I've been frequenting Bottling for the last three years and it is by far my favorite neighborhood bar and restaurant. Their food just keeps getting better and better all the time and the staff are friendly, chill, and really awesome. I feel so welcome every time I come in (and it's a lot-- I'm a teacher, can you blame me?) and this place feels like home, like a community. Because my partner and I always feel so welcome and love the place so much, we asked the owners (Leo and Darcie who are just amazing) earlier this year if we could have our wedding reception here, and they said yes! They planned almost every detail perfectly and it was so nice to celebrate our big day at Bottling. We'll keep coming back as long as they keep serving us! This place is magical and I can't say enough good things about it. Definitely check it out if you haven't been! Brunch is great but so are their burgers and chicken sandwich! Don't even get me started on their flatbreads and cheese curds (they're...

   Read moreThis restaurant has a nice outside dining area and the wait staff are witty and polite. The atmosphere is intimate and sedate without being over the top or excessively fancy. This is a great place to meet up with people after work. The menu is not the most extensive but it certainly offers variety in terms dietary needs. Of the dishes I had on this last visit I enjoyed the Cajun chicken sandwich and steak sandwich. The steak sandwich is cooked to order and had great flavor. The Cajun chicken sandwich was quite large and had a nice brioche bun and while the sandwich I would say was tasty, I donât think it tasted very Cajun. The breading on the chicken was excellent though. The cocktail menu is unique and delightful and the beer menu covers a solid range of flavors. Overall, Iâd eat here again and would recommend. Also if youâre a sports fan, they do have tvs inside playing...
