This is a new brewery that opened up in the old Famoso location of WEM. I never thought I would see that place go!
FU has a new sign on the front which is pretty awesome - love their logo! Otherwise, it hasn't really changed from Famoso. The interior is the same, including the very large oven! Maybe pizza is somewhere in their future.
Service was pretty good. Our server forgot a few things, but she made up for it by having a very sweet personality. We were only one of two tables... on St. Patrick's Day! I hope they can get more business.
Their beer is awesome, which is the highlight. And a good thing too, since they're a brewery. We tried the Cossack Imperial Stout, Naughty Amber, and Last Call Blonde. I thought they were all good, but the Stout definitely stood out as the best! If I were to recommend a beer from here it would be the Stout.
The food was OK. I had the veggie burger and my partner had fish and chips. We also tried the mozza sticks. Nothing to write home about, but not awful! Typical bar food. The mozza sticks were obviously the best because you can't really mess them up. I think with some work the food could be great. We will see, these are still early days. I would definitely encourage this place to work on their food though because while the beer is good, the food will drive people away. People want to eat and drink at the same time and if the food isn't great, they won't return.
Enjoy the beer if you do go! I'm looking forward to re-reviewing in a few months. read more
