Great beer, friendly service, and laid back atmosphere. Plenty of space for groups and the kitchen is now open!! Beyond their excellent locally made beers, they offer local spirits to make your favorite cocktails.

If you're looking for a neighborhood bar that has good food and good beer. This place is it! Beer is good. Tots are perfect! Food comes out hot, beer is cold and the staff is great! It's a fun brewery with a neighborhood feel!

Friendly neighborhood bar. Each time we stop in there's new varieties to try, either brewed by Allusion or other PA brewers. Thought it was pretty cool they source their liquors from PA makers as well. Try a flight of beer, grab a can, have a cocktail, they have a bit of everything!

New brewery that opened up in April! Their menu has a nice variety of beers: stouts, IPAs, sours, and lagers. I was super excited to see a cherry pie sour on the menu. It was really delicious and unique! A great balance of sweet and tart, without being overwhelming. The atmosphere is casual and family friendly with board games on a shelf in the back to sit and enjoy time together. They even have sofa booths for maximum comfort if you're staying awhile, or typical table and chairs if you prefer. They also have a small food menu with hot dogs, pizza, sandwiches and some appetizers. I ordered the turkey panini and it was good. It had some jam, granny smith apples, and gouda cheese on top to give it extra flavor. The turkey was a bit thin and could have had more seasoning in my opinion, along with a bigger sandwich to be more filling. But for $10 and coming with a bag of jalapeño chips, I can understand the portion size. It was a nice experience here and a fun place to check out!

I stopped by here a couple of Thursdays ago with a few former coworkers. We love visiting local breweries together and so it was nice to see that Allusion opened up in our neck of the woods. I arrived to the brewery at around 8:30 to see that trivia was being played. This brewery is located in Duncan manor and has both a large bar and plenty of table seating. On the day that I was there they had someone selling hot dogs out of the corner and I was surprised by how many people at the bar had mug club mugs that they were drinking out of. As I often do whenever I visit a new brewery, I went with a sampler from here. At allusion it consists of 4 different 5 oz pours and costs $15. For my beers I went with the Stay on Target (English IPA), Smash Azacca IPA, Endless Dark Imperial Stout and Down on Duvel (Key Lime Pie Tart). I first started out with the Stay on Target which was nice and smooth at the start with some bitterness on the backend. Up second was the Smash azacca IPA which was bitter from start to finish with a lingering aftertaste of it too. Third was the Down on Duvall which surprisingly really did taste like a key lime pie. It was Sour with lime at first and then finished with the cinnamon butteriness of a pie crust. Last but certainly not least with the 11.5% ABv Endless dark. It started out with the bourbon barrel and then was followed by some bitterness at the finish. Out of the bunch I liked the down on Duvall the best with the endless dark being my second favorite. The bottom line for me is that I would stop by here again in the future. I thought that Allusion had some interesting and good beers and so I would be interested in trying more of what they have to offer.

This was our first visit to the second location. We sampled several different beers that they had on tap. Beer flavored beer which is a light beer, equivalent to what we call beer light (Bud,Coors or IC Light), One inning More traditional Pale Ale, Queen of Connacht Red Ale, Silvers Treasure NE IPA, and a stout that was 11.5% ABV which liked all especially the NE IPA and Red Ale, think Red Ale was our favorite. They have a rotating ciders on tap from Arsenal Cider House. They had a food truck called Big Burrito here. It was busy for just opening up. They have a large seating area. Typical table and chairs and nice relaxing couches. Great first experience at this location. Cheers!

Cool spot with ample space. BYO food to pair with your beers and hang out. We brought our kids and there were tons of board games to keep them occupied. Will def be back!

Nice little place tucked away behind the dmv. Japanese fast food next door. They allow door dash delivery and pets/dogs allowed in outdoor sitting area. Good selection of their own beer on tap along with cocktails from local distilleries. Service was excellent.

Took 30 minutes for a bay breeze that wasn't even made right. Totally disorganized. Service was abysmal.

Made an impromptu stop into this satellite brewery pub on Saturday and were very pleased…read more We sat at the bar and had a great chat with Paul who was minding the bar. He allowed us to sample a few beers and made suggestions to help us choose. There were a few hazy options as well as a black IPA. There is food onsite, which is supplied by sandwich shop Long Story short. The menu includes soft pretzel, pizza and a quesadilla. We had the quesadilla which was filled with tasty seasoned shredded beef. Also had the pretzel which came with mustard but surprisingly not beer cheese! The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. There is a nice outdoor space that we will check out when it gets a bit warmer. Glad we found this place and look forward to visiting again soon!

They also have 2 tvs around the room, giving you the ability to watch sports. This made for a super comfortable atmosphere to relax and enjoy time together. Their menu at this location is a bit limited, especially if you want something on draft. Their stout beers and IPAs are all on tap but lagers are only available in can and only 4 options. I ordered the Lil Cinder out of the can, which was a wonderfully cheap $3. It's one of my favorites at their other location and was happy it had a consistent smooth and refreshing taste out of the can too. I would have liked some more beer options, like sour or wheat beers, but understand it's only the taproom.

