“I went picked Brass Ring Brewing to celebrate my birthday with my family. I choose Brass Ring because I was interested in trying their cask ales. What I found at Brass Ring was a level of customer service that I have rarely found across the food service industry. We showed up at Brass Ring to find that a very large group was dining there, taking up a majority of the seating. They don't take reservations, so it was going to be a challenge finding a table for our group of 6. The owner heard the staff struggling to find us an available table. He jumped in and found a solution. He personally asked a couple that was seated at a large table if they would be willing to move. They graciously accepted to make room for us. This level of customer service has obviously been trained into the entire staff because our waiter was the most helpful and hospitable server I've ever encountered. Firstly, he was extremely knowledgeable of food and drink menu, helping us to navigate it superbly. He also got the entire restaurant to sing "Happy Birthday" with us when it was time for dessert. The food and drinks were top notch, but the customer service was out of this world. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to the Brass Ring. You will not be disappointed!“

“Fantastic atmosphere, fast and friendly staff, great drink choices. We went when it was fairly busy and nearly full and still got seated and drinks within five minutes. The Strawbarb sour and Wizard Burial Ground quadrupel are strongly recommended.“

“Amazing staff. Good service“

“This whole place is basically the bar area seating - great spot for making new friends. I had two hours before my flight and plopped myself down at the first available bar seat to have my liquid dinner. Had a quick chat with the bartender and all the beers suggested were solid. Meanwhile there were loads of chatty folks at the bar area and it made the two hours fly by. Didn’t try any of the solid foods, but the free smells were great.“

“I ordered the pork chop. It was huge and I took half home for another meal. My item was a weekend special and included salad and a desert. My husband had the salmon and liked it very much. We split my lettuce wedge and shared my desert and it was perfect.“

“Had a great time as always at the archival, one of my favorite spots!! Love there honey mead and if you just so happen to stop for brunch there south western is amazing!“

“Delicious well done! On a pretzel bun! Side of sweet potato fries was delicious! ‘Q’ (Quentin) was a delight as our server! He is very professional and engaging! Thanks Q!“
