try the gluten-free macarons.

Came here on Friday night, and it was a little sleepy. The staff were fantastically friendly, and the pizzas came out quick! Sat on their patio, and had a one regular pizza and one gluten free. They warm you the gluten free dough edges come out a little charred, but I wouldn't have known the difference otherwise! Good beer, good pizzas, good staff, what's not to like?

Enjoyed this place for a long time until they took off gluten free options. Sad that I can no longer enjoy pizza there and that they would decide to stop having options to support dietary needs.

The pork sandwich made like a Philly cheese steak was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. I even got it on gluten-free bread and it was amazing. My friend and I used to go to Bull and beggar for the Monday burger special. Glad to have the baby bull back in action

First time ever dining here and it was spacious and has a minimalistic warehouse decor that is very cool. Decor was also unique for the fact that you can write all over the walls! The little kid in me thought that was fun. Friends recommended pulled pork plate so my buddy had that. I did pulled chicken plate which was very tasty. Noticed the many people had similar plate dish and 2 chosen sides - sweet potato mash and collard greens (which has meat in it.) All dishes are gluten free at that's a bonus! Loved the jalapeno sauce best! Easy order and pay. Pick your own seats. Easy get-your-own silverware, drinks, sauces, and to-go containers in middle area of seating. Definitely would go back again.
