While on a work trip, my coworker recommended grabbing a beer before dinner. He said he found a…read morenice micro Brewery. He wanted to try. A simple pre-dinner drink turned into one of the most epic nights I've had in years. The most special thing about this micro Brewery is, it actually is a micro Brewery. The owner and Brewer Carey, only bruise enough for the store location. He does not Kang. He does not miss produce it. If you wanna try his amazing beers. The only place you can go is to his establishment. To me, it makes a beer more special, because it's only intended for an intimate audience. And that's why my night was so epic. When we get to the Brewery. We are intrigued by the multiple selections., and the bar keep, was super polite and patient with us as we wanted to try samples of all the beers that intrigued us. Initially our goals just to have one beer and head to dinner. The bartender was super polite and patient with us. We finally decide on a pint and we head upstairs, because the Brewery is actively brewing beer. We wanted to peak in NC anything we could. We end up chatting with Carey, who is in the office. Carey, the owner and head brewer, was nothing but amazingly nice. They ran out of their tiramisu beer. I asked him how he brews such an interesting beer, he offered to give me the recipe. I settled on just a verbal explanation on how he does it. After him telling me his process there's no doubt my mind that this guy is an absolute genius and truly passionate about his micro Brewery and his beers. Carey it's kind enough to explain the history of the building of the Brewery and some of the artifacts that he actually has in the Brewery. I really appreciate the eclectic look in knowing the history behind everything makes it even more special. Green bus brewery is truly a Hometown local bar. Our intended one beer turned into three. And we were socializing with the owner and his patrons. They made us feel like family. They gave us stories about the town about the Brewery. I can understand why people go back on a regular basis. I travel about 70% of the year, and I'm away from home and that feeling is not lost on me. However, last night having a beer at Green bus Brewery, I honestly felt like I was at home thanks to Carey and his wonderful patrons. That is gonna be a night that my coworker and I will remember for a long time. I hope to come back to Huntsville. When I do, I will be sure to visit Green Bus Brewery. If I could give this place 10 stars I would.

The meatballs were meaty and the marinara was tomatoey. The cheese and herbs went together well and the Cole slaw was creamy and vinegary. I wanted to finish the sub but I exercised restraint, knowing I needed a leftover. Overall it was a good experience with good food and beer.

Not bad. Drinkable and enjoyable. Feel kind of pushed aside at the bar. It's different than it used to be. Asgard was more personal. Take that for what it's worth. What was more unnerving was feeling really uneasy about being surrounded by shirts and such that were clearly aligned with anti-American/anti-patriotic virtues than what we've come to respect here in Columbia. We are open to everyone's beliefs but to see "anti-Nazi since 1996" shirts isn't something our large neighborhood groups wants to be around.

I stop everytime I head down south from Nashville, usually working in the side room for half the day so I can avoid rush hour in Nashville. From a beer standpoint, this is one of the top breweries in Tennessee. They are well known nationally, as well. The building is a warehouse looking structure on the outside, but they have nicely decorated the tap room. Ample seating both inside and out and they have bands on some weekends. I have tried the flatbreads, a couple of sandwiches, and the Dinosaur wings (only kidding, but they are the largest chicken wings they can buy, so ample sized). I prefer the wings most of the time - except their rendition of Nashville Hot - but this time opted for a meatball sandwich. If you are trying to be an Italian food afficianado, this might not be in, but the sauce works well with these meatballs and there is ample cheese. As one normally focusing on Keto, adding a fork meant I could eat the kibbles and bits and leave the bun. Two thumbs up. As for the beer, they have some of the best IPAs and I finally tried the porter this go around. Many of their beers are rated above 4.0 on untappd and it is not just a local bump kind of thing. The brewery, as a whole, is 3.92 and also well deserved. To my normal "Will I be back" question, I think the answer is already clear. I do return almost every time I pass by.

Sorority sister and I came to Brewers Cooperative last night in hopes of having dinner and a drink…read more She told me "they had a new chef," so, despite a crappy previous experience, I was willing to try again. Honestly, it looks like this place is going out of business. There was no host or hostess and a sign at the entrance said to "seat yourself and order from the bar." There was one bartender, and maybe four people in line to order from the bartender. This location is really sizeable and was maybe half filled with furnishings (2-tops and 4-tops), a small assortment or merchandise to the right of the entrance, and nearly zero staff or patrons. Sorority sister managed to get a couple of menus and we sat at the bar without being greeted for several minutes before deciding to leave. It's a shame this concept could not execute (everything - food quality, food execution, service, and drinks) better and hopefully, a replacement restaurant will open in this (like I said) really sizeable location in Stovehouse.

