    Great place.  Great beer.
    Dan J.

    This place is the "best kept secret" of craft breweries. This was a fun Friday discovery! My friends and I love new places but this place had a great reputation for beer before we visited. We were not disappointed. Dog friendly, small and comfortable seating, this place is ALL ABOUT THE BEER! They are focused on good beer, brewed right in the same warehouse, and with coolers filled with cans of their precious comodies. Secret Lab Work Hazy IPA and Quanta Hazy IPA allowed us to get our haze on. One thing I enjoy is that they also delve into the Pilsner genre. Sometimes I want to go a little lower with the alcohol level, this Pilsener option hooks me up nicely. Finally, I found the Underground Beer Lab to be very friendly and down to earth. In one afternoon we spoke with the owner, a brewer and several patrons. We narrowed our 4 pack choices down to two different beers and the bartender was able to tell us how many 4 packs and single beers their were. There is something special about working with these smaller numbers and assessing the popularity by how many were left. A final plus of going right to the "Lab" is that the beer was freshly brewed 20 yards from the point of sale. Great job Underground Beer Lab!

    Great tasting beer and awesome vibe! Our dog was welcomed with open arms, which is always a plus.

Clean and uncluttered floor space with square wooden picnic tables, which are custom-built to gather around good beer with good company. **Staff & Service** I have been to this place multiple times, and every time, the bar staff has been super friendly and helpful. **Beer** They have a rotation selection of draft beers. Additional beers are also available in cans. The thing that sets them apart is that they offer a choice of up to 6 beer flights (pic attached). So you can really explore what you like. We were a party of four and each got a flight of 6 and we pretty much sampled the entire menu! It was a lot of fun! My all-time favorite at their location is the DDH IPA (called DDH Lies) **Food** I have been coming here before the food truck was coming here, and I am really enjoying the convenience of the food truck at this location. The sliders were my favorite. But the mac & cheese was the surprise for me. It was unexpectedly delicious. **Overall** It was a wonderful experience. There is something unique about drinking beer right from its source, and Willow Rock hits the spot. Highly recommended.

    It's been a while since I'd last been but everything is as amazing as I remembered…read more I've seen them advertise their monthly "flight night" events for some time but never actually had been to one. When I saw an espresso martini and cake pairing, I knew I had to pull the trigger. Met up with some friends and we all ordered food beforehand to offset the impending sugar rush. I'd had their naan pizza in the past and loved it, so this time I went with the one that had caramelized onions and goat cheese. AMAZING. Crispy crust, melty cheese, tangy onions and the perfect amount of everything in every bite. Then onto the main event: the flights! The staff brought over our cake and drinks and were so great about explaining what to pair together. (There was also a card) Desserts were a carrot cake with the most impossibly airy icing, a pistachio cheesecake with chocolate ganache, and a chocolate cake with a light nutella icing. I'm usually a carrot cake girlie and while I enjoyed it, the cheesecake was actually my favorite. Just the perfect pistachio flavor and a wonderful consistency -- so, so smooth. Our waitress told us that the owner is the one that makes all of the desserts too. A multi-talented queen. As far as the martinis, my favorite was the affogato one. These flight-nights are one-off events and the items aren't normally on the menu, so if you see one that looks extra appealing, get yourself there! I've been for normal service too though, and honestly, never have had a misfire here. One thing I especially love is the option to order drinks in 5oz pours, a godsend for lightweights like me. Ambiance, food, drinks, all excellent.

    Such a great evening! I attended the Espresso Martini and Dessert Flight Night with a group of…read morefriends. Service was friendly and fast! The desserts were amazing! Well presented and delicious! The carrot cake, especially was the best carrot cake I've ever had. The martinis were the perfect complement. I also had kataifi for the first time (it wasn't coconut, as I initially thought)! The only sad thing is that this is a special menu and not offered permanently at the moment. Perhaps that could change with some strong positive reviews..... The special flight nights happen periodically. I'll keep my eyes open and plan to visit again regardless!

Since I was in the neighborhood, I peeked into Meier's Creek to see what was on the menu and order take out. They have a service area at the bar specifically for folks to walk up and order (they also have seats at the bar and seats at tables). The restaurant did get a lot of sun as it's a corner restaurant and there is some patio seating. I put in an order for the Huli-Huli Pizza, Pizza 'Da Bayou, and Beignets to-go. The server was quick and attentive. The food came out within 15 minutes or so and time felt like it went by quickly. I instantly took pictures of the food because I was so excited for it! If you're avoiding, allergic to, or do not enjoy marinara/tomato sauced pizza, then these were two great garlic oil based options! The Pizza 'Da Bayou was a savory option and the Huli-Huli Pizza was a tasty sweet option. The beignets were still warm when they got home, but they're definitely best eaten fresh. I'll certainly be back to check out more on the menu and maybe check out what's on draft.

