a glass of beer
Kerry B.

If you like craft beer and bottle shops, you will love the Casual Pint. To start, they have an awesome selection of local craft beer. You can get a good idea of the beer in the region by coming here. On draft, they were heavy on IPAs, stouts, and sours. They also had porters, pilsners, lagers, and a cider on draft. No Belgians, though, which made me sad, but they did have a lonely Hefeweizen. It is like a sports bar so there are plenty of TVs to watch sports. There is both a bar area and a seating area with tables. There is also an outside patio. On my visit, it was way too cold to be sitting outside. There are games to play here, mostly board games. They have a list of events, so if you are planning to visit during the week, you may want to visit their website to see what the happenings are. What I was really impressed by is their awesome selection of cans and bottles. And when I say awesome, I mean awesome. So many local craft beer delicacies. They also have food, I tried the chicken quesadilla with bacon for $1 extra. It was good. Came with salsa and sour cream. The salsa was both spicy and delicious. I enjoyed the salsa the most. Since I am going to be in the area for a while, I am going to try and frequent the Casual Pint. As far as a beer venue, the Casual Pint exceeds all my needs.

Games while drinking are the best!

This place is our vibe! The staff is always nice and always helps with our drink choices. We have come a couple times and every time is just great! They have games, karaoke, music and sometimes just chill, depending when you come. Oh, we love the egg rolls here! Highly recommend you come on a Friday night!

We attended a Drag Queen brunch here and had the best time. For such a small space lots of entertainment was accomplished. This is not a regular thing, perhaps just an occasional event. The performers were AMAZING! The ladies definitely know how to work a crowd. My fav part was the Q&A and let's be honest, all the performances. The only negative was the food. It was a small buffet on the patio which included some fruit, pastries and breakfast food with some horrible meatball and chicken nugget pieces (I swear those were not full nuggets). However the mimosas were delicious. We grabbed a pitcher and had a buzz quickly. Enough so that we did some drunk HomeGoods and Target shopping afterwards. Pro Tip: come early to the show so you get a good seat at the middle table or the bar.

the Casual Pint is a small bar/restaurant located in Rivergate shopping center. Relatively small location with a long bar, and a small bit of seating. There is also a small retail area with a shelving area with warm and cold beer. The beer selection is terrific for such a small location, they have 35 taps all of which are occupied with craft beer. A lot of local offerings as well. I believe they also have a couple of taps with wine. They have food, but I haven't ordered any on any of my visits. The staff has always been friendly and attentive. Overall I really enjoy this place, and will be back any time I am in the area.

Selection of Porters and Stouts including a French Toast stout that tasted like maple syrup!

We've been several times now and absolutely love the Casual Pint! They always have fun seasonal and staple beers on tap (you can get bottle or growlers too) and it's a relaxed atmosphere! Jess our waitress was amazing! She was super personable, recommended great drink options and made our whole experience stellar. Highly recommend popping by for a drink and some standard pub food. The 10 inch pretzel and beer cheese was fantastic.

Pretty nice location to come grab a beer after doing some shopping or just to meet up for a quick drink with friends. They have a really nice beer list along with a couple of wines. I also like that they have food as well. I opted for some chicken tenders and fries during my visit. They weren't the best but they also were the worst I've ever had before. I would definitely go back for a visit if I'm in the area.

The Casual Pint in Steele Creek
Bruce K.

Beer is a good thing (their tshirts on sale quote Benjamin Franklin's "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." and other similar sentiments.) and The Casual Pint has it in spades. Thirty-six taps and a cooler with hundreds more making them the best bottle shop in Steele Creek. The staff really seems to know the beers. I watched one young lady recommend and provide samples to a couple. Friendly and with a nice laugh, she was trying hard to find one they liked. They have their own kitchen (menu includes wings, pretzels, flatbreads, salads and bratwursts) and they also have a list of places on their website that deliver.

For beer, this place is a solid 4 star. The food is acceptable but underwhelming. If you are hungry, have a few brews before eating.

They have indoor and outdoor seating. The entranceway is so wide open that's sitting inside was like sitting outside. It was a beautiful night weatherwise. Obviously known for their options of beers, my colleague got a flight of four IPAs and I went with a bourbon old-fashioned. He enjoyed all four of his beers saying that the east was his favorite. Though my drink was to be an old-fashioned, they did not have any fruit, nothing to muddle, and no sugar. Understanding that this is not a cocktail bar, but a craft beer house, don't advertise an old-fashioned unless you have all the ingredients necessary to make one. The light snack we had was the pretzel. It came out quick and warm. It came with two types of sauces. There was a beer, cheese sauce, and a mustard sauce. Both perfect for dipping the pretzel into. The staff was super friendly and frequently came by to check in on things.

It looked cozy and inviting and we were fancying a night cap, so in we went. As their name implies they are located by the train tracks and specialize in craft beer as both a bottle shop and a tap room. They have a large number of rotating taps with a variety of different beers. Inside they have a number of games along with couches and a variety of comfy seating. We pulled up a stool at the bar which was also pretty full. It definitely feels like a regular neighborhood hangout. The servers had a lot of great recommendations from their tap list and clearly enjoy what they do. It is definitely first and foremost dedicated to craft beer so if it isn't your thing it may not be your favorite place. Me myself I enjoyed my time and if I lived in the area I would likely stop in regularly. If you find yourself in the area I recommend stopping in to check out their draft list. Even if you don't find your favorite beer you'll have friendly service and some nice people watching.

The German biers are some of the best I've tried. Both the Cooper altbier and Hornets Nest were excellent while their porter was a little too heavy for me. There's a full bar for the non beer drinkers . OMB features a huge selection of food items including German classics like pork schnitzel, wursts and the Bavarian or classic Jumbo pretzels. I'd recommend the sampler plate with the Jalapeño Cheddar Bratwurst as one choice ( you get three) and Jumbo Pretzel with Cooper Bier cheese & Düsseldorf mustard. The sides, such as their German potato salad, red cabbage and sauerkraut are very good. In addition theres a good selection of sandwiches, burgers, salads to choose from. The outside venue is amazing with ample outside seating featuring a fire pit, corn hole ( collect bags at the bar), children's playground and a water station for pets. Overall a great place to grab a beer and enjoy some authentic German style food at reasonable pricing. In addition OMB features private rooms for special events. One note parking could be problematic when it gets busy on weekends or special occasions but if you're willing to walk you'll find parking somewhere .
