Will Shamlian and Michael Leko preside over this casual neighborhood bar in downtown's Old Bank District, including reclaimed wood walls, communal seating and a patio that's well suited to people watching. Spring St. has amassed one of the larger selections of Craftsman Brewing Co beers in the city, a badge of honor in craft beer circles, since Craftsman founder Mark Jilg doesn’t just sell to anybody who asks. Spring St. showcases other area breweries, including TAPS and Strand. The bar also has sandwiches, which are excellent, each arriving on toasted sesame bread with a choice of chips, cucumber quinoa salad, or potato salad. Their meatball sub is the biggest winner.
