This entire spot was a vibe. I was only in town for a moment during the NCAA Sweet 16 and wanted to go out. After research, Brew City was recommended. They do provide food, hookah, a semi club vibe, Dj and good company. The chicken wings seemed to be the most popular item ordered from the patrons within. There is plenty of seating inside, but I'm not sure if some of the tables are reservation only. If you're looking for urban vibes, good music, and a great atmosphere look no further. read more

I flew into town for just 36 hours, and my friend insisted we hit Brew City -- and wow, I'm glad we did! I snagged a 12:30 reservation ahead of time, and from the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly polite. We were seated right away and greeted by our waiter, who was absolutely amazing -- super attentive and on point. Within minutes, the place went from chill to full-on vibe! The drinks were top-tier, and the food did not miss. We ordered the lemon pepper wings, stuffed shrimp, and loaded fries, and honestly, they were so filling and delicious that we didn't even need to move on to entrées. And the cherry on top? They have hookah -- a total bonus. Brew City is definitely a must-visit when you're in Dallas. I'll absolutely be back! read more

Came here on a Sunday night after the brunch crowd. Apparently the hostess told us they had a huge reservation earlier with about 60 people. Majority of the items my friends and I wanted to try weren't available. That includes appetizers and main entrees. It's disappointing because we came to celebrate a birthday, and a lot of the food wasn't available. Also the DJ announced $4 margaritas and we got charged full price. Our waitress had an attitude when we asked her about it, and said the DJ was never supposed to announce that and the manager told her it wasn't allowed. But when we requested the drinks you told us it would be $4 like the DJ said. The wings we had as an appetizer were good. I ordered the Cajun pasta with catfish as my main entree, and it wasn't the best especially the catfish. No flavor at all. Not the best experience trying to celebrate a friend's birthday at this restaurant. read more

Now I can't tell you if this salmon is on the menu but my friend saw a picture on the website and was like "I want this!" And they made it! So that speaks volumes to the customer service. Meanwhile I just got a happy hour quesadilla lol. Anyway, can't go wrong with food or drinks here. Service is friendly and fast at the bar. Live music on Thursdays is always amazing read more

The ambience was ok, but the music was extremely loud. The decibel alert flashed on my phone, due to the volume. There were two DJs present, and both of them had mics. They were competing with each other in a corny way, and it did not hype the crowd. I also waited too long to receive my food. The lobster tail was small and dry, and the chicken sandwich was also dry. The drinks were weak, and the ladies bathroom was not clean. I felt like it was thot night at the club. I was recommended to try this lounge for live music and great food. Nah! Wrong crowd, location, and food for me. By the way, the server told me that the automatic service fee does not include her tip. "Excuse me, Ma'am." I'm still shaking my head about this experience. This lounge has nothing for me to return to. Thumbs down for me! read more

Great service, and great food! I was greeted immediately and treated with the most respect. The bartender was very attentive. Great music if you're into a hip-hop. The music is a little loud but I enjoyed it still. I got the catfish and shrimp and grits. It was really good. The catfish was cooked to perfection. Breaded really well and seasoned very well. The presentation was amazing. Great job by staff pat searching everyone. read more

Went here on a Sunday with a GF for brunch and ended up leaving without even eating or drinking and going somewhere else. It's like a club for brunch which is fine if that's what you're looking for. And I would've been fine with the vibe and all that if the staff was friendly and they were more accommodating. There were two of us, and they wouldn't let us add our name to the reservation list and they wouldn't let us add a chair to sit at the bar (we had found one chair but needed one more). It's like they didn't want our business......so say less we will go elsewhere. And that we did. I would not suggest going back here unless you want to be treated like your business doesn't matter. read more

My friends and I came here one evening they were having game night/karaoke. The DJ and host really had the place lit and engaged. They offer a full menu, bar/craft cocktails and hookah. Service was decent for such a large party. I expect efficiency over friendless with parties of 10+ which they delivered on. I did not order off the food menu, however, the cocktails were pretty good. Quality of the hookah was a 7/10. The DJ was very good. He played a lot of old school R&B with some current rap/hip-hop. I would return with a group of friends again. read more

