We came here with a group of about 35 people to celebrate a friend's birthday. Our group was…read moreordering rounds of drinks and food throughout the night, and while most of the staff were great, unfortunately one staff member really put a damper on the experience. When we arrived, there were a few tables near our group, two of which had reserved signs on them. We mistakenly assumed they were part of our reservation and put our jackets on the chairs. Totally fair that we were wrong, but instead of simply letting us know, this staff member came over and said, "I need everyone to get their shit off the table. This isn't yours." He then very dramatically grabbed cleaner and a cloth, heavily sighing while wiping down tables that we hadn't actually used - we had only put jackets on the chairs. Throughout the night, he repeatedly came back to remind us that the tables weren't ours and told us not to stand too close to them, eventually putting up a rope to section them off. There were several other large groups upstairs, so it already felt unnecessarily hostile for what was clearly just an honest misunderstanding. Later, we had ordered food and were eating and chatting at the table we did have. Without asking if we were finished, he picked up a plate that still had two dumplings on it along with a drink that was about half full and took them away to be dumped. Then, when one of my friends went downstairs to order another drink, the same staff member cut him off before he could even order and said, "I'm only doing beer. If you want a cocktail, you need to find another bartender." I'm not sure if he was the manager, but the attitude throughout the night was incredibly off-putting. We were a large group of paying customers there to celebrate a birthday, regularly ordering food and drinks, yet his interactions consistently made us feel like we were an inconvenience rather than guests. I do want to emphasize that every other bartender and staff member we interacted with was wonderful, friendly, warm, and welcoming. Unfortunately, this one person's behavior was such a consistently negative presence that it really affected the overall experience.

Stepped in here on an early Saturday afternoon, to kill time before brunch. It was completely…read moreempty, but likely because it was early. On the positive side, it's a very spacious bar and I saw board games stacked up, which tells me it can be a fun place to hang out. Now to the not as great. I sat at the bar and after looking at their cocktail menu, I ordered a French 75. You can imagine my surprise when I was served a drink in a single rocks glass which is basically what you'd serve an old fashion or other cocktail in. A French 75 needs to be in a flute. And at first, I thought maybe they don't have any flutes. Which still perplexed me because why have a French 75 on the menu if you don't have the right glassware. But I looked behind the bar and lo and behold, saw a flute. So not sure what that was about. The drink itself was ok. The other weird thing is that when I ordered, she rang it up and handed me the handheld device to pay. Since I was sitting at the bar, I'd expect to at least be asked if I wanted to open a tab or to just wait. Payment before the drink was made just rubbed me different. And of course, gratuity was tacked on, also rubbed me wrong. Because while I planned to tip, adding your own tip automatically to 1 drink is icky.

I had the not-for-vegans Cheddar Brat with Carmelized Onions and side of fries. The brat is on the small side but very flavorful and satisfying with the bretzel bun and stone ground mustard. The Carmelized onions were nice, but not neccessary for flavor. If I were to come back, I would just go for two brats on Bretzel buns and skip the side fries. The fries are natural cut, but likely frozen or double fried, which makes them taste more like oily starch than fried potato. The draft cider was cold and did well outside on the wood slat table with the help of the sturdy coaster. Bonus- dogs can hang with you outside, but need to stay outside while you step inside to order at the bar. Food took about 15min for prep and delivery around 5pm on a Wednesday. Outside seating is sidewalk adjacent without an awning for rain, but a tree can offer some shade.

It seemed like she didn't want to be there and anytime I asked questions about the beer, she had an attitude like I was bothering her. I ordered a flight and I enjoyed the beers. They have some great tasting beers on tap. The music was great, it was a blend of 90's jams. They don't serve food, but they allow you to bring in your own. The decor was simple, felt a bit cold and the vibe was chill. It's a small interesting space, when we arrived it was just us and 2 other small parties. When we left, there was a chaotic stroller party happening in the back. The brewery filled up pretty quick on a Saturday afternoon, with one slow moving angry woman pouring beers, it took awhile to get a beer. If the woman behind the bar had provided better customer service, I might have left a higher scoring review. I really wanted to like this place. Will I be back, probably not.

I also had the Junmai Spritz, recommended by the bartender, made with umami/saki, strawberry, ginger, and seltzer. Described as, "Crisp and refreshing, with subtle umami from sake, bright strawberry fruit, and hint of ginger spice." They also have drinks featuring rye, whiskey, rum, mezcal. Flavors of jalapeño, honey, orange, vanilla and chocolate. They have a HUGE beer list. Most of the menu is Japanese inspired. The bartender was kind, attentive, and very laid back. Other than a couple patrons here and there, I was the only person in there on a Wednesday afternoon. They say it gets busier on weekends. They also have a DJ on weekends, usually playing R&B and hiphop. They played mostly jazz when I was in, and it was very relaxing. I came in for the vibes, but this would be great for a workspace as well.
