    Taproom Beer Menu, with rotating drafts
    Michael K.

    Nice tap room with a pretty good selection at fair prices. I haven't tired the food yet. There are gnats flying around inside since the doors are kept open, but that's typical of any Soma businesses that leave their doors open. Dog friendly!

    Came here with some family and friends after a nearby show around 9pm on a Friday. We came in with a party of 8 and the place was at about half capacity. So they were not overwhelmed with customers, but certainly understaffed. I can only imagine how stressful an understaffed restaurant/bar can be for the front of house workers, but the way our party was treated was unacceptable. I cannot make any excuses for the girl who was working the bar that night. I'm not one to make assumptions; but the way she treated our party, specifically those of Asian descent felt very intentional and calculated. We were treated rudely and disrespectfully by her from the beginning and I couldn't figure out what our group could have done to provoke such behavior. Whereas the two individuals of our party who were not Asian, were treated the expected standard. It left a sour taste for our whole group, especially after what was a great start to our night. The food wasn't anything special and the quality of the ingredients were noticeably below average. I appreciated the ambiance of the place, but I just hope they employ better individuals. There seems to be a recurring pattern of how certain patrons are treated here based on other reviews. I wish nothing but the best for this business and I hope others have a better experience than me.

    The Mary w/ thousand island dressing... no fries... this better be the best $20 burger ever.

    So, I work right next door and decided to give these folks a try.... Careful ordering off the menu online. It's not accurate. They don't have fried pickles andddd this $13.75 burger somehow ended up being $20 (just the burger...) no change, no receipt... a shame! If there was any due diligence- it would be a to-go spot... after this though, I think not!

    lively and inclusive bar/pub with a great atmosphere for socializing, enjoying sports, and trying different beverages. It is LGBTQ friendly and welcoming to everyone. Ask for Bleu cheese sauce for your califlower, it's so good!

    Burger and fantastic fries!

The themeing is so on point inside! Some of their drinks are interactive which adds on to the themes. My friend thought the wands were available for show and borrow and got charged $20 for the wand xD I gotta say the night we went, bartender was pretty slow... it almost felt like he forgot our order bc it would take a while and when finished making drinks it was actually another groups order. The bartender wasn't super busy either. The drinks were hit or miss, espresso martini they had on the menu is probably premade bc I asked to change the liquor and he said I wouldn't be getting the one that's on the menu. Tried the one on the menu and lowkey hated it, tastes watered down and bitter. Although I tried my friends "butterbeer" cocktail and omfg if you have to order something get that. It was so good. Drink costs were about $16-$18. For me, it was nice to try and a fun experience! But probably one and done ToT

The mushroom slice was good too, though I wanted more mushroom flavor. They did ran out of most slices pretty fast so come early. Love that you can get whatever toppings on the slices too. The french onion dip was unexpectedly spicy and tasty, lots of garlic (I think). It leaned a little salty but was a nice bite. Honestly the whole menu sounded good but I was happy with my choices and very stuffed. I also had the banana biscoff pudding which was yum. I got a spicy vodka pie to go too which was great but not as good as the slices there (not about reheating but the flavors seemed slightly different). It's a pretty huge pizza - the box literally would not fit in my fridge. Made for a solid lunch plus more leftovers in the freezer. I also got a salted brown butter cookie to go which was good but I've had better and prefer my cookies a little chewier. But it was a huge cookie for $3 in a city where smaller similar cookies can be $5 so I appreciated that. Lots of wine and beer options and I appreciated that they had a bunch of N/A options. Service was great and the I enjoyed my time there. I round up to 5 stars because of the overall experience.

The crust is my favorite part -- it's thin (but not too thin), savory, and almost focaccia-like. The vodka sauce on the stracciatella pizza is balanced, and ingredients taste super fresh. Paired with a draft beer, this makes for a super well-rounded meal :^ ) I was also surprised I liked the burger as much as I did. The burger comes with a generously portioned, juicy patty and is paired with piping hot and well-salted fries. Would easily make many more visits to this establishment!

We especially liked their Hazy IPA, but the Oktoberfest was very good too. The bartender said their Kolsch is a bit of a classic, and we liked it too, but it wasn't a stand out to us. I later got a 10 ounce pour of their IPA and felt like that was the best of all. The best part is that you couldn't go wrong with any of the beers. - We got chips and guacamole from the taco truck guy located inside next to the bar...You pay by cash, and we got a big container of chips and a humongous couple of scoops of guac for $9.

From the outside, The Beer Hall almost blended into its surroundings - I almost walked right by if it hadn't been for the neon "The Beer Hall" sign. The taproom is quite spacious and could accommodate several large groups; however, the night of our visit was relatively quiet, perhaps due to the cold weather. Since there weren't any large tables, our group spread out over three smaller tables. As people came and went throughout the evening, it was convenient that we could each order our own beer and food at the bar. I selected an IPA from Fieldwork, a local favorite, and the beer stayed cold and refreshing throughout the evening. The food menu was limited, but I was craving something warm and salty to pair with my beer. For nearly $10, the fries weren't cheap, but the plate was piled high with some of the best fries I've had in a while. They were served piping-hot alongside two dipping sauces - aioli and ketchup. My friends sitting around me couldn't resist them either, and the mountain of fries disappeared in record time. The servers at the bar were very friendly and checked in on our group often. We spent a few hours enjoying our conversation and beer, overall having a fun, laid-back evening.
