The Retired Guys are still working through our postponed dates and so, for the 4th week in a row we have ventured out doing what we like to do best! This week we visited the historic Railroad House Inn in Marietta to get a sampling of their beer and try a couple of appetizers.
I have been wanting to visit this location for a couple of years now but we put it off because the restaurant/bar is not open on our normal outing day of Tuesday. Too bad we waited so long! Upon entry today, we were directed to the Perry Street Cellar (downstairs) and were met by our bartender, David who turned out to be a positive in many ways. First was his outgoing attitude and friendliness and second was his knowledge of the 12 craft beers on tap. He easily discussed the nuances of each beer and was comfortable enough to suggest a favorite when we gave him an option of two or more to choose from. David explained some of the history of the location and described a once a month event called BYOV (Bring Your Own Vinyl) which is proving to be a popular evening.
We enjoyed our sampling of craft beers that were new to us and also nibbled (gobbled would be a better description) at two appetizers that were excellent. The food sample was enough to encourage us to consider returning for a full dinner in the near future.
Upon completion of our beer tastings we toured the restaurant upstairs which has a charm that can only be found in historic locations such as this. Where we were "considering" a return while downstairs, the upstairs convinced us that we need to do so on our next group dinner outing. We believe that the ambiance will contribute positively to a tasty meal to be shared with close friends. Based on our experience, we recommend this location to any who have not visited before.
