MANY BREWS TO CHOOSE!…read more Ritual Brewery has got to be the best micro brewery in Redlands! There is so much to like about the brewery, and so much this place has to offer that I can only ask that you experience it yourself. To name a few highlights of the brewery... first of all it is one of the more chill places to go to. The ambiance of Ritual Brewery is casual, friendly, and welcoming. The staff here are all awesome! They have a nice size indoor and outdoor seating area for visitors. They are family and dog friendly. They have a new brew for everyone to discover and enjoy. My personal favorite is the Extra Red. I tried just about their whole menu over some time and at least half-a-dozen visits before deciding which one was my favorite. Moreover, if you walk in looking for a specific kind of beer, you might as well go pick that beer up at the store and stay out. This brewery is a place to experience and appreciate new beers. Many of their beers are IPAs, Ales, Pale Ales, and Blondes. Check out the picture of their menu to get a better idea of all that they have. Not to mention, they have very reasonable prices for their drinks compared to probably most breweries - so don't be a Sorry Sue and complain about how the prices for a beer is expensive and that only the soda is good - but you had the nerve to visit 10 times. Oh! Also, there is often an excellent food vendor there most nights, so you can get a meal with your drink. CHEERS!

Calling all brewery lovers + foodies! This place is the…read morespot! Great beer selection + awesome N/A selection. It's dog & family friendly. There's so many photo ops & the decor is just so cool & cute. The service was 10/10 I believe it was the owner who helped us out & he was super helpful & friendly. There's a really cool photo booth inside that we were so stoked to have discovered. I'm still dreaming of my get shorty pizza. Def stop by & check them out.

Every time I'm in Redlands, Escape Craft Brewery at 440 Oriental Ave is a must-stop. It's become my…read morereliable go-to--welcoming, consistent, and always fantastic. The ambiance is perfect: relaxed and vibrant with a great local brewery feel. I'm especially happy it's dog-friendly, so I can easily bring my pup along. Even though I don't like beer, I still love coming here because they have something for everyone--excellent food, a welcoming space, and a fun atmosphere that makes it enjoyable no matter what you drink. Service is warm and knowledgeable, and the food is outstanding: delicious pizzas, their creamy artichoke dip, and tasty starters that pair perfectly with whatever you order. Escape Craft never disappoints. Highly recommend--can't wait to return!

