Friend and I went for Tune Trivia (we lost) and had a fantastic time. Cool space, easy parking, and great people.
Bartenders were able, eager, and willing to engage my friend (with minimal beer knowlege) as to what might suit her palette.

Excellent flavor...

Messed up the...
Read moreFirst time at Grainworks. Good beer and selection 5 star. However, the food that's offered is subpar. I include this as part of your review since they are located in your establishment.
They've received a review and strongly recommend changes should be made. "Got the flight mac and cheese, Saratoga chips, and loaded fries. Mac and cheese was cold and took it back. Second time cold again. Saratoga chip burnt took it back, and the whole bin that was cooked is burnt. Loaded fries were just ok. Cheese sauce is not seasoned. At least if you're going to use an off brand velvet season it...
