    the outside of the building
    Mike P.

    As much as I'd like to say they were wrong, Ryan And Sophie S were correct in their review from July 2021. The first two lines, however, are the most pertinent: "Well. Can only improve." So, it did. It improved substantially. The three beers that I tried today were leagues ahead of those that I tried over the summer. But let's back up. LOCATION: In a building that used to be a car wash, BRB is on the Anthony Wayne Trail, just WEST of downtown Waterville. It may not be in the dead center of the Toledo metro area, but I'm a big fan of decentralized drinking. ATMOSPHERE: Nice, new, clean, comfortable. It's got what you'd expect: Christmas tree, high tops and low tables, a patio, functioning garage doors for when the weather gets nicer, etc. FOOD: None, but food trucks are a thing and are reportedly "on the way." SERVICE: Fast, knowledgeable, friendly. BEER: Yes, it's getting better each time I come here. I sincerely hope that the "Spicy Bison Pale Ale" becomes a permanent fixture on the tap list (doubtful). Take a light refreshing pale ale and make it even MORE refreshing by flavoring it with jalapenos? Yeah, it works well. The Breakfast Stout, flavored with, obviously, coffee is another winner. As the weather gets colder, stouts get better! Of course you'll find IPAs, a few of them. So in the end, I'd probably give this Buffalo Rock Brewing about 4 stars, but because that jalapeno pale ale was so well done...FIVE STARS!

    This was our first stop of the day brew hopping. I love that we can just get in the car and go wherever and always have a great time! We loved it here. It was a surprisingly chilly morning/early afternoon, and I was dressed for it to be in the 80s as the previous several days it had been up to 100 degrees. The inside is rather small but they open the "garage doors" and have two outside seating areas. So the entire place is quite open! They had a decent variety of beers and it was pretty easy to find something you will enjoy. I got a red ale (shocking lol). He got the Hanna Banana chocolate stout. He did say you couldn't really taste the banana though. We grabbed our tagabrews and were off. Oh they also had food trucks outside cooking up some yummy BBQ! We would absolutely come back!

    Winston's first brewery experience and bandana. We like the women and women and the raspberry cream ale the best. Will come back to try some more. Love the front and back patios. Well done.

    Outstanding selection of beer. They have a dedicated and enthusiastic staff. Our favorite brewery! They feature local, live music most nights and are super dog friendly.

    The beer is pretty typical of a small town brewery. However, one of the owners was very rude.

    Went for a ride down the Maumee to Grand Rapids and decided to stop for lunch. We wanted something…read morewe had never tried so we picked Wild Side Brewing, on main street. Upon entering you're in a comfortable pub/bar with comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. We were greeted quickly and seated ourselves. The menu was small but interesting, several grinders, salads and pizza are on offer. We didn't drink so we can't comment on the beer selection, but I saw another patron with a beef flight. I ordered the Havana Dipper : a Cuban type sandwich with chicken, ham red peppers served with a spicy mustard aioli dip.. it was FANTASTIC, one of the best sandwiches I have ever had.. Recommend 100%.. my wife had the Mediterranean Salad, she loved it nut would suggest some Feta cheese and less olives, but she says it was very tasty. We plan on coming back soon

    My husband and I stopped in on a Friday night. They had a decent crowd and an acoustic group…read moreplaying, so we were excited to check the place out. The atmosphere definitely had potential. Then came the food. My husband started with the $16 wings. For $16, I was expecting some pretty impressive wings. Instead, they were tiny and honestly looked like they had taken a quick detour through a gas station hot case before arriving at our table. Definitely not what I expected for the price. We ordered a 14-inch Italian pizza on thin crust, and to be fair, the pizza was good. Was it $26 good? That's debatable. Especially since there are NO PRICES on the menu. When the bill came, it showed $15 for the thin-crust pizza and then another $11 charge for "Italian." Apparently toppings come with a plot twist. It would be nice to know you're ordering a $26 pizza before you eat it. The building itself could also use some love. The outside facade is begging for a date with a power washer, and the inside could definitely benefit from a good deep cleaning. There was noticeable dust and cobwebs, and nearly every table around us had napkins shoved underneath the legs to keep them from wobbling. At some point, the napkins deserve to be put back on the tables and the tables deserve to be fixed. Overall, it feels like this was probably a really cool place once and still has the bones to be one. The live music was enjoyable, the pizza tasted good, and there was a nice crowd. But when you're charging $16 for tiny wings and $26 for a 14-inch pizza, the food, cleanliness, maintenance, and transparency with pricing need to match. A power washer, a deep clean, a screwdriver, and some prices on the menu would go a long way.

