On King Street in historic Riverside and Avondale, Kickbacks Gastropub is a beer campus that has anchored the block since 2005. The draft list runs to hundreds of taps with daily updates, plus a deep bottle cellar, and the newer Goozlepipe and Guttyworks addition layers a main dining room, mezzanine, stage, Belgian-inspired basement, and a covered outdoor patio onto the original building.

Settle in for gastropub plates in the expanded dining rooms, chase a Belgian pour downstairs, or take the patio when the weather cooperates. The steampunk dining room is lined with local art and a wall of pennies, so the stop feels like more than a quick beer.

Scale is the story here: a serious draft and bottle program inside a multi-level King Street hangout, not a single-room pub. Give yourself time to explore the spaces rather than treating it as a one-and-done pint.