Decided to split a couple meals, including a pizza and some nachos. I think the nachos weren't the best of choice. Though they were loaded with cheese, pork, peppers, corn, and who knows what else, the eyes like them more than the stomach. The pizza was a hit. Got the sweet and hot and it was good. Plenty of cheese, I picked off the meat, some peppers and some drizzled honey. Yum.

This means they were trying to bill me for hidden factors and only explained once I questioned their request. They tried to bill me $850 yo use their line dancing coach for 45min (at most) of work. When I declined that I had my own that travels with my event and also shared that the average pay for a coach is $100/1-2 hours they then shared that the total also included $750 fee for finding vendors for the event. Typical, an event charges vendors to hold a booth at a venue $100-$250 per booth per event (average). I caught on to what they were trying to do( find ways to steal money from what I am owed each event), I then had my lawyer rewrite my contract so that if forces venues to itemize every factor I am billed for. The venue saw that I caught on to their possible illegal behavior( and my contract now stops venues from charging the vendors to hold a booth then postulating me as well for them finding the vendors which is double dipping) the venue quickly backed out of the event. This is highly illegal behavior so I had my lawyer rewrite my event contract to protect me from this criminal behavior and they instantly backed out of the event that they contacted me in request to host in the first place due to the large attendance my events hold. The individuals connected to this activity are Charley Orlando, Matt Vogelsang, Isaac Rubenstein and Erie Events. They later thought it would be professional to CC me on an event email that they are confirming/hosting an event the exact same date that my event was supposed to take place with all the same participants but a different name than my LLC. This new event is also manipulation by using the name "Country Fest" which is another LLC owned by a different individual (not them). Be sure to have a strong contract and and a great lawyer if deciding to collaborate with this bar and their colleagues.

We stopped here and were seated instantly at a very comfy and roomy booth. Our server was great as well, I don't remember her name but, truly she was on top of it. We ordered some drinks over the course of our meals as they have a plethora of drinks to try! Their flavor notes to describe their drinks were very helpful to figure out what you'd like and our server was very helpful with making sure we got what we wanted! Our food was amazing and the price for everything was relatively fair and I think affordable for two people to get the full experience! I left extremely happy and definitely coming back for another date night! As we wanted to be away from crowds, at the time it wasn't too busy, but I felt like even if it was, it still wouldn't have hindered the experience, and my boyfriend attested to this as well for all those shy folk!

It's a great casual place to hang out or watch a game. There's also a game room in the back which we didn't get to see as there was a private event going on at the time. Both our hostess and waitress were stellar. Our waitress had a table of 8 with 5 different checks, didn't write anything down, and just nailed every order. She also had fantastic suggestions. I ordered "The Burn Notice" burger and it was fantastic! Just the right amount of heat, great flavor, their fries are really solid as well. They have a vast selection of beer, ales and IPAs and you can choose any four of them to make a flight. It comes in a wooden holder with your choices written in chalk. Really awesome! I forget the name, but try number 20, it's fantastic! My daughter recently moved to Syracuse and when visiting, this will be a regular stop. I can wait to try more.

For drinks they have a good selection of beers on tap, usually 10-20, from local and national breweries. The server offered me a sample before I fully committed on a beer I had a question about and I appreciated being able to try it before committing to a full glass. The Evergreen's menu itself is accessed through a QR code where their full list of options and specials are listed. My group opted to share the beer fries and they were taaaasty, pillowy soft, crunchy, and amazingly well seasoned. The vegetarian options are a regular part of the restaurant and the fried tofu I had was genuinely satisfying and well done. My cajun pasta was maybe a touch over but I was okay with it since it had my condiment obsession of chili crisp in it. The menu is well marked for dietary needs. A great thing of note is that they have women's, men's, AND an all-gender bathroom. I appreciate the inclusion in the food and restaurant itself. Car parking is street parking, it's accessible via the Centro bus system, and there is an artistic broken-chain shaoed bike rack just across the street from the restaurant.

My partner and I chose to split the herb fries, burnt end chicharrones, and the brussels. I thought the herb fries were delightfully crisp with great flavor. The sweet & spicy smokey sauce that was provided with it was a bit tangy. I didn't like it at first, but it grew on me! You'll definitely have to taste it for yourself. The burnt end chicharrones left more to be desired. Both my partner and I thought they were dry and not tender. Also, there was something about the flavor that we did not care for. I absolutely love burnt ends from BBQ joints, and this was the first time we've ordered chicharrones so I don't have something to compare them to, but I'd suggest trying them elsewhere. As for the brussels, when we first got to the restaurant our friends were sharing them. We tried one bite and knew we had order a whole plate for ourselves! They were literally the best brussel sprouts we've ever had. The roasted garlic aioli and grana cheese were topped on perfectly cooked brussels which I would go back for. I highly suggest checking out The Evergreen, go through their beer menu, and find a new favorite plate.
