What a taproom environment!…read more It's been a while since I first visited Ope and decided to go back recently. It was packed on a nice summer Saturday with food trucks and everyone enjoying their huge patio with plenty of lawn games and board games. We decided to sit inside the tap room which offers such a large variety of seating styles for everyone to enjoy and making it a great place to meet up with friends. We also enjoyed both their N/A and draft options as they offer such a large variety with options for everyone.

We were looking for a location for some outdoor dining and gave Explorium a try. The have a…read morewonderful patio with a ton of seating space. Only thing to be aware of is the afternoon sun can make this patio in the mall parking lot a bit hot. I had the Sweet Thai Chili Salmon Bowl. The combination of sweet and spicy really made this a tasty dish. Only downside was the amount of salmon. If it was 3oz that was a lot. If I had been starving I would have been disappointed in the portion size. Anyway, good food and good location means I'll be back for sure.

We stopped in for dinner before heading to an event at the botanic garden down the road. The…read moreExplorium is in the Southridge Mall although it has it own entrance. We were there on a Saturday night and while we weren't the only people there it was far from busy. The service was friendly and attentive. The dining room is casual with a view of the beer tanks. Basically what you would expect at a craft brewery. The menu had the basics - appetizers, soups, salads, burgers and sandwiches. They also make pizza and calzones and some other main course dishes like fish and chips. We ordered the cheese curds as an appetizer. My husband ordered a sandwich and I ordered the boneless wings. For drinks my husband ordered a ginger beer and I ordered Diet Coke. The check before tip was $62. Normally I'd be okay with that but I thought it was a lot given the quality of the food. The cheese curds and boneless chicken wings seemed like items from a restaurant supply place that they fried up. Unfortunately next time we are in the area we'll go somewhere else. A fast food restaurant would have given us the same quality food for a fraction of the price.

Back AGAIN. This time disappointed that there wasn't an extension on happy hour even tho there…read morekitchen was down until after it ended. But since I wasn't getting the happy hour special, I had a Piña colada. It was amazing, the bartender Blair made it to perfection. And I could quite literally say it was the cherry on top to my day. The wings are spectacular so they were a must. And I may be teetering on the scale to say that the dry rub is my favorite instead of the classic bbq. I also tried their fried pickle fries for the first time, I was skeptical since I'm not a fan of Texas Roadhouse fried pickles. Nope these could easily be a swap for regular fries. Not to mention these pickles remind me of the fresh pickles you buy from the fridge at the grocery store. Line dancing was a hit, another mixed crowd. Pleasant energetic and welcoming atmosphere. Even the host and waiters seem to hype it up, particularly if you come in with cowgirl boots. They opened up the garage door that let in a perfect breeze and the view was spectacular since it was a clear sunny forecast of a day.

Now for the food, you have to scan the QR code and order in the back. I ordered one fish taco, one steak taco and a side of brussels sprouts which is a up charge of one dollar by the way. My boyfriend ordered three tacos with a side of rice and beans. The Al Pastor taco was definitely a huge winner. The food was phenomenal and a perfect portion. Definitely pricey, but worth it. Will be returning for the food and hopefully a good drink!
