Hubby and I were looking for something fun to do on a Saturday night and we settled on Collective Arts Brewing in Hamilton. It was our first time there and it's definitely a place worth revisiting. The front part is the tap room for beer sales, and if you drive to the back, you'll get to the outdoor beer garden (with lots of shade) and access to another huge indoor beer hall. We were famished and ordered from Mel's Deli - the sandwiches were hearty and flavourful. We ordered the saucy and spicy meatball hoagie and the not so hot cheesesteak, each were $19 and came with pickles and some kettle cooked chips. The sandwiches were hot, bun was super fresh and were loaded with various toppings and cheese. To pair with the sandwiches, you can order beer on top, canned beer or alcoholic slushies. I opted for a beer flight, 4 samplers of any of the beers they had on top. There are so many options that anyone can for sure find something that they'll like. And to top off the fun outing, line dancing started at 8pm that Saturday and everyone jumped in! A side note for those with kids and dogs, they are all welcome on site! I want to say that every other table had kids. If you're looking for a fun night out, whether it's date night, girls night out or even a family outing, you have to come here!

Service was quick and my daughter and niece were pleased also with everything. Will definitely come back to Hamilton just to eat here

You can't come here without trying a drink or two from their cocktail menu, with unique creations like "I wish I knew Miley Cyrus" and "Password is password".

Second I think for like 6 months now they are pop corn less, just get rid of the machine instead of it sitting there empty. Also constantly running out of basic food items when I go. hotdogs , fries...it's too bad as it's a small cozy place and sometimes you just want that

The advertised beer special was not available, sold out, but the waitress allowed a substitution. Ordered the steak n guinness pie and was surprised that it was indeed a meat pie, not just stew topped with pastry. Disappointed that there was no steak n kidney pie. The meat pie was typical pub grub. Not a lot of choice for someone that's lactose intolerant. Bathroom was clean, the staff were friendly and efficient. I stayed on the patio except to use the bathroom. Reasonably priced, would visit again if in the area.

Had some time to kill before a show so decided to check it out. Cool little place, felt comfy and friendly with what seemed like regulars occupying the bar area. Server was friendly, a lovely young lady singing, and our drink order was taken promptly. Then it got weird. Beers took a super long time to arrive even though the bar wasn't too busy. Food order was also taken quickly and took a super long time to arrive. Servers shift was done, we paid and were told a new server would be taking care of us. That never happened. As our glasses sat empty, the Mr. went up to the bar to grab another round. For some strange reason 2 beers at the bar were almost $2 more than what we just paid. That's not cool. The nachos were really good (although $4 for the very tiny side of chili was overpriced) beer was cold, but the service was disappointing. For that reason I'm not sure if I will be returning.

Nice location located in downtown USA Main Street cute cute little town. Parking only on one side of the street. Don't forget to feed the meter. You will get a ticket. I tried the main burger on the menu with everything on it and it was delicious. The meat was very flavorful and cooked just the way I like it medium rare. I ordered tater tots and onion rings, they were very accommodating and did half-and-half, but I will tell you if I go back here I would get a full order of the onion rings. Homemade batter, hand dipped, and so so good. It is one of the most perfect onion rings I've ever had. The only reason I won't be coming back here anytime soon is because I live in California and I was just visiting. I was visiting Friends and Family in Milton and drove 35 minutes to get here and it was well worth it. Except for the parking ticket. lol
