Despite the server's recommendation, the mermaid mimosas were not good. The staff was eating pizza, watching Futurama and texting at one of the tables. When we showed up, we weren't even sure who worked there.

Very interesting and fun way to try a bunch of different new beers and breweries in one place. Works like Bodovino, where you get a card and insert it into the wall under the beer you want to try. Being able to do small pours to try multiple beers is nice! Very good labels too.

Very cool idea! Great location. Unfortunately I paid over $11 for a pint of Mother Earth "Cali Creamin'". Very expensive! Unfortunately I won't be back. I can have a top shelf martini across the street at Ruth Chris for the same price.

Ordered a simple pepperoni pizza as a nice lunch and what was delivered was under cooked cafeteria like doughy pizza with bizarre pepperonis that are small and appear to curl maybe I'm ignorant on those but regardless, the pizza was terrible and $15. -2/10

Great service! Love the staff to death, they are always lively and personable! Plus great food and service, would recommend!

The beer was great and the pour yourself was very cool. The glasses could have been cleaner though, I'm not a fan of finding lipstick on my glass that definitely doesn't belong to me.

Love this place! As someone who orders a flight everywhere she goes and can never commit to a full glass of anything, this is my dream! I can sample 20 beers for usually about $10, yes please! Last time I was there an employee recommended I try the PB&J (by mixing half peanut butter stout and half blackberry cider) SO. GOOD. I've yet to try the food but it always smells incredible.

It's pretty great. It's like BodaVino for beer!

THIS IS A COMPLETE SCAM!!! FALSE ADVERTISEMENT!! I want to support this business, but my most recent experience was such a letdown. I know, caps, sorry. Let me explain. So, been here a few times. It is a novel concept: pay by the ounce, however much of whatever you want. To start, they have great decor and a very kind and accommodating staff. My issue: today as we were wandering by, days after St. Patty's around mid week there was a sign out front for $3.50 car bombs (half a glass of Guinness, 1/2 oz whiskey, 1/2ounce Irish cream, typical). We thought, of course! Why not? We "order up" (an extra buck for Jameson from paddy) for Jameson for a dollar. We order and are presented with a 1/2 ounce combined Jameson and Irish cream. So 1 ounce total... not a great start. That is the 3.50 +1.00 to total 4.50. Then we are presented to pick our beer. I asked " what's included?" And they sent us to the wall of beer with some suggestions, where we were (apparently) charged separately for our half glass of beer. We each pick one of two stout options suggested to us. The total breakdown came to the following: 4.50 for a 1/2 oz of shot and 5.00(ish) for our half glass of stout = 10.00 carbombs!!!! Being a part of the industry, I mentioned this horrible discrepancy to the guy behind the register, as the owner sits in ear shot. He acknowledged and did not offer any discount or willingness to be transparent. This is a major FALSE ADVERTISEMENT!!! You cannot advertise $3.50 carbombs on a sign to bring in business and charge TWO and a half times the price. I want to support local businesses but this is so ridiculous and I am disappointed.

We love the food, the beer, and the staff. Many times we get caught up in conversation with the owners, and every time a customer comes in, they are quick to greet them and set the customers up on a tab, then come back and pick up conversation again. It's usually around which brews to try next and what brews to try to get on tap. Just love the atmosphere and the wide selection. It's also fun to pour your own and control your tab. Just wish I could try them all.

This was a neat concept! I liked how you were able to self-serve/sample the plenty of beers on their tap-wall.

Good selection. Prime location. Nice guys. Go go see!

Prices average out between $7-8 a pint on the low end of the list! And you have to pour it yourself while they ask if you want to tip them for you pouring your own drink. Lol! No bartending labor cost, higher prices per drink and they want to be tipped to do nothing?! What a joke of a gimmick.

I'm usually intimidated by all the different flavors and toes of beers. Bru allows you to sample, which is a great benefit!

Brianna Reed

This place is amazing! The gentleman working was very nice and helpful. There are so many different flavors to choose from! The environment is very relaxing and friendly. I love that you can try each of the flavors without having to purchase a whole glass.