I originally wasn't…read moreplanning on Acrospire, but it ended up being our audible whenever the Pirates game was ending at the same time we were heading out. The inside of this brewery has a relaxed, open vibe with plenty of natural wood tables, metal chairs, a visible brewing area in the back, and colorful string lights hanging across the ceiling. There's a chalkboard mural on the wall and a Pride flag (since it was Pride month) adding to the welcoming atmosphere. There's also a well-stocked kids corner with books, puzzles, games, and art supplies, which is a great touch for families like ours. Outside of the beer, it looks like they often host different food vendors inside the kitchen space. As I often do when visiting a new brewery, I decided to go with a flight. It consisted of five beers: Joe Brown (coffee brown ale), Hear No Evil (honey ginger wheat), Honeycomb (oat honey ale), ChatBRU (west coast IPA), and Apple Pie Sour (sour ale). First up was the Joe Brown and it started with a solid coffee flavor and finished with rich toasted malts. Up second was the Hear No Evil which was A bold honey ginger wheat with ginger dominating from start to finish, leaving a lingering spice on the palate. Thurs was the Honeycomb which has Sweetness from the honey hit up front, followed by a more mellow oat finish. Fourth was the ChatBRU which was Smooth at first before diving into hoppy bitterness that lingered long after the sip. Last and certainly not least was the Apple Pie Sour. My first sip was mostly the cinnamon and sugar rim, which added a nice touch with a little salt on the finish. The second sip, without the rim, delivered a strong apple flavor that lingered nicely. I could absolutely see how they named it, as it genuinely tasted like apple pie. Out of the bunch, I ended up liking the Apple Pie Sour the most, closely followed by the Joe Brown. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I enjoyed my beers, and my wife and I found it to be a super chill place. We loved that we could possibly bring our kids thanks to the thoughtful kids corner.

Another stroll down memory lane with an old yinzer. I remember when this was "the 412" and even…read morebefore that the "Shaler lounge." The inside has been completely remodeled now to suit the brewery. There's games for kids, TVs with sports on, and a nice atmosphere. Beers are good and bartenders were friendly.

I will say I wish the bun was smaller, it is just too much bread. The onion rings were great. The sugar pretzel was good could use a little more seasoning on it though.

Full disclosure, i attended a birthday party here. We were in the outdoor area which is nice…read morebecause there is cover and it is behind the building and not along the roadway. I never could understand why people eat outside in downtown places where cars drive by them 5 feet away. The beers were OK, nothing really special but OK. They have a little bar outside so getting a refill was quick and easy. The don't serve any kind of hard spirits. My wife isn't a beer drinker so one of the bartenders at the inside bar mixed her up a drink with seltzer and something else(tea) which she found to be quite tasty, so i tipped her generously for having the ambition to please a customer. Where they fell down IMO was their pizza. It just wasn't very good. We had several versions of their Sicilian to choose from. The cheese was generous, but the crust was doughy and heavy, the sauce was flavorless, and the toppings were very stingy. A big piece of Sicilian pizza with 3 slices of pepperoni is not good. I checked out their menu and was stunned at the prices they are getting for those pizzas. WAY overpriced. Of course i didn't have to pay for them since it was a party, but knowing what their pizza is like i would never go back there and pay those prices. The wings were just OK, pretty mediocre. Parking is a joke. No where near enough spots for the size of the place. Overall it was just OK, i would not return. There are better places for the same or less money.

On my second visit, I ordered a margarita with chips and salsa.

Walking into BJ's is like opening a phone book from 1997. The menu is absolutely limitless. Page after page after page of "Sure, we can make that too." If you've ever thought, "I wish one restaurant served pizza, pasta, burgers, tacos, steaks, salads, and probably auto parts," BJ's has you covered. The restaurant is huge and has a long bar. World Cup Soccer was playing...seemed like it could be a fun place to watch sports. We started with beers, a glass of wine, and the spinach artichoke dip. The dip arrived quickly, which was impressive. The dip itself? Perfectly adequate. Not bad. Not good. Just existing. It was the Switzerland of appetizers. Next up, a salad and the burrata pizza. Fair warning: the pizza that arrived appeared to have only a passing acquaintance with the glamorous model featured in the menu photo. Apparently, the menu photographer deserves a raise. The salad and pizza hit the table, but our drinks were still on a spiritual journey somewhere between the bar and our booth. Thankfully, we had water, because dehydration was beginning to feel like a real possibility. Eventually the drinks arrived and we dug in. The pizza was... mediocre. Not offensively bad. Not memorable. Just aggressively average. Somehow it also managed to be dry, which is an impressive achievement for pizza. We asked for extra sauce, and our server happily brought out a cup. Unfortunately, the sauce appeared to have come directly from a refrigerator..... Nothing says "fresh pizza enhancement" quite like cold, cold marinara. To be fair, our server was pleasant, friendly, and genuinely trying his best. He was easily the highlight of the meal. Will we be back? Probably not. With a menu that large, you'd think they'd eventually stumble into greatness. On this visit, they mostly stumbled into mediocrity.
