Tasty, well made and approachable beers. Sliders that are big in size and flavor. Friendly service.

Great vibe - especially on a warm evening eating al fresco. Fast and really friendly service. The food is well conceived but not well executed. Limited options too. The smelt was breaded in corn flower but it was not crisp nor hot the way you would have expected. The kale panzanella salad was great only on paper: the panzanella concept refers to bread soaked in tomato juices floating in olive oil, instead we got a kale salad with bread croutons and overpowering acidity from the red pickled onions (per se a great idea): hard to taste anything else past the first bite. Beer flight was good and varied especially if you like bitter ones.

The beer was good. I had a maibock and a brown ale. I cannot for the life of me remember the name of either.We had a pretzel and it was great, then sliders which were fine (kinda dry and overcooked) and the meatballs that were rubbery and bland (we did not finish the meatballs even though we were still hungry). I would go back for a beer, but not for a meal.

This is a beer lover’s dream place! This place has an upscale sports bar atmosphere. It’s a little on the pricey side. The only downside I saw, was the online ordering it was a bit of a downer due to all of the steps you go to just too order, but we assured it’s only for a little time. Our server was awesome and provided really good service. It’s a good spot to hit up especially if you’re grabbing dinner or drinks before an event downtown.

My wife and I enjoyed it on a date. Got an amazing corner booth. Food was tasty, and the staff was really friendly. A little different than a typical dining experience, but we welcome that. Would visit again.

We stopped here for a beer before going on to dinner at The Marble Room. We sat at the bar and had a wonderful draft beer; “Not your uncle’s dunkel”. Great beer, great service, inexpensive. Nice clean restaurant and rest rooms.

Always one less star for not having a real menu but giving me a sign that I have to touch and grab to go to a link on my phone, not cool! STOP already!!!One less star because like most people can't cook Brussel sprouts, after you served them to me I was going to suggest taking it back and adding a tablespoon of butter and microwaving for a minute or two then maybe ok. The sliders are nothing great either but edible with ketchup.The beer might be why there's stars still, but I only had one and it wasn't too bad.

It's a sports bar with dark lighting which sent me mixed signals. Everyone was watching NBA and NCAA football on the many big screen tvs they had, but it was loud - so why the attempt to make it dim, formal, and intimate?The beer was okay at best. My girlfriend and I try 8 beers with 2 flights. The only one we really enjoyed was the Albino Stout, I'd say that was something they could brag about.I can't speak to the food because I didn't order any during my visit.

I like to try out local breweries when I am visiting different places and was looking forward to this place from what I read, unfortunately it was a disappointing experience. Beer was ok, ordering system was horrible. I came in from out of town and was forced to sign up and make an account for an app I’m not likely to ever use again. I had to give them all my personal information, just to order a beer. We decided to try a shared plate, although the food was good, I felt it was overpriced for the 3 tiny little tacos with barely a spoonful of stuff on it. They did deliver the order quickly once I went through the painful process of signing up for the app and figuring out how to use it to place the order but still I did not appreciate the fact that there was no option on your tip it was automatically added 20%. Also I ordered merchandise and the tip was added on top of the merchandise and while we were waiting for our growler we were asked to get up so they could clean the table. Very rude.

Holy effing goodness. This place blew me away. Staff was super friendly, especially bartenders working the late shift 12/3 (whose name I forgot). I had a flight of beers that was brewer's choice or something similar. Light lager, IPA, white stout (their signature brew), and stout. All were excellent. Roasted broccoli was amazing, and the pork shank with kimchi and pita was truly one of the best things I've eaten in a long time.Cannot recommend this place enough.
