Great minds don’t always think alike.

Take Andre Guerrero (Maximiliano, The Oinkster) and Ryan Sweeney (The Surly Goat). The former is all about tasty eats; the latter’s stuck on craft beer.

One passion they go Dutch on: Belgian fare. Hence, the pals opened downtown bar-cum-restaurant Little Bear, which pays homage to the land where moules met frites.

Despite its industrial setting, the well-lit space beckons diners with the ambiance of a neighborhood pub (painted wall murals and comfy wicker furniture).

Guerrero serves traditional recipes (gougeres and fried oysters, roasted wild boar sausage) alongside all-American dishes (his grilled cheese sandwiches make us melt). On brew duty, Sweeney curates a rotating variety of Belgian (Chimay, Achel) and Belgian-inspired (Russian River’s Damnation, The Bruery’s The Wanderer) ales. The bar stocks a wide selection of gins and specializes in beer schnapps (i.e., distilled beer).

How smart is that?
