    Great and charming location in Calistoga Plaza. The drinks were exquisite--we had the weekly special and the pomegranate mule. Both were very refreshing. We ordered the Calistoga Nachos with Birria (as recommended by our waiter, Jackson), and they did not disappoint. The portion size was perfect. Often, restaurants serve an overwhelming mountain of nachos you can never finish, but these were just right--loaded with all the goodies and packed with flavor. Not a single chip was left behind. For dinner, we had the Island Burger (a weekly special with pineapple and teriyaki sauce) and the Cali Chicken Club. Both entrees were rich in flavor and left nothing more to be desired. I also recommend getting the truffle chips as a side--they were incredibly savory, somewhere between a chip and a Yukon potato slice. Overall, the restaurant was both appetizing and aesthetically pleasing. The large outdoor patio will be perfect for summer evenings, and we'll definitely be back for dinner and live music in the future!

    Overall this place is great! I came here with my husband and it is a little busy but it is Saturday night. So we opted to sit at the Bar. My husband really enjoyed his beer choices, he opted for two of their stouts and we shared an order of cheese curds (highly recommend) Staff is friendly but you can tell they are a little bit short staffed. We were served right away but can tell the busier it got, the slower service got. Overall the place is nice, good music and fun atmosphere. I would recommend coming during their less busier times for quicker service.

    I very rarely give a 2 star or less rating. My fiancée and I came in for dinner. We were quickly greeted by the hostess, who said we could wait 10 minutes for a table or sit at the bar (there were several open seats). We opted for the bar. We sat for 20 MINUTES with nobody even acknowledging us. There were 4-5 employees behind the bar constantly running into each other. 2 gentlemen sat next to us, who were quickly acknowledged. They even stopped the bartender and said we weren't helped yet and we should be waited on first Several of the employees looked like they were miserable and were having a horrible day. I evwtually got a rasnerry vagrant, whixh was good. We stayed for entrees, and i ordered the burger of the day. The food was great, but due to the horrendous service, I could not provide anything higher than 2 stars.

    This is what you get for $16.  Burnt fish and soggy fries.  Horrible.  And I never complain.

    See the picture on this review. This is what I got for $16. Soggy and burnt fish and soggy sweet potato fries. I go here a lot but I don't know if I'll be wasting my money on this quality food in the future. Make it right.

    The Ahh Fuggles And Sweet Potato Fries
    Steve A.

    Arrowhead Ales is a pretty nice and big brewery. It has a good size list of drafts to choose from. Some food too including burgers, fries, and other typical munchies to get in pubs. Friendly staff and it feels like a place to hang out. There's lots of TVs to watch games or whatever kinds of shows. It has a lot of beers on tap from their own brewery. It's made out here and there's all kind of styles to choose from. There's hoppy IPAs and some fruity ones too. Hard to choose. Why it choose a few of these. I like the Ahh Fuggles. It's $6 for a pint. This is an Irish Red Ale and it's pretty light and smooth. Small bites include the Sweet Potato Fries. It's $4 for a serving. This is enough for one person or maybe two. Good to munch on something while drinking. The fries are crispy and a nice thing to eat without being a lot. Bigger food options include burgers. It can get pricey at about $15 or so each. Try to save that money to get more of what's on tap if possible.

    Went to Arrowhead on a date. We each got drinks and both were really good. I loved the blackberry mojito! We split avocado rolls as an appetizer, which were delicious. i also got the caprese flatbread which was great there and also left over. I look forward to going again. There was a lot of people there but we got seated very quick and were well taken care of. Took a little while to get our bill but oh well, not too big of a deal for us as everything else was great.

    Soft pretzel and avocado wonton. Unreal. Get it. Get 2 orders. You won't regret it.
    Jodi S.

    Listen- take your wife this weekend. Order the pretzel and 2 orders of the avocado rolls and a couple of specialty beers. Just do it. Great atmosphere. Great service. Kept clean. Not too loud. Outdoor seating as it warms up. This would be a 5/5 but nothing on the menu is worthy except the avocado rolls.

    Got these great beers and also Mexican food at this Tinley Park brewery. In fact this is located…read moreclose to another one. Soundgrowler likes to crank the music up. A pretty hopping ass atmosphere. Those that like loud music will certainly like this. Coming here we missed it a few times at first. It's located on the edge of an industrial park. This is a pretty strange location it seems. About the only reason to be in this area actually. Kind of hard to see amongst all the warehouses. It's about $7 a pint. Pretty similar to typical craft beer prices though. Best we had of these was the Straight Blade. This is a West Coast IPA that's bitter with citrus and floral notes. As for the food it's mostly Mexican. It's $12 for the Lunch Special. There's a choice and we got tacos. Choose proteins including options for plant based. We got these with Beyond meat, and the faux al pastor. Basically they make meaty substitutes out of mushrooms. These come with beans and rice. A lot more on the menu. There's also brunch on Sundays with omelettes and other stuff. Has more than just beers of course. It's also got choices of burritos, tacos, and tortas. There's lots of things for vegans and vegetarians.

