Have heard good things about ESB, and as a first time visitor I wasn't disappointed. Food was pretty decent, and on par with what you would pay elsewhere. I don't drink much anymore, but my son liked the selections that he tried. We were there on a Thursday evening, and I really enjoyed listening to Annette sing. I plan to come back and hear her perform again soon!

The food is always great. There's always a large variety of craft beer.
Vegetarian options: Guaca-Hummus is delightful.
Kid-friendliness: We take our toddler every time. She loves it.

We had lunch on a Wednesday afternoon, close to Christmas.
You take a seat and then wait for service. I've never seen it before, and I don't think I'm a fan. It took a while to get service. There seem to be much better ways you could do this, if you don't want someone waiting for customers.
So, the waitress was good, kept the drinks topped up and made sure everyone had everything they needed.
I'm always disappointed when they have Coke products but not Coke Zero. At this point, I'm wondering if Coke really wants to keep producing that product.
The food came, and the fries were not good, overcooked but cold, (choose the tater tots) the pulled pork sandwich was not great (seemed undercooked). The brisket cheese steak looked great, so I probably should have ordered that as a wrap.
The place also seemed cold, although that was possibly psychosomatic as I was told it used to be an icehouse.
Overall, I wouldn't go back if I had the choice. Glad I didn't pay for it.

Great food, drinks, and staff. This is my new go to place. Loved the ambiance as well. And can't wait to hear some live music there.

Stopped in on a whim with my cousin. She just moved here from Illinois. I have been taking her around every other week to try a new place. And let me say.....WOW had the meatloaf special wrapped in bacon and smothered in mushrooms with garlic mashed potatoes. The BEST meal I have had thruout the Muncie Restaurants.. I come from Chicago where Food is Chicago's Specialty. And it was so great to have a meal here that matched. The Chief is Top in the game for sure. He even came over to speak with us, as I bragged to the server about our meal. This is a Top Tier 10 in muncie. That you Elm Brewery and Chief & servers for a great night, last night. Will be back to try another of his specialties.

Pulled pork was great. Fries were very hard. Food was not hot. It took a really long time to get food. It was pretty cool in there.

good food. wide range of great drinks. top notch servers!
Update your hours on Google Maps. Drove here on a Sunday because they’re listed as open here, but no. We show up and they’re “closed”.
Lousy. Do better. Not coming back.

Everything about this place was great… except the beer which lacked body and flavor. They have a lot of guest taps though so I would still recommend. Great food and d service.

Waited over an hour to be seated, and then waited another 15 minutes at the table with no servers or anyone checking on us. Left without anybody noticing or checking up to see why we left so early. Very poor.
