The editorial take
Stone Mad Pub runs a beer-first program with Irish draught staples like Guinness, Smithwicks, and Harp, plus Great Lakes seasonals and Bells Two Hearted. The wine list spans a dozen reds and whites, from Alexis Soyer Cabernet to Miha Sauvignon Blanc, with a few sparklers. Non-alcoholic options include three zero-proof beers. A hidden gem in the arts district, the stone patio and bocce court set the scene for a proper pint.
- What should I order?
- Start with a draught Guinness or Smithwicks to match the pub's Irish character. For a local touch, try the Great Lakes seasonal. If wine is more your pace, the Alexis Soyer Cabernet or Miha Sauvignon Blanc are listed. Non-alcoholic drinkers have Guinness Zero, Heineken Zero, or Peroni Zero.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Beer enthusiasts will appreciate the range of draught and bottled options, from Irish classics to rotating seasonals. Wine drinkers have a decent selection of familiar labels. The bocce court and stone patio make it a relaxed spot for groups. Those seeking craft cocktails or a deep spirits list should look elsewhere.
- When should I go?
- The stone patio is a draw in warmer months, and the bocce court adds a casual activity. Evenings may bring events; the pub hosts weddings, business lunches, and cocktail receptions.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- An Irish pub atmosphere with hand-blown glass chandeliers, intricate woodwork, and a stone patio in the Gordon Square Arts District. The bocce court and event space set it apart from a standard tavern. Beer selection leans Irish but includes local Great Lakes seasonals, and the non-alcoholic beer choices show attention to inclusive drinking.

How it sits with the food
The food menu is not detailed, but the beverage program suggests classic pub pairings: Guinness with hearty stews or fish and chips, Smithwicks with roasted meats, and a crisp Miha Sauvignon Blanc with lighter fare like salads or seafood. The wine list's reds, including Cabernet and Malbec, would complement grilled or braised dishes.
