Upon entrance is a doorman who is so friendly and accommodating! He found us an open table and checked on us throughout the night. The place was packed and they only had maybe 5 or 6 employees so the service was a little slow but understandable. I think the longest wait was about 20 minutes when we were waiting to get our initial drink order taken, but everything after that was fairly quick. For drinks I got a thin mint martini because they were out of the chocolate reuge martini I wanted. It was so yummy and came with 3 thin mint cookies. My mom got a pistachio martini and the Jefferson Tea. Both were pretty good but I wouldn't order again. My dad got Dead Mans Redemption which is good if you like bourbon. It comes with a wood topper and they light it on fire, let smoke fill in the drink, and then take the wood off. The drink then has notes of smoked wood in it which is cool. For food we got the crispy spring rolls and pepperoni flatbread. Both were so good!!!! It was absolutely worth the wait!!! I could eat the whole flatbread myself it was that good and I can't wait to go back and get another one. The crowd is definitely much older, not a lot of younger people around. It's a good date night for married couples. Overall it was a nice place and I would come back.

This spot has clearly become a local favorite, and for good reason--mighty food, a solid beer selection, and a consistently great vibe.

The staff is always friendly and on point, and after quite a few visits, I can honestly say I've never been disappointed. Cheers

Got two round of drinks (wanted more but not possible) and each one took 20 to 30 minutes to come out. The second round was wrong and I got the wrong drink so I had to wait another 15 minutes to get the right one. Food was just average at best. I got the reuben and the meat was tough! We come here every year and this place is now off our list!!!!

The Sponge Bob's Wet Dream was my favorite cocktail of the night, but they have plenty to choose from. I like that you can come to a distillery and have the option to get cocktails if you don't feel like beer. The mill type setting is creatively decorated and the owners take pride in everything that they do. Being a fundraiser, they were super busy, but had every angle covered to make it a success. This is a great place to come hang out with or without friends.

We just had another fabulous dinner at Brick Alley Pub & Restaurant--our second time dining here…read moresince last fall, and it was just as wonderful as we remembered. We arrived a little early for our 4:00 p.m. reservation, and the place was already packed. While we waited by the bar, a very nice waitress took our drink order--a lemon drop martini, beautifully crafted, well-balanced, and pleasantly strong. We were seated shortly after and, of course, ordered another. (Both times, I took several sips before remembering to take a photo!) Our waitress, Mikela, was truly lovely--sincere, sweet, and very courteous. She was attentive throughout the meal without ever being intrusive, which made the experience feel relaxed and effortless. At the end, I told her I wished I could give her 6 stars, but Yelp only allows 5. For dinner, we both ordered the seared rare ahi tuna steak. I had mine with garlic bread, while my husband chose mashed potatoes. I also added the $9.95 salad buffet, which is such a great deal--you definitely won't leave hungry. I especially love their buffet-style salad bar, which offers nearly every option one could want. Both of our ahi tuna steaks were fantastic--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Once again, I dug into my tuna before remembering to take a photo! We finished the meal with a cheesecake to share--another delicious ending to a wonderful dinner. We're already planning our next visit--there are still so many dishes and drinks we'd love to try.

Our waiter was kind, attentive, and very patient with us as we managed two hangry kids. One employee who was on break even helped me find a quiet spot to take a work call which I really appreciated. The kids' meal came out almost immediately. My son got the cheeseburger, and I was surprised by how big it was. It was adult sized, and he enjoyed and finished all of it. The mussels were the standout of the meal and the best I've personally had. They were incredibly fresh with no fishy smell and the broth was so flavorful. The bread that came with it was perfect for soaking up every last bit of the broth. The salmon was very fresh and cooked well. The shrimp scampi was also really good. The clam chowder was an 8 out of 10 for me. Not the best I've ever had but definitely one of the better ones. Pricing was mid range and felt fair for the quality of the food and the portions. Overall, we were really happy with the meal. Great service, fresh seafood, generous kids' portions, and a fun atmosphere. I'd definitely come back, especially for the mussels.

This family owned distillery and blending house make delicious cocktails for every pallet type. We had a large group, so there were a lot of cocktails flowing, but the stand out one seems to be the South Side, a gin based drink which had the perfect balance of sweet and citrus. They don't take reservations but since we went at a time right before dinner on a Sunday (there were 15 of us!) we had the place almost to ourselves. I could see this place getting busy on a Friday or Saturday so maybe go with a smaller group than what we rolled up with if you want a guaranteed spot! Lentz_explore

Well, a new place that specializes in craft cocktails is right up my alley. We walked across, found the door, and entered. I was really impressed with the interior space. It was cool and dark. Lots of places to sit with a small bar area where everything is made. The cocktail book is large and has a variety of offerings for every palate. The bartenders were very helpful to our friends who are new to craft cocktails. They stick with vodka martinis. I started with a paper plane, which was very well-made. I then tried one of their specials, the Fig Leaf Old Fashioned, which was fabulous. Everyone had a fabulous time, and we will definitely be back to try some of the Absinthe recipes. I hope my fellow Yelpers support a new cocktail place. We need more of them.

Lovely high ceilings and beautiful tables :) We got dozens of oysters each that comes with hot sauce and mignonette and lemon. And also these cute tiny hot sauce bottles (which they gave extra after seeing us go bonkers about them). I got a Negroni that had citrus flavors and was delicious. There was also wings and beer for happy hour. I had to get the mussels and fries cos I was slightly buzzed. Very balanced broth that came with the mussels and a generous position of a grilled sourdough (?) everything tasted very fresh The wings could be a lot hotter but very crispy outside and super juicy inside - comes with generous portions of carrots and celery Overall, highly recommend this place!!