Hey Brian, I wanted…read moreto reach out about something that happened tonight that I feel you should know about. I also want to be clear that all of this transpired after you had already left for the evening. For context, I'm a regular at the bar and have been coming in for quite a while. I've never had a major issue with Brent or Steven, even though they both have personalities that can come across as sarcastic or abrasive. I've generally let it go because my reason for coming to the bar is simple: I come in to have a few beers, relax, and enjoy myself. Tonight, while I was still drinking one of my beers and had some left in the glass, Brent came by and took it away as if I was finished. I jokingly said something along the lines of, "I guess you're not going to let me finish the last bit." I wasn't upset and wasn't trying to start an argument. It was an obvious mistake that could have been solved with a simple apology. Instead, he responded with a snarky comment rather than acknowledging the mistake. Later, he brought another beer to my table. I made eye contact with him and before I could even say anything, he asked, "Do you want to say something to me?" I replied, "No, I just wanted to say thank you." His response was, "Your eyes are telling me differently." Again, I found that unnecessarily confrontational and disrespectful. At that point, I decided to leave a $0 tip. I normally tip very well, often around 30% or more, and this was the first time I've intentionally left no tip because I wanted to send a message that I was unhappy with the way I was being treated. After that, Steven came over and confronted me about leaving no tip. He asked if I was really zeroing it out and questioned me about whether something had happened between me and Brent. I told him that whatever issue I had was not his concern, and he responded, "Fair enough." I assumed that would be the end of it. Instead, Brent came outside and confronted me. He told me Steven had said I had a problem with him. I explained that I didn't have a personal problem with him; my issue was his attitude and the way he was treating me as a customer. Rather than listening, he became increasingly hostile. I reminded him that I'm a customer and that I'm only there to buy beer from the business. I'm not there to deal with sarcasm, attitude, or an employee's emotions. As a paying customer, the minimum I expect is basic respect. I shouldn't have to walk on eggshells or accept being spoken to disrespectfully while simply trying to enjoy a beer. That confrontation ended poorly and he went back inside. A short time later, he came back out and confronted me again, this time in front of other customers. The situation became even more uncomfortable because it was happening publicly. During that exchange, he ultimately told me that I was not welcome back. Again, I reminded him that I am a paying customer whose only purpose in being there is to support the business and enjoy a beer. I should not be getting into arguments with employees, being confronted in front of other patrons, or being told I'm not welcome because I expressed concerns about how I was being treated. The bigger issue is that, in my opinion, this isn't just about tonight. This has been months in the making. I've noticed a pattern with both Brent and Steven where they seem to have become comfortable treating customers with attitude and sarcasm in ways that shouldn't be acceptable in a customer-facing role. I've overlooked it many times because I enjoy the bar and didn't think it was worth making an issue out of. On the other hand, employees like Kim, Josh, and David have always treated me and other customers with professionalism and respect. They know how to joke around while still making customers feel welcome. I've never had an issue with them. From my perspective, the problem is specifically Brent and, to a lesser extent, Steven. Brent especially has developed a demeanor that I find unwelcoming, confrontational, and disrespectful toward customers. I don't think I'm the only person who feels this way. Tonight was simply the point where it crossed a line. I'm not sending this because I want anyone fired or punished. I simply think you should know what happened, especially since it all occurred after you had left. I've spent a lot of time and money at your establishment over the years, and I would hope that customers--especially regulars--can expect basic courtesy and respect from the people serving them. I wanted to give you my side of the story directly. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Like the names suggests, this spot is a smallish room that serves craft beer. They also have a…read morecouple of televisions inside so you can drink while watching whatever game they have on. The folks/beertenders were very friendly and you can tell they're enthusiastic about craft beer and the craft beer community. I've only visited once, but I've been told that they regularly rotate out their taps and have cans of local and not so local breweries for sale out of the fridge. At the time of my visit, I noticed some cans from some of my favorite breweries in the LA and SD area. The place feels like a craft beer oasis in that it's a bit of a destination and I'm not sure what else is around. Although, to be fair, I don't live in the immediate area and don't really know the area that well in terms of craft beer offerings. Definitely a spot I would like to frequent. There seemed to be plenty parking when I went. Not sure if it get's really crowded when some more of the surrounding businesses are open, but I had plenty of spaces to chose from.

The meat was fresh, thick, and generously sliced, which made everything taste even better. The sauces were also really good and packed with flavor, especially the house garlic sauce -- super unique, strong, and delicious. Service was fast, friendly, and attentive the whole time. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be coming back again

Good environment, good service and good food…read more The host was friendly and efficient. We didn't have to wait long before being seated. Our waitress was nice and attentive. We didn't have to wait too long before our food came out. The sprite was a little off and 2 of us had ordered it - but a couple of those in our group have been here before and have dealt with this so maybe it's just how it's stored? Not flat but something is off from regular sprite. But they were nice about taking it back and not charging us. A few in the group have been here before and haven't had the best experiences but we all enjoyed this past visit together. I'd be back!

We were greeted and seated, we were amused when bf asked for a table to view UFC, and our host said they don't play UFC because they don't show violent sports. We later thought, that was funny because what about football? Surely they show football and that is certainly a violent sport if there ever was one. As for food and drinks, mine was fine. I had the red sangria, which is huge and yummy. I also had the poke nachos, which was also very good. Bf had a burger, ordered medium temp, but it came well done. He also had a Caesar's salad, which was served to him in a kind of a rude manner by a female server. She just mumbled what it was and curtly set it on the table and whisked away. I know the staff is busy, but attention to manner should not be hard. Our waiter was great, attentive. I think September's is best for going to with another couple or a bunch of friends. I would rather go to RPM if it was a date.

The quality of food was fresh, prepared just right, and the service was fast and welcoming. It's in the nice down town Redlands area so never too busy or loud, in the small city.
