Added bonus for house brewed beer. Found the kolsch a tasty lunch treat. Warmish inside, and hot outside, sadly the views that day were shrouded in haze. Don't know when we'd ever be back in the area, but if we were, I'd not hesitate to suggest a repeat stop.

Sorority sister and I came to Brewers Cooperative last night in hopes of having dinner and a drink…read more She told me "they had a new chef," so, despite a crappy previous experience, I was willing to try again. Honestly, it looks like this place is going out of business. There was no host or hostess and a sign at the entrance said to "seat yourself and order from the bar." There was one bartender, and maybe four people in line to order from the bartender. This location is really sizeable and was maybe half filled with furnishings (2-tops and 4-tops), a small assortment or merchandise to the right of the entrance, and nearly zero staff or patrons. Sorority sister managed to get a couple of menus and we sat at the bar without being greeted for several minutes before deciding to leave. It's a shame this concept could not execute (everything - food quality, food execution, service, and drinks) better and hopefully, a replacement restaurant will open in this (like I said) really sizeable location in Stovehouse.

2.5 really cause the food tasted okay, but I dunno, this was such an underwhelming experience…read more Came here by myself after a long hot day of work about two weeks ago. It was around 1:45 on a Wednesday, and there were a couple people enjoying a beer or an appetizer but it was mostly slow. This spacious brewery/restaurant boasts a lot of indoor and outdoor seating and a small merchandise/gift shop with branded items and beer, of course. They had the door and a couple of windows open and I thought it was fairly hot inside, but not intolerable. I happened to walk in right behind a party of three. We all sort of milled around at the entrance by a sign that said to wait for a hostess to seat you. Eventually, someone came by and picked up the other party. Not being affiliated with them, I held my place and stood around patiently. After several minutes of waiting, the woman at the bar gave me a sort of funny look and asked me if I was with the group that had been seated a few minutes prior. I told her no and that it was just me and she apologized and said I could sit wherever I liked. I selected a hi-top near the bar and sat down. Since it seemed like waitstaff were supposed to bring menus/take orders, I sat around waiting for a while again. I wasn't in a huge hurry but I did want to get home so I could do some schoolwork and so I pulled up the menu on my phone so I could be prepared to order when someone did get to me. Well, after several more minutes, no one ever did come up to give me a menu or take food/drink order. I was very thirsty from my hot day and so I wandered up to the bar to at least get a soda. The bartender who spoke to me earlier was friendly and personable and apologetic about no one coming out to me. She seemed surprised that I wanted something to eat, but amicably took my order at the bar for the "Ultimate Grilled Cheese," a side of Old Bay fries, and a Diet Pepsi (or Coke...can't remember which). The total before tip was right around $20, which felt...high, but I decided to reserve judgment until I actually saw my food. She went immediately to grab my drink from a fountain and gave it a sort of disapproving look. She said that the soda didn't look right to her but for me to try it and see if it tasted like the ratios were off. They were off (way too much soda water) and she apologized and went to a different machine to try again. The second attempt was fine. My food came out quickly and I was honestly immediately miffed at the size of the serving for the price I paid. Don't get me wrong; I generally think restaurant portion sizes are too large and I have no problems with a smaller meal. However, I do like to think the price would reflect the smaller meal size. I will say the fries were only $2, so that seemed appropriate for the amount I was given, but the sandwich was like $13 and it was the size of a standard grilled cheese I'd make at home. Like, maybe $1.50 worth of ingredients. My meal was about as much as a Mac Melt at Melt costs and that comes with way more fries and macaroni and cheese inside sizeable slices of bread rather than just a wimpy sandwich. Hardly ultimate. The food itself was fine, I guess; at least it didn't taste bad. Extremely standard grilled cheese but executed well. Fries were frozen-fried and you could tell; kind of limp and mealy. The Old Bay seasoning at least was unique and enjoyable. I ate my food in like 10 minutes flat and returned my dish to the bar and was on my way. Not the worst food or service I've ever had, and I suppose I'd give them another try, but I can't say I was terribly impressed on my first visit.

When we return to Alabama this would be a great place to go.

Still a relatively new brewery, so still getting going with regard to their own specialty drafts, but they feature other local flavors, so there are good options. The brewery itself is pretty spacious. Love the area that has a couple love seats next to a fire place and a bunch of board games that are there to help pass the time. Pool table in the back of the brewery and three tv's all playing college football games. Prices are good, and they had a couple things we liked. The person at the bar had cooked game day treats and shared his smoked pork belly with us (so good!). These guys look to have a long successful run in this business with the quality customer service they provide. Really impressed and look forward to coming back and sampling new brews when they have them.

