Lots of seating, some in a courtyard, on the back patio, or the other building across the courtyard. The carnitas tacos were good & came out fast. There's a self serve hot sauce fridge. The guac was maybe a little tangy for me... not my fave but still pretty good.

We didn't even realize that Pinthouse Brewing had a sourdough crust (apparently not all locations…read moredo), so that was such a fun surprise. The sourdough pizza was really good--almost like a focaccia/Detroit-style hybrid, but with the sauce layered on the bottom. Super flavorful, crispy edges, soft inside... honestly just hit. Also--my husband was way too excited (in the best way) to see boiled peanuts on the menu, so of course we had to start there. Great call. We'll definitely be back.

They have the advantage of being right next to the convention center, which means a lot of foot traffic and the ability to host private corporate events (big money there!). However, the convention center is closed for a few years! Still, the siren song is bringing the crowds in and they seem to be doing a-ok. Here's to another 7! (Do need to levy a small complaint that the flights cost $18, though. Beers are otherwise fairly priced, not sure what's up with the flights.)

It's definitely an accommodating, welcoming space that's designed to sit and stay a while. You can bring your own family, of two and four legs, and no one would bat an eye. The beer is great and the bartenders will graciously guide you through the list if you're uncertain. Service is quick, easy, and to the point. You can go from zero to raising a glass in under a minute if you wanted. I didn't investigate the food situation but I hear it exists. Bear in mind that it's right across the street from Via 313, which is what I tend to hit up before or after a visit.

I am going to go with a minority opinion here…read more But I am sticking to my guns on this one. I think the Zilker Brewing Company is a terrible brewery. Okay - I only had two of their beers ... so I may have been freakishly unlucky. But since there were only 13 beers on the menu - 2 out of 13 both being bottom 1%-ers is not at all an auspicious sign. Yeah, they were both seasonal specials and not Zilker's mainline offerings. So it could be that the mainline offerings are better. I still don't like those odds. The two guilty beers were a) LA Pilsner which tasted like nothing. The bartender told me that this is a beer drinker's beer. Beer that tastes like nothing so it can be consumed in quantity is called "swill" in my book. b) Culture Creature which is a fruity IPA. This tasted more or less like cleaning fluid. * * * Now to be sure, the Zilker Brewery was unlucky on two counts. 1) I was there for a SXSW showcase. They are an outdoor venue - and the night was unseasonably cold. The Zilker Brewery does not control that. 2) It did not help that the first two bands of that showcase stunk up the house so badly I left the the showcase in disgust. (Including the once-good band I had explicitly come to see.) * * * However, as a Yelp reviewer, I do my best to be fair and objective. I ran into the two-bad-beer problem before I hit the freezing-my-ass-off problem and before any of the bands had started playing. So I knew where I stood on the beer before these other distractions emerged. Suffice it to say, I am not coming back here to drink any time soon.

That's right, they have Ranch Water on Tap coming out of the spicket just like draft beer. It was really good and very popular with the other patrons. I ordered the Italian Sub and my wife ordered the Muffuletta Sandwich. They both had so much meat and veggies on them. It was actually kinda hard to take a bite, but we managed. They were both very good. The service in this place is amazing. I got to give a shout out to my bartender "Matt"! He was so attentive, on top of everything and had a great personality. He's one of the best bartender's I've ever had. It was a pleasure to meet you Matt! The atmosphere and ambiance in this place is very lively, joyful and rocking. They had a band that was made up of several band members from a school (sorry I don't remember the name of the school) that was killing it on stage. They played all kinds of music and a lot of old rock and roll music. They were so much fun to listen to and watch. This was our first time here, but it for sure won't be our last.

Their beers have that true craft beer taste, which is something I really enjoy. I've tried many of their beers and have brought friends here to hang out as well.

This warrants an update because my initial review was nothing more than a couple of sentences and written long after I'd visited multiple times. Brewtorium opened back in 2018 and I've been several times during our twice yearly trips to visit family (prior to relocating to ATX). Ok, so... Going from four stars to five and I'll explain in a minute. First, I want to say how incredible the service is. As are the pours and food. Never once have we had a bad experience. It's a really welcoming spot with stellar beers. I love that they offer a mix of food options from traditional German brewery food to traditional American brewery and pub food. Here is why we're going up a star: during our latest visit, I walked over to our table after ordering and spilled my beer everywhere. Before even getting a sip lol. A staffer immediately came over with towels, cleaning products, and a fresh replacement beer. All without making me feel foolish or embarrassed. Next, we attended an event in the private room and it was perfect. Service continued to be above and beyond. Finally, I'd like to thank the brewmaster and brewers for "The Lost Mambo" and to beg that it stay on regular rotation and not seasonal. Gang, this is the greatest beer!! My absolute favorite. It's an Italian pilsner (only 5.5 abv) w/lemon biscotti. Wow. Wow. Wow. One of my fave breweries. Hands down. Support local. Drink beer...or not (they've got mocktails and n/a beer options).
