Hey look another brewery!! I'm okay with that though; so o…read morestopped in for a sample round and a pint. You can definitely tell these brews are made in small quantities. Which is great because it lets the brewer have complete control over their brews and keep them consistent. I was a huge fan of the Pumpkin Brown Coconut Ale "not a lot of folks making browns." And also like the Plan A which was a super crushable. Definitely a brewer that knows their craft! Absolutely enjoyed the beverages, and the bar tender. The only down side of the place is it's ambiance isn't very inviting. The colors and layout just seemed militant in a way, and not very original or warm.

We stopped in after going to Back Home Brewery. This place was night and day 100% better than Back Home. Banter has some delicious hazy IPAs to pick from. They also had a nice variety of other beer choices but the IPAs were calling my name. It sounded like that was the head brewer's specialty. The one I went with was absolutely delicious called the Iron Gospel. Great beer! the gentleman working the counter was also awesome and good patrons. Great conversation with some fun people. We will be back on our next trip back to the Springfield area.

The shrimp tacos were delicious; I added spicy chile to them and they were fantastic. The side of fries were crispy and a good appetizer choice. The dance lesson was so much fun. We will be attending more often. It's pretty spacious and has a neat set up; when I arrived there was a gentleman playing live music; he was great. He sang lots of different music. Very talented. The staff were very friendly and helpful. She checked up on us often and made sure we were having a great time.

Still she managed to get drinks and food out "which she also made" in just a few minutes!! Not to mention she was cleaning glasses on top of all that! I did try any food, but it looked good, the prices are reasonable, but the down side is it's a smoking bar. That's the only reason I won't be back. I wished ALL bars would go smoke free since most people don't smoke anymore.

Unless you are rushed in making a movie time, do not waste your time. My husband and I decided to…read moretry this restaurant last night (and we weren't even going to a movie). From the moment we walked in, it was chaos. The place is a little dirty, and the roof was leaking onto a few of the tables. After finding a table, a server finally came to our table. We explained that it was our first time there. She brought menus and explained that because they were seating 300 people in the theater, we would have a wait for our food. Since this was date night, we had no problem waiting (as long as we could get some drinks and snacks). We looked over the menu and waited (and waited and waited). Finally, my husband suggested that we go somewhere else. We got up, put on our coats, and walked out. Our server was standing outside the door and looked at us. She saw us leaving and did not say one word to us. If you are looking for a place to have a special night out with someone, this is not it. Many other places in Springfield will value your business. We went to one of our favorite places (Black Sheep) which was packed wall-to-wall. We were immediately seated, had a server at our table in 2 minutes, and were enjoying drinks in 10 minutes. We won't be back. Team Backlot, do better.