It was around 1:45 on a Wednesday, and there were a couple people enjoying a beer or an appetizer but it was mostly slow. This spacious brewery/restaurant boasts a lot of indoor and outdoor seating and a small merchandise/gift shop with branded items and beer, of course. They had the door and a couple of windows open and I thought it was fairly hot inside, but not intolerable. I happened to walk in right behind a party of three. We all sort of milled around at the entrance by a sign that said to wait for a hostess to seat you. Eventually, someone came by and picked up the other party. Not being affiliated with them, I held my place and stood around patiently. After several minutes of waiting, the woman at the bar gave me a sort of funny look and asked me if I was with the group that had been seated a few minutes prior. I told her no and that it was just me and she apologized and said I could sit wherever I liked. I selected a hi-top near the bar and sat down. Since it seemed like waitstaff were supposed to bring menus/take orders, I sat around waiting for a while again. I wasn't in a huge hurry but I did want to get home so I could do some schoolwork and so I pulled up the menu on my phone so I could be prepared to order when someone did get to me. Well, after several more minutes, no one ever did come up to give me a menu or take food/drink order. I was very thirsty from my hot day and so I wandered up to the bar to at least get a soda. The bartender who spoke to me earlier was friendly and personable and apologetic about no one coming out to me. She seemed surprised that I wanted something to eat, but amicably took my order at the bar for the "Ultimate Grilled Cheese," a side of Old Bay fries, and a Diet Pepsi (or Coke...can't remember which). The total before tip was right around $20, which felt...high, but I decided to reserve judgment until I actually saw my food. She went immediately to grab my drink from a fountain and gave it a sort of disapproving look. She said that the soda didn't look right to her but for me to try it and see if it tasted like the ratios were off. They were off (way too much soda water) and she apologized and went to a different machine to try again. The second attempt was fine. My food came out quickly and I was honestly immediately miffed at the size of the serving for the price I paid. Don't get me wrong; I generally think restaurant portion sizes are too large and I have no problems with a smaller meal. However, I do like to think the price would reflect the smaller meal size. I will say the fries were only $2, so that seemed appropriate for the amount I was given, but the sandwich was like $13 and it was the size of a standard grilled cheese I'd make at home. Like, maybe $1.50 worth of ingredients. My meal was about as much as a Mac Melt at Melt costs and that comes with way more fries and macaroni and cheese inside sizeable slices of bread rather than just a wimpy sandwich. Hardly ultimate. The food itself was fine, I guess; at least it didn't taste bad. Extremely standard grilled cheese but executed well. Fries were frozen-fried and you could tell; kind of limp and mealy. The Old Bay seasoning at least was unique and enjoyable. I ate my food in like 10 minutes flat and returned my dish to the bar and was on my way. Not the worst food or service I've ever had, and I suppose I'd give them another try, but I can't say I was terribly impressed on my first visit.

I came here with one of my best friends who was home for Thanksgiving to have a girl's day out. BeeZr advertises a nice-looking brunch on the weekends so we thought we'd try it out. She wound up not being able to meet until later in the afternoon but I'm not opposed to a late brunch, so we got there around 1. It was a gray and dreary day on Thanksgiving weekend, so I get it being slow, but the restaurant was literally empty except for us and the servers. We joked it was because we'd rented the whole building to treat each other. The vibe is...fine inside. It definitely looks and feels more like a brewery than a restaurant, with large equipment and a sort of dimly lit atmosphere and a few large TVs by the nice bar. They have a small patio on the square which is REALLY lovely and definitely would've been my preference if the weather was nicer. Our server was okay. He was soft-spoken and not unpleasant, but did sort of have a knack for appearing at inopportune times during the conversation. I get that it's not always possible to avoid, but a little more discretion would've gone a long way, especially since we were the only ones in there. Our food and drinks came out in a timely manner. My biggest frustration was definitely the menu and item availability. I pre-read it and came knowing what I wanted (bananas foster French toast) only to discover that they were running a limited Thanksgiving weekend brunch menu and therefore it wasn't being offered that day. The first thing my friend ordered also wasn't available. I had my heart set on brunch so I asked for the breakfast burrito instead. Our waiter had to go check and make sure the kitchen could do it. Turns out they could - yay. But then I asked for potatoes to go with it -- and there were no breakfast potatoes available. I went with fries instead. When my burrito arrived at the table, there was no salsa or sour cream, which was supposed to come with it. Any component part of this experience is not a HUGE deal, but it all added up to be rather disappointing. My friend got the bulgogi tacos, which came in an order of two sort of small tacos. She liked them and said they were really good. She also got first a French mimosa and then a classic mimosa; I also had a classic mimosa. Both were generic but enjoyable. My breakfast burrito was decent, but I really missed the salsa and sour cream. The bacon inside was cut into tiny crunchy pieces, which I liked. The eggs were cooked very well but needed more salt and pepper. I enjoyed the bright burst of peppers and some were even a tiny bit spicy. It was a large serving but I wish it came with some side item instead of me having to order one. The side of fries was generous and they were really good -- super crispy but still fluffy inside. I thought the bill was a little high for 1 mimosa, a breakfast burrito, and fries -- almost $40. The burrito alone was $18, which seems like sooooo much for a brunch entree with no sides. Idk. Maybe I don't do mid-scale dining enough. Overall, I thought the quality of the food was solid enough that I'd consider returning, but I'd call ahead to see if they had what I wanted to avoid frustration.

The food, seating environment and view (or course) are really good. Pricing is on the higher end but fair for what you get. So 3 stars for that. The staff that greets and seats you--as well as our waitress--was unfriendly bordering on rude. Just weird. Our local friends state that there are a lot of out-of-state residents living nearby (especially California expats) and they're not well liked. That may be the case, but it appeared that everyone was treated shabbily. Kinda sours the experience. Lastly, there were a lot of flies. I counted 10 at one time near the entrance, kitchen and booth seating. You can see a few on the photo I attached. That really hurts the dining experience. This is a one and done for us.
