Editorial Review for Sunset Grill & Tap – by Eric Grossman
The Scene
With 112 beers on tap and almost 400 more available by the bottle, the Sunset's beer selection knows no rival in the area. Beer snobs sample obscure seasonal microbrews, while area youths stop by for affordable grub and a casual, upbeat scene. Booths and tables in the downstairs dining room are perfect for groups, many of which celebrate special occasions with half yards of beer.
The Food
Once patrons finish perusing the 12-page beer menu, they face an equally daunting task: Choosing from the plethora of affordable snacks, sandwiches and entrees (more than 150 in all). Particularly enjoyable are offbeat versions of familiar appetizers like potato skins topped with chicken and vegetables, and buffalo wings served boneless on a stick. For something more offbeat, try grilled raspberry shark "stix," served with banana-beer ketchup. Diners looking for a filling dinner can't do better than the popular sizzling fajitas.

I have been to Sunset a few times for drinks - always a good selection of beer as they are known for and a good crowd. I recently ordered food and was pleasantly surprised, for a bar, the food was good quality and prepared nicely. Would definitely recommend Sunset for both drinks and DINNER!

This bar is your perfect neighborhood bar but not in any ordinary kind of way...The combination of many good things comes together nicely every time...The beer list is extensive and international, the food is surprisingly high qualty and the bartenders truly know their stuff when it comes to beers and making good recommendations, even depending on your mood. You just feel comfortable when you walk in, there's a lively atmosphere with lots on the walls and tvs placed high and discretely showing the main game of the day without overkill...The bar has 2 nicely-spread-out levels so it's rarely hard to find a seat (except let's face it on a peak Sat. pm, then you just get a table!). You can go with 2 friends or 10, or even alone to chill after along day at work, and you'll always walk out happier, or at least, a little more relaxed to face the craziness of the world outside!