I would normally share this with a manger but he never came in the 20 minutes I stood and waited for him. The service is what tanked the experience for me. The waitstaff could not remember orders and it was disconcerting seeing plates placed in front of several people before it was finally claimed. It took someone else letter our waitress know that I wanted to order, and then she still didn't come. Another waiter finally did. The food shrimp and grits was EXCELLENT, but by the time it made it to me it was cold. The quesadillas were missing two main ingredients as listed on the menu. Then they didn't have salsa. And ran out of sour cream. I asked for the receipt and because he had flipped to another screen, it was a no. I ended up getting it from the bar, but only after I waited for the manager who never showed. A woman at the bar gave me the receipt instead. It's almost like they aren't prepared to a Friday night crowd even though the place was half empty. If the manager had presented himself, I would not be leaving this review here. read more

Now it took me a few days to really figure out What I was going to say in the review post. Attempting to show "BLACK OWNED" businesses that WE CAN SUPPORT their establishments is not worth it. Here's what I mean by this. On Sunday a few of my friends met me at Brews Kitchen & Cocktails. I'm sorry I even recommended this spot for us to watch the game, and dine-in. I've dined here two times before and those times weren't bad. However this experience was TERRIBLE!!! Once my friend, and company showed up. We all went inside. Now it was NOT crowded (meaning Wall 2 Wall). So there shouldn't have been a problem with where we had to sit Right? That's what I thought also. We were seated about 10 steps away from the DJ's microphone, and music table. This was "LOUD" as hell. We had to send one another text messages because we were all tired of asking the other person, "Huh What Did You Say?" This was ridiculous...so our hostess/greeter comes back over to the area where she'd originally sat us at. I asked, Could the table be clean? Also could we had sat in one of the big high back booths and chair area over by the window? Her response was, The Owner wants EVERYONE seated in the same area. Now I ain't the smartest person but I'm not the dumbest either. This didn't make any damn sense but I rolled with the punches until I had to STAND ON BUSINESS. After 14-18 minutes of several female servers walking by us as if we the Invisible Invaders. I finally walked back up to the front entrance spoke to a beautiful light skinned sista with a NFL jersey on. I expressed our disappointment and she immediately took care of us not having a Server notice us for almost 20 minutes. Mind you when we arrived it was 5:15p.m. When we were FINALLY serviced it was after 6:20p.m. Chris moved us over by the window which was awesome. However my friend wanted the $40 Lamb Chops. Chris goes to the kitchen and puts our order in just to walk back out to inform us that the Lamb Chops were SOLD OUT!! So now the time is quarter to 7. My friend ended up placing his order for the NY Ribeye. He liked it so much he wanted to order the same thing but for a 2Go order. Chris went to the kitchen to come back out to us and said, He was sorry but the Kitchen is CLOSED!!! At 7o'clock on a Football SUNDAY??? So we see everyone (employees females) wiping down tables that had been dirty since we walked in at 5:15ish this must be a new thing. Keep all the tables dirty so it looks like the place has limited space for potential customers to sit. I've seen this at a few restaurants as of late. Then the ambiance goes from romantic to all the lights are no longer dimmed. The DJ announces that he's packing up to leave but couldn't make a brief announcement about the kitchen closing by 7pm. ??? I hail Chris down cause now I'm too heated and embarrassed cause I invited my friends to come to Brews Kitchen he spent over $280 on drinks, food, and gratuity. Of course I was gonna ask for the owners name. Sloan is the owner of this very nicely decorated restaurant. I couldn't believe it when I asked Chris, Was the owner here? He said, YES. I asked to converse with him about the JANKY ASS service and establishment he's operating. On the website it shows the time for Sunday hours to be 11a.m.- 10p.m. but you shutting shit down at 7p.m. While Security comes in Yelling everybody needs to GET THE FUCK OUT!!! I've been here since this morning. So that's our fault as paying patrons attempting to keep your doors open???? Now I can visualize what happened to make the BLACK OWNED business VINETTI's to shut its doors. Especially if they ran their business like Brews Kitchen did for us on this past weekend. The owner Sloan doesn't interact with his customers I was informed. He leaves it for the managers to do. Meanwhile the member of management NEVER walked over to our table to EVEN ask us, How was your experience or service today? This spot if it stays in business another year it'll be ONLY BY GODS GRACE. The food, drinks, and aesthetics are all beautiful. Unfortunately the way the restaurant is ran is disappointing. My friend wanted us to go back just for the food and drinks tonight. I didn't wanna have him spend over $$$ and the service not be A1. We can go to other spots that genuinely are attentive and deserving to us as patrons. Food was 7/10 Chris was 10/10 read more

