Summary: 4 stars for affordable drinks, good savory food, and trivia night aimed at the older…read moremillennial crowd *** My bf and I reserved a ticket for Wednesday trivia night. We arrived at 6:30 pm, which was a good time since the food and drink lines grew from 6:50 pm onwards. I recommend heading out 10 minutes early in case you get lost. Our rideshare drove past the alleyway entrance twice lol. They didn't see the small printed sign for Bang The Drum Brewery on the metal fence. Go down the alley and turn left, following the signs for Bang the Drum at Suite 160 (not 130). Then, walk up the ramp towards the foresty tree area; there will be another sign for the brewery. We saw an outdoor patio and several indoor tables with names printed on them for trivia night. No one checked our tickets, but the staff we interacted with were nice. Walk-ins for trivia night can claim any unmarked table. Luckily, our table was far back so I didn't need to use my ear plugs. It would have been too loud for me if we were next to the speakers. I enjoyed the event and didn't have problems with the logistics. My only complaint would be that questions were much harder than I thought. Many references were geared towards the older millennial generation. DRINKS ORDERED - Pinot Noir ($12 - Stephen Ross). It was good. Normally I don't like dry wines, but I appreciated the light body without tannins. The wine had dark cherry notes. - Rose ($10). It was just okay; I preferred the pinot over this. - Kelsey Blood Orange Cider ($9). It had a good balance of fruit and bitterness with a savory taste. The cider was dryer than I expected, but I enjoyed it more than the other one. - Kelsey Pineapple Cider ($9). It was just ok. I didn't taste the pineapple, but it was slightly sweeter than the blood orange. My bf seemed to enjoy his Lucky Day IPA ($8) and also went for the pinot. FOOD ORDERED - Soft Pretzel with Beer Cheese ($6.50). Chewy pretzel with a dark crust and big sprinkles of salt (but not too salty). The beer cheese tasted great; we ate it all up! - Spicy Veggie Curry Pot Pie ($10). The pie was ultra flaky and soft. I enjoyed the mild curry filling inside. Delicious! DESSERT ORDERED - Blueberry Mascarpone Pie ($5.50). It tasted alright. The blueberries were not so flavorful, and neither was the mascarpone cheese. There was too much moisture in the filling. While parts of the crust managed to stay crumbly, it also lacked flavor.

Waited for over 10 mins to get the order after we asked about it & then said kid had an attitude & reached in & gave us hardly room temperature pretzel bites that were sitting in the warmer in front of us the entire time. And to have to pay 1.99 for cold dipping sauce with our order is ridiculous!

For the price, I expected better than burnt food that tastes burnt. I won't order from them again…read more Not good.

If it wasn't for this establishment, the meal part of my trip would've been a bust! I love their spicy sausage with grilled onions and their homemade mustard on top of sauerkraut!! House made also!!

Masgus Belgian Golden Ale - My favorite of the flight. Amber Ale Dry Hopped - I am an Amber drinker again, but this did NOT hit the spot... Pink Flamingo - My daughter's drink and my least favorite. She liked it and finished it. And I felt that all the beers were NOT cold enough... Pub, bar food available, see pictures of menu. We just came here to try their beers. Atmosphere - Cool, small brewery. Indoor and outdoor seating. Lounge, table, counter, table top, bar, etc. seating available. Tonight was trivia night, too bad we got here late and just made it for the last question. Open 7 days a week from noon till 8pm, 9pm or 10pm. Metered street parking. Today we paid, as I was just too tired to walk 4+ blocks for free parking. We usually (always prefer to walk) but today was a long travel day, but you already know that if you are following. BTW, the city of SLO lowered their parking rates, see picture. Clean modern bathrooms, see picture. Service - Good. Friendly and nice but no 100% follow through. Never got our waters... Well I did not need any as I am only drinking beer. Specials on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. See picture or website. Price - $28 + tip, expensive for what we got. When did SLO get so expensive/upscale? Owner Comment - Congrats on your vertigo company. From farm to hops to beer! Farm to glass. Congrats on your success since 2022.

The space is typical hightops and stools with bar seating and some covered patio seating. They actually have a raised stage for performances.
