I'm a porter/stout guy and their smokes porter, seriously!, to die for! Fourth, their food was fantastic. Allow me to put this together. Great beer, better yet, great food. I had the Brat Plate....so good, all fresh. Staff was friendly, attentive, and engaging. If I lived here, no question I would be in the Beer Mug Club. The owner has a great theme and business model. Highly recommend a visit if you love good beer and good food. This is not your typical brewery setup!!! Oh they sell coffee and it smelt amazing!!!

NOTE: patriotism is unashamedly Anchored by a creative brew menu, they also feature great noshing choices. The Mexican street corn is so flavorful - must try. The chips and beer queso is amazing. They smoke their own meats! Our Grilled Cubano and Grilled Cheese (with bacon of course) were meaty, flavorful and generous. Our brew choices were all delightful. They do feature rotating specials, so come by frequently! I really liked the 6th Anniversary Imperial Stout. Service is spot on!!! Great brew pub!!!

This brewery has been my list for a while but somehow we'd never been. Our friend spoke highly of…read moreit so we had to go. The place was once a restaurant that we had gone to in the past. It has a large outdoor area with picnic tables, fans and water misters. There was one family that was letting their kids run like crazy so we sat inside. It's a bit warm- lots of windows with odd setup. It is counter service- so you order and they deliver. They have beer, a few wine and cider. We were on the fence overall but then my husband tasted his beer- 5/5. And the food came out: pizza 5/5 (probably the best pizza I've had in SA) and smoked turkey sandwich (whoa! Smokey but not over smoked where you are burping the taste hours later) with fries 5/5 (crisp, seasoned perfectly). We will definitely be back and so should you. You should try it now.

I have given alot of thought on how I want to rate this establishment, and ultimately settled on 4…read morestars, which may be a little unfair. I think the reason I didnt "love" the pizza is because its so different with the sourdough base and not what i am used to. I would like to return and try a sandwich or something else on the menu. Service was fast and friendly, and the place was clean and welcoming. My main reason for trying out wild barley was because they have sour beers, it wasnt the best sour beer i have ever had, but i have noticed in Texas the sour beers have a strange taste to them that i cant quite put my finger on. Overall though it was refreshing and cold. my husband really enjoyed the cider. We will be back and i hope after trying something different on the menu to change my review to 5 stars,

I really enjoyed our visit here. We went with about 10 people or so. I am a Lager girl so trying to…read moreget light lagers is not always easy. This place actually had a great one and I was able to enjoy it. The place also offers flights. Some at our table took advantage of that so that they could try multiple drinks. The place is very pet-friendly and the people who bring their dogs have well-behaved (and adorable) dogs. There are games around so you can play. We had some sort of Q & A game which made the visit that much more fun(nier). The staff was friendly and seemed to be enjoying being there so that's always a positive. Overall a good place. I would definitely return here.

This was such a fun little brewery. We decided to swing by one Sunday afternoon for a cold beer and…read moresome finger foods, and it ended up being a great stop. As soon as we walked into Dos Sirenos, the staff were very friendly and greeted us right away, letting us know to grab a seat wherever we liked and that someone would be with us shortly. Even though the place was pretty busy both inside and outside, it didn't take long for someone to come over and take our food and drink order. The drinks came out quickly, and the food wasn't far behind. Everything we ordered was delicious--honestly my only complaint was that my plate was empty by the end! The drinks were cold, refreshing, and really good. Overall, we had a great time at Dos Sirenos. The atmosphere was lively, the service was friendly, and the food and drinks hit the spot. We would definitely come back.

Strolling through the renovated Broadway area, we came across Idle Beer Hall & Brewery and glad we…read moredid. I had heard about this place but didn't know exactly where it was located. It is next to the Make Ready food hall and makes for a perfect 1 - 2 punch of activity. We arrived right at the tail end of Happy hour, so I order an Old Fashioned and found a spot at their outdoor patio. The patio is pet friendly and they do have live music. My drink was made well and made for a nice evening as the weather outside was nice and the live one-man band added some nice ambience. I can see why downtown residents would like to hang out in this area. Overall, I really liked the vibe of this laid-back icehouse and look forward to coming back to experience more.

