“We hosted a 40th birthday party here a few weeks ago and could not have had a better experience! The staff were friendly and helpful. The drinks were wonderful and the room worked perfectly for our needs. I absolutely would use Urbanrest again as an event space! Thank you so much to the entire crew for making our party memorable.“

“I have been to this brewery a handful of times and the beers just keep getting better and better. They have a full line up; lighter options, IPA’s, stouts, sours, etc. Every time I go, they have something better than the last time. Yesterday, I visited the brewery and I am in a straight leg brace and crutches after having knee surgery. James, the bartender, was very courteous and helpful, even going as far as bringing me over an extra padded chair to elevate my leg on without me asking. It’s hard to find great service like that anymore. I highly recommend this brewery to anyone.“

“This was my second time there and I hope to have many more. It’s quickly becoming one of my all time favorites. The pulled pork and the hanger steak are outstanding. Sweet potato tater tots and even the potato wedges are also excellent. The beers are interesting too, though I’ve yet to find a favorite.“

“Good beer, good food truck! “Simply Spanish!”“

“Last night we had Charise as our server. She was the bomb!! Great personality, knowledgeable on food. beer & spirits. I ordered half an order of plain chicken wings! Holy cow they were a full wing and huge! They were awesome. They had a little dry rub on them. Sauce on the side. We were on the 2nd floor. Very quaint and had a pool table. I highly recommend this place. It was my 1st time there. I'll be going back!“

She knew the beers like the back of her hand and we had a great conversation about local breweries and beers we are huge fans of! Keep up the great work. Also the wings were phenomenal honey sirracha delicious, and the platter had so much amazing stuff we had to take a lot home! We will be back.“

“Jen served us on Saturday on the patio & she killed it! Her customer service was nothing short of amazing. Her knowledge of the menu. Her description of the dish I wanted just made me melt. Everything tasted delicious. We didn’t feel rush at all. I Love her personality. Thank you for having us. We can’t wait to visit again.“

“We recently had a road rally and this was one of our stops. The owner is awesome and didn't mind the traffic. We had coffees and snacks while there and have stopped in for ice cream and shakes in the past. There are tons of beer selections and cozy seating to hang out.“

“Revamped menu with some of the old hits, and the staff does a great job.

A few years ago - I remember this place being ok pub food that was always a sure-fire spot to have open tables on weekend nights.

Now this place is poppin’ and once you sit down, you’ll understand why.

Kid-friendliness: place is casual with low tops and wood chairs - great for kids

Wheelchair accessibility: lots of low tops across the dining floor, ramp in the back leads up to the bathrooms and the outdoor patio area out back“

“Great place! Attended an end of year gathering with friends. Food was really good. We had bang bang shrimp, street nachos, spinach and artichoke dip, pretzels. All delicious. The service was fantastic. Our server was very friendly and very attentive. Highly recommend.“

“Keith J is extremely professional and very personable. Highly recommend requesting him for your server!“
