Stopped in last night before a concert and the food was absolutely delicious. I'm not typically one for Indian food but figured I'd give it a try and was not disappointed. The hospitality manager was also lovely!

Great place, good food and beer. I have quite a few tricky allergies and Eric and the kitchen took amazing care of them. Very grateful. Definitely will come back.

The food was incredible, and paired really well with the beer. Everything was so flavorful and the service was great.
If you’re not adventurous with food, I recommend the paneer with garlic naan and the blue comet IPA. 11/10

Always a great time at Widowmaker! The food is delicious and the service is wonderful. I recommended trying the tater tots, the indian-fusion menu is amazing! You will not regret coming here.

I live close by, but just finally visited this week when a pro-housing community organization held its holiday party there. What a great place! I loved the beer (their offering included a couple of dark lagers that were wonderful and unusual for this area). And Atama, the in-house food purveyor, provided a delicious assortment of small plates. My spouse and I both want to go back and hang out in the nice comfy chairs on a quiet winter evening.
We love Widowmaker. The beer is tasty, the vibes are so cool, and the new Aatma indian food is to DIE for (favorite’s include the garlic naan and general rao’s chicken). Above all else, though, we love the staff!! Repeat customers since the summer strictly because of the happy welcoming vibes from our favorite guys: Ryan, Jack, and Eric!

Great menu! The saag and korma were fire. The sauce that comes with the tots is also incredible. Beer selection leans towards IPAs. Personally loved the Czech dark lager.

This taproom brewery completely surprised me in the best way. The moment I walked in, the space pulled me right into its charm—the decor has a striking gothic vibe that feels both artistic and inviting, with plenty of room to relax, sip, and savor. It’s spacious, attractive, and has that perfect balance of edge and comfort.
The food… oh my goodness. The Indian-fusion tapas are on another level—vibrant, flavorful, and crafted in a way that makes each bite feel special. Every dish was easy to share, fun to explore, and full of those rich, layered spices that warm you from the inside out. I left feeling like my soul had been fed.
Their beer selection is equally impressive: unique, diverse, and clearly curated with intention. Whether you love something bold, crisp, hoppy, or experimental, you’ll find something to fall in love with.
And I have to mention the bar team—friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to guide you through the menu. Their energy added so much to the experience.
I highly recommend this place. Come for the beer, stay for the food, and leave with a happy heart. Cheers!

Four girls out to dinner before a show at Roadrunner. Atmosphere was laid back, fun, and host Eric was helpful and hospitable, food was delicious and so were our drinks. We will be back!!! Try the mushroom saag, chicken sandwich, butter chicken, and lamb kabobs! Delish!

Erik was an amazing staff member who helped with everything we needed, and this was some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had. The atmosphere was also super fun, prices were great, and we had no trouble being helped even though it was a busy night before a show at a nearby venue. The food was outstanding: we ordered the lamb, butter chicken, mushroom saag, naan, and a fried chicken sandwich, and everything was excellent. The drinks were all fantastic too, whether it was a house made chai, or local IPA. I wish I remembered to take photos of the food, but we did get a fun group shot. Definitely check this place out!
