I had high hopes that the Pub did not live up to. The 'smash' burger was a pressed patty, no smashed edges, with a slight sear only on the edges of the patty (the bottom of the patty was basically gray without any sear). As the patties were both perfectly formed and round, I'm guessing they are trying to use a burger press for expediency; it looked nothing like the previous pictures I had seen. Unfortunately, the result was a slightly better McDonald's style...
We really liked the food and beer. The decor is fun with the flippy sign, and skylight, and river view. My only issue with this new location is the terrible parking situation. There are not nearly enough spaces, and if there is an event going on next door, it's impossible to even get near the place. i hope they fix the issue soon, considering there's an empty lot next door.
The location is nice. Parking is not so nice. It took us 20 minutes to find street parking. Of course, the beer selection is great as is the service. The food was your typical brewery menu. Fried chicken wings, burgers, curds, fried chicken, pretzels. Nothing special on the menu aside from the beer. I didn't feel like eating fried food and the menu didn't mention if they had plant based patties for the smash burger. They're lacking in the vegetarian/vegan friendly...
