Brewers Coalition, like Rox Diner across the street, offers Newtonville neighbors more reasonably priced, familiar food. Look at Brewers’ menu and you’ll find what you’d expect: nachos, wings, a Caesar, burgers, wraps, tacos, fish and chips, steak tips, mac and cheese, brownie sundae.

The Newtonville spot is light and inviting with a carousel pony riding high, 50 craft beers (20 on tap), and food that is surprisingly high quality. All restaurant management plays to its clientele. They’d be silly not to. But you have to wonder about some decisions at Coalition, like food with so little seasoning. Full story for BostonGlobe.com subscribers.
