Melvin Brewing Eureka

Does anyone know when you can possibly go to this place!???? The hours say they are open until 9 on Sundays- we called at 5 and asked about a group of 10 and they were closing, tonight we went and there were so many empty tables but our group of 6 was turned away and the old they wouldn’t be able to accommodate us tonight. It’s a Saturday night at 7 when can you accommodate us?!?!?

The service, food and beer are superb. Nice big space with lots of cool vintage video games and good that is amazing. The pizzas are great! Super service makes this a place to visit asap. The beers are super tasty!

Quite possibly the rudest staff I've ever had in my adult life. The hostess was rude, server was rude, and the food runner was rude! Our group of 6 will never return. Food prices are too high to be treated disrespectfully. So incredibly sad. They will not stay in business treating customers so poorly.

I know this brewery is child friendly and all, but kids sitting at the bar? That’s going too far.

We came in for the "market" on Saturday. I had the wings with korean bbq and I tried the octoberfest. The wings were good, I would order them again if I were convinced to give this place a second chance. The octoberfest was typical, decent but nothing noteworthy.
The problem I had was with the staff. I asked a young man if I order from him or the bar. The bar was his only reply. I approached the bar where the unsmiling bartender seemed reluctant to take my order. I ordered the wings and the beer, told her where I was sitting. She told me to close out when I leave, which I agreed. When I closed out she had an attitude, I handed her my card which she tossed back on the bar then walked away after handing me the check. I reluctantly left a 3$ tip on a 24$ check. My friend also had the same experience with the bartender, who gave her an attitude after tossing her card on the bar and seemed annoyed she had to find a pen for her to sign.
In my opinion, there are better places to spend money than overpriced wings and crappy service.

Passing through from Mississippi. Picked up a MochGrind growler. A great dark beer that went excellent with the kids leftover chocolate candy from trick or treating at Yogi Bear.

The Brown Ale is very Good!
American wheat Ale and German pilsner have room of improvement yet from my perspective. They have a nice pet friendly patio. That levels all the beer-cons of this brewery!

This place was horrible!!! Waitress was so slow and the other ones just walked around a joked and don’t help anyone ! The food came out and was cold and tasted horrible, we got a pretty good selection but for $150 you would think you would leave full … NOT ! Not at all …. Burgers were not good, sandwich’s barely had anything on them, the pizza was so bad we ate 1 piece and that was it ! Fries were ice cold … soda tasted like chemicals ….. they charge for condiments and don’t even tell you, they also don’t tell you gratuity is added to tables of 4 ….! So why even tip on top of that, especially when the food, service and quality was horrible! I am usually one to be a big foodie and love everything but this place …I will say the only good they have going for them is the Crispy Brussels Sprouts but as far as that ….. DO NOT EVEN WASTE YOUR TIME !

Other than waiting a bit for our server I think I’ve found a new favorite pizza! It’s not StL style or NY, it has a crisp but chewy crust, tasty sauce and “Italian cheese blend.”

Beer: great! My wife and I have been fans for a while and were excited to try it in person.

Food: fries were great! The pizza we ordered was burnt on the bottom and the veggies on top weren't quite cooked. Our server kindly sent it back when she saw it, and when it came out again it looked the same. We were told that the 'stone fire' cooking was the reason for darkness on bottom. It seems like perhaps the base of the pizza is prepped ahead of time and the rest of the toppings are added on when the pizza is ordered and put back in the oven to warm up. The result was just okay. Definitely would order something other than pizza if I go again.

Service: our server was fantastic. Friendly and attentive, but gave us space.

Atmosphere of the space: great place to hang out, but the vibe of the decor (graffiti font and funky art work) and the vibe of the music being played (top 40 country) didn't quite add up. Loved the game area!

Atmosphere among the staff: this really put a damper on the visit. Twice while we were there we heard the kitchen staff yelling, arguing, and cursing at each other while we were there. For context, the kitchen is behind the brewhouse and a closed door. The servers and bartenders seemed really uncomfortable from this point on in our visit. From our vantage point no one addressed the issue.

Overall, I think I would rather enjoy their beer at home.

I'm sorry to give a low score, but I've visited this place 3 times in the past couple months and each time, the place is busy, but has plenty of open tables and I'm told the wait is 35-40 minutes. How is that possible when there's no one waiting in front of us, with at least 12 open tables.i understand being short staffed and if the host would of just said that, I would say ok, no problem, but all 3 times she's looked unhappy and 35-40 minute wait is literally the first words out of her mouth. I won't attempt to go back again.

I love freestyle! They have great beers and great food. Formerly Melvin Brewing.The new ownership is super responsive to messages and feedback. On multiple occasions I’ve asked questions through either Facebook or messenger and they are always responsive. I even mentioned I loved a new beer, and would love to see it in cans. A couple weeks later, the owner messaged me and said they are canning some!Great place for apps and good beer. the new ownership is awesome.Maybe one day they will bring back the OG curry specials for the cold winter months ??? but until then, their pizza and smash burgers are great.
