    I came here with family for drinks. There's a good selection of beer and food. We really liked the…read morepretzel sticks. The service was good, and the space is nicely decorated. The only issue was that we came on a Saturday evening, and the music was very loud with a strong bass. Our hearts were thumping from the vibrations! Haha.

    Mutant brewery is a local casual pubesque bar in the heart of downtown. I've been here pretty often…read morew friends. Tons of events and trivia in their schedule for folks looking for a night out on weekdays or weekends. The interior is mildly psychedelic with music. The food was fine. We got the burger and nachos. I was between giving 3 and 4 stars. Service was slow but the venue was busy, there was an event, and the night crew was picking up when we were there. The buffalo chicken nachos were fine. We appreciated the crispiness of the tortilla chips and the excellent cheese sauce that was well-distributed on the chips. There was tomato among other veggies that I do not remember. The chicken was fine for me on a cut. However, it had the texture of boiled chicken which I wasn't a huge fan of. Still had to get my protein in. I really enjoyed the burger. The bun was a soft potato roll. The patty was a little cooler. Between a cold burger and soggy nachos I certainly would choose the cool burger. This was made up for with the large volume of burger that was deliciously crispy. The pickles accompanied the burger with a secret mayo-based burger sauce. If warm, it could be a 5/5 burger. Overall, the experience was fine. I would go here on a week day rather than 6 on Friday, though.

    UPDATE: The owner mentioned below was professional and kind enough to reach out in an attempt to…read moremake things right. He asked us to give him a second chance, and we were willing to do so. We stopped by and had a great conversation - turns out it was largely a misunderstanding but he was still more than willing to self-reflect, apologize and let us know that we were always welcome here. He also let us know that one of their goals as a business is to be open and welcoming to EVERYBODY. They definitely proved that to be true this time around and we've definitely found our new place to walk to and bring our friends! While we had a FANTASTIC experience our first time here, when we came back around 5pm this past Monday (7/26/2021), it was the complete opposite. We sat at the bar, had some delicious beer, and the bartender was lovely. Then one of the owners came behind the bar and started chatting with a man two seats down from my fiancée and I. They started spouting off about a whole host of controversial topics quite loudly, but what really killed the vibe was when the owner said "those f***ing f***ots" loud enough for the whole bar to hear. My fiancée and I are a queer couple and felt very uncomfortable and unwelcome.

    If you're super-organized, Seven Sirens Bethlehem is a decent value, but don't expect the level of…read moreservice you see at The Blendery in Easton. Our 100 guests brought in huge bar revenue on a holiday weekend while keeping the space open to the public, yet we felt like an unwanted burden. Bait-and-Switch Pricing: I laid out a very basic party plan that was much more like a birthday than a wedding, and Rob gave me a quote. Hours after agreeing to the price and securing our date, he called back claiming his "partner" said they couldn't do a "wedding" for that price, raising it by several hundred dollars with no other explanation or change in my basic plan. Nickel-and-Diming: Rob initially pitched add-ons like a chocolate fountain and a coffee bar - I loved both ideas until it turned out they'd cost more than my caterer charged for our whole dinner service. In hindsight, I have no idea where he would have even put these in the space we were given. He also wanted to charge $150 to set out 10 centerpieces, $150 for servers, and extra fees for tables he wasn't even sure if he had. I declined and found help with these things elsewhere. Lost Payments (DO NOT PAY CASH): I dropped off my 50% deposit check on June 25 (cleared July 1). Rob confirmed by text that he had received it. On Aug 10, Rob texted (in the same text thread) asking if I had ever paid a deposit or sent the contract. I had to text him a photo of the cleared check because he also forgot the amount. Ignored Messages & Sarcasm: A week before the wedding, Rob read my FB message and texts across two days with zero response. I had to ask my DJ to nudge him (they're friends). When Rob finally called back, he was sarcastic and hid behind being "off." A simple "I'm off, I'll call Friday" would have sufficed. Music Caps: Rob wasn't sure he could accommodate my request to play some Greek music for my family between dinner and the DJ starting, claiming it "impeded normal operations." When he finally agreed, he capped it to 15 minutes. If you've ever been to Seven Sirens on a Saturday evening, you know there's never much going on before 8pm; not sure why this was even an issue when I was renting out the space and providing a normal DJ & karaoke for the remainder of everyone's entertainment. Dirty Venue: When I arrived to decorate a couple hours before the reception, the tables and seats were dirty. I had to wipe them down myself (in my wedding hair & makeup) and remove a messy extension cord left across the booths where my guests would be eating. They also failed to set up our 4 catering tables. The poor single bartender on duty was completely uninformed and had to haul heavy tables out by herself. Mid-Reception Interruptions: The first time I ever met Rob was while I was trying to enjoy dinner with my guests. He interrupted to say I could play my Greek music after all because--exactly as I'd predicted--there were no outside patrons there anyway. By then, dealing with music logistics wasn't something I wanted to manage mid-reception, and so I said 'forget it.' He also asked how I was going to pay the remaining balance, and I had to inform him that his bar manager already received my check the night before. The Bright Spots: Bar Staff: The bar manager, Sam, and the bartenders were fantastic and kept the many tabs for all our guests very well-managed. We're still trying to figure out how one couple ended up with a $400 tab for only two of them, but we think they stuck to their signage that you'll buy the bar a round if you don't close your tab before you leave (they returned to retrieve their forgotten credit card the next day). DJ Dave Waldron: Their preferred DJ was amazing and made our party a fantastic time. Bottom Line: Management misplaces financial records, leaves the space dirty, dumps setup on single bar staff, and nickel-and-dimes clients. I have screenshots and photos to back up my statements if management wants to try and dispute this review. Look elsewhere in the Lehigh Valley if you want a stress-free event that you don't have to micromanage.

    So, because of New Jersey's brewery laws, we ordered from this place and took it to this place…read more The beer? Excellent. We had the Oktoberfest, and it was really good. This is a place worthy of visiting again.

    There are certain characteristics of a good brewery:…read more - Plenty of room, lots of seating inside and out - Clean bathrooms - Good parking situation - Friendly staff - Plenty of beers in cans that can be bought to go - Cool merch - A wide variety of beer - Excellent beer - Dog friendly That last one may not be on everyone's list, but I love dogs and love seeing them at breweries. Czig Meister hit everything on my list. My girlfriend and I visited on a late Saturday afternoon in September and it was pleasantly crowded so the atmosphere was nice but not crowded to the point where it was obnoxious and hard to order beers. The building itself is a repurposed carriage house from the early 1900's, lending the operation an air of historical, progressive-era American ingenuity and quality. I loved the beer. We tried several beers in the few hours we spent there, and everything we tried was a perfect rendition of its style. Favorites were the Prospector (amber ale), the Lawman Sweet Justice (Hefeweizen with peach and cinnamon), and the Boom Haka Rakau (New England IPA). Another good indicator of a quality brewery? When I'm inspired to buy the beer to go and bring it back home. We bought a pint glass and two four packs to bring home with us, and look forward to enjoying them soon.
