Sound + Fury Brewery and Kitchen — Restaurant in New York

So it seems that Circa rebranded and is now Sound + Fury with only one noticeable change, the service was much improved since my first visit a long time ago. That visit was so miserable I swore I wouldn't go back but a friend convinced me to try it again so we did.

First the good; the place is still beautiful with a large space and is very welcoming overall.

Now the bad;

1. The bar stools, while comfortable the majority are broken to some degree and slightly tilt on way or another and this is the actual top part of the stoll not a case of it rocking on an uneven floor.
2. The beer, it feels that the brewmaster is afraid of letting a beer reach its full potential, I found the beers to all be lacking in potential. They seemed like the fermentation process was stopped early or they were watered down to lower the ABV. The bartender told me the owner/brewmaster doesn't like high ABV beers, and that is fine but don't reduce quality for a lower ABV. I love a good session a beer and English Mild with a sub 4% ABV but those are still full of flavor. Even the black lager, which is historically a favorite style of mine was barely drinkable.

As for the food we didn't eat but the menu looked good and the few dishes that we saw did look good, but I am not sure I will be back to try the food as their are just so many better breweries to give my money too for...

I live around the corner so it's very convenient to have a decent sports bar within walking distance. The set up is a bit more modern and cozier and almost every seat has a view of a TV, which I find it to be important if you're here watching a game.

The pizza, beets salad and wings were delicious. The crust of the pizza was chewy with the right type of cheese, and it came out piping hot. The artichoke dip did not. It came out lukewarm and even though we sent it back, it still came back just barely warm.

I knocked off a star because the service here is very frustrating. Even though the servers were friendly, and the food came out on time, we had to flag down our servers at the bar 3-4 times to get basic items. For example, our salad came but we had no utensils. She came back with them and then with ONE napkin, so we had to asked her for more napkins because we ordered pizza! We also had to ask them for water, and nobody was clearing plates and glasses so when our pizza came, we had multiple beer glasses, cocktail glasses and plates all piled up in front of us.

We will be back because we think this type of service problem should be an easy fix and I'm all about supporting...

I've been to hundreds of different breweries and this one takes the cake! The chicken sandwich was by far the best chicken sandwich I have ever had in the history of my being alive. So far everything I have tried at this location has been a 15 out of 10. Beers are the best I've ever tasted starting with the Coffee & TV White Stout. This was the best coffee stout I've ever had from beginning to end the flavor kept on delivering. The Dark Star was the best most amazing smokey tasting dark lager with endless flavor and rounding out the night with Party and Bullshit NY Concord Barleywine. The Barleywine was the perfect night cap at an astounding 15.6% it definitely capped this amazing experience! Thank you for an amazing night Sound+Fury! I almost forgot the pretzel. This pretzel was the softest most delicious pretzel I've ever had. The dipping sauce was incredibly delicious and the spicy mustard tasted like it was just made. This place deserves more than five stars. I hope you have a chance to experience what I just...
