Despite their differences, gastropubs in the United States share certain characteristics. All serve alcohol and have at least a decent variety of beer and wine. All offer ambitious fare, even when described in uninspired ways, such as "shepherd's pie." All strive to create comfortable atmosphere, and all aspire to earn a reputation in their communities as places where one can go and find--as in the TV show "Cheers"--that everyone knows your name.
Perhaps not surprisingly, all profess to have a really good burger.
