I must say something first before my review, whoever this Wendi R. chick is below (the "i" in her name tells me she isn't so bright) I have to ask: Who goes to a small local brewery pub (keyword: brewery) and orders a pompous foo foo drink such as a Moscow Mule, in a copper mug no less? Then has the audacity to complain? I'm sorry, but that is totally retarded. Maybe the server "rolled her eyes" because THIS is what you choose to make a stand about. It's not them, lady, it's your presumptuous nature that the world must bow to your every whim regardless of how silly and ridiculous the request is. The really sad part is, they can make the drink, you just needed it served from a copper mug so everyone can point and say how hip and cool you are.
As far as this BREWERY goes, they serve some mighty tasty beers. The staff is 100% engaging and friendly, from the bartender to the wait staff. The owner/manager even took the time to talk and spent 20 mins explaining his brewing process and how he shops local for certain hops. A very friendly and open guy who is concerned about his customers experience. I even met the chef and talked to him about his Mango Habenero wing sauce of the day. Where does that happen?
Real beer people search out these "holes in the wall" and its a treasure to find such an inviting place a mile from my house. That snooty women thinks a corporate chain is superior to a local team working hard to earn your business. They know you can go somewhere else. That's how mom and pop businesses thrive in a saturated market. They survive by carving a niche out for themselves and doing it the right way for the people who appreciate their efforts.
Don't let this sour, pretentious woman's review sway you in any way. You don't go to Disneyland then complain there is...
Read moreThis restaurant I have been going to for a very long time. I discovered the restaurant because of the address on the can of blood orange IPA that they sell at sprouts. The food is fantastic! Recently they have become under new management/or ownership. And I can tell because things have changed. The service they are very attentive to detail. We go there because of the food, right? But when you order small things like ranch for your fries or sides they get the job done. They check up on you to make sure everything is OK and to your satisfaction. This restaurant has had many facelifts more than Michael Jackson. Since I have been bringing my family to this restaurant. My family decided one day they don’t wanna go here anymore because of old management and ownership changes, But I continued to show up by myself. This restaurant is a Hidden Gem…, and the logo is fantastic, and really cool looking… This brand has extreme potential as long as there is the right people who believe behind it. I am the kind of person who gives a restaurant one star, or five stars. I gave the restaurant one star before and now it is five stars in my opinion! “The imagination is everything it’s the preview to life‘s coming attractions“ that is a quote from Einstein. This could be the smallest seed… But can grow into an empire. I recommend this restaurant now more than I ever have before because I believe that this place can blow up from a Bobby Brown concert to Post Malone! The pretzel bun hamburgers are to die for! And the blood orange IPA, is a unicorn staple! You cannot find that anywhere… it’s the best IPA that they have to offer. But they have many others that will blow your mind. If you do not want to be disappointed… Show up at this location and enjoy...
Read moreI was extremely excited when I read the biography of this establishment online thinking I was going to be visiting a "Czech" brewery/restaurant, having been born and raised in Prague, Czech Republic in addition to living in Prague as an adult for an extended period of time.
The Czechs have one of the strongest/oldest "beer cultures" in the world in addition to consuming the most beer annually world-wide. The Czechs have also been brewing quality beer since the Middle Ages in addition to being the home of the original Budweiser and Pils beers.
I was somewhat surprised initially to get the beer in pints, which is certainly not a Czech thing. Beer is served in Imperial Pints/500mls. A Czech ancestry pride brewery/restaurant and no Pils or Czech lager-style beer on tap? No Czech-specific food on the menu? It did not take my brother and I long to realize there was nothing "Czech" about this establishment besides the Czech Flag and the Dubina Brewery Crest of the far wall.
We tried many of the "headless" beers and nothing was a standout for either one of us in addition to the menu being somewhat sparse from what we could see. I cannot speak about the food since we came there to sample the beer and sample we did. From my standpoint and considering the size of this establishment, they have entirely too many of their beers on tap. I would focus on just a few beers and hit out of the ball park with those initially.
For the record, everyone was extremely nice and courteous and we wish them the...