That person sold fried fish and chicken with chips it was ok. I think some pizzas would be great. Plenty of beer to choose from their house menu. They have some wine and canned sodas.

We have loved their Blood Orange Berliner Weisse for years and have always said we needed to make it to the brewery. Today was the perfect chance. It was a Sunday afternoon, and luckily, they were open. There were just a few people, but as they day progressed, more trickled in. Michelle, the beertender, at the time was great. She suggested all sorts of beers based on my taste and let me sample them all. One suggestion she had was to mix the Mango with the Blood Orange. It was really good. The two that I ended up drinking were the Duck River Dunkel and the ISB English Ale. I also liked that they had pretzels and popcorn as bar snacks. We met some really nice people and talked for a while. It reminded me of the old summer days when everyone would just sit and talk and enjoy life. It sure beat the fast-paced and scheduled life that goes on today.

Dinner was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. Cotton Row delivers everything you'd expect from a fine dining experience. From the interior to the overall atmosphere, it's superb, which clearly reflects strong management. Alyson Maples, the General Manager, does things the right way both on and off duty. We first met her during the 4th of July parade while standing outside the restaurant. When my wife became overheated, Alyson noticed immediately and brought her ice and water to help her cool down. That kind of thoughtfulness speaks volumes about her character.

It's hard to come across a place that has good drinks and good food. I would rate the cocktails the best I've had in Huntsville. The vibe of the restaurant was white table cloth and fancy.

Walking in , you could see a long bar that you could sit at or just order food at in a designated area and seat yourself around the place. We chose to set up the bar, of course. It kind of ended up being a bad idea because people had no idea about personal boundaries and being in other people's face while they're enjoying their beers and they are standing around ordering food and reaching over you. Ben and I even switch seats, because he is worried about his personal space then I am. Most of the food that was on the menu was barbecue driven but since I had just had poke, I was not hungry. The servers were very friendly when we were ordering and checked in on us often I just wish that they would have kept the line in a more orderly fashion since there was a designated area for ordering specifically.

So, as I was told by the staff, the restaurant portion has been spun off and sold from the brewery itself, so this is my first visit for food, since that has transpired. It is now known as "BUDS & BREWS CHATTANOOGA", part of a larger group out of Nashville, I was told. The bar/brewery looks the same, there is the same helpful staff, but in all honesty, the food just isn't as good. The pulled pork, was okay at best, the fried onion rings, just too greasy, and the chicken wings, just too dry. When first opened NR was the first microbrewery to prepare and offer their own food, and the bbq was stellar, but I cannot make that same statement today. Brews are still good, but if need a good microbrewery in Chattanooga that can offer you good food to go along with that cold one, my recommendation is either Oddstory or Five Wits. I'll continue to come to NR for a beer, as their Moonpie Stout is absolutely one of the best beers you can find in Chattanooga, but like I said if I am hungry too, this will no longer be one of my primary spots to consider.

A simple pre-dinner drink turned into one of the most epic nights I've had in years. The most special thing about this micro Brewery is, it actually is a micro Brewery. The owner and Brewer Carey, only bruise enough for the store location. He does not Kang. He does not miss produce it. If you wanna try his amazing beers. The only place you can go is to his establishment. To me, it makes a beer more special, because it's only intended for an intimate audience. And that's why my night was so epic. When we get to the Brewery. We are intrigued by the multiple selections., and the bar keep, was super polite and patient with us as we wanted to try samples of all the beers that intrigued us. Initially our goals just to have one beer and head to dinner. The bartender was super polite and patient with us. We finally decide on a pint and we head upstairs, because the Brewery is actively brewing beer. We wanted to peak in NC anything we could. We end up chatting with Carey, who is in the office. Carey, the owner and head brewer, was nothing but amazingly nice. They ran out of their tiramisu beer. I asked him how he brews such an interesting beer, he offered to give me the recipe. I settled on just a verbal explanation on how he does it. After him telling me his process there's no doubt my mind that this guy is an absolute genius and truly passionate about his micro Brewery and his beers. Carey it's kind enough to explain the history of the building of the Brewery and some of the artifacts that he actually has in the Brewery. I really appreciate the eclectic look in knowing the history behind everything makes it even more special. Green bus brewery is truly a Hometown local bar. Our intended one beer turned into three. And we were socializing with the owner and his patrons. They made us feel like family. They gave us stories about the town about the Brewery. I can understand why people go back on a regular basis. I travel about 70% of the year, and I'm away from home and that feeling is not lost on me. However, last night having a beer at Green bus Brewery, I honestly felt like I was at home thanks to Carey and his wonderful patrons. That is gonna be a night that my coworker and I will remember for a long time. I hope to come back to Huntsville. When I do, I will be sure to visit Green Bus Brewery. If I could give this place 10 stars I would.
