The raw, unfinished walls and rustic seating are a nice touch at WhichCraft. They serve as a good reminder that many of the buildings in Downtown Midland have a long history and the old brickwork and the obvious scars of change show the character of the place like the weathered look of an old barn. So to speak. Because this is a bar/restaurant, not a barn. Repeat, there is no barn. It was just an analogy. Never mind.

Going to a bar/restaurant in the mid to late afternoon is often dangerous. Not in the never-sit-with-your-back-to-the-door way, but more in the threat of bad service. More than once I've been disappointed with service during the afternoon lull, when there are often few customers. That was not the case here. The down-right chipper staff was very attentive and carefully explained the ins and outs of the way, very impressive brew selection and then answered all of our questions about the menu. Our food was delivered promptly, warm and fresh. What more can you ask? Oh, maybe some out-dang-standing local brews. Not a problem. Lately, I've been avoiding brews in favor of wines, but I made an exception at WhichCraft and I'm glad I did. I chose a light ale and it was delicious.

Generally, I include a review of the restroom but this time, I just never made it in there. So, sorry. You're on your own there.

In keeping with the level of service, our very reasonable tab was delivered on request and promptly paid. So, nice atmosphere, good service, good food and drinks at reasonable prices. I don't give five stars lightly, but WhichCraft deserves each and every one of them. Good job, people!
