I've given this place many tries and it consistently comes up short of expectations. The beer is good, the food is okay, but the service leaves something to be desired.
Four times I have been disappointed when they've run out of menu items. At 6 pm on a Saturday, I would not expect a brewery to run out of bratwurst and sauerkraut, or tacos on taco night. When they run out of an item, the response is always defensive. I would encourage them to apologize and offer menu alternatives, rather than giving excuses. We were told that Saturday is their last business day until the following Wednesday, so they don't want to make too much and waste food. I would have loved to try crab cakes, but at $45 I think they could serve them with something other than chips and pickle spear. Most food items are moderately priced and they charge a 4.5% surcharge for credit cards. Incidentally, the bartender asked for a card when we ordered our beer and said "just in case". I'm used to opening a tab, but Ive never been pegged for a lack of integrity.
The tag line on their menus and beer list is " where everybody knows your name." All the times we've gone there. Neither my husband or I have been called by our name. Oh well. Cheers! read more
