Chilly Water Taproom sits side-by-side to Hoagies & Hops on the corner of 42nd and Boulevard Place. Super easy to find if you turn North off of 38th Street onto Boulevard Place (the cross street running along Crown Hill Cemetery). Street parking is available on 42nd Street and Boulevard Place in a residential neighborhood.
Chilly Water is a small taproom with a decent size bar, three regular height 4-top tables and 4 or 5 tall-top tables along with a flat screen TV over the bar. The decor is fun with their Brewery awards lining the walls from their accomplishments. They were even adding to the wall decor while we were visiting.
Their beer is brewed at the Chilly Water location in Fountain Square. 10 beers are on draft with carry out offered in Growlers, Bullets and Prowler containers. Flander's Red Ale and English Brown Ale are coming soon.
The bartender was nice and explained how their layout works. You see the taproom is separated by a partial wall from scrumptious Hoagies & Hops. Basically, the ordering is easy, order food and sodas from Hoagies & Hops counter (they'll deliver either side) and order alcohol from the bartender at Chilly Water. If you're 21 or older then you can sit in the bar or grab a beer and sit on Hoagies & Hops side which is family friendly. As long as your 21 or over you can hang out in the bar with or without Hoagies food. After you've ordered food you'll be given a number and they'll bring your meal to you on either side. Service and delivery is fast regardless of which side your on. Get in and out fast if need be for lunch hour or in a hurry.
Beer specials run Tuesday through Thursday. Tuesday is $4 Pints of Built to Last, Wednesday is $4 Any Draft and $7 Growlers then on Thursday's are $4 Pints of Blood on the Tracks.
Roll in between 3:00 - 4:00 on Tuesday through Friday and get a $1 off Hoagies and Cheesesteaks. Wednesday is $2 off Half-size cheesesteaks, Chicken or Little It's Veggie sandwiches. Double up on your beer and sandwich savings during the week!
Oh, and Hoagies & Hops offer 10% off for our Hero's. Just show your ID or Badge when ordering if you're Miltary, Fire Fighter or a Police Officer. Thank you for your service!!
We really enjoyed the friendly bartender, great beer, terrific service, the laid-back atmosphere and amazing food (hoagies, cheesesteaks, hot dogs and fries in our case) from Hoagies and Hops. We're already discussing our next visit. Stop in! You won't be disappointed. read more
