Beer, wine and pizza...what's not to love about The Growler Exchange?…read more For those of you who have never been to this amazing business before, The Growler Exchange is a tap room and restaurant which carries a huge variety of unique beers, as well as some of the most delicious pizza you've ever had in your life. I've been a regular at this restaurant for 5 years and I can tell you that quality has stayed the same throughout the years. I also appreciate that they now have a bigger variety of wines and you can also buy beer and wine to-go. If you are looking to try their amazing pizza, their most popular pie (and my husband's favorite) is their Mike's Special which is a red sauce pizza with mozzarella, pepperoni, bacon and topped with honey drizzle. However, if you prefer something spicy (like I do), I highly recommend their Spicy Meat Sweats which is also a red sauce pizza with mozzarella, garlic sausage, pepperoni, salami, bacon and topped with some very spicy chili oil. Hope everyone gets to try this amazing local business, and don't forget to bring your growler with you! PSA for the parents: They do welcome kids, and they even have a changing station in the women's bathroom.

Along with their delicious punny named beer options, they offer great NA options and popcorn! There is lots of seating and just a nice relaxed atmosphere.

Come here a couple weeks ago and this place is great no matter if you want coffee or beer…read more When i first got here, I lucked out and no one else was in line. I got a coffee and then took a seat. As I was enjoying my coffee, I noticed that a large line had formed. The staff there worked quickly and it seemed like the line moved fast. After I finished my coffee, I went back up and ordered a beer. I decided to get the Peyton Manning's Forehead then went and had a seat outside. The Peyton Manning's Forehead was good. You could taste Peyton Manning's Forehead with each sip. I recommend this place for great coffee/beer and fast service

It is just a nice place to have a fresh draft at. 1) Place is friendly and welcoming. 2) Food is available... don't forget you are not there for the food. 3) Overall, great place to have a Pre-diner or Post-diner Beer. Love it! Cheers!

We got here before 4 while indoor area is very spacious and not too crowded yet. Big screens for sports lovers while you can also go play some games if too bored sitting. I love the indoor ceiling setting, almost have an "outdoor dining" feeling when it's getting dark outside! Side note, you have to order drinks at bar while can order food from table. Definitely would go back for another HH!

First time dining here and it was a such a fun outing. My waiter Zach (I think) was laid back and…read morecool. I've realized that younger aged wait staff are the best. They have not been weighed down with bills and the stress of life to prejudge which table will tip best. Older wait staff will ignore your table if they think you don't tip. Smh I ordered fish tacos. They were delicious. My child ordered the blackened chicken pasta. I tasted it and it had a great flavor. The ambience felt like a mini rock concert with the music playing and the videos on the screen. I appreciate not hearing inappropriate words in the music. Yeah, I'll be back really soon!

Not very good at all. I also was charged automatic gratuity And no one gave or showed me a receipt so I tipped 20 dollars extra. I had to call the next day to confirm my hunch. Shady. Otherwise good experience. But at the end of the day, nothing exceptional.

I genuinely thought this was going to be a sports bar vibe, and I was pleasantly surprised to find…read morethat it was a Biergarten and almost pub vibe I was meeting a friend for happy hour and some bites, and we landed on the spot. I will say the GPS got a little confused in the route for some reason and I nearly missed an exit and even the entrance (there was some construction going on) There is plenty of parking, but the parking lot was pretty full. You walk up and either walk through the courtyard style Biergarten with tables or you can go inside. It was an unseasonably nice day, so, we opted to sit outside There is a QR code to view the menus. There are entrees and plenty of apps/sharables. There is also a very extensive beer menu. Make no mistake, this is their bread and butter. They boast an imprecise "99 beers on tap." There's local brews, light and dark beers, hoppy, Belgium style, German style, wheat, etc etc etc. if that's not your speed there are cocktails and non-alcoholic options. Our server was fantastic. She was very kind and patient with us. We were constantly checked in on, but not in a hovering way or a pressure to leave. Our food and drinks always came out in a timely manner. She made us feel well taken care of The drinks hit the spot, and the food was tasty. It was definitely a chill vibe/hang. We were there for hours just catching up, and we saw other happy hours, birthday parties, dates, bachelorette parties, etc Some tips: I did order a couple beers that they were temporarily out of, but there are so many beers to pivot to. Also, our server was incredibly helpful in offering other suggestions, similar suggestions, and asking the right questions to help land in the next alternative They are not open Mondays, and they're only open until 11pm Tuesday-Thursday (and Sunday). Friday and Saturday they're open til 1am. Also, on Saturdays and Sunday's they offer brunch from 11am-3pm) The Reuben was surprisingly delicious Cheers!!

