Second time going. Many beers but none that great or highly ranked. Still a nice place but the service was terrible, angry unfriendly bartenders won’t go back, many other options close by.

NOT a “Welcoming atmosphere”.
I’m writing with a heavy heart after a recent experience at your establishment that left our family feeling deeply hurt and excluded.
We’ve always appreciated your space and have visited often, drawn in by your promise of being a welcoming, family-friendly environment. But during our most recent visit, that promise was broken in a way that was not only upsetting, but truly disheartening.
Rosecomb promotes itself as a community-oriented, family-friendly space. Even on this page, it says “welcoming atmosphere”. Unfortunately, this was not reflected in the behavior of the staff during our visit. A neurodivergent child in our group was spoken about negatively by staff—not just among themselves, but even to other patrons. Instead of being met with understanding or compassion, the child and their family were made to feel like a problem, like they didn’t belong. The atmosphere became so uncomfortable that they felt they had no choice but to leave, despite being paying customers just like everyone else and guests at the birthday party we were holding there. The entire party quickly ended because of the way staff treated the child and their family.
Families with children—especially those with unique needs—should feel safe, supported, and respected when visiting public spaces. And this was not reflected this evening by staff. It’s hard to put into words how painful it is to watch a child and their family be singled out and excluded for simply existing as they are. These moments matter. How we treat one another matters. And no one—especially a child—should be made to feel unwanted in a space that claims to be a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere.
Sadly, this experience has changed how we see your business. We no longer feel comfortable returning, and that’s a loss we didn’t expect. We hope you take this message seriously and reflect on how these situations are handled in the future—not just for our sake, but for every family that walks through your doors hoping to be accepted as they are. To be only accepting of neurotypical children is not a welcoming atmosphere.

Our group had a negative experience with one of the bartenders tonight, concerning their approach to how a neurodivergent child acted in the indoor area in a totally safe and innocuous manner.
The child was not in any way different than the other children navigating the space but the bartender felt the need to let the parent know how they felt uncomfortable with their behavior, and was not open to any other perspectives with further conversation. For the sake of those who may not be able to advocate for themselves, please support businesses that put in the effort to learn and be accommodating of all people, especially neurodivergent children.

Rosecomb has always been a go-to spot for meeting with friends who have young children as it has always been advertised as “kid friendly”. However, tonight the bartender made a comment to the parent of a neurodivergent child that made the mother and all of the surrounding group uncomfortable to the point where we felt the need to leave.
This child was walking around the indoor space (as it was raining outside) with a phone listening to Christian music. I find this behavior from the bartender extremely disheartening and inappropriate from a place that considers themselves kid friendly. Due to this interaction, my friends and I will no longer be visiting Rosecomb again.

I have been a loyal patron of Rosecomb for years, often inviting friends, coworkers, and business partners to join me here. I’ve always appreciated the atmosphere and have recommended it to many. Unfortunately, my recent visit — which happened to be for my birthday celebration — left me deeply disappointed.
Rosecomb promotes itself as a kid-friendly establishment, but my experience this evening told a different story. When rain forced all guests indoors, I witnessed one of my friends and her young son — a nonverbal, brilliant child — being singled out and verbally confronted by a server simply for quietly walking around listening to music on his iPhone. His behavior was no different from any other child present, yet other children running through the space, flicking lights, or crawling under chairs were not addressed.
Several patrons attempted to explain to the server how her approach could have been kinder and more understanding, but she dismissed these concerns, stating she was “doing her job.” Singling out a child because they are neurodivergent is not only unfair, it is discriminatory. If “child-friendly” at Rosecomb only applies to neurotypical children, that is a serious issue that needs to be addressed.
Rosecomb, I urge you to ensure that your claim of being child-friendly extends to all children, or remove that claim from your branding. I hope this feedback encourages meaningful training and policy updates so that every family — regardless of their child’s needs — can feel welcome here.
Loved this place! 10 of us enjoyed the patio and beers. We all ordered food from BB's chicken next door and loved it too!

Visited here for the first time the other day for trivia, and had such a great experience! Atmosphere was open, but also really cozy. Had a nicely-lit patio that's also dog-friendly (which is always a plus, for me)! Service was fast, amazing, and friendly + BB's Crispy Chicken is connected to it, and so I got to have my fix of food along with my drink. :) Will be coming back!

Decent beer selection. Pretty IPA heavy as you'd expect these days. Fairly generic beer bar vibes. The hidden gem IMO is the connected chicken restaurant. That was some good grub

I love this place, they have great beer variety! I am here probably once a week for many different events, including happy hour with collegues or friends. My partner and I also come here often since it is dog friendly and we can bring our dog inside if too hot or too cold. I love that I can get food delivered from the food place next door or you can bring any other food you can pick up in Parkside.

Love this place! Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Several fans are going outside to help cool you off. The choices of beer were great. Bartenders were very friendly.
