    Half the beer fridge!
    Katie N.

    Great selection!! I was very impressed and liked the ambiance. It was nice and spread out. We picked up 1 to drink there and 1 to drink at home. Can selection impressed me more than what they had on draft. I would return.

    What a great venue for casual drinks and bites. A group of us came here after bridal dress shopping, and it was the perfect place to celebrate with friends. They have quite the extensive beverage menu, great tacos, and a variety of seating areas perfect for groups or couples. Their ordering process is unique - you place orders on your phone, and they bring the food to your table. IPhones seemed to have more problems with this process than androids, but their service was fast and friendly.

    Such a great concept. A bottle shop, bar, indoor and outdoor restaurant. We sat outside in the back. There is a QR code at each table, you order your drinks and food, and a server brings them to you . Our server did explain the entire process to us. You can order various sizes of drinks, even a 1 ounce. We also ordered food, a Rueben sandwich and tacos ( corned beef, carne asada and shrimp) The food was very good! The corned beef was prepared so well. They have a large selection of drinks and hundreds of beers to purchase. You can purchase a single can/bottle for onsite consumption. ALl of the servers we encountered were super nice and informative. Highly recommend.

    Such a great bottle shop that opened! Their tap-list is tremendous with a well-curated, high-quality variety of beers, seltzers, and ciders. They had beers on taps from well-known breweries not commonly seen on draft around here, so that was such a treat. I met Tom, Jay, and Felicia who were all friendly and great to talk too. There's a huge refrigerated section for there or to-go and I'm excited to come back to try their food! The place looks very elegant, smells woodsy, and a wonderful place to stop by.

    Southwestern Chicken salad

    Our second visit here. The service was fine. Nothing to complain about at all and still cute inside, especially for fall The chicken tacos were very dry. Not very good and the quesadilla was just lettuce no cheese. It was very yucky and not good at all. They were very busy and it was hard to track Anyone down. This visit was quite disappointing. Not sure if we'll be back. It left such a bad taste in our mouth. It's sad to say that Taco Bell would've tasted better than this

    Came to Bottle Theory on the 2nd day they were open. You would think they've been open for years! Great service. Amazing beer choices. Great food.

    Poor signage of their Grab & Stay policy

No complaints about parking or the walk. Boom, we were there. Now, where it gets interesting. You walk in the building's front door, and it opens up to a room where you can access several businesses. Josephine's is straight to the back. It's very dark, smelly, and loud. This totally reminded me of a dive bar on a college campus (maybe worse?). There's not much seating, especially when it gets crowded. The bar has limited seating, and the seating on the floor is even more limited. The chairs and couch are stained with who knows what. The song books for karaoke are sticky and nasty. From a great perspective, I was sitting in a chair and went to move and felt something poke me. It was a pair of random scissors! The drinks are 2/5 and prices are extremely expensive. I had a root beer float martini, and it was "meh". From a karaoke standpoint, it was decent. Lots of different people singing. Some good, some bad. It was entertaining, and some people were pretty brave, haha. Try this place if you dare. Get here early to get a seat. I don't think I'd come back. Once is enough.
