Beware: burgers come with lots of Pickles. Pickles are cucumbers soaked in evil juice. Feel free to get them out of there or tell them to hold them to truly enjoy an amazing burger.
- Beers, burger and schnitzel were all delicious. Get them with root chips and grab a beer flight. If you want something light, the fried giardiniera is great. Toro & Night Moth are great beers.
Jacob NallMay 7, 2016The beer is unique, but still so good. Chili popcorn is small portion but great for snacking. The "Lonely Wolf" is one of the best cocktails I've ever had.
Ian SecviarFebruary 19, 2016The food is incredible! My girlfriend had the duck and polenta which was done perfectly and melts in your mouth. I had the burger which was also done to perfection with a lovely Dijon mustard sauce.- C ReyMarch 29, 2016A quality brew pub in East/Ukranian Village. Beers range from light/refreshing to to dark/complex. Ask for tasters to find the right beer to whet your palette. And deep fried gardeneria!
Heather DMay 25, 2016We got a few small plates and everything was delicious. Beers were all solid and even my non-beer drinking friend had 2 flights. We also tried a cocktail which was amazing as well.
Garrett JeffsJuly 25, 2021Incredible! What a nice place! Upscale main courses next to great bar food. Affordable beer menu. Had a delicious halibut. A+
J.R. ReedJune 5, 2021Trendy spot set in an old theater — lengthy beer list w/ several IPA and IIPAs. Food is mostly serviceable but the Brussel sprouts, fried chicken sandwich, and schnitzel are quite good.
Manoj AmbalavananMarch 21, 2022good spot that has a private area for large groups and food is p solid for brewery
Great place for a beer and savory snacks/meals. Get the Ritz crackers and cheese
Alex NawarFebruary 2, 2017Cool music and great beers. Burger was good but the salmon portion was tiny!
Cherry Amaro Ale clocks in at 8.2% abv & tastes like a good Manhattan!
Dom SkiOctober 7, 2017Beer is great, but service is super slow! They need to hire more waiting staff.
Christopher BevelJanuary 27, 2017Great rotating selection of locally brewed beer using botanicals. And the food is really great also. Get the spicy popcorn and sweet potato bar snacks, and dark hot chocolate with salted mallow-yum!
