I ordered a flight so I could sample many. The samples were large. The food was excellent. Menu options extend beyond typical pub fare. We started with the fried pickle chips which were actual chips and not pickle spears like some places offer. I ordered the POKE BOWL WITH KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN. It was super delicious. You can't beat the outdoor seating with river view, unless it was hot like when we visited. We opted for indoor seating in the cooled environment. Staff was excellent.

For sure that's not as bad thing of course. The prices are higher than at the nearby dive bars, but you get real good stuff. At lunch it can get crowded. It also gets crowded in the evening. This place seems to always be crowded, which is a good sign of quality. It's about $9 for the cheapest cocktails. The seasonal list included the Pumpkin Pie Mule. Lots of pumpkin flavor in it. This was made with ginger beer, pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin syrup, and vanilla vodka. As for the food, nothing as special to be honest. It's about $14 for the Baked Bavarian Pretzel Sticks. That's a lot for not that much, and the prices are high on most other things. Great place except for the prices of course. It has better drinks than food. This is a fun hangout for lunch or for whenever.

Outstanding service like Julia's is what turns a good meal into a great experience. Thank you, Julia--we'll definitely be back! The food was every bit as impressive as the service. Everything our group ordered was prepared well and served hot. The burgers were cooked exactly as requested and were absolutely delicious. I chose the grilled chicken with vegetables instead of fries--a healthier option--and it was tender, flavorful, and satisfying. One person in our party ordered the sturgeon special and couldn't stop talking about how delicious it was. Then came the dessert tray...wow! There were so many tempting choices that it was hard to decide. I had the berry layered cake, which was moist, flavorful, and the perfect finish to the meal. Another person chose the cheesecake, and the generous slice was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. Great food, generous portions, outstanding desserts, and exceptional service from Julia made this a great evening. We look forward to coming back!

I don't mean as ambient noise of people talking, but because the music was so loud I could barely think, let alone talk to the people with me. The bar is small and has the deep fryer and griddle right up front in the bar area. The poor bartender also doubled as the chef. There was no other wait staff or bartenders. She was the only bright spot of this bar. The service was great. There where quite a few people in there, including one guy that was making trouble. She handled them, us and was quick and responsive. She did get a little curt once, but I think it was because she was being bombarded with requests and questions. We only had one drink each before leaving. It was loud, the bathroom was kind of dirty and smelly and I just didn't like the cramped atmosphere.

My meal was the loaded Mac n Cheezy Bowl - which was so incredible (especially when you don't need to worry about the amount of dairy in it!!). My husband got the Grilled Cheeze Steak Tacos and really enjoyed them! The taco is made with a mini quesadilla as the shell with a delicious filling. Our server was extremely friendly, welcoming, and ensured a great experience. The restaurant definitely feels like a classic brewery with fun decorations and exposed brewing equipment, which is always awesome to see. Added plus is they have free Tesla charging for customers! (Possibly other electric car charging, but I didn't check) We will definitely be back!