It's been a while since have done brunch and o won't be in a hurry to return to brunch specifically The service was superb, we had a great server and he was absolutely on top of everything which was great! Beers were also great as was the mimosa I had and the kids we were with seemed to like their meals which came out last and they said theirs were hot - ours were not unfortunately. I had the Lox eggs Benedict and in retrospect should have sent it back as it was stone cold! My husband and our friend got the biscuits and gravy and also reported that they were cold - it was also served in a bowl which was a bad idea as the biscuits completely soaked up the gravy and resembled oatmeal by the time it hit the table! We got one meal - waffles and chicken to go and the waffles were inedible- poorly mixed, gritty and so much hot sauce in the mixture that they burned the back of the throat - they had to be trashed ! I love this place but won't return in a hurry for brunch - granted multiple dishes with eggs are hard to time right so we ended up with cold food that did however taste good

We came in a bit after 6:30 on a Wednesday - no one else in the place except for the…read morebartender/order taker. Music was at a nice level! Parking was adequate (no other cars in the lot) - don't know about the requirement for "signing in" since the parking lot is some how managed by cameras/computers. I just parked and we walked in. I hate those systems. The young woman behind the bar was friendly and paid attention to what we said - a pleasant experience. The order was placed at the bar and not at the table. We placed the order and it promptly arrived. The prices were certainly reasonable. The service to the table was great. The interior is rather sterile - but has various accoutrements to some what offset that - certainly not like a pub warm feeling. The beer I order was maybe a C+. It seemed a bit flat, but had a good taste. The hamburger, Grand Tour Hamburger, at $16.50 was really enjoyable. I requested it not be "smashed" ( I don't like smash burgers) and to be cooked rare - but it came out medium well. Nevertheless the flavors of the meat and toppings were quite satisfying. I think I return and find a beer that I may really like. Then that may elevate Breakaway to a 5 star - it is almost there now.

Man, what an awesome spot!…read more Not sure if I loved the vibe, the decor, the couches, the space or the beers better. Basically a bicycle theme microbrewery that has a fantastic lay out and such inviting space with comfy couches and other seating. The vibes are all Breaking Away (some of a certain age will remember this 70s movie). Had a flight + 2 full pours. All their beers are solid and it was hard to find which full pours I was going to have. Their Marzen was definitely the winner both times. If you can, try it before it runs out as it's only being offered for Oktoberfest. The bar keep was super cool, attentive and definitely added to the vibe.

Her artistry and craftsmanship with the drinks were truly impressive. Not only was my drink absolutely delicious, but it was also beautifully prepared. You can tell she takes pride in what she does, and it definitely elevated the entire experience. The atmosphere was fantastic. The live music created the perfect ambiance, and sitting on the River Walk with a cold drink, a gentle breeze, and live music on a hot June evening after a long day was exactly what I needed. If you have the opportunity, definitely ask to sit in Bella's section. She is attentive, personable, and an absolute sweetheart. Experiences like this are what keep people coming back. Between Bella's outstanding service, Destiny's incredible bartending, and Jeremy's hands-on leadership, this team delivered an exceptional dining experience. 10/10. Highly recommend!
