So many great shows there from my many friends with bands to some of the best-known punk acts in the country. This location is really just as great. It's a spacious restaurant that does at times have live music. Family-friendly. Incredible service. And the food...big portions and enough to share. I love the habanero burger. My boyfriend loves the Tony Montana Cuban. The classic mac and cheese is so good, it's like it came from someone's kitchen. Totally scratch-made. Those steak tacos aren't too shabby either, friends!

We both got a flight to sample their beers and a crowler to go. Another thing to note... the bathrooms were super clean!! As well as the dining area. We left super satisfied and hope to visit again and bring our friends!

We go to Recon which is located in the Meeder community. Free parking. Big field outside for kids to run. Phones got charged and I got a green beer.

Outdoor seating was fully open and though my photos don't show it, people were there throughout the afternoon. I enjoyed it and would return. We've been up to the Butler location, but it's been a while and are glad to have one a bit closer.

On a Wednesday evening in July, my fiance and I found ourselves in the Cranberry area. We found…read morethis place and decided to give it a try, as we had never been before. It is also a non-chain establishment, which is a plus in this area. Recon Brewing is located within the Meeder neighborhood of Cranberry. It almost feels like you are in the wrong spot when initially entering, but eventually you stumble upon the "town square" area with a big lawn, several storefronts, and lots of sidewalks, which make it very easy to walk to. Since this is quite literally in the middle of a neighborhood, there is not a dedicated parking lot. However, there are spaces on the street around the entire area where all of the storefronts are. We had no issue finding a spot on this particular night, but I could see it being slightly more challenging if there is a big crowd eating here. We arrived here a little after 7:30, and it was not busy. Our dog was with us, so we opted for seats on the patio. The wait staff came to greet us right away, and were attentive to us throughout the entire evening. Since this is a brewery, we started off with a few beers. I had To Live & Rye, which is a red/amber rye. I appreciated this as an option, as a lot of places do not carry reds or red-adjacents, especially on tap. I enjoyed it, and it was a great sipper throughout the evening. My fiance ordered the Sour Series - Plum. He thought it was okay, but could have been more sour. Since they brew a lot of their own selections, these seem to rotate and switch out pretty frequently, which is a good way to be able to try lots of different brews. For an appetizer, we split the Cheese Curds. The portion, for the price, is okay. They were tasty, and I liked how you could choose whatever dipping sauce you wanted. We chose ranch, and thought it paired well with the curds. We both ordered 10" Personal Size Pizzas for our entrees, which are cut into 6 pieces. I opted for the Hot Honey, which was more of a white-style pizza with chicken on top and drizzled generously with hot honey. My fiance ordered the Peppers & Sausage, which had red pepper, banana pepper, and chunky pieces of sausage. Both had nice flavors, but we were not particularly wow-ed by either pie. The portion was solid for a personal serving, but if there are multiple people in your party, I would order multiple pizzas. Our total bill came out to be just under $50. I do not think this is unreasonable given that we got 2 beers, an appetizer, and two entrees. I think that in terms of overall value, this is very standard compared to similar restaurants and breweries. I loved the ambiance of Recon! If we lived closer to Cranberry, I could see myself coming here weekly, especially when the weather is warm. The patio lights make it such a cozy and warm atmosphere at night. It was not operating during our visit, but there was also a fire pit. There was a ton of seating here overall - both indoors and out. This would be a great spot to meet a large group of people, or just for a night out for two. There is even bar seating on the interior. I can see this being a great spot for the neighborhood to walk to and enjoy often. In terms of activity, there seems to be a lot going on at Recon. Though not anything specifically during our visit, there was a chalkboard advertising their regular events - DJ Trivia every Tuesday, Karaoke every other Thursday, as well as special events - a Comedy Show, Patio Party with music and vendors, and DJ Bingo. I would love to return for an event in the future! Lastly, I love how nice they were to our dog. He got a giant bowl of water with ice in it! The staff and patrons were friendly and welcoming to both us and him, which is a big plus when we bring him along on outings. There was even a donation box inside benefiting the Butler County Humane Society, so I know the treatment of my dog was not an off-chance occurrence. Overall, I enjoyed my first visit to Recon Brewing at Meeder! This truly is the perfect spot to be able to walk to and socialize with neighbors, grab dinner or a drink, and enjoy the atmosphere and ambiance that they provide. Plus, there are plenty of events and fun activities that seem to be happening regularly to keep patrons coming back. The staff were all kind, and we enjoyed our food and drinks. I look forward to another chance to be able to enjoy Recon, hopefully partaking in one of their many events.

Firecracker 3/10 This cocktail was all sweetness from the grenadine, you couldn't taste anything else. Would recommend more lemonade in this and a taller glass. Would not get again. Crab Cakes 8/10 They were good, but a little dry. I'm pretty sure it was real crab meat. They do not come with any sauce or Remoulade or anything on the side, but they definitely need something. Cheese Sticks 10/10 Good breading, fry, and nicely melted cheese. Buffalo Chicken Pizza 8/10 I was surprised to see it was like a chicken dip on top of the dough. It's very difficult to eat when it first comes out, and the chicken mixture just falls off the dough. Dough was cooked well though, and had a good crust. As a whole, it was decent, but it needed something, I just can't think of what. West End Quesadilla 8/10 This quesadilla was ok, but probably wouldn't order again. The tomato juices were all over the bottom of the plate making the tortilla super soggy, and I would prefer if the tomatoes were inside, along with a little more cheese inside as well because it just kept falling apart. It needed something to bind everything together.

The owner has a 90's vibe going with posters on the wall and other decorations. Which is positive to me knowing the 90's was my time of growing from a teenager and ending with an engagement. This place had different places to sit from couches to tables and chairs. They had different beers on taps. Wife had a sangria and I had two different hazy IPA's which I liked them both. Jason sat down with us and chatted about the brewery. Told us they been here for 11 years. Told us everything the owner was doing. Positive changes. Provided us with a map of local brewery passports in the area and in Ohio. Provided some recommendations to different breweries and likewise from our end. Since this was the 80th microbrewery that we've visited in the Pittsburgh region. We almost have them all visited. Goals for 2023. This place is a good stop.

We had the Roggenbier which is a style and recipe I see very little of in our craft beer drinking experiences. It's very similar to a Hefeweizen but rye is put into the recipe instead. It was a very intriguing outing having this kind of beer and had a nice, smooth light flavor to it. I definitely need to give kudos to the brewery for making something out of the ordinary which I feel like it's a rut that I feel I fall into by trying the same and mainstream beer styles time and time again.
