Named for its location—near the intersection of Grand and Ogden—the G&O Tavern sits just a couple blocks from its sister bar, the Aberdeen Tap. It’s more upscale than the Aberdeen, which offers pretty straightforward bar fare like sandwiches, wings, tater tots, and a good selection of draft beer. Oddly, the only beer that’s consistently on tap at G&O is Coors Banquet, though there are three other taps that have a rotating selection of craft beer, and quite a few bottles. The focus seems to be more on the dozen-odd cocktails and the complicated-sounding dishes (the lamb chops come with dill pesto, whipped chai parsnips, and “yogurt buttered green beans,” whatever those are).
