Cool City Brewing Company — Restaurant in Two Rivers

Last night my wife and I visited Chili's in Sheboygan. We hadn't been there in years. But after that meal It got us discussing our visit to Cool City Brewing. Our portions at Chili's were twice the size we received at the Brewery. And we left satisfied, unlike our evening at the Brewery. We had a party of 5, $140 with tip and we left hungry. You cannot sustain customers with a $15 bacon cheeseburger and a few fries, or an appetizer size Cesar chicken salad or gimmick Mac-n-Cheese. We'll continue to frequent Port Sandy Bay, feed all 5 of us (to food coma status) and a guest for less than $100 to include some Old Fashions, food for the fridge and tip, for service that isn't uncomfortable, TV's that have something other than a menu or merchandise list.

Update Feb 18 2023: It wasn't busy at all tonight. Most people were at the Mexican restaurant or the bowling alley downtown. So my party of 5 (3 out of 5 hadn't been in there yet) decided to stop in. We were seated immediately. And 17 minutes later we finally had a server come up to us to take our drink order, 7 min turnaround. We didn't intend to eat, only drinks. After tasting the red and whites the ladies settled on which they preferred and ordered an actual glass. Mind you the taster "flight" is roughly a shot glass quantity in each wine glass. It took roughly 11 minutes from the time they ordered to have the server return to retake the order of two white wines after being given the order already. We had been seated for 50 minutes. We watched 3 bartenders gaze at a glass of wine for several minutes while the 4th hurried to get the two glasses of wine poured and to our server. An hour and 17 minutes in we tried an order of shots, 4 minutes later our server returned to let us know the bartender did not have the ingredients to make a Rumchata and Fireball shot. We opted for something easier.

We were seated 4ft from the bar........

Our bill at this Brewery for a small quantity of drinks exceeded our dinner bill that included super sized margaritas at another establishment. Still this review is my honest take of my visit, you decide.

Update May 2025: I just heard that a Brewery rep was pretty rude to a student representative of Two Rivers asking for a small sponsorship towards a statewide music program. Another reason I don't walk into this place. Employees emulate the ownership...

As a small business owner I regularly contribute to the non-profit and student oriented...

5th time being here. Progressively worse every time. Waitress forgot about us all night had to go to the bar to get any service. Couldn't be bothered to refill drinks. 100 dollar bill. Would not recommend. Food was cold when it came out. Pretzel cheese had the film on top. Both the appetizer and the entrees had to be sitting at the window for 20 mins plus. That or theyre just reheating food like applebees and charging triple. Either way, not great. The other waitresses were very helpful but ours was beyond awful. The table next to us had the same server as us and she stopped once to take their order and once to deliver the food in about an hour. Made several excuses why she was unable to help meanwhile the tables around us got served and were checked on frequently. When i went back into the bar area to ask for my tab, she finally appeared so i asked for to go boxes but she vanished again and someone else waitress had to bring us them when she asked how we were doing. Off to Macdonalds since i dont want to eat mine or my girlfriend's food cold. For what they are charging, they need to do a way better job. If the owner isn't there, you might as well turn around and go home because you're about to donate an hour and waste a bunch of money on very poor service and food. Probably leave hungry too. Doesn't appear to be any management when curt or whoever isn't there. In reality, based on that experience, any money would've been too much. Also why do you advertise house special drinks and then not make them as advertised? For 8.50 you'd think you could include the 4 ingredients stated on the menu. What a disappointment. I read some of the other reviews and the owner makes a big point to show people that this is an uncommon occurance but it seems like it happens very often and nothing is being done. Won't be going back any time soon unless someone else is paying. I also think someone is creating Google accounts to create good reviews because at no point in the 5x I went there was I ever impressed with anything. Typically when people waste a bunch of my time I get to bill them for it instead of getting billed for it so that leaves a foul taste in my...

Second time stopping in, will update too: Brewery, coffee shop, food, drive through, coffee club, flights. HIGHLY recommend. Will be back! Owner is very friendly and greeted us at the door.
