Awesome food and beer. Pork schnitzel sandwich was amazing and so was the tandem American stoutParking: Parking was not difficult on a Friday eveningKid-friendliness: A little too kid-friendly. Little kids were screaming and hitting a balloon back and forth in the restaurant while the two separate moms did nothing about it. The hostess finally had to step in and act like the parent to ask the kids to quit being obnoxious

We come here every time we are in Lawrence! The beer and seltzer are so good! The one thing you must try is the pretzel bites--the cheese is so good! Sometimes we get the fries with extra cheese too. This time I also got the shrimp pasta which was so creamy and the shrimps were plump and delicious. The restaurant is always clean and orderly. The service is friendly and the food is usually prompt, would recommend!

It's just loud, food is wildly expensive, and the menu is very small.

We have been here a couple times. Once with a large group, we appreciated the inside brewery atmosphere with picnic tables that easily accommodated our entire group. The other time just 4 of us sat at the tables outside which offered a nice variety compared to the inside vibe. 1. I was surprised and impressed by the menu, they offer much more than typical bar food. The food was good. 2. The huge selection of top tier beer is something to write home about. I'm not a beer drinker and even I enjoyed "Big Peach". 3. Only one negative, the service. Both times we waited forever. The first time with the large group they were busy, I could understand. But the return visit we had a small group and they were not busy, we still had mediocre service. Hopefully they can overcome this service issue because otherwise they've got a hit here.

I loved it there. I went for a change of pace from daily routine and found the peace and mind space I needed.

Great beer and fun to sit outside. We loved the big orange beer. The waitress was very friendly.

I've been to both locations, I prefer the East Side location. The Better is really good. They have a large indoor and outdoor seating area. Perfect if you just want to grab a beer or have something to eat.

Was hoping to enjoy a nice brunch for New Years but instead got a whole mimosa drink dumped on me ( not on purpose but still) my new purse, and my and my daughter winter coats. I had to scrounge in my husbands car for a pair of sweatpants and a hoodie to wear for the rest of brunch so I didn’t have to sit in wet clothing. Our waitress was disorganized and told us she was hung over as she was struggling to serve us. I didn’t make a big scene and asked to speak with the manager after and his attitude was that’s not a reflection of their food/ quality. He didn’t offer and apology and his attitude came off as oh well. We will never go back there.Added to note, 6 adults 3 kids 1 baby. We had two appetizers one drink each and a meal.