I went to Brew City for a friend's birthday recently and I enjoyed my experience! It was Thursday, so there was a DJ and a live band, performing R&B music. The MC for the night, Taylor was so friendly. She made sure that the birthday girl felt celebrated by the entire room. And she can sing too! lol Every singer they brought forward that night was amazing. It was certainly the highlight of the night for me. Food: I had the pasta, and it wasn't bad. The flavors weren't unique but the food was seasoned, they give you a great portion and for a reasonable price. I believe it was $16. Our server was nice, she didn't go above and beyond and there were some long gaps between her return, but whenever she came to the table, she was nice and made sure we had what we needed. The venue itself is very nice! Lots of big TVs and plenty of space to dance or spread out enjoy a completely different vibe if you want to watch the game or enjoy conversation with your friends/date/family. I will be back! read more

This place was pretty nice. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed and immediately sat although we didn't have reservations (noted for next time). I was only in town temporarily and celebrating my cousin's birthday with her. The bartender Sandy was so nice! She looked out for us and gave us suggestions on what to order but ordered catfish and grits and she ordered chicken and waffles. The food came out fairly fast and was pretty good. It was a nice spot to visit for brunch. Cons: kids. I love babies! But not in a club setting. There were multiple babies. Also the food was 3/5. It was good but not the best I've had. I'd return on a future visit to Dallas. read more

So today I decided to try this place out and see if it was as good as the pictures looked. I went during happy hour I would give the drinks a 8 out of 10. They weren't stingy on the liquor reasonable priced. The ambience and the vibe was good, they had a live DJ . Let's get to the food so I purchased fried catfish , Mac & cheese and collard greens . Along with shrimp Cajun pasta. The greens were delicious, however catfish was fried in old grease super hard and dark. The Mac & cheese was okay not creamy but hard cheesy on top. Definitely wouldn't order neither again. Shrimp pasta would've gotten a 9 but they didn't remove the shells from the pasta in which you couldn't eat without stopping to remove them before swallowing. On top of that they add a 15% gratuity and the food comes out slow. Personally I would just go back for the drinks and the live Dj on happy hour but wouldn't order any food. It's more like a nightclub than a restaurant type setting. read more

So I really needed to try to spot it was on the same lot as my lifetime fitness and each weekend, it always seems like such a fun vibe with hopefully good food. After walking in, I learned that's exactly what it was. Normally chicken and waffles at small independently own spots like this really do not impress me in comparison to the OG's like Roscoes and Lolos. That was not the case here. The chicken and waffles here are phenomenal and 5 out of 5 recommend. No notes. read more

I only went here because all of my friends were going. Upon entry the bar was packed and everyone was complaining about the bartender- Cali W. They basically said she was only waiting on men. And ignored all of the women. She had an attitude and I don't know why. But for me to be at a bar now standing with people that I don't know and we are all in agreement that the bartender is being a shitty person tells it all. I stood for a while, while she did the walk by and ignore. She turned and went to another girl on the other side of the bar who told her that I had been waiting for a while and to take my order first. She still tried to ignore me when the girl was pointing at me. Maybe I had on my invisible shirt that day. But she finally did give me a soda because that was all I wanted. It's too many other things going on to purposely go outside and be a shitty person to others. I probably will never go back here just based off of this horrible experience that myself and everyone else had here. I left the bar area and went to a table to sit w my friends after that. I probably would have gotten food here or more drinks for my friends if I didn't have to endure that. read more

I've been here twice. The first time it was a good experience just a lack in wait staff and it was a slow night. Wednesday wasn't busy but the food and drinks were good. Then I came on a Sunday. I waited almost two hours for food and it was cold. The music was so loud it was pointless to speak. The do was good but the service was bad even though it was busy. There was a lack in communication and general customer service. I sent my food back and different t good came to me, I declined. I was there 3 hours without eating and was highly disappointed. read more

