    Raspberry Champagne Cake - Sun King Brewery
    Karen C.

    Great place hidden in a small plaza. We were quickly greeted by two servers when we entered. We chose to sit at the bar since we were only planning to have a drink and an appetizer. We had the jalapeño poppers with pimento cheese and wrapped in prosciutto. I can say we were slightly disappointed. The jalapeños were barely warm and the prosciutto wasn't cooked. They just weren't very flavorful and weren't what we expected. However, the folks next to us had a burger and they looked amazing. Next time we go, we'll definitely try one of their burgers! We loved the great variety of beers. The bar tender let us sample a couple to help us make a decision.

    Finally made it to the Lazy Manatee. Their burger was really good and the chips are addictive. They have a nice selection of beers on tap and I'll n cans. They also have a variety of craft sodas in bottles. They have a nice lounge area and a kids play area that they play kids shows on if requested. My son loved watching Bluey while eating his dinner. Servers were very attentive and helpful. My husband was happy they have a poker night too! We will be back!

    Stooped in tonight for a couple of beers. The tap list just never disappoints plus conversation with the locals is always fun!

    Pretzel with beer cheese and mustard. Huge!

    Cute little spot for Arlington, modern, clean- including a kid corner towards the back. Bar or tables, your pick. Draft beer and soda. Food is just enough for a quick spot to hang. Will be back again!

    Pulling up I wasn't sure what to expect. Walking in, the atmosphere was very welcoming. The wait staff were very friendly and helpful, The beer list was extensive, and the food was very good. I got the PHX nachos and they were a LOT. Don't get me wrong, they were delicious, but when they say shareable, they are not joking. Even on a good night after a 24 hour fast and adoption of a pet tapeworm, I'd have never been able to finish them on my own.

    Nachos were great.

    Great new spot and addition to Arlington! Glad to have them here, and the Nachos were great.

    Beer Tap Menu

    New Restaurant and Tap Room in Arlington! Just had their soft opening last night. We had a group of 7 tonight and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. Decor is unique. 2-sides: one side is library/living rooms casual with comfortable seating in a cozy area. Other side is bar with many tables for a couple or a group, and cool play area for kids. Very kid and family friendly. Tons of beers on tap as well as a variety of wine and ciders. The menu is small, but offers a variety of Delicious appetizers, handheld food and flatbread. All excellent quality and a perfect compliment to the vast beer menu. As this place becomes known, I believe it will grow a following. We will certainly be back.

I was pleasantly surprised to see they had a full bar with liquor as well as all the bar taps. Tons of friendly staff to explain the lay of the land and how the self serve bar taps work. I liked how the taps were organized by type of beer and they always identified the local brews with "904" above the tap. Also liked the extra touches like offering chilled glasses and free soda refills. Didnt order any food, but most patrons did seem to be eating. Enjoyed the different seating options, including a more chill lounge experience with couches upstairs. Decent amount of tvs to watch sports. Bar tab seemed a little steep considering you serve yourself, but I get that is how they probably are able to have so many brews at one time. If I happen to be downtown I will for sure visit again!

    Ugh, I hate, hate to leave bad reviews, and I leave them so very sparingly because I know the…read moremajority of them can be over zealous and unwarranted. With that being said... Last night a group of friends and I came here to celebrate a birthday. Nothing big or fancy, just wanted a good time with good people, with plenty of food and drinks. - The Taps System - Upon using the tap systems, between my husband and I more than 4 taps we're emptied, but we were still charged 2oz - 4oz pours... even if nothing but foam came out. There was even one instance where my husband was charged for a 4oz pour before he even touched the handle. - The Food - My husband and I only ordered the chip duo (comes with queso and salsa). You can tell the salsa IS made fresh in house, but it was extremely sweet, almost like a ketchup sweet but not the same consistency. It really needed some extra seasoning blends in it. The queso was good. I enjoyed that, but nothing too special about it, but good. A friend of ours ordered a burger, and after waiting 20 minutes for it, he was told he never placed the order for it. He pulled his phone out, showed where his payment had gone through and order was submitted, and then come to find out, the kitchen so.ehow didn't receive the order or his ticket got lost in the process along the way... so he never got food. Frustrating. Another person at our table ordered a special made drink from the bar, and after waiting 20 minutes for it had to ask about it and what happened. Then a couple minutes later two came to the table, she let them know she only ordered one, so they took the second one they goofed on making. - Service - I forget her name. She said multiple times she was new and had only just started. Bright, bubbly, energetic, and full of charisma. She is the reason this isn't a 1 star TBH. She was an absolute delight and wonderful to have serving and assisting us. I wish I remember her name, but she had wavy/curly hair and a sunny little finesse to her we all enjoyed. She was your saving grace last night for all of us. I hate to say, but after the multiple mishaps, we probably won't return. The atmosphere and space are great and beautiful, but the many failures in different aspects really made it feel like it wasn't a one off thing. When we reviewed our receipt at home, we noticed that a lot of the overcharges from the empty taps were not removed, and in this economy, that really sucks.

