I've walked past this place all the time during my days out in Williamsburg and thought it would be a great spot to watch the Super Bowl in.
I told my group of friends to come for Super Bowl Sunday and I even arrived 5 hours early to buy drinks and find a good spot before it got crowded. Space on the couches in front of the TV to the right of the bar opened up and I literally asked the staff if it would be okay for my friends and I to sit there, to which they said "yes". Then come 30 minutes before kickoff, another staff member comes and places a "reserved" placard on our spot without saying anything to us. When I asked what was the situation, they basically told us to just find another spot despite having initially told us we were cool to sit there. Extremely rude in my honest opinion.
Then come kickoff time, the TVs were off sync and my friend kindly went to the bar to ask if during commercial break there would be a possibility to figure out a solution, to which he was bluntly told "we're not a sports bar". It was quite rude again considering they were having a whole special Super Bowl promotion for that night.
The beer was unique and solid but the service really turned us off. Haven't been since and wouldn't recommend...
Read moreMy friends and I visited EBBS for the first time yesterday since we wanted to cash in our free beer tokens. 😁
We arrived at around 5:30 pm on a Saturday and it was packed! Definitely a sign of a great brewery. The space looked like it used to be a big garage so the entrance is wide.
Being an IPA fan, I had the IPA No. 1 and I think it's now my favorite IPA of all time!!! I ordered two more after my freebie.
In addition, we ordered chicken wings that were surprisingly tasty and with a bit of a bite. I definitely recommend it.
Finally there are some boardgames hanging around the brewery, so we picked up Cards Against Humanity and had a blast.
I'll definitely come back to EBBS!
Pro-tip: It was packed at around 5:30 but by 6:30 to 7 it started clearing out a bit, so if you want a guaranteed seat and not too big of a crowd, perhaps swing by during...
Read moreDo NOT go here for the Super Bowl - they had a wings deal but you could only use the deal when the game started which would've been fine if it didn't take longer than an hour for the wings to come out. They didn't apologize for the delay at all and when we brought it up, the server was very rude and dismissive and said we need to deal with it because of how busy it was (but if you have a wings deal, why would you not be prepared to be busy? the wings were literally the only food item that had a deal)
Additionally, the TVs were not synced up with each other at all which made it pretty much impossible to watch. I don't blame them that much for this because technical issues happen all the time, but they were very rude about it when we tried to bring it up saying "well we're not a sports bar". Then why have a...
