(Formerly BW 3's and Badaboomz) J Gumbo's is still under the same ownership and still has a tremendous beer selection. The atmosphere is toned down a bit since the BW 3 days and is much more conducive to enjoying a good meal and a great beer.  There are 44 beers on tap plus another hundred or so bottled beers. Ask for a beer menu and check the board for today's specials. Part of a 4-pub 4-block walking crawl with the Alcatraz, Ram, and Rock Bottom.