We'd been here before but only once prior to a Michael Jackson event at Painting With A Twist nearby. First, let me say that I made my beer choice on name alone. It ended up being a great sour red though, so I'm not mad at it. Humor goes a long way with me though, so even if it wasn't great I would've dealt with it on name alone: Cherry Busey! We only hung out for a little bit (again, we need to get home for dinner) but it would he very easy to stay for longer. You can see from the photos that they have a ton...and I mean a ton of craft beers. In addition to that, they have a big room with lots of room to kick back. Our night was delayed shortly when my wife decided to take on one of those wooden barrel puzzle. You can see her dismay in the picture of us! We both took a crack at it for a while and never did solve it, but we eventually decided we needed to let it go. You win this time wooden barrel puzzle! One other thing to note is that there's parking behind it. So if you decide to go there, don't be intimidated by what looks like street only parking. Go around behind the place and you'll be all set.

    String Sports Brewery is, at first glance, a brewery. But spend a few minutes inside and you'll…read morerealize it's also a quiet tribute to basketball culture, local loyalty, and unexpectedly onion ring excellence. I arrived unaware of its history, but the owner's love for basketball is unmistakable, and the locals reflect that same devotion... not just to the sport, but to the space itself. There's an ease here, a sense that people aren't just passing through. I took a seat at the bar, did what one does in such environments, and ordered an IPA. It was solid... confident, balanced, exactly what you'd hope for. But then came the onion rings, which I ordered based on a subtle but unmistakable social cue: everyone else seemed to be eating them. Reader, they were correct. These were not mere onion rings. These were structurally sound, texturally precise, and philosophically complete. Large, fully cooked onions, no trace of that unpleasant raw bite, encased in a crisp, golden coating that somehow maintained its integrity from first bite to last. Crunchy, consistent, and deeply satisfying. Naturally, I paired them with blue cheese dressing because I'm from upstate New York, and that is not a preference, it is doctrine.

I arrived a little bit later than the rest of my group and they had already ordered several apps for the table. I did not come hungry this trip, so I just munched on the boiled peanuts.

An abundance of TVs and what's better than hanging out with fellow jags fans?! Plenty of seating, indoor and outdoor options. And just a fun place to be. I'm officially a fan now and will for sure check this out on a more regular basis. No pics because I was too busy being blown away by the Jags performance today! Duuuuuvallllll

I stopped by during one of their vinyl events and instantly fell in love with the atmosphere. First things first... the Pink Pony Club cocktail WOW. It was perfectly balanced, flavorful, and dangerously easy to sip. Not too strong, not too sweet... just right. The kind of drink that makes you immediately consider ordering a second (or third ). At some point my stomach reminded me that it is requiring fuel, so I ordered one of their gourmet glizzys and went with the Chicago Glizzy. Let me tell you... absolutely amazing. Bold, delicious, and somehow both indulgent and elevated at the same time. The overall vibe is what truly makes this place special. The patio, glowing with soft lights, feels like the perfect place to unwind under the stars , while the indoor space gives off a cozy library-meets-speakeasy feel that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. The crowd was warm and welcoming, the energy was positive, and the staff were friendly with excellent service from start to finish. Bonus highlight: I even met a new friend while I was there always a sign you've found a great spot . I'm already looking forward to my next visit so I can spend even more time soaking it all in.

The menu is via QR code that takes you to their website and you can find wines, cocktails (with wine) and some beers.

Also tried the frozen strawberry frozen marg which I unfortunately did not enjoy. It didn't have a lot of strawberry flavor, it tastes more like cherry medicine. Do want to mention that when it gets busy, it may be hard to find parking and the area is pretty sketchy (I didn't feel safe parking far and having to walk over. One time a homeless guy was yelling at me when I was walking on the sidewalk), so just be mindful and careful if you do park far and having to walk.
