Door 4 Brewing Co. — Restaurant in Decatur

Tucked away in an unassuming building is this local spot known among the miliken student body. I wasn't quite sure what to expect as the office/warehouse doesn't give away that this little pub is tucked away literally at door number 4. It's not a neon lit roadhouse that calls you from the highway. However this little pub doesn't disappoint as they open the garage door and making the most of covid by extending picnic tables into the parking lot. There is a firepit, bags game, and axe throwing for recreation while enjoying the fresh air. It's a very likeable place and has a uniqueness to it. A perfect little spot for an informal graduation gathering. At least every other Sunday their is also a nice relaxing trio playing live music. We started with a mimosa tower which has four to choose from. We started with triple threat and tried a cranberry. This is basically a pitcher's worth of liquid refreshment for $20 to $25 dollars and suited for a few adults to share. For our lunch my daughter tried their hamburger cooked well and crinkle fries. I chose a hangover bowl which is better than the name implies. Its a breakfast bowl with eggs, hashbrowns, gravy and bacon and fries. My wife got the Nashville hot chicken and we shared. We were not disappointed and the portions are generous so if you can eat it all you will be stuffed. Our bill came to $68 dollars with 20% tip for three meals, kids drink and tower of adult beverage. With the games and activities we spent 3.5 hours at the brewery and didn't expect to be there for that long. It's not a fancy menu but in my book is a solid lunch location that I wish that l had found sooner. It's a neat little out of the way location that I hope survives the pandemic. One drawback is the parking lot is not big and can get congested but its totally worth checking out. I know that I will be back when...

I enjoy trying new microbrew beers. I also enjoy trying those beers in a fun, relaxed environment. Door 4 hold up against any reward pub that I've seen.

Door 4 Brewery is housed in a former shipping dock of another business which brings a bit of a cool speakeasy feel to it. Whoever did the interior design did a great job of keeping the architectural elements of a shipping dock, a brewing company with the brewing vessels clearly visible, the bar with many choices and the seating all very well balanced. A patron feels more like an insider hanging out in someone's awesome garage drinking a beer.

This decor took some planning and effort, and it worked.

All of the interior design in the world would be pointless, however, if the beer didn't hold up. It absolutely does. Door 4 had more of their own various beers than I could taste my way through in one evening and an impressive selection of guest beers. They also keep some boring ones around if you are with a friend that always needs his favorite mass market comfort beer. The brew team does a great job balancing flavors and making some very drinkable and tasty beers in several different styles.

I will certainly be back. I understand that they opened a new style of beer a few days ago and I don't want to miss a chance...

Bartender was incredibly rude. Got an attitude with me and my boyfriend when we both ordered one of the special drink and then a screwdriver. We were polite and quick so I don’t understand what was wrong, also the drinks were commonly ordered. After we both noticed him being weirdly snarky about our orders, I asked if there was a problem and he ignored me. The drinks ended up being gross, not made well. The drinks and food are also overpriced for how low quality they are. I can’t imagine how he acts when someone orders an actual complicated drink. Our friends told us he got snarky with them too for no reason. Good to know I can cross this place off my list, flies were swarming around us as we ate outside so it’s not even a good place to hang out...
