Great Atmosphere!…read more Walked in and were greeted by the bartender and one of the guys at the bar. They made us feel at home instantly! Still a relatively new brewery, so still getting going with regard to their own specialty drafts, but they feature other local flavors, so there are good options. The brewery itself is pretty spacious. Love the area that has a couple love seats next to a fire place and a bunch of board games that are there to help pass the time. Pool table in the back of the brewery and three tv's all playing college football games. Prices are good, and they had a couple things we liked. The person at the bar had cooked game day treats and shared his smoked pork belly with us (so good!). These guys look to have a long successful run in this business with the quality customer service they provide. Really impressed and look forward to coming back and sampling new brews when they have them.

That person sold fried fish and chicken with chips it was ok. I think some pizzas would be great. Plenty of beer to choose from their house menu. They have some wine and canned sodas.

We have loved their Blood Orange Berliner Weisse for years and have always said we needed to make it to the brewery. Today was the perfect chance. It was a Sunday afternoon, and luckily, they were open. There were just a few people, but as they day progressed, more trickled in. Michelle, the beertender, at the time was great. She suggested all sorts of beers based on my taste and let me sample them all. One suggestion she had was to mix the Mango with the Blood Orange. It was really good. The two that I ended up drinking were the Duck River Dunkel and the ISB English Ale. I also liked that they had pretzels and popcorn as bar snacks. We met some really nice people and talked for a while. It reminded me of the old summer days when everyone would just sit and talk and enjoy life. It sure beat the fast-paced and scheduled life that goes on today.

Seriously tough call on the rating here. I think I'll settle on a 3 but it was super close to a 4,…read morejust several minor frustrations added up. 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.

I try not to judge a book by its cover, but I was skeptical to mix the Gobble N' Guzzle (dark lager) with a poor attempt at poutine. However, I was feeling it that day and went ahead at the confirmation of the bartender that the poutine was "pretty good" (insert skepticism). The exec chef indeed knows what he is doing. What I was greeted with was a heaping helping of crispy, skin-on fries, REAL cheese curds (not just melted BS cheese), and a thick/umami-loaded gravy that was crafted with love and all the right flavors and aromatics. The end result was a savory symphony that would give way to the dark ale as it washed the fat and flavor from my palate for me to take a breather before the next forkful (or 4... maybe more). The beer is also good (since it IS a brewery)... but that portion of the reputation precedes itself. Ranging from their flagship IPA to the dark lager I had, to the crisp pilsner, they boast a wide variety of beers that anyone who enjoys beer can find something to savor while ideally shoveling this totally legit Canadian treasure (the OG MTL style was my choice) into their gullet. I'LL BE BACK (in Arnold's voice of course)... sooner rather than later ideally. If you are looking for a beer destination with food to match, Straight to Ale will not disappoint. They have all the beers and upscale bar eats you could want. I give my seal of approval to this former school-turned culinary and culture hot spot. It's nice to see space repurposed or renovated to meet the needs and wants of the surrounding area, and they nailed it with STA.

Beers and food for lunch…read more Great choice got there at 1230 on Saturday, perfect time before the crowd built up. Sat and bar outside on a nice day. Had the monkeynaut amongst other beers and it was the best of the batch. For lunch I wanted a pork kimchi and chicken jerk. They won't split it, but I was with someone so we ordered and spilt the tacos. The pork kimchi was the better of the two. The pork was tender, well seasoned and had a good hint of spice from the jalapeno and kimchi. The jerk chicken was ok, the chicken was a tad on the dry side and it could have used a little heat. Cool place.

Unfortunately, our experience here fell pretty flat compared to everywhere else we visited. Right from the start, the service felt noticeably different for us than for other customers. We ordered four beers, but the bartender only served three. When we mentioned the missing drink, she insisted we hadn't ordered a fourth instead of simply double-checking or acknowledging she might have missed it. Only after we asked again did she pour it--no apology, no "my mistake," nothing. To make things even stranger, the Hefeweizen we ordered came in what looked like an 8 oz glass, which seemed off compared to what others were receiving. And while serving it, the bartender proceeded to talk about us to a man sitting at the bar--loud enough that it was pretty clear we were the topic. It was uncomfortable and honestly pretty disappointing. There was no warmth, no welcome, and absolutely no effort to make the experience enjoyable for us, even though we could see other customers being treated far more kindly. We really wanted to like this place, especially since it was recommended by family, but the service left us feeling singled out and unwelcome. Hopefully this was an off day, but based on our visit, we won't be rushing back.

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.

2.5 really cause the food tasted okay, but I dunno, this was such an underwhelming experience…read more Came here by myself after a long hot day of work about two weeks ago. 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.

On the patio that we walked past to get to the inside was a live band playing, and there were a ton of cute dogs all over with their owners enjoying the music. It was the cutest sight. Inside there are 2 sections of the brewery, but they had the front closed so we couldn't use the back smaller part. I liked the small part to be honest with you. It wasn't super small, but it was much more quaint looking. Service was super friendly, offering us a samples of anything that we would like to try, but of course, we ultimately got a flight. Luckily for me , they also had the Lions game on so I was able to see the end of the game and our victory. They do have food on their menus, and I can definitely see us returning it to this location when we're in Chattanooga again.

We got the Bird Watcher Kellerbier and Sunblaze American IPA -- both were fine. We also got the Mission-style burrito with al pastor ($11), as a Super Burrito ($2 upcharge for sour cream and avocado). This was the worst burrito I've had in a long time. Al pastor should be a balance of sweet and spicy; this was overpoweringly sweet. The side salsas had no heat, either. Mission-style burritos are known for their size, but this was a normal burrito, smaller than I would get at Chipotle. It took about 20 minutes to get the burrito which was too long.