The interior of Idle is very nicely designed with good branding and a great setting to hang out. It's spacious so it never feels overly crowded. We talked to one of the bartenders once who told us they are connected to Golden Gopher in LA, which we had been to in downtown LA. They always have sports on their large TVs. You can also order food from Make Ready food hall and eat there which is pretty amazing. They have some snacks you can order as well and once I went when they had a taco vendor as a pop up. So cute! Family friendly and they have a large outdoor space where kids can run around. They do have a cut off time when they become 21 and up. Parking is either on the street or a surface lot close by.

The staff were super helpful and welcoming. The beer was great but the best thing about our visit was the pizza - holy crap was it good. We enjoyed a sweet Italian bbq pizza and it was incredible, we had no trouble finishing the pizza in one sitting. Once you're past the outdoor aesthetic you're in for a real treat!

Lots of food choices. Our group generally orders a bunch of shareables. I highly recommend their different pizzas, the scrumptious nachos, the amazing goat cheese and artichoke dip, and the big pretzel. Others have ordered a great fresh salad or philly steak sandwich, both of which were great. Freetail even offers a couple yummy soup options. Thursday night is Trivia night and it can be lots of fun.

There was a musician singing and playing guitar, and he was really good, which made the atmosphere even better. The drinks were great and the food was even better. We ordered wings and a pizza and really enjoyed both. It also felt very family-friendly. There's a small play area just off the outside deck, and several kids were down there playing, which was nice to see. The highchairs can be a little hard to spot, but they do have them inside near the restrooms. Overall, it was a great experience and we'll definitely be coming back!

We had planned to have a few drinks before grabbing dinner but we didn't plan the timing correctly. No biggie...regardless, the food was pretty solid! Both the kimchi fries and dumplings offered a unique taste that sit differently than most other places. It was a pleasant different though. The fries were great and the dumplings complimented the drinks! My partner had a Moscato and I chose a beer flight. Overall the vibe was good. We just missed out on some live music as they were just wrapping up their set. Nevertheless, we will be better prepared next time!

I will say the GPS got a little confused in the route for some reason and I nearly missed an exit and even the entrance (there was some construction going on) There is plenty of parking, but the parking lot was pretty full. You walk up and either walk through the courtyard style Biergarten with tables or you can go inside. It was an unseasonably nice day, so, we opted to sit outside There is a QR code to view the menus. There are entrees and plenty of apps/sharables. There is also a very extensive beer menu. Make no mistake, this is their bread and butter. They boast an imprecise "99 beers on tap." There's local brews, light and dark beers, hoppy, Belgium style, German style, wheat, etc etc etc. if that's not your speed there are cocktails and non-alcoholic options. Our server was fantastic. She was very kind and patient with us. We were constantly checked in on, but not in a hovering way or a pressure to leave. Our food and drinks always came out in a timely manner. She made us feel well taken care of The drinks hit the spot, and the food was tasty. It was definitely a chill vibe/hang. We were there for hours just catching up, and we saw other happy hours, birthday parties, dates, bachelorette parties, etc Some tips: I did order a couple beers that they were temporarily out of, but there are so many beers to pivot to. Also, our server was incredibly helpful in offering other suggestions, similar suggestions, and asking the right questions to help land in the next alternative They are not open Mondays, and they're only open until 11pm Tuesday-Thursday (and Sunday). Friday and Saturday they're open til 1am. Also, on Saturdays and Sunday's they offer brunch from 11am-3pm) The Reuben was surprisingly delicious Cheers!!

Beers were also great as was the mimosa I had and the kids we were with seemed to like their meals which came out last and they said theirs were hot - ours were not unfortunately. I had the Lox eggs Benedict and in retrospect should have sent it back as it was stone cold! My husband and our friend got the biscuits and gravy and also reported that they were cold - it was also served in a bowl which was a bad idea as the biscuits completely soaked up the gravy and resembled oatmeal by the time it hit the table! We got one meal - waffles and chicken to go and the waffles were inedible- poorly mixed, gritty and so much hot sauce in the mixture that they burned the back of the throat - they had to be trashed ! I love this place but won't return in a hurry for brunch - granted multiple dishes with eggs are hard to time right so we ended up with cold food that did however taste good