    This is the type of brewery that I don't mind spending an entire afternoon...or day at. We came on…read morea Saturday & while it was busy, it didn't feel crazy or that we needed to leave. There's tons of different seating options - we were lucky to snag a table. The people around were also super nice, moving to make sure there wasn't a random seat open and making sure people could actually sit. They have a bunch of different beer options - I went with my typical IPA and it was delicious. They also have actual cocktails, but as a beer drinker, I needed to make my way around the beer menu first. They also have food - which is sadly why I'm dropping this down to 4 stars. I got a steak quesadilla and it was the greasiest food I've ever had. It might have been appreciated after a few more IPAs, but it was a rough start to my night. I was able to eat the top parts of it, but the rest of it wasn't really edible. The beer and cool music / vibes are really what makes this place great.

    I always enjoy supporting local restaurants, and this Asian fusion restaurant did not disappoint…read more Convenient parking lot next to the restaurant. Our server, Maddie was so fun, energetic, helpful, and very accommodating. It was a nice touch that the manager came to check on us and offered a taste test of their stouts; Eunoia Batch 21 and What Could Be 35. So good!! Phase Three Brewery Company in Elmhurst, a must-visit for anyone who appreciates unique, well-crafted beers. Their house brews paired perfectly with the food and are worth the visit on their own. I had the Day Drift, Blood Orange, Calamansi, so refreshing!! I should have ordered the 16 ounces!! The Shanghai Lumpia was delicious, crispy, golden, and packed with flavor. The Duck Corn Dogs were another standout, perfectly cooked, tender and moist. The banana ketchup added a layer of flavor. I originally came for the adobo, but unfortunately they had already sold out. Instead, I ordered the Double Dip Korean Style Fried Chicken Sandwich, and I'm glad I did! The chicken breast was incredibly tender, juicy, and savory--absolutely delicious. To finish, I had the Ube Cheesecake. Rich, creamy, and wonderfully decadent without being overwhelming. Needless to say, I'll definitely be back for that adobo I missed and, of course, to enjoy a few more of those amazing craft beers.

    We have been to Phase 3 : Elmhurst several times and we love it!…read more The first time we visited, it was just for beers. The beers were excellent, and the food looked and smelled so good that we vowed to come back! We've been back twice now and loved it each time! You can't go wrong with their beers! Their flagships are solid and they always have a healthy number of experimental brews. Best of all the worlds! This time we both got IPAS and loved them all: Trail Trip, West Coast Pixel, and Swells! Trail Trip was my favorite because I prefer non-hazy. For dinner I got the double-dipped fried chicken sandwich with a side of fries. YUM! Bursting with flavor and deliciousness! The spicy gochujang sauce is divine! And super filling! My husband did the OG Burger, Fries, and 10 oz beer for $15 Monday/Tuesday deal. He loved the food, drink, and the deal! The space is so clean, open, and inviting. The front dinning area is spacious enough with plenty of seating and the bar, but there is also a fantastic outdoor space. The servers will all friendly, helpful, and professional. Things can move a little slowly, but it is worth the wait! On busy weekend nights, they do have online reservations, so that can be a good way to secure a spot! Next time we are in Elmhurst, we will definitely be back. We love Phase 3!

No trouble getting a table but the bar area was pretty full. Our server was fast and professional. She nailed everyone's drink and food orders with no issues. Food came out fast and hot as well. Tough to do with 10 people at a table. I ordered the Honey Glazed chicken. It was pretty good but the chicken had a few chewy spots. Flavor was great though. The glaze was sweet but not overpowering. 2nd night I ordered the Parmesan chicken. That chicken was great but o didn't care for the pasta it was served on. Flavor was good but just not my thing. Service was great both nights. Pricing is fair as well. Recommend if you're in the area and looking for something different than your typical nationwide chain.

    Very disappointing experience at this establishment. It's been a few years since we've visited…read moreBrickstone and this time, we were not impressed. Service was slow -- to non existent -- at best. We ordered two saganashkees that were bland, with little to no crust. The server said he has never served two at once before, so I guess we loose. I ordered the Poke. It too was bland and some of the tuna was hard!! Yes, hard!! The serving included a dollop of guacamole that had no business on the plate, in my opinion. Chunks of avocado, that I thought I was getting, fine, but not a traditional guacamole. Not good. Three of the four persons at our table ordered burgers and were all equally disappointing. It seemed like the burgers were diced up like it we to get used like in chili. But then, there tried to make a hamburger out of it!! Really weird. The taste was good, but unmanageable as a hamburger. One of the persons at our table ordered a shrimp appetizer. He said it was "ok". This restaurant has a nice atmosphere and is quite comfortable and the beer is okay. But, that's all it has going for it. Our previous visit a few years ago was much more enjoyable. We see no reason to return.