Feels very transactional…read more Bathroom: *** (clean) Quality: **** Quantity: ***** Consistency: * (depends on who's working) Selection(s): limited food/many drink options Presentation: **** (well platted) Service: *** (depends on how busy/who is servicing) Price: $$ (Affordable) Ambiance: (Loud/Casual when Busy) Events: They participate in community events, not sure if they have specific events, but they do have an app Attitude: (They have a good spirit, if you get to engage with them) Outside: yes Brunch: No Happy Hour (Specials): food, drink specials (Couldn't find times) just said food specials 15$ on a poster Closed: Unknown Ease of Menu/Details: * (Very Difficult due to being on a wall and random posters for info) Digital Table ordering: Available Overall: Good energy, service could use a little polishing. It's a single sided service approach causes an interaction disconnect that, meanwhile believes in supporting so many things, lacks on customer experience, service and engagement. I'll start with the pros: they have a quick food, quality, menu that supplements their large selection of brews. The only place that has pretty good Meades. The girls here work diligently, they're very approachable, (some) don't know much about the details of the items however they're quick to find them. They're always smiling and even when it's busy, they are very task oriented. That being said, I appreciate the establishment, its aura, and its local support for community and small business. Rosie, and the former police officer, as well as the day shift, and kitchen staff are all great people and seem to enjoy giving service with a smile and are so nice, when you can get to engage with them. Now, the quirks. The menu is on the wall, if you're sitting at the bar, or outside, and your phone is dead, you have to walk up to the bar and then walk the 15 feet wall, around customers to be able to see what's available. It's very cluttered, random and hard to navigate, especially the non-beer options on random sized/font posters. You have to advocate yourself for service, walk up to the bar, because otherwise you might not get attentive service. I waited 15mins between them conversing with other patrons to get a drink. It's very hands-off which, a lot of places are inline with this digital/QR table ordering and walk up service since Covid. However, the feel this place gives: mostly engaging, service with a smile but is inconsistent, giving mixed results on exactly how to take to this place with each person giving a different customer service experience. So, you can see from the photos it's very much walk up service. Which can be difficult for some who have disabilities, sit outside, and other factors and isn't really clear with the layout and expectations it sets with its environment. I've came in several times and have had prompt service at the bar, but on this night, even not busy, was like pulling teeth just to get any follow up/help, silverware and drink refills. I sit at the bar to be able to discuss special needs of food restrictions, etc. but, if it's too busy I probably wouldn't stop in due to having to walk up to the bar to address each need/order and I'm not a fan of table/digital ordering due to food restrictions and menu ordering on digital platforms that are clumsy at times leading to confusion or wrong orders/bill splitting etc. Sometimes food is made well, well portioned, sometimes it seems like they ran out of food and found bits at the bottom of a portion to affix to an order. I've had to ask for plates, napkins and silverware each time I've came here. Should be consistent when bringing food. All and all, I WANT to like this place. It has potential, it supports women forward, small business, local, and service animals. All the things I appreciate and love. They are clean, from the sound of overhearing they have a great membership club (still don't no anything about it), I'll have to wonder away from the bar to read the posters posted around to see if I can get more info. Rosie, who was explaining to to a customer next to me, was very diligent, helpful and engaged with customers very well but, was also stuck to the bar area waiting for people to approach so, its very one sided experience. Being short staffed sucks, it is a today issue. This place really tries, they're strong, female forward and driven. I will continue to try and come back, hopefully this review isn't to harsh, not meant to be, we only know what we know and hopefully this helps shed light in a space others can understand and maybe help. Keep up the hard work and I will keep returning. A similar place is Batch Brewing with the same format that executes this method perfectly. So, it's doable.

