    Right from the moment we walked in, we noticed a pretty distinct aroma that seemed to carry over from the connected brewery. Unfortunately, it wasn't the most pleasant scent and it definitely lingered throughout the dining area, which made it a little hard to fully settle in and enjoy our time. On the bright side, your space is incredibly spacious, which is really great and we loved that you offer a fantastic selection of both beers and mixed drinks to choose from. We decided to sample quite a few things from the menu some classic sushi, shrimp fried rice, a shrimp tempura roll, orange chicken, spring rolls, and, of course, the yummy yummy roll. The shrimp fried rice was decent we noticed it featured some really generous, larger shrimp, which was a unique touch compared to what we usually find elsewhere. The shrimp tempura roll was tasty, though we were a little surprised by the presentation with the rice on the inside and seaweed on the outside just an unexpected twist. Flavor wise, the orange chicken was delicious, but the chicken itself was incredibly crunchy, almost to an extreme. The spring rolls were definitely a hit and very good. However, the absolute highlight was the yummy yummy roll it was genuinely excellent and came in a really nice portion size. Service was pretty good considering how busy it seemed. Our server was really hustling with quite a few tables, and we even saw what looked like the owner or a manager pitching in to help, which was great to see everyone working hard. Truth be told, we ended up rushing our meal a bit mostly because of that pervasive brewery smell. It's a shame, especially since we were specifically looking for dining options in the area and there weren't many other choices around.

    A beautiful awesome day amazing people of the world. Today we are at the Small City Tap House in Sandusky, Ohio. A fusion joint that combines Asian and American cuisine. We're here due to a recommendation so let's get the food review started shall we. First up is the Meatball Banh Mi. The soup was tomato based, it was mid. Then I built myself a banhmi with a meatball and the pickled veg. It didn't hit, but not bad either 6.7/10 The Grilled Lemongrass Beef on the other hand was wonderful. All that wonderful viet forward flavor that I adore is present on the meat. Wrap all that up together with the picked veg and I am in my happy place. 8.9/10 The place is pretty nice with that industrial historic feel. The service is on point and the beverages were refreshing. If you're ever in Sandusky, do give this place a go at it and lemme know what you think. If you like discovering new places to smash, hit that follow button. Share this review with a smash mode buddy and thank you so much for reading along. I love you.

    Amazing and fresh

    Stopped by for lunch, and was glad we did. The sushi was fresh and delicious! The soup was very tasty.

    This place is EXACTLY what we needed after a long two days at Cedar Park Drinks, sushi, apps, curry - what else do you need?! We stumbled upon this place after searching on Yelp and the reviews were so fantastic that we needed to give it a try! The space is ample and so spacious. Tons of big screens and bar seating if that's your vibe. They also have a taproom upstairs AND downstairs, so their drink list is EXTENSIVE. Our server, Trent, was awesome. So warm and very friendly. He gave us suggestions and got our orders out immediately. He kept tabs on us but wasn't overbearing. We enjoyed his service very much. Now to the food!! My kids shared the combo pho (full of brisket, meatballs, and steak) and it was very tasty. My daughter said the broth was delicious. My husband had the curry with rice, and it was pretty typical. I had the "big ass roll" (that's the actual name ) and it was HUGE but DELICIOUS. I don't like spicy food but this had just the right amount of kick to it. My dad had the caramelized catfish that came out in this cool clay bowl. I didn't get any pics but suffice it to say that it was INCREDIBLE. He ate every last bite. We will definitely hit this place up again next time we're in town. I low key wish I was local so I could visit more often. This place is a gem.

    Good food, good drink selection, and a good location?! Small city is a great place to go. They have a ton of great Vietnamese food options. They also have really good sushi and have some specials during the off season. It's a tap house, so you should be able to find something you like to drink. They offer the tap beers in multiple sizes so you can kind of build your own flight. We love that it's in the heart of downtown Sandusky. The city is very walkable and there's a parking garage close by. The only downside is sometimes they get super busy, so you have to be patient with the service during those times.

    The food here is great. We were looking for something on the lighter side here in Sandusky and Small City was perfect. We started with the pork spring rolls and they were some of the best I have ever eaten anywhere. We then shared a Small City roll which was good, though the sandwich style it was served was less than optimal. We ended the meal with their Phô and it was spot on. Extremely flavorful and full of noodles, beef and vegetables. They also have a stellar bourbon selection at very good prices. The only reason I did not give 5 stars was the service. It took them almost 10 minutes to great us. Once we had a server she was excellent. If I am in Sandusky again, I will 100% eat here.

    We were just looking for something small and Small City Taphouse had some sushi so Taphouse is was. The building itself was very industrial and unique. I loved it! Our waitress was high energy and nice. Our sushi was pretty good as well. Overall, a good stop.

    I Love you with my Sushi Roll ($15)

    Open, airy space with plenty of seating, absolutely amazing food (Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese), and a wide variety of drinks (meads, beers, sours, wines, etc). Drinks: -Strawrhubarb Puff Tart ($3 for a small) - this was absolutely delicious, like a fruity alcoholic smoothie. Strong alcohol taste though. Drinks are served in such fun glasses! Food: -Lemongrass Beef Lettuce Wraps ($11) - fragrant and so yummy! -I love you with my Sushi Roll ($15) - wonderfully crafted, perfect crab to rice ratio, delicious Kind staff, always appreciate when they itemize large parties :)

    Really cool gem in Sandusky. The amount of beers they had on tap was astounding. Food was great, and so was the service. We'll be back.

    Sandusky, OH has quite a large LGBTQ* community, but... Crowbar is just "meh". I really expected…read morebetter and realized that it's just like every other gay bar in most smaller cities/towns: music that is way too freakin' loud, expensive drinks, and the uncomfortable feeling that everyone over 40 is constantly trying to take me home. The service from the bartenders is quite good; they're able to handle large crowds almost effortlessly from the four different times that I've been. The drag shows are quite entertaining, as always, but that's not what makes a club great. If I had any suggestions, I would probably start with the DJ staff: they play great music, but have no idea how to read a crowd at appropriate times or how to adjust the levels to match the room and/or crowd. Everyone loves to dance and have a great time, but I don't think everyone should feel like their ears are bleed when they leave. Granted, this is typical of many different clubs, but it doesn't mean that it's how it should be done. Really, I had a great time and had some great drinks that were over-priced, but that doesn't mean there isn't plenty of room for improvement.

    This review is for cocktails while seated at the bar on Saturday night over Thanksgiving weekend…read more service: Our server was Alexandrea. She was incredible. Encyclopedic knowledge of serious cocktails. Excellent suggestions. Perfect balance between attentiveness and letting us be. In addition, she offered the outstanding suggestion of brunch at Wake Up and Waffle. bar: Although the space is relatively small, this is a fully equipped bar. Call out your best Charles H. Baker, Jr. concoction and I get the sense Alexandrea could put it together. My wife uses a Cosmo as her bellwether and Moseley's hit that perfect balance. My rye Manhattan was exceptional. In fact, I had two. Moseley's also had mulled wine and a handful of other winter warmers available thanks to snowstorm earlier in the day. details: Perhaps because this is a rooftop bar, the cocktails were served in plastic? To be fair, it was very nice plastic, but plastic none the less. Oh, and this is one small space. We were the only two at the bar and the outside seating was closed for the snowstorm. Can imagine it gets crowded at times.

    Food was good but Heather was the worst server I ever had. We had a large group and tough to manage…read morebut she was able to make just about everyone furious.
