Tried for several days to call the brewery and restaurant to order merchandise for Christmas and the phone lines say call cannot be connected. I called the cafe at the airport and let them know but lines are still out.

Total snob, rude bartender with gray beard and bald, thin build today 12/17/2025 afternoon, from the minute we took our seat at the bar. Poor eye contact, bad vibe, bad service. Unwelcoming attitude. Not the level of service we expected from normal, unprovoked,. courteous patrons. Ruined our experience. Won't be back.

Stopped in for late lunch on Friday. Very busy with the holidays but the food came out fast and was full of flavor. Great beer selection with lots of German styles. Our servor Susan topped the experience off - high energy, warm and welcoming and a delight to interact with especially considering how busy it was.

Nice cozy, all wooden feel with great long bar and full access to the historic Berghoff restaurant next door. The place has a real local vibe. It kinda feels like being on the set of the movie Groundhog’s Day. The beers were pretty good as was the sausage sampler. Definitely worth a stop.

Great staff, food, and drinks but WATCH YOUR WALLET. One of our party was pick pocketed from her purse, the staff said “it happens often”… hard for a restaurant to control I guess but if you’re planning to go here for a nice evening, you may end up without your wallet or other valuables.

Nice place.

Friendly welcome and prompt service. Our bartender spent time chatting with us and about where we were from and also gave us some good recommendations of areas and restaurants to visit. Beer was awesome. Thank you.

Historic vibes and great aesthetics made my stop at Adams Street Brewery quite enjoyable. Beer was above average but didn't try any food.

As someone who was in town for a football game it was rather unfortunate that such a place would elect to close for a private function the day of the bears home opener....a night game for that matter. Rather disappointing.

Cool atmosphere and great beers! The staff was friendly and talked to me about the beers and had some excellent recommendations. I admittedly did not try any food while here so I cannot comment on that. But if you’re looking for some solid German beers, this is a great spot!

Out of a good number of top drinks. Make sure they have what you want. The waiter left us to find a drink menu and never came back. A little disorganized and out of product left me unhappy about the visit. Pretty restaurant with wood all over but thats about it. If it's out of the way, I recommend First Draft.

Excellent beer, bartenders, and brats. German potato salad almost as good as my grandma's.
