Bronson Bierhall is a spot for great food, beer, and even a menu for your pup (this is always a…read morebonus for me). We arrived at the Bierhall early, which worked out well because by the time we left the place was full. I mean packed both with the inside and outdoor seating. Again, one of the things I really appreciate is that they're pet friendly, so we were able to bring our Mini Schnauzer, Chewie. We loved their dedicated pet menu. So did Chewie. We ordered him the pup cup and the chicken, and he absolutely loved both. The portions were good, too. Overall, the staff was friendly, and service was prompt, though in their speed it's not very personable. They also offer the convenience of ordering through a QR code, BUT I'm personally not a fan of scanning QR codes for security reasons. Still, it's convenient and expedites service. We had no issues parking nearby, which was great since we were dreading parking in the area. This place is a great spot to try new beers, a quick meal, and even bring your pup (and treat them to a meal as well). We had a great time and plan on returning.

Big fan of Bronson's. Word of warning is that it can get super crowded but that just speaks to its…read morepopularity. The food is good. My most recent venture I had the wings. I did the house dry rub and old bay dry rub. The house dry rub, to be honest, was bland and flavorless. The old bay seasoning was very good. I wish the wings had come with more. For $15 you get 8 total wings. It didn't feel like great value. What is great value and tastes great are the Bavarian pretzels as well as the buffalo chicken dip. You truly can't go wrong with either one. They have a robust drink menu. They are lacking a cider on tap but it is what it is. While this might not be the most glowing review on its surface, Bronson's gets 5 stars for its atmosphere and ability to accommodate a wide range of food and drink desires. I watched two World Cup games here and it was a fun, electric atmosphere.

We initially thought the rule meant dogs have to be out by 8 pm, but no one was patrolling or kicking dogs out at all. Many dogs stayed way beyond 8 pm. Next time we know we could bring dogs (as long as we come in before 8 pm). I ordered a chicken taco, thinking it's a regular restaurant sized appetizer (at least a few tacos) or even a dinner plate. Nope. Just one, sad, miserable, tasteless taco! Expensive too! My friends all burst out laughing when they saw that. Games seem free! Overpriced drinks and food (prices were NOT transparent!), limited options, lousy service. No real toilets, only dirty porta potties. Nice patches of artificial lawns and areas of sofas here and there. Mostly it's wooden picnic tables and benches. The highlights for some are the "beach" areas with lawn games. "Gorgeous" view of a giant unsightly electricity facility right across the street. Nothing nice here. It used to be just an empty lot for a long time. They put in some effort of bringing in small trees to make the place a bit more green. More trees and flowers would be nice. Of the two food trucks, only one was open, and the choices were terribly limited. Prices were not announced at all (simply a list of drinks or dishes). That is terrible. They should at least announce the prices.

When you walk in there's some booth and bar seating, but in the back they have a full covered tent and tons of benches. This time I came, there was also cornhole set up. You'd be surprised at some of the things they carry, like the shredder from the Veil, which is an amazing IPA or a 120 minute Dogfish head which according to my friend they don't produce a ton of so it's pretty rare how many places actually hold them. Lots of interesting beer to try and it's a very casual spot. Makes me feel like more of a local. The food prices have definitely got higher since I last came. They usually had really good sandwiches. I ordered the sweet potatoe fries which was $7 for a small tray size.

The restaurant was clean, bright, airy, and vibrant, with a trendy atmosphere that we absolutely loved. We started with the cornbread, which had a lovely texture, somewhere between traditional coarse cornbread and a sweeter version. It was tender, delicately baked, and served with delicious butter. I ordered the three-egg omelet, accompanied by a beautiful, fragrant, and refreshing arugula salad that I thoroughly enjoyed. The eggs tasted farm-fresh. My mate enjoyed a full breakfast of beef sausage, bacon, potatoes, over-easy eggs, and a biscuit. The coffee was hot and delicious, and my hot matcha was equally enjoyable. One small tip: specialty drinks ordered from the drink bar may take a little longer to arrive at your table, so keep that in mind. Our server was excellent, and the overall experience was wonderful. We were happy to leave a 25% tip for the great service. Between the delicious food, welcoming atmosphere, and attentive staff, this was an thoroughly enjoyable breakfast.

Ordering was almost seamless. We got there at 1 o'clock, middle of the day on 4/18, plenty of empty tables. We went up to the bartender to take our order, and then gave them our table number and they delivered it. The QR code on the table only shows you the menu. It is not used for ordering, which was odd these days. Chill and super awesome bartender with the mother of all hickeys. Good pours. No Skrewball :-( I had the special, two hot dogs with tater tots. When it said double, I wasn't sure if that meant double the tater tots, but that meant actually two hot dogs. Really good. I also had the other special, the two pancakes. I meant to get the sausage, but they gave me the bacon instead. It was great. Well worth it. I thought that was the better value of the meals. They got a lot of board and card games. Very laid-back atmosphere, 90s and early 2000s pop on the music, comfortable seating, and good food. The prices were reasonable. This is one area that I think we are just going to have to deal with for quite some time. The give-and-take of prices,. Smothered tater tots, pancakes, two hotdogs with some tater tots, and three drinks came out to ~$55. NOT. BAD. Was it worth it? If this had been just a normal restaurant, I would've said no. It would've been more worth it if it had been about $40. But... nobody made us pay to use the board games, or the card games, and we sat there for three hours and had a really good time. So based on that, the fact they provide a venue for playing these games and hanging out for a few hours makes it all worth it. Really strange thing was that there was this balding guy with a beard that randomly showed up as a waiter. We had been dealing with a bartender, so this guy, kind of rude came on to us and we weren't sure what to do with him. He kind of blocked me from paying the bartender. Rude. Not a hangout spot every day, but certainly once a week, maybe once a month or more, definitely a place to meet up if you got a group. I was really surprised by the diversity of the people that were there. A lot of chess players, a whole table of middle-aged women, lots of different people playing games. I would give them five stars, but not quite perfect. The rude guy at the end was so odd. Otherwise, great location, great parking, the food was good, good value, and fun.

Surprisingly it wasn't as loud as I though it would be. As far and the food and drinks go, the line was short and fast. The Boozy Frosé was absolutely delicious, especially on a warm breezy day. It wasn't too "boozy" and it wasn't too sweet either, just right. The slice of pepperoni pizza was a tad burned and honestly wasn't the best pizza that I ever had, but it didn't take away from the experience. I would definitely come back for the drinks and the views.
