Coming from the Craft beer capital I made many efforts to try local and when eating nextdoor I…read morecould not resist a chalkboard that said 50+ beers. Most placed I'd been to had small selections of their own beer, but to me you have to really diversity to get to that 50 plateau and I was right. 50+ beers from all over (even back home). Steady changing selections of all craft, some local, but as varied as anyone can get around here. It's dark, small, warm, cozy, inviting, but ultimately weird. Hipster AF. I was glad to see some classic cocktails on the menu which I also tried, but there is a weird bottle neck at the chalkboard as it narrows to the bar opening which makes ordering just awkward if the bar itself isn't open. They do an interesting thing asking for your name instead of tabbing you via a card to hold, but that also doesn't seem to be a Canadian thing like it is back in the States. My pisco sour was excellent, fresh juice, fresh egg white, well shaken, though I'm more a fan of metal on metal and I'm starting to think kold-draft is a luxury as many places simply don't have it. Kold draft or even 2+ inch molded ice has a very unique clang that I like. Ultimately bad if your shaking with glass though. My friends had a few lagers and ales which Hamilton is more known for than IPA's. We sat at the back where it was quite and we could hear ourselves instead of shouting over people. They have board games which I imagine is great fun and even a back patio which I imagine goes off in the summer. The staff are friendly and pretty knowledgeable, but I'd have like to seem a little more eye in the sky control, in that regard it's more barista than bar. On any given night here you'll hear conversations of beard oil, compost, prius', and other hipster topics. It's quietly romantic and dark so no one will bother you whatever your opinions are. If a Portland hipster mated with a San Francisco hipster, The Brain would be their baby.

We went…read moreon a steak Sunday...the only day they theme is steak oriented, although there were also non steak dishes. The complementary bread was amazing. The slices were soft, and addictive. I also ordered Mexican Street Corn that was sweet and spicy at the same time. It was good. For the steak, I ordered a medium rare tenderloin, which was cooked to the right temperature. However the seasoning was basic. The green peppercorn jus that came with the steak was salty. The same went for the Mac and cheese. That was disappointing. It's a shame as the dining room was very nice, but the food weren't quality.

Not sharing that to be a deterrent, just to be aware, because this place is great!

They have plenty of areas to hang out at, and the overall vibe is a healthy balance between hype and chill! Everyone was super friendly from the security, bar staff, and the patrons themselves!

It is served with a dominant cumin flavored Guadalajara sauce and was good. My dh got the special of the day Soicy Beef Mexican penne and cheese skillet and it was pretty good but the garlic toast was not very good. i ordered the burrito bowl with 6 good sized shrimps.It was good and very filling. Couldn't finish it all. The service was very slow and quite honestly not acceptable. We waited a while until we were asked what we would like to drink. Our server finally came to get our order for appetizers and we were ready to order our mains but she didn't even bother asking us. While waiting for the drinks and food to come, a couple of men arrived after us and they quickly got their drinks and even their appetizer before we got our appetizer. That's not very nice. Then our server decided to go to a table of four who all paid for their own meals separately and stood around for another seven minutes after then until she finally came to take our food order. The food server who came with our main meal was pleasant and didn't keep us waiting though which was nice. The first server came by with our meal but stood over us hovering to see how much of a tip she was going to get. I feel that was not the way to make anyone comfortable so she should've walked away and came back j a few moments later. The restroom was clean but had a weird cleaning solution smell. Didn't really like it and wondered what it was. It's a simple casual restaurant so no free salsa and chips. It had a few decor items looking Mexican like the porcelain cacti in planters and the lizard wall handing. Overall it felt like a southwestern pub eatery. Overall, the food was very good. The service gets a pass with a 65% imho and the ambiance was relaxing and food.

It had rained the day we went and while indoor dining was bustling, we chose to sit outside on the patio, which was empty on arrival. Tables and chairs were wet but the weather changed and the sun shone again, drying up the area. We ordered several appetizers to share; bang bang shrimp (yummy), soup dumplings (yummy), spinach and artichoke dip (mediocre - have had better), sweet potato and regular fries plus dips (both very good) and dragon boat lettuce wraps (the crispy noodle and chicken with hoisin sauce and cashews was delicious and my favourite but the lettuce leaves had spoiled spots and seemed not to be thoroughly washed). I took the liberty of cleaning the lettuce before eating it. We also received dirty plates but bringing this to our server's attention quickly remedied the problem. Besides these minute concerns, the food and service and company were great! The patio filled up quite fast shortly after we placed our order and received our food. Arriving before dinnertime surely worked in our favour!