    I don't usually leave bad reviews but we were really disappointed with Oncore. We live in Wauseon…read moreand needed somewhere close to go have a few beers at. We rarely drink anymore but my father-in-law just passed away and we needed to just unwind after years of caring for him. We got to Oncore at about 3:30 on a Sunday. We found out once we got there that there was no food but the food truck would arrive at 5:00. There was no way we could drink on an empty stomach so we went to a nearby restaurant to eat and came back. We absolutely love beer flights and have done them enough over the years that we know you're gonna love some and hate them. We ordered 7 different ones and only liked 1 of them. We do lean towards the ciders so we ordered the Blackberry & Valencia orange one, the juniper berry & begonia, the apple & blue raspberry, the s'mores, the regular blonde, a red and one other one I can't remember. We knew we were rolling the dice with the begonia and blue raspberry but the others should have been drinkable even if we didn't like them. Overall they were WAY too sweet and overpowering. This coming from a girl that drinks Venti Carmel Macchiatos. I love thick fall beers like vanilla, peanut butter and chocolates but the s'mores smelled & tasted like burnt coffee. My husband and I have VERY different beer tastes so it's usually he likes one and I don't and vice versa but this time we both couldn't find one we liked enough to order. I even tried to convince him to order the more standard beers just to see and he refused bc he didn't want to waste the money. The other thing that was really disappointing was the service. The girl behind the bar was super friendly and nice but the whole process was off putting. When we first walked in she never greeted us. We stood there for a few minutes and finally had to walk up to her and ask how this worked. In order to order you have to go up to the bar to do it. Once our order was ready she yelled over to us to come and get our drinks, There were only 5 other older couples in the entire bar. At that capacity she could have brought them over to us. I worked at a bar and there's no way I would have yelled over at a customer like that. Now on a busy, jam packed night I get it - kinda - but a night like that it made us feel like a nuisance instead of customers on their first visit (which she knew). There were other things that were self serve and it just felt weird. Like I said, maybe on a busy night it would be different but being able to adapt to capacity and creating a good experience is just part of running a bar. The table was incredibly wobbly and so I had my husband ask for napkins to prop it up and she handed him two paper towels. Once we'd tried all of the drinks and were ready to leave we had no idea whether or not we were responsible for bussing the tables too? We were embarrassed that we could barely drink the drinks so we just got up and left. Overall we were pretty disappointed. There's not a lot of options out here so we get used to taking what you get but to have one be a total bust sucked. If they adjusted the sweetness/overpowering flavors and the business model a bit, they'd have the potential to bring in a lot more business.

    We were referred to Oncore Brewing by another craft brewery in our area for the 2023 Ohio Pint Day…read more Bartender was very friendly and easy to interact with. It wasn't very busy on Sunday. We were hoping to get something to eat at Oncore, but the food truck that was supposed to be onsite didn't stay for the entire time they were supposed to. Bartender said the food truck was there less than 2 hours, and they were supposed to have been there for 6 hours. That was a setback. Thankfully, Onncore has a small popcorn machine and it was serve yourself. Very modest interior with a small "gift shop" area along the back wall of the bar. Oncore did offer several games to keep you occupied.

Diverse and friendly crowd; when I was there, my drinking buddies were a family fresh out of church, a couple of broskis from the school, and a couple of black Hipster chicks also from BGSU (I honestly thought, for just a second, that the one girl was Zazie Beetz).

My friend got the Chicken Salad Sliders which came with 3 pretzel bun sliders filled with yummy egg salad and a side option. He chose their chips which were tasty. My husband got the Chicken & Waffles. This was the most expensive but smallest portion. The sandwich itself was good and comes with a side but side options aren't listed on the menu.