Came here on a Wednesday evening and the ambience was casual. There was music playing and there was plenty of space. Ended up sitting at the bar which was cool. The bartender was friendly and attentive; she made sure we had everything we needed. Now the food...I was a little disappointed by the menu option and soon realized I should've followed my first mind and ordered the chicken wings but next time. Baecation: 6/10 this drink was good. It wasn't too strong but it did have quite a bit of ice (not a fan). Catfish w/greens and mashed potatoes: 6/10 I really enjoyed the mashed potatoes and the fish was friend to my liking although I wish it had a little more seasoning. The greens weren't my favorite...lacked flavor and too many stems for me (I could hear my granny yelling that lol). My friend ordered the same thing but she got Mac and cheese. I tried it and it was good but the noodles were a tad too mushy for me but the flavor was there. Would I go back? Maybe...it wouldn't be the food that makes me come back though. But I would try something different. read more

Wow, first timer for a Sunday Funday brunch, and Brew City knows how to have a good time! I was with a party of 9, and we were among the first group for brunch. DJ was our server, and he did an amazing job making us feel welcomed. He had great energy and was an overall excellent server--no complaints about the service at all. We started with the Mimosa Tower, per DJ's recommendation, and it was the perfect choice for a large group. Our flavors were strawberry-peach and plain pineapple--10/10! For my meal, I ordered 'Cakes, Bac & Yolks,' which is your standard eggs, bacon, and toast dish. It came with two generously portioned cinnamon nutmeg pancakes, scrambled eggs, a choice of meat, and breakfast potatoes. I added a side of sausage and stone-ground grits. The meal was a 7/10 overall. I wasn't a fan of the grits--they had an interesting flavor--and the eggs reminded me of hotel-style eggs, which weren't great. However, everything else was an 8/10. I later checked out their social media and realized that people go to Brew City for the vibes, not just the food--but why can't you have both? Brew City was definitely a good time, 100%. The DJ and host were exceptional, with great music and energy. Thank you, Brew City, for a fun experience! read more

First time trying this place out and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Nice size venue with good drinks and good vibes. Came for bingo night but there was a cover charge to get in. If you rsvp on Eventbrite it's $5 but if not it's $10. It was really packed when I got here so the host told me there were no more seats but the owner stepped in and made sure I had got served and a seat. I really enjoyed r&b bingo but next time I come I have to try the food. I saw a lot of ppl eating the catfish so it seems to be hit. This place also has a lot of differnt events going on throughout the week so definitely want to make sure you check out their page for that. read more

Met a friend here for happy hour on a Thursday evening. Im so grateful that she made reservations although they weren't needed since we arrived at 6. We had a great server by the name of Daysha( or Deja..my apologies). I ordered lemon drops which were happy hour drink specials ($5 each) and they were sooo good! For dinner, I ordered the spicy catfish with macaroni, greens and yams ( added at $7) . The catfish was seasoned very well and the greens / yams exceeded my expectations Shockingly, the Mac n cheese was underwhelming because it lacked flavor. I live music started around 8 and it was pretty good. The MC was Taylor Morgan but the male singer, Broadway was SANGIN! I'd definitely return with friends, solo and even on a date ( do people still do that?) read more

Food: Greens GOOD Food: Mac & Cheese NASTY Bland blah awful Food: Catfish OK SERVICE: Waitress was cool and sweet. It was busy and she did well with customer service. She is the reason they get 2 stars. I really be wanting to support black businesses. However, most leave you disappointed. Why am I paying a bar gratuity and didn't have a drink. I didn't have soda, wine or any type of cocktail. Please make it make sense BUT it doesn't. SO after today I will not support this business or any event they have. I feel like it's just a scam. read more

