A fine place. No tribulations whatsoever. Happy to report that of the two times I've been here…read more(spaced over six months), Trials Pub is a winner. A handsome building with three distinct areas to settle in, it's easy to find comfort here. The choice mix-tape music with ample offerings from the 80s and 90s especially, help set the mood. And though this is an English pub, the music is not confined to the U.K. The beer selection is great - and international, as well. The Guiness menu on the wall is helpful, but there's even more to explore. Tumer Pils, Stella, et al. And there is a good whiskey menu, too. Trials is also great for food. I recently enjoyed their Pub Burger, which is a hearty plate of 1/2 lb. burger, with bacon, cheese, and the usual veggie accompaniment. The 'chips' are good and plentiful, but I have now tried their beer-battered onion rings -- and those are wonderful. Perfectly crunchy, not greasy, and just salty enough. If you do opt for the salad with any of your dishes, it's deep green and crafted with care. The side salad here is no afterthought. The Shepard's Pie looks great, and apparently is (though my dining companion failed to offer me a bite). Previously, I had enjoyed the falafel plate because sometimes, you just want falafel. Also previously, I tasted the chicken curry dish (hearty and delicious). The Mac n Cheese bites got high marks at our table, though I did not partake. The sausage rolls - classic pub fare - were very good on my first trip here. The cold water is refreshing and welcome. And the Tumer Pils hit the spot. It's all good here. Special mention for Thomas, one of the gents here. Super-likable, with a sly sense of humor, Thomas is a major asset at Trials Pub. Parking is easy -- or just ride-share -- just in case.

When I walked in, it wasn't exactly what I had imagined, smelling and looking more like a bar than a restaurant but I gave it a chance. Our table ordered the truffles fries, which didnt have any truffle in it, but was still good. How can you go wrong with fries right? It came with this unique mayo sauce that was good. We also got the mac and cheese and it had a nice toasted bread crumb on top. The entire bar smelled like buffalo wings, so we had to get that and it was also pretty good, but its bar food so not much effort there. We ended up ordering the rib-eye, which was $65, a bit pricey. It came with a pesto mashed potato, which was a nice addition, with a side of mixed green beans. The steak itself was just okay though, I'd give it a 5/10. Service was great. Our waitress remembered all our orders without writing it down and the bartenders were nice and friendly.

Made a stop at this place after a long hiatus, and I would say the place looks a lot different than…read morethe deli-style place that I recall. I was not totally surprised by the change, and I have driven by multiple times, so I have seen the change from the outside. The interior looks like beautifully decorated bar that serves food. Service was pretty good and fast, and prices are still very reasonable. I had a quinoa plate with Jamaican Jerk and Red Curry. The quinoa was well-cooked without being too soggy or undercooked. For the Jamaican Jerk, the potato was not too soft, and the veggie cutlets were flavorful. For the Red Curry, the sweet potato, fried tofu, and bell pepper were well also.

It felt like a really nice space to grab a few high quality beers and hang out for a bit. As far as I can tell, they don't really have a food menu to speak of, but it felt like a really fun place to grab a pint before dinner.

My friend and I were looking at the menu trying to decide what we wanted when the bartender started yelling at us. It felt unnecessarily rude and uncomfortable, especially considering we were simply trying to figure out what to order. I'd absolutely come back for the beer, but the way we were spoken to was disappointing and really took away from the experience. Great beer shouldn't come with being yelled at for reading the menu.

What's changed in over five years? Nothing much beyond my drinking habit…read more The food and service keeps us coming back. I think there's been maybe one or two instances where they were slammed and things got dicey. So... over five years of coming here and a nearly impeccable record of consistency you could set a watch to? In the age of self pay kiosks with suggested tip buttons and blank faced drones for employees, Brew City Grill brings a dining experience from an era far superior to whatever *gestures wildly at everything* this is. One of these days I need to make the pilgrimage of Uncle John's Pancake House for breakfast/lunch, and Brew City for lunch/dinner. Yeah, they're that good, and it's money well spent to support local businesses with solid, reliable staff.

The cheese on top wasn't even melted, and the chicken had a rubbery texture and taste. Argh! Then came the mushroom burger. The sautéed mushrooms were cold and meat patty was dry, didn't feel the mushroom was freshly cooked at all. Lastly, the music they were playing was so sad and sorrowful. It didn't make the place feel lively or inviting at all. I came in hungry and was really looking forward to the food, so when it turned out to be this bad, it was especially disappointing. Great service, but unfortunately, the food just didn't live up to expectations.

I decided, for the World Cup final, to haul ass to Almaden and watch it here. I arrived roughly an hour or so before the match was scheduled to begin and seated myself at the bar. The staff were nice and attentive, and prices are just okay for standard pub fare in my opinion. I kept it simple by deciding to get just a club soda and a simple grilled cheese sandwich. The total for both (without tip) was $19.70. Not the cheapest, but I've seen more expensive pub fare elsewhere. The club soda was as good as any, but the grilled cheese sandwich was a bit disappointing. It was small and lukewarm, and the accompanying fries were bland as well. For now, I give them a solid three stars. If I come back and the food is better next time around, I'll post a new and higher-ranked review. 3 stars

They're open late and serve a variety of rice bowls & ramen. The staff are kind, friendly, & happy to help -- but orders are placed through the tablet at your table. There are fun neon lights that set the vibe & k-pop stars all over the walls. We tried the cc chicken & the RJ army style stew; The chicken was breaded & coated in their cc sauce. They give you the option to have an extra sauce on the chicken, or on the side. I chose the chili sauce (on the side, since I prefer to dip) and really enjoyed the bowl with macaroni salad & some fresh greens. The fresh salad was a nice surprise as I finished more of the plate! My partner really enjoyed their stew; the flavor tasted of fermented soybean, with various meats, cabbage, & served with noodles. The noodles looked like they were instant, but still tasted of good quality. They brought out a tabletop stove to keep the soup hot, and showed us how we could turn it off or lower the heat when we were ready. It was a cute & nice little touch that we really enjoyed~ Looking forward to coming back again to try more of the menu!
