So many great shows there from my many friends with bands to some of the best-known punk acts in the country. This location is really just as great. It's a spacious restaurant that does at times have live music. Family-friendly. Incredible service. And the food...big portions and enough to share. I love the habanero burger. My boyfriend loves the Tony Montana Cuban. The classic mac and cheese is so good, it's like it came from someone's kitchen. Totally scratch-made. Those steak tacos aren't too shabby either, friends!

I tried a few different beers, but the one that would keep me coming back is their "Coffee Break" imperial double coffee stout. This was so good. One of the best stouts I've had in a minute. Overall, fun time at Smiling Moose. Didn't try any food, only a slice of cake (which was very good). Would love to come back to have dinner/drinks at some point.

The staff was amazing and I took Moriah's suggestion on The Jon Boy ... so good! All the pizza came out looking really good. You should really try new things from the menu. I heard people just ordering a pepperoni and thought they were missing out. Give some of their stuff a try! Everyone around me said the beer was amazing (I just don't drink so don't know personally). There was a cool vibe. Also has a back room with some soft tip darts. Looking forward to coming here again!

There are a few low tables, high top tables and also seating at the bar. There are several of Yellow Bridge's brews on tap, but they also have options for things like ciders and wines for those that might not like beer. They have a nice variety of beers, it seems like many are on the lighter side of things. If you come, make sure you are hungry and order a pizza! They are absolutely delicious! They have several combinations/flavors or you can customize your own. I tried the fun guy since I was alone and my husband and kids won't eat mushrooms. Figured I would try something I could keep completely to myself! It was packed with flavor and ingredients and was perfection. If you are ordering pizza, allow yourself time because they are made to order and this place gets busy. People also order them for pickup, so even if it isn't busy inside, the kitchen might be busy. Overall, a great spot for a tasty pizza or just a beer (or both).

We go to Recon which is located in the Meeder community. Free parking. Big field outside for kids to run. Phones got charged and I got a green beer. Four of us adults went and there were enough varietals that we each got something different. TVs had sports on and a good mix of indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor seating was fully open and though my photos don't show it, people were there throughout the afternoon. I enjoyed it and would return. We've been up to the Butler location, but it's been a while and are glad to have one a bit closer.

It happened to be on a night where the…read morehousing development this is in had a large event, so parking was a bit of an issue, but I think on a normal day it likely wouldn't be. Despite a large crowd, we were able to get a nice table outdoors that fit our group. They also had indoor seating, but the inside was smokey. Not cigarette smokey, but food smoke coming from the kitchen. It didn't smell bad or anything, but with my asthma, I was definitely glad I had a place to sit outside because it likely would have started to irritate me. I'm not sure if the inside is always like that or it was just that evening. The menu has many beers, cocktails and other fun options for alcohol in addition to a variety of food items. Our server was friendly and had some suggestions for drinks when one person in our party asked. Drinks (including water) were regularly filled and they were great about our party needing separate checks. Overall, this is a fun place with a great variety on their menu, so you can easily come with someone who doesn't necessarily like or want beer.

The place is small, but very cozy. It was also super clean. The barmaid was a sweetheart, and we sat outside under their shade and enjoyed ourselves. I had a seasonal beer that is house brewed in collaboration with a cancer charity, and it was fantastic - great flavor, very fresh, perfect! My wife tried a bougie cocktail from the bar, and she enjoyed it as well. We had some hot pretzels with beer cheese and ground mustard, and these too were good. I need to get back there for a more involved sampling, and plan to do so the next time we're out that way. Based on our experience, this place is a solid 5.

First, the building itself is really neat! They give you the history of it on their menu. They kept the character of the original space and also added some fun touches (like an old card catalog used as a cabinet). The night I was there, one of the brewers was behind the bar along with my server. It was interesting chatting with both of them about the history of the brewery and the space and about how they develop new beers. I sampled a few beers and settled on their seasonal pumpkin brew. I really enjoyed the creative names and stories behind the beers. My favorite name is probably "beer flavored beer" The only reason it wasn't five stars is that the food could be a little better. I ordered the monthly special sandwich (which was Thanksgiving themed with turkey and cranberry sauce) but I expected more than deli meat turkey, I guess. A great place to grab a beer in a beautiful setting. I'd definitely come back.

They have a pet friendly outdoor patio area and a spacious, high ceiling, industrial feeling. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I sampled a few summery themed beers and enjoyed most of them, my favorite was the lavender wheat. It had such a refreshing and unique flavor. the lavender was present but not overpowering. They often host food trucks and entertainment on weekends. Overall, a fun place to hang with friends or grab a beer on your own and make new ones.

We've been meaning to try Allusion Brewery in Allison Park, and finally made the leap...right past…read morethe Dollar Tree and Driver's License Center in the strip mall. Yes, it's a strip mall, but don't let that fool you. Allusion is a beer oasis tucked between life's greatest challenges: renewing your license and resisting discount snacks. Inside, it's clean, cozy, and no frills, which is exactly what you want when the beer is doing all the talking. And let me tell you, the beer has a lot to say. We tried the 1810 Oktoberfest and As You Wish (which made me feel like I was being serenaded by Wesley from The Princess Bride), and both were excellent. We also grabbed a Buffalo Chicken Wrap and a Reuben, each paired with a cup of clam chowder that was creamy, comforting, and possibly made with magic (or butter, which is basically the same thing). The proprietor was friendly, knowledgeable, and doing everything short of brewing the beer mid-conversation. Honestly, if he'd started juggling pint glasses, I wouldn't have been surprised. Long story short: the beers are top-notch, the food hits the spot, and the vibe is low-key awesome. Allusion has earned a spot on our regular rotation, and possibly a spot in our hearts.

They did such a good job capturing some different details and memorable moments from the movie. The pop-up was a great place to sit and enjoy a drink. Patrons can get a beer in the taproom and take it into the pop-up bar or order the specialty drinks. If you're looking for a cool holiday experience, this is definitely worth checking out.

He allowed us to sample a few beers and made suggestions to help us choose. There were a few hazy options as well as a black IPA. There is food onsite, which is supplied by sandwich shop Long Story short. The menu includes soft pretzel, pizza and a quesadilla. We had the quesadilla which was filled with tasty seasoned shredded beef. Also had the pretzel which came with mustard but surprisingly not beer cheese! The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. There is a nice outdoor space that we will check out when it gets a bit warmer. Glad we found this place and look forward to visiting again soon!

They also have 2 tvs around the room, giving you the ability to watch sports. This made for a super comfortable atmosphere to relax and enjoy time together. Their menu at this location is a bit limited, especially if you want something on draft. Their stout beers and IPAs are all on tap but lagers are only available in can and only 4 options. I ordered the Lil Cinder out of the can, which was a wonderfully cheap $3. It's one of my favorites at their other location and was happy it had a consistent smooth and refreshing taste out of the can too. I would have liked some more beer options, like sour or wheat beers, but understand it's only the taproom.
