The bartender was rude. When we asked for a second taste he said 'I'm not going to sit here and pour you nine tastes.' What a jerk we walked out without getting a beer OR shopping, which we had planned on doing. And I'm an Illini what a disappointment.

Used to enjoy going to Orange & Brew when Vick is the bartender. Unfortunately, I had a bad experience with another bartender, don't know the name, but haven't gone back since.It was on Friday afternoon about a month ago. Vic was one of the bartenders. I simply asked for a taster of a beer that I wasn't aware was over 10% and the bartender went off on me. All he had to say was that he couldn't provide a taster of that beer due to alcohol percentage, and I would have been fine with it. Instead, we ended up leaving along with another customer who saw what happened. I imagine the bartender in question was having a bad day.That said, I do like to go to Orange & Brew because you always have something different there that I wouldn't otherwise have a chance to try. You definitely do have a good selection of craft brews.

Always easy-going bartenders with lots of local craft beers on tap, plus a good selection of bottle and cans. Ciders and NA beers as well. Bartenders will give you a taster before you buy a 5 or 12 oz pour. Customers friendly too, sit right at the bar or outside at tables under umbrellas and strike up a conversation. Board games are available inside. Seen beer drinking parents bring their little kids sometimes. You can bring your well-mannered dog inside too.

Always great choices on tap, and great wall of options to take home and tons of new beer releases each week! It's amazing people and great time enjoying a local craft beer. Supporting local is so important! Go Illini!

Incredibly great staff across the board. Great tap list with some rare gems with a huge range of to-go beers. Whats not to like?

A nice little tap room with an excellent selection of rare craft beers. It's very handy to be able to pick and choose 1 of 2 cans/bottles of a certain beer and mix and match what you're getting without buying a full 4 or 6 pack. They also have a little bar to sit at with a few taps. It's in a good location downtown that is easy to access.
Great beers on
