He needed to…read morestop and pick up some supplies, and as this place was close to a spot where we met friends for lunch, we headed over. Artisan Home Brew is a business that has been here for quite some time, which says something in the era of home brew becoming popular, then fading from popularity. Lots of places sprung up during that time, then closed as demand dropped. That they have survived shows their dedication to the art of home brewing and their understanding of who their customer is and what they're looking for. This is not a fancy place, nor is it a place for people to stop and pick up a six pack. They don't sell beer, just all the ingredients and supplies, along with some supplies for wine making. They have some beginner supplies, kits and such, though this is a small part of their inventory. It's an old space with clean swept wooden floors and exposed beam ceilings, part of which have coasters from various craft breweries stapled. Shelves are unadorned, lined with various items, bins of different grains line one wall. The staff are quite knowledgable and friendly, with a club-like atmosphere where discussing the craft is as important, if not more important, then selling the product. Lion joined in on the banter, then made his purchase with a firm handshake and a thanks from both. I have a feeling this is going to become a place he visits often.

Our server was great and attentive, the food was really good! We ordered the Caesar salad, calamari, chicken with crab, veal saltimbocca, pasta with shrimp and crab, pasta with meatballs (the person who ordered didn't care for the meatballs but is very particular), baked salmon, and chicken parm dinner. Only issue I would address is that some of the parties food came out at least 5 minutes before the others (about 1/2 the party) which made it awkward. Otherwise, a great experience and all want to return!

We stopped in here for a late lunch and were hoping for a 4+ star dining experience…read more That did not happen. My dining partner ordered the bolognese and was very happy with that. I ordered the wild mushroom papperdelle. There was no evidence of wild mushroom in this dish. The papperdelle ate plain. The mushroom "ragu" was sliced button mushrooms that were barely sautéed in a watery/ milky broth (not creamy) as if they did not cook the water out of the mushrooms. The Parmesan was added on top at the table to both dishes. Was there a hint of truffle? Maybe in some truffle oil-maybe. The dish was grossly underseasoned. Not a dish I would reorder. I also ordered the octopus appetizer salad. The octopus was seasoned with harissa (not quite Italian but ok). Unfortunately it was slightly overcooked leaving it chewy. The greens were well-dressed arugula. Again not a dish I would reorder. Our waiter was doing double duty in the kitchen while the bus girl was bussing the table so fast she took our flatware before we could pack up our leftovers while tossing the dessert menus on the table. Just did not get a welcoming vibe and would not return.

Stopped by for dinner and a beer in the Bottle Room, which shares its kitchen with Station Taproom…read more(and doesn't seem to have its own page). We made the trek up from Wilmington after seeing that the Bottle Room's tap list included a unique beer from a Knoxville brewery that we'd loved at a beer fest but had never found in our area since (Xul's PBJ Mixtape sour beer, a delicious and mind-blowing sour that somehow genuinely tastes like peanut butter, grape jelly, and white bread!). Props to Bottle Room for sourcing from both local microbreweries, but also from other delicious breweries around the country! Since our goal was beer, we hadn't put much thought into the food, so we were very nicely surprised that every bite was delicious, and we're already scheming which of our PA friends might want to meet us there in the future. We started with their tuna tostada special --- won ton chips with tuna poke, edamame, avocado, and some sort of wasabi dressing. This was challenging to eat, but absolutely worth the mess. Husband ordered their smash burger with truffle fries, which was a very solid and flavorful burger, and the truffle fries had excellent texture and flavor. I opted for their Ratatouille special, which offered the usual vegetable medley served over zucchini bread (a unique touch!) with burrata. The zucchini bread was a little bit sweet and a little soft, but the overall flavors came together nicely. We were happy to learn they offer crowlers as well, so you can take your favorite beers to go!

Restaurant Rating: 4/5 Service Rating: 4/5…read moreFood Rating: 3/5 Parking: Free Parking Lot Restaurant: This restaurant is quite fascinating, as it is housed in a former firehouse. There's plenty of seating available, including options in the bar area and outside. Service: The service was good; our waitress was attentive and professional. Food: Here's what we ordered: *Chips and Queso: Just okay for the price; any store-bought queso would do the job. *Beer Battered Fish: Very good. *Achiote Shrimp: Very good. *Side of Fries: Cold and stale. It seemed like the fries were cooked too early and left sitting out before being served. Conclusion: If you're craving tacos and don't have other options nearby, this place will do. However, it's not really worth the price, with small tacos costing around $6-$8.50 each. There also seems to be a common complaint about food coming out cold, likely due to poor temperature control or coordination in the kitchen.

5 stars - Incredible Sports Bar Experience with Amazing Entertainment!…read moreWhat an afternoon and evening at PJ's in Downingtown! The place was packed with an electric atmosphere - we caught the World Baseball Classic, college football, Flyers hockey, and golf all at once. Talk about a sports lover's paradise! The absolute highlight? Irish dancers performing in the restaurant! What a fantastic surprise from the management team - truly made the experience special and memorable. The service was top-notch from start to finish. We started with two very attentive bartenders, and by 4:30 PM they had ramped up to at least four bartenders working the bar. These folks were pouring drafts and mixing cocktails with serious speed and flair - think Tom Cruise in "Cocktail"! Even with the crowd, they took great care of us. And the food? The OG Smash Burger was absolutely amazing - perfectly executed and hit the spot. Thank you to the entire PJ's team for an unforgettable day of sports, entertainment, and great service. Can't wait to come back!
