Wow! The food & beer were so good & our amazing bartender/waitress Dawn even more awesome. She was super attentive. We ate the mussels appetizer along with the Roman noodle soup with beef brisket ??

If the band is playing, the place hops and is allot of fun and it's very spacious. For a brew pub, I was disappointed with the Craft Beer and they're very pricy. They don't have any domestic draft so it has to be bottle beer if you don't get the Craft Beer. The have 4 very nice well kept pool table which provide room to play privately with friends. I wish they had cheaper domestic drafts, which would be a good alternative to their craft beer. Overall, I enjoy the place and will continue to visit along with a few other local bars.

Ordered the Korean Beef Rib dish and it was served cold. I hadn't had it before so I didn't know but asked the server and he said it was supposed to be hot. He asked if I wanted to have it warmed up but I had already eaten half. The Fire Starter appetizer was very interesting. No domestic beer. The server was nice, but could've come back sooner to check on our satisfaction. Probably will not return.

Went for a burger and had a very good meal. The onion rings were great and the food was made fresh. She had a veggie bowl and enjoyed it. Stew provided good service and I am sure we will visit again

Visited back to back weekends. Delicious food (steak and cheese, roast beef dip, tacos and wings) that was on point. Excellent choice of beers (13 I believe) with a wide verity of flavors and alcohol content. Kim was the bartender and provided outstanding service! Very attentive and knowledgeable, she gets 6 stars! OTW also has multiple TV’s for all the sporting events going on, pool tables and live music both weekdays and weekends. Can’t go wrong grabbing a bite here and enjoying a few adult beverages. Beware the “Angry Rabbit”, it packs a punch!

This place has such good vibes. We went there a few nights in a row, and each time was a good experience. Bartenders had great attitudes and served responsibly and with consistency. Food was prompt and exactly as expected. Bathrooms were clean, stocked, and usable even in the busiest of times. Pool tables and karaoke Thursdays were definitely a highlight- everyone here had such positivity and good times, and not one did I feel uncomfortable or disengaged. Would definitely recommend and will visit again in the future.

My husband and I were vacationing in Venice and love visiting local breweries, we ar from Vermont where there is craft beer galore. This area had pretty good reviews so we decided to give it a try. We wanted to sit outside, but didn’t realize there was an outdoor bar area with tables right next to it. The lady took our beer order and said she would be back for the food order. The beer was ok, we both got IPAs that tasted similar to Long Trail. There were 3 men sitting at the bar being very loud, using foul language, talking about very inappropriate subjects and smoking right at the bar area. The lady didn’t come back to take our order for over a half hour! We were so uncomfortable with the situation that we quickly drank our beers and decided not to eat there. I had to go and flag down the waitress/bartender just to pay for our beer so we could leave. A very poor experience, with the environment and customer service. We will not go back and I sure wouldn’t recommend this to anyone with a family.

Brought 6 friends tonight, pretty disappointing, food comes out NO silverware 10 minutes we waited the GM should be fired with all capital letters.I would rate McDonald's a safer choice at least there you an get plastic silverware!!PS also my friend Carl asked for a beverage that he did not get the whole time he was there.To All good people good luck!!!

Excellent in-house brews. Had the ramen, it was… good. I’d recommend it for cool weather. Service was very, very slow. It took a long time to get our orders in, be served our food, and we sat with empty plates and glasses for quite a while before we were able to flag down our server and ask for the check.

Friendly, attentive staff who goes out of their way to help l meet you needs and wants, they were great with the kids too. Went on a Wednesday for the live music, they were busy and still took great care of all 5 of us. The food and beer were delicious. Do the flights of beer, wait staff are knowledgeable and will recommend beers based on what you like.We will be back!
