“I won’t say I don’t recommend as we’ve been there a couple times before and had a great experience! Last night neither of us enjoyed what we ordered, our fault, we both went against what we were going to originally order….we ate it, it’s fine, you live and learn. Our waitress is what left a bad taste. It’s like she instantly had something in her head about us or we weren’t one of her regulars that she had to cater to as she was sitting, laughing and chatting with those around us. Not friendly, short answers and would set our drinks down after being told thank you and just walk away. The only time there was even a hint of friendliness is when it came time to pay.“

“We had the best lunch at Laux Brickhouse today, Katlyn was our server!“

“I've only been a few times but seems to be a fun and inclusive place to meet some interesting characters and play pool.

Oh and I'm sure other reviews have mentioned it but THE WINGS. Do not sleep on the wings their buffalo sauce is chefs kiss 😘

Edit: all the bartenders I have met have treated me with respect despite my weirdness, my kind of place“

“Global Brew is a great place for craft beer lovers to hang out and enjoy some great beers, watch sports, and listen to live music occasionally. The food is pretty good and the staff is friendly. Service could be better but overall this is a great place to hang out.“

“Special thanks to everyone who came out and to the owners and staff for having us Friday night at Tegans Pub House 🎶 Awesome venue with a nice stage, great food, and always a new upgrade! 😊 They now have a 2nd bar next to the stage! 🤘🎸💥 We hope to be back soon in 2026! ☮️“

“The lady there the day I visited was very friendly and gave out good vibes and made sure periodically that I didn't need anything.. She was great. Most places like this the workers don't interact an check on the customers... She greeted me checked my identification then ask if I'd like a drink very friendly then wished me luck. After that checked on me here and there but wasn't bothersome.. I had great time...“

“Had the best experience with a great bartender Chelsey!!“
