Upside Brewing — Restaurant in Sylvania

Upside Down Brewing is such a cool spot. Not only do they have a decent amount of their own beers but they also have a grip of guest beers. For those that like spirits, they have six shelves of spirits and two shelves of wine. Thus, they have all their bases covered. The aesthetics are really nice. Brick walls with hanging shelves of vines for that urban feel. When I first seen that, I thought to myself, “Hanging Gardens of Babylon” 🤓🌎 Unfortunately, I was still full from lunch so I’ll have to return on a day when I’m hungry because the food looks so good and the customers are tearing the food up like they missed a few meals or someone’s gonna take their plates from them. Speaking of the clientele, the two times I’ve been here to include today, they along with the staff have made a dreadhead like me feel right at home. Bri and Jenna are amazing. They were welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable about their craft. As a fellow bartender, these are the types of bartenders that I would love to have on my team! Protect them...

After being a loyal customer all my life, my husband and I were told to leave after we walked in the door with our masks on Nov 18, 2021. The owner, Nick Dallas told us he didn't want our business! The establishment is small and diners are packed tightly. Thursday night was no exception. The place was filled with people. No staff wears masks. There's no longer clear acrylic partitions between booths. They were removed in September.

The last several times we had patronized this tightly spaced establishment, one of the staff announced with a dining room full of patrons, that he couldn't smell or taste anything. Although we are both vaccinated, that concerned us and we finished our meal and left quickly. We learned from a past employee that staff are mocked if they want to wear a mask and are discouraged from doing so.

There's plenty of other pizza places. We'll pick another and never...

Last time I was there, food was pretty good, service was slow but the food brought me back today. Sadly... we ended up walking out. They tried originally to literally seat us with another family at their table, both us and the other family were confused. Then I said uhhh, what about that open booth...??? Which she then was like...oh OK I can seat you there...I was confused as to why we weren't seated there first? Then we waited and waited and not a single person came over, or greeted us, asked for a drink order or even brought a simple glass of water. We asked 2 different workers that walked by if we could please get a waitress... no one came, so we got up and walked out... no one even cared to ask why we were leaving or even said goodbye, good evening or anything🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️, so we left and went to a different restaurant...
