    Can be a 5, but operating about a 3.7. Feels very transactional…read more Bathroom: *** (clean) Quality: **** Quantity: ***** Consistency: * (depends on who's working) Selection(s): limited food/many drink options Presentation: **** (well platted) Service: *** (depends on how busy/who is servicing) Price: $$ (Affordable) Ambiance: (Loud/Casual when Busy) Events: They participate in community events, not sure if they have specific events, but they do have an app Attitude: (They have a good spirit, if you get to engage with them) Outside: yes Brunch: No Happy Hour (Specials): food, drink specials (Couldn't find times) just said food specials 15$ on a poster Closed: Unknown Ease of Menu/Details: * (Very Difficult due to being on a wall and random posters for info) Digital Table ordering: Available Overall: Good energy, service could use a little polishing. It's a single sided service approach causes an interaction disconnect that, meanwhile believes in supporting so many things, lacks on customer experience, service and engagement. I'll start with the pros: they have a quick food, quality, menu that supplements their large selection of brews. The only place that has pretty good Meades. The girls here work diligently, they're very approachable, (some) don't know much about the details of the items however they're quick to find them. They're always smiling and even when it's busy, they are very task oriented. That being said, I appreciate the establishment, its aura, and its local support for community and small business. Rosie, and the former police officer, as well as the day shift, and kitchen staff are all great people and seem to enjoy giving service with a smile and are so nice, when you can get to engage with them. Now, the quirks. The menu is on the wall, if you're sitting at the bar, or outside, and your phone is dead, you have to walk up to the bar and then walk the 15 feet wall, around customers to be able to see what's available. It's very cluttered, random and hard to navigate, especially the non-beer options on random sized/font posters. You have to advocate yourself for service, walk up to the bar, because otherwise you might not get attentive service. I waited 15mins between them conversing with other patrons to get a drink. It's very hands-off which, a lot of places are inline with this digital/QR table ordering and walk up service since Covid. However, the feel this place gives: mostly engaging, service with a smile but is inconsistent, giving mixed results on exactly how to take to this place with each person giving a different customer service experience. So, you can see from the photos it's very much walk up service. Which can be difficult for some who have disabilities, sit outside, and other factors and isn't really clear with the layout and expectations it sets with its environment. I've came in several times and have had prompt service at the bar, but on this night, even not busy, was like pulling teeth just to get any follow up/help, silverware and drink refills. I sit at the bar to be able to discuss special needs of food restrictions, etc. but, if it's too busy I probably wouldn't stop in due to having to walk up to the bar to address each need/order and I'm not a fan of table/digital ordering due to food restrictions and menu ordering on digital platforms that are clumsy at times leading to confusion or wrong orders/bill splitting etc. Sometimes food is made well, well portioned, sometimes it seems like they ran out of food and found bits at the bottom of a portion to affix to an order. I've had to ask for plates, napkins and silverware each time I've came here. Should be consistent when bringing food. All and all, I WANT to like this place. It has potential, it supports women forward, small business, local, and service animals. All the things I appreciate and love. They are clean, from the sound of overhearing they have a great membership club (still don't no anything about it), I'll have to wonder away from the bar to read the posters posted around to see if I can get more info. Rosie, who was explaining to to a customer next to me, was very diligent, helpful and engaged with customers very well but, was also stuck to the bar area waiting for people to approach so, its very one sided experience. Being short staffed sucks, it is a today issue. This place really tries, they're strong, female forward and driven. I will continue to try and come back, hopefully this review isn't to harsh, not meant to be, we only know what we know and hopefully this helps shed light in a space others can understand and maybe help. Keep up the hard work and I will keep returning. A similar place is Batch Brewing with the same format that executes this method perfectly. So, it's doable.

    Great space and ambiance. Open windows and lots of seating…read more Love that it's women owned. So many beer options. I got a flight and they were all good. So many different and unique ones. There was band playing that I enjoyed. Also they have board games to play. Didn't try the food but we will definitely be back to try more beer and food.

Bad business decision. This visit tonight was not our first visit we are there several times a month but tonight was the first time we had to pay for extra for dinning. And to be frank, Frank not sure the Brick House will be our first choice going forward. People reading this you won't be disappointed with the quality of this restaurant my issue is the sudden charge for credit. Now before you get over excited there are several restaurants in the area that do not charge for credit.

Ambiance was dark- like a bar-type of atmosphere- which didn't matter because it was an overcast day in Ohio. It was also more of a sports var as there were lots of TV screens. I ordered a chicken caprese sandwich after being assured by my server that it was one of her favorites. It came with delicious French Fries. The sandwich was good but not amazing. For my taste, the chicken was a bit overcooked, but better than undercooked. The fries were delicious, even though I only ate a few. Before I went to college, I worked in a nice seafood restaurant and our nightly task was to make sure ketchup containers were full. Therefore, I noticed that my container of ketchup was down to the last few squirts. Never a good thing/sound! Overall, not a bad place to eat, but nothing worth going out of your way to try, imo. I see that others gave it better reviews, so this is my experience, Pictures below...

    Pro Golf Fairways on Ontario St is hands down one of the best low key spots in downtown Toledo…read more This place nails the fun without trying too hard. Melissa is an absolute rockstar of a manager. She keeps everything running smoothly while still making the place feel fun and welcoming. She also makes the best cocktails and shots every single time. You can tell she actually cares about the people and the experience, and it shows. I love that the food is simple and exactly what you want while hanging out pizza, wings, mozzarella sticks. No gimmicks, just solid bar food that hits the spot. The whole vibe feels like a party from the early 2000s in your best friend's garage or barn good drinks, good people, and fun virtual games. It's way more relaxed and fun than a boring bowling alley. This is a true down to earth hangout where you can actually enjoy yourself without all the chaos or pretense. Great crowd, great staff, and such a cool addition to downtown Toledo. I'll keep coming back.

In the front is a bar area and the back area was filled with simulation pods. One family was playing baseball and the other was playing golf. It was so cool and such a great idea to put a place like this downtown! The bar area was really cool with a large garage door to open in the warner months, 3 different slushy machines (non-alcohol option as well), a claw machine and cold beer on tap. Great spot for a bar and fun activities to do inside.

All spirits and liquors are made in house. When we visited, they had their brunch menu going on which switches for dinner at 4pm. Will was our bartender and I could not have nicer things to say about him! He sparked up some casual conversation with us, answered some questions we had, and made some great recommendations on drinks! He mentioned their two most popular brunch drinks were the Espresso Martini & Benton's Old Fashioned. We ordered both and WOW! Such a balanced cocktail, nice presentation, and great flavors. Their dinner menu was currently inspired by well known novels which previewing the menu had me wanting to come back. Such a fun spot with unique offerings you won't find at other spots in Toledo. Must try!

With a hang out in the basement feel. Staff is friendly and willing to help. Hot dogs are ok, would prefer a warm bun. We have been here a couple of times now. I think they have great cocktails. Well made, beautiful, pricing is decent for the most part. I love the to go Strawberry Lemonade. It was perfect for summer boat rides. We also love the THC soda. Great flavor. We do not live in the area but we stop in everytime we are.
