Great, friendly staff, very knowledgeable about their beers. Common are "tap takeovers", running a full line by a single brewery. There is always something interesting on their beer list, and prices are very good (range from $4-8, mostly). They allow you to taste anything you like.

Their food is also great -- ask for the "bar menu" to save money and make things a little more casual. Their zucchini strings are excellent and plentiful, and you can't go wrong with a sandwich (chicken prosciutto is excellent).

As far as the atmosphere is concerned, it's a quiet little spot, dimly lit, with fairly standard decor. You can usually catch "the game" on their single tv perched above the bar. It's not a place to go be rowdy. On Thursday through Sunday nights, you'll find many couples having a romantic-style dinner out.

Just a few blocks from the Riverline light rail station @ Bordentown. Walk up the street from the station (Park St.) and turn right onto Farnsworth. The bar/restaurant is the building on the left up a block with the large mural of Benjamin Franklin (can't miss it). In all honesty, the spot often looks closed at night, but pull on the door-- they're open.

Their beer list is updated constantly and can be found at http://www.beermenus.com/places/2098-the-farnsworth-house
