If you think the Monadnock building only slings Intelligentsia coffee, it would behoove you to check out this joint (which has such a classic saloon look that it seems to be as old as the Monadnock itself). Here, the beer starts flowing at 11am—so should your 2pm coffee break fail to cut it, now you know where to go instead.
