    The only challenge was getting there! Even though the restaurant was less than 2 miles from the hotel (as the crow flies?), the directions provided from Yelp/Google maps got us close - but not close enough. We eventually found it and were one of only a couple cars there. Tuesday night in the summer around 6 pm or so. No wait at all - plenty of tables to pick from. We liked the fact the place was relatively empty given the COVID situation and all. There were 3 of us - me, hubby and another coach from the travel team we were there with. They had a bunch of beers to pick from - but I don't drink, so Diet Coke was on the list for me. We got our drinks quickly and then took a look at the menu. I had checked it out ahead of time to make sure there was a salad for me and stuff the guys would like. They guys decided to order meat twinkies for appetizers - mozzarella cheese sticks inside sausage links that were deep fried. 4 came with the order and a salsa-looking dip. I'm told they were delicious. I got the Cobb salad and the guys got wings. They ordered a blend of sauces as they like both hot and BBQ. The timing of the food was good and the drinks were kept filled (I drink a LOT of diet cola). The salad was above expectations - all fresh ingredients. Grilled and cubed chicken, hard boiled egg, avocado, lots of bacon and nice mixed greens (not iceberg lettuce). They had oil and vinegar (balsamic) which was just perfect for the dressing. The wings were not the breaded kind (preferred) and were average size. Orders come in 6's. I ate my hubby's last wing and found it had a nice amount of heat. It was perfectly cooked (deep fried). The prices were quite reasonable - good food but a casual setting. It was perfect after a long day of travel.

    Omgosh this place. Mushroom and Swiss burger and scotch eggs for me most of the time. MEAT TWINKIES....I'M JUST SAYING!!! Get in my belly. The bear has names...I love the Melissa for obvious reasons and today I love Gloria. That girl is salty and lime and amazing! Get your butt in this place. Btw...awesome selfie ops on the outside of the building don't miss the ones on the other side in the alley. SERVICE TOP NOTCH ALWAYS!

    Shrimp taco

    Food was just okay. Probably wouldn't go back. I had the shrimp taco & my husband the fish taco. A bit on the bland side for me. Their vegetable spring roll was surprisingly really good.

    Beer flight

    During the fall festival, we ducked into Damsel to have a drink and was not disappointed. The festivals as crazy busy so this provided a safe haven that was chill. Craft beer flight was interesting and hit the spot.

    tenderloin "sandwich"

    We were in town for just one night, looking for a brewery with food and outdoor seating in the early evening, and found ourselves at Damsel Brew Pub. Under the (COVID-19) circumstances, it did not disappoint. Damsel has outdoor seating on the patio in front of the building, as well as on a cool balcony above. First off: our server was a hot mess, who seemed to be new on the job but familiar with the industry (when we asked about a good place for a nightcap later, she recommended several neighborhood bars at which she also worked.) As soon as she approached our table she asked if we minded if she takes off her mask. I did, I said so, and she left it on. I thought she was perhaps impaired, but hard to say - she was definitely not professional. She knew very little about the menu. When I told her my choice of dressing for my salad, she insisted I try another one instead, then finally settled on giving me both. She overshared about her personal life, and overstepped boundaries when asking about ours (even as she was seating us, she asked if the man with me was "you know, WITH you - wink wink" and commented on what she perceived to be an age difference.) She had to leave unexpectedly before her shift ended, but the owner was quick to apologize and take care of us. I felt like he was aware of her issues and keeping an eye on the situation. The food was pub food - generously portioned, mostly fried, and just fine for accompanying the wonderful beer list. Salads were big, with more meat than greens. The tenderloin sandwich was pretty ridiculous - a thin patty about 8" wide, with a half-inch slab of onion on a standard burger bun. The beer was very good. Other reviews here have detailed brews and styles, so read on for all that :-) I appreciate that the beer list had a good description of each brew, and we tried several as we enjoyed the parkside view and the setting sun. What I found most striking is that this is a new establishment with an already-dated, sexist theme. It opened as Maiden, then the name was changed to Damsel. The whole gendered thing is overdone, and quite frankly feels patronizing and objectifying. Each beer is given a woman's first name - some common names, and some to refer to a celebrity or character. So guys come in and say "I want to try a little Lauren - I hear she's got good head har har" and all... jeez. If the Maiden name was a mistake, how is Damsel - a helpless young virgin, often in distress and needing the aid of a man - any better? If this place really wants to be progressive and cool, they should ditch the whole chick thing. Hire servers not for their hotness but for their ability to show up sober and competent and stay til their shift ends and wear the mask without complaint and not assess my date's looks. And for cryin' out loud, get rid of the modified female symbol as a logo. Please and thank you!

    Stopped in while we were in town. We had expected eat a full lunch and grab a beer. We decided to sit on the patio, as it was a really nice day out. After taking a look at both their beer and food menu, we decided to order only one round of drinks and an order of cheese curds. We weren't really impressed with either menu. I ordered the Sammie, which was a PB&J wheat ale. It was a very interesting beer, that actually tasted like the sandwich. We're both just very hoppy/Juicy IPA drinkers and this brewery was lacking. The cheese curds however, we're amazing. I'm so glad we ordered some.

    Tenderloin with fresh cuts

    I gave it a 4 simply because the service wasn't the greatest. I say that because although the staff were very cordial and polite, they seemed overwhelmed and it wasn't that busy. Our apps came out at the same time as our food so we were a bit disappointed with that but the food over all was amazingly good.

    What a west side treat! We were moving my daughter back to her apartment at USI and wanted to hit some local flavor on our way home. Damsel Brew Pub is not a damsel in distress! The entire experience was top notch (and I am very picky about service)! The vibe was fun and unique. From our booth with an antique door to the one of a kind food selections, this place is a must! The hubs had meat Twinkies-yes, meat Twinkies! It was sausage with cheese oozing out the middle and deep fried! What's not to love? I had the westside chicken complete with Grippo's barbecue seasoned chicken, swiss cheese and pulled pork! Absolutely delicious! Our server and the entire staff interacted with us and we cannot wait to go back!

    Lemon Pepper Dry-rubbed wings.
    Jodie S.

    Cutie brewery/restaurant. Love the decor (Wonder Woman and Cleopatra anyone). I had the dry rub lemon pepper wings, my friend had the pulled pork anchors and we shared an order of cheese curds. The wings were awesome...lemony peppery goodness. The cheese curds were typical fried and squeaky. My friend said the nachos were just okay. The fake nacho cheese does not mix well with the BBQ sauce though the pulled pork was fine. Service was great! Many beers, of course, to try. If you're not here for the alcoholic then let me suggest the sweet tea...very good!

    We were seated and we did not see a server for over 15 minutes. The server finally came to the table we ordered our drinks appetizer and our meal all in one. Appetizers were very good in the mail was well. Our server just did not seem like she wanted to be there tonight.

    Great little place with great service. Lots of brews to enjoy and try. I loved the decor and theme of the place. My bf loved the beers and liked every one he tried (which was several) lol. The server told me their food was excellent and I overheard someone say they had great fish n chips. Idk where these people have been eating but if they think that's good fish n chips they need to get out more. Skip the fish if you go here. Other than the food we ordered the place was great. Oh, wait, I hated the music. It was that scream music. It was terrible. Saving grace is that it wasn't loud and you could still talk. Still would definitely go back and the atmosphere and service was great. When I go back I'll try their burger. The burgers on the menu looked good.
