Since the place is kind small, the seating is communal (it can get tight). There were a few fruit flys when we first walked up to the taps. (I have to be honest) However the atmosphere was still smooth it was great big portion of chicken / fries and they were very tasty. I definitely would be back. My video i didn't save so I'll post pictures after my next visit.

Inattentive staff, more so during #late night when their friends are dropping by. Warrants a review if happens more than 4 times when it’s not busy and you have to wait for someone to ‘play cool’ or chitchat.
Only thing working for late night is they have great security guys cause, well, #downtown and the dim light to shadow your disgruntled eye rolls.
Most of the personality is already meh, at the very least they could meet the bare minimum and …
I really hope these guys #dont come with to the new East Bay Spice

I went to tap in last night had a great time, food was amazing but when I woke up this morning my card was charged twice. 2 different transaction amounts leaving my card negative. I've been trying to call the lounge for the last hour and no one is answering. They keep hanging the calls up.

Food was really good. The server came across very impatient. It was my first time, so it took a few minutes to check out the menu. Other than that, I enjoyed everything else.

I had a really good grilled chicken sandwich for lunch.

Overpriced, though average for the location I suppose! Had a great time but nothing special so I wouldn't go out of my way to visit, but would happily return if passing if front of it again!
What an interesting concept…. It amounts to a self serve credit card for beer. Great variety, pour a taste, try another…….what fun! The staff was quite lovely, attentive as well. The menu includes all manner of options although I went for the beer. The pizza was very tasty, aromatic, so two thumbs for the ‘za but can’t say much more than that for food. Atmosphere was dark, club-like, so not the place for bright and airy (but we’re talking beer drinking here so….. who cares!)

Arrived a little before 6, waited a few minutes before we got seated (after getting told the tap room was full but they had a few tables available in the bar area), then simply got ignored. We left at 6:30 without even getting asked if we were ready to order that whole time. Maybe the drinks and food are great, but we never even got the chance to find out.

The service was ok the food was good. I was planning to leave a 4 or 5 star review. However, I noticed in the bill they charged me $2 for tap card that they forced me to use to the pour my own beer in self-served tap room! Ok I am fine helping myself with beer and pay per ounce but I don't remember this $2 being disclosed anywhere. I know it's just $2 but I felt I was just ripped off. AND OF COURSE the base tip option was %20 with self served beer and waitress putting food we ordered in seats where clearly no one was sitting but just convenient to place the food...

I've been a regular at this bar, as well as at East Bay Spice Company. I was quite disheartened to see a negative review from Shay that criticized the bartender, who I believe did nothing wrong.
To provide some context, I’m a Black male who was having a great time with a friend, and I was using the N-word quite loudly throughout the night. The bartender asked me to tone it down, but I didn't. Later, when a young lady asked where is the restroom, he jokingly asked "do you know the password." Whether that was the most appropriate joke is debatable. However, I recognize that my loud use of the word may have contributed to the misunderstanding.
I've known this bartender for over two years, since my junior year in college, and I specifically go to the bar on the days he works. I want to apologize for any misunderstanding or discomfort caused to the young lady. And hopefully clarify what happened.
