Ocean Ale House
The burger is ground fresh and the tap list turns over constantly, which is Jeff's own account from March 2017. Live music most evenings, out on Ocean Avenue.
Why go
Jeff's five-star review does more reporting than the pub's own page: Great neighborhood gastropub. It's family friendly, constantly rotating beer menu, and a fresh ground burger. There's live music in the evenings.
The grind is the detail that matters, because a burger ground in house is a different animal from one that arrives pressed. The pub describes itself as your neighborhood spot for phenomenal beers, wine, cocktails and outrageous locally-sourced American pub food,
and it still publishes an events calendar, so the music Jeff heard in 2017 is still part of the operation.1
Order this / avoid

Verdict
could-visit — Jeff gave it five stars in March 2017 and named a fresh-ground burger, a rotating tap list and live music in the evenings, none of which the pub's own page mentions. The venue still runs an events calendar, so the music held. It is a neighborhood pub on Ocean Avenue rather than a destination, and the rung says that.
