I stopped in to listen to live music, and the place was pretty busy.

At first, I was having a difficult time hearing the music, so when a spot closer to the stage opened up, I moved. I later ordered a beer flight, and the bartender was great describing the different beers and checking in with me as I tasted each one. I enjoyed the musician despite the large crowd and the challenge of hearing him over the many conversations. Eventually, the crowd thinned out, and I was able to better enjoy the music. Overall, it's a nice brewery.

It's roomy and expansive with plenty of seating and a few yard games. It's popular, too, and will fill up quickly at peak times. There's plenty of drinking options. The menu boasts a number of styles, plus a few ciders, non-alcoholic choices and even a couple of cocktails. The best beer is your favorite beer and you should be able to find something that hits the spot. Food is available, however the kitchen backs up when it gets busy. Please keep that in mind if you're coming hungry. Entertainment ranging from trivia contests to comedy to cover bands will perform on a small stage inside at times. An events schedule is posted on the brewery's website if you want to see who's playing.

We LOVE Erin's Pub! When we lived nearby it was one of our weekly spots, but since moving we don't…read moreget there as much unfortunately. The food goes beyond being just "good bar food." It's good food period! Erin's has the best mozzarella sticks anywhere that I've tried (and believe me, I've had a lot of fried cheese). Their Taco Thursdays are also a regular craving I have. Service is always friendly and fast, even when they're busy. Shoutout to Carrie and Kirby - they're rockstars! Personal opinion, I do think the overuse of AI in their recent advertisements is a bit much. I liked the unedited pics of their real food they used to post better than the new cartoonish pics. But just my opinion - doesn't change the fact that Erin's is one of the best spots around! A must try!

I didn't try the food, just had some beer. The basic set of domestics are available on tap. The most memorable aspect of the bar for me was the really strange piece of art hanging over the bar. It was a mirror.... but in the mirror is painted a picture of a couple. Possibly the owners? What gives it that special touch is that it is painted in that late-1980s televangelist style. It's just... odd.

You know what's really good about this place? Their signature 'cup-sized' cocktails, like their…read morehouse margarita, the 'Sinner's Punch' (a house specialty), or maybe even their Long Islands. Plus, the happy hour prices are attractive and the 'portion sizes' for the drinks are more than ample. You know what else is good? The pricing. Happy hour prices aside, Saints-Independence is offering a price point that is a bit below market for their fare, and in these times, that alone can draw you in. But, ah, there's the rub. The food is pretty average, so it's a good thing that you likely aren't going to squabble over the bill. Bar & grille food isn't usually supposed to blow your hair back, but Saints has a lot of fried options that seem under-seasoned and slow to be delivered, sooo not exactly prime. The servers are friendly, but if they have to cover the patio and the bar/dining room, then it's not a surprise that things move slowly. It's a great spot to meet, given that it's just off of I-70, but join for a drink & maybe an appetizer, and my guess is that you'll come to the same conclusion: it's just...OK.

We went here for Mother's Day and it was pretty busy. We had the butter board appetizer which was…read moreokay. The butter was super fluffy and light and the bread was a great crunchy texture, but other than that I feel like it lacked that extra flavor to take it up a notch. We also tried the calamari which was pretty good. For my entree I had the Romano chicken alla vodka. It was genuinely so so good! I feel like the ambiance was okay, it was packed and really loud but I figure that's just because it was a holiday. It was also weirdly dark in there which I'm not a fan of. Our waiter was nice but smelled like he just got back from smoking a cigarette every time he came to the table.

Blackened salmon with guacamole salad was outstandin; a whole meal in itself FYI, they do get busy at lunch so if you get there around 11:30 you shouldn't have a problem.

The food was good. I ordered the jambalaya (without shrimp) and it was very flavorful.

Our group of 13 arrived well before the crowd, but had to wait a very long time for our food. That is especially hard on the young ones. Although it is quite loud in there, we are typically able to talk. The chicken wings and fries were lukewarm and most said their dinner was so so. I had a side salad which was good, but of course I expect that to be room temp. We are going on the premise that this was a one off. But normally, we would expect much better on the food quality. Our server did a pretty good job for us.

The last time we went, I wanted a plain club soda with limes to drink and our waitress didn't know what club soda was, which is a little strange. I'm a former waitress and bartender so I know club soda is a staple in bars. There's an opportunity for training here. I told her that if she asked the bartender for club soda they'd know (they did). The ambiance is always fun and busy. I don't think we've ever been here and seen it slow, which only speaks to the great food and service. My husband and I have been coming here for years and it will continue to have our business.
