Out for a an impromptu Friday date night and decided to try Nocturnal Bloom, which hubby gushed…read moreabout a couple months back. The place is light and bright, with high ceilings and decorated in warm industrial chic. Lots of different seating-bar height with stools, long picnics with benches, padded booth type (one side only) with cool 2020 mid century modern black chairs, along with a couple small cool triangular tables. Outlets for chargers here and there too, a nice amenity. A bit pricey, both beer and food, but considering what they must have sunk into this amazing space, I get it. Now for the beer and food. We got a flight of four beers to start, $15. A bit steep for a flight based on previous experiences. While I loved the coconut porter and hubby loved the Black IPA, the other beers were ok. It is a new place (any microbrewery that is less than 2 years old, imho), so cutting them slack. You can tell things will just continue to get better. The Acorn food was pretty good. Ordered the smashed kofta burger, which was amazing and like $16. With a small order of waffle fries, $23. So a bit spendy. I'd get the burger again, but I'd skip the fries. The menu has other interesting items I can't wait to come back and try. Bar staff a bit absent, took hubby 10 minutes to place the flight order. And they were not slammed. Acorn guy and bartender were very friendly though, always a plus. Super clean everywhere, another huge plus. Eclectic music, nothing too harsh or sedating. The outdoor seating looks like fun, with patio lights, picnic tables and Adirondack chairs, will be fun to check out when the weather gets nice. Overall, looking forward to coming back!

The beer list is impressive and the beers that we ordered were delicious. The king pyrus had a great peach flavor that my husband loved (he normally goes for an IPA but absolutely loved this Belgium), and I ordered the watermelon gose, which was reminiscent of a sour. The venue is super neat - there is plenty of indoor seating and they have a great outdoor space when the weather allows. This is one of the more kid-friendly breweries in the area, which is great for our phase of life!

After an hour and 15 minutes we finally started getting food. Burrito bowls had like 5 corn chips in them? What is there a shortage of corn chips? Beers were warm, and you have tables outside with not enough chairs so our only option was the tent. Every time this place gets busy it just falls into total chaos. Made a mistake coming here again.

When we ordered, the bartender didn't drink which made it hard to know what certain beers taste like, but honestly, no judgement because he did the right thing and offered tastes of beer which was awesome and helpful! So service wise I would say great! The beer tasted really good as well and was decently priced. They had a bourbon barrel stout which was pretty good and newly released. The biggest issue we had was with the food. I ordered the spam sandwich with chips and my wife ordered the chicken quesadilla. While the food was cheap, the quality of the food also seems that way too based off what we ordered. The spam sandwich was supposed to be teriyaki flavored, and didn't get any of that. There wasn't a lot of thousand island dressing on it too, which made the sandwich dry. The chips that were served were clearly out of a bag as they were cold, which made it seem like I could have just gotten a bag myself. I would have paid a few dollars extra to get something fresh like fries. While spam comes from a can and I know this, my wife's chicken quesadilla had chicken that was clearly from a can - it was sopping wet, and the meat was very chunky, and very salty. This made us worry the rest of the food may not be very fresh. While we did have that experience, I will say the pretzel bites were really good and did seem fresh, and they were sourdough! So that was nice. I think this place has very good beer, and a really cool bar setup with a nice stage, arcade machines, and much more. However, I wouldn't come back here for lunch. Instead, I would make food at home. I would highly recommend more fresher options, and I would pay a little more for better quality food.

Since they allow dogs, we walked down there and had dinner. We only had a few minute wait so they could set up our table and then we were seated. You order at the counter so we got an order of spinach dip and the one of their flatbread pizzas. The pizza was good! Service was a little slow but it was a Saturday night. Unfortunately we never got our spinach dip. A girl came around and said it was sent out and then given to another table. They also said they'd refund it but I've still yet to see a refund on my credit card. I even asked the bartenders about it and they said they'd take care of it but still nothing. So I guess I'm out the money. I'd recommend d the place but their wait staff seems a bit chaotic and frazzled so I guess just be prepared for that.