We were informed that they do "shared seats" on Wednesday(I was sitting in a booth not a table) so I decided to get the check and leave. I reserved a table to not "share seats" it was bingo night. $15 to play bingo and $10 cover charge, even though I reserved seats with the restaurant. The DJ was good(music loud, we had to repeat ourselves the entire night), the food was overpriced, got the fish they were out of tarter sauce, they had no pepper, mac and cheese nasty, greens nasty glory greens taste better. This is the first and LAST time that I will visit this establishment. You automatically charge a tip so even though my waitress was good, no additional tip will be received because you automatically tipped 15% and I Would have gave her more. I had to pay the cover charge because I didn't book through eventbright but I booked WITH THE RESTAURANT. Black Business BS read more

Was hesitant to try this place because of the reviews. Went for a birthday brunch on a Saturday. We had a 2:00 reservation and we were seated immediately. Had a party of 12 with 2 waiters. The waiters had great customer service, food came out fast. Food was pretty good, no complaints on taste or portion sizes. However, I wish there were more options during brunch. My friend is vegetarian and there weren't many options for her. My biggest complaint is that the music is entirely too loud. We couldn't even hear ourselves think due to the music being so loud. The DJ is bomb! But please, please turn the music down a bit so that the guest are able to talk to others in their party as well as so the staff can hear our orders. All in all I will return. read more

The place is really cute. Lots of seat and booths and a decent bar area. They have patio seating as well if you want to enjoy this summer heat. The Sunday DJ was a WHOLE vibe. The Thursday DJ was trash and didn't know how to read the room. As my friend stated "I feel like I'm in the back of my uncles car" lol Food: Now the food is my problem. I came here before and didn't like my food for some of the same reasons other reviews stated. How does the Mac and cheese come out with complete grease at the bottom? Well I revisited recently and the Mac was much better. I only ordered 2 sides because I was just worried. The yams had way too much cinnamon and weren't good. Service: I loved our server!! He was personable and attentive. When paying the machine for tipping needs to be fixed to reflect 10,15 and 20%. It had 7,5,3%. Most people don't read therefore the servers won't be tipped well. Overall: If you looking for a vibe you may find it here depending on the day and the DJ. The place is still fairly new so I believe they have a lot of potential once people find out about it more. I would just eat before I come. read more

Come catch a vibe with good food.. Came to brew city, kitchen and cocktails to listen to some live music, but also have some pretty good soul food. The music was a little louder than probably necessary, but the artist in singers definitely had talent. I'd recommend the catfish and yams and macaroni wasn't bad at all either. They had good drink specials as well with cocktails that were well mixed. Would definitely come back for some of the entertainment. read more

A new Black Owned restaurant that we were very excited to try, recently opened and overall enjoyed the vibe. We sat at the bar and had excellent customer service from Bartender Gio and he definitely helped us to choose food from the menu and made excellent string drinks. I myself am a Gin drinker and so he created a craft gin cocktail for me which I appreciated. The steak and eggs were good but the only problem was that my friend ordered a medium and the steak was well done so she wasn't pleased. The catfish and grits was a 7/10 because it lacked the flavor it looked like it had but it was a good size piece of fish and the grits was also stone grits and well done. My other friend had pancakes which I didn't get a picture of but really enjoyed it. It was good music playing, good customer service and we had a good time together her, we will be back to give the catfish a second chance! read more

I and two friends came here a couple weeks ago on a Thursday night. On Thursdays, they have a jazz saxophonist. We RSVP'd for free through eventbrite, which should not have been necessary because the place wasn't packed. They were clearly trying to accommodate customers who paid for RSVPs or bottle service, which because there weren't many, there were a lot of empty tables that were "reserved." We were seated at a booth far away from the stage but the sound system was good so we could hear the music well. The service wasn't that great as we had to wait a long time to get menus and an even longer time to order our drinks. Our waitress was nice but she was handing drinks one-at-a-time to other tables full of people. Make it make sense Lord. Perhaps that was on the part of the bartenders but the service was slow all around. I will say though that the hostess was lovely. We didn't order food, just drinks so I can't speak to that. We could tell that the happy hour here is probably a big draw because when the live music ended, many of the tables had cleared out. The sax player was really good, but some of the songs he accompanied were funny to me. I'm used to hearing a sax accompaniment with neo soul, r&b, or jazz music, not rap. I'm not complaining, it was just unexpected. read more
