It's great, it's pet friendly, excellent food, and chill staff.I had their Reuben sandwich, The pastrami is smoked the cut and very flavorful, couldn't taste the sauerkraut (excellent place to try a Reuben for first timers), The rye bread is very mild and slightly sweet very unique spiral pattern and delicious. Wife had the pretzel, ? she wasn't that hungry but said the beer cheese sauce and ground mustard was delicious. She made me try the last bite of pretzel, it was slightly sweet which was interesting and appreciated, but dipped in their cheese beer sauce was next level. Their flavor combinations just hit different in the best way.Wife had the American lager as she's prefers Coors & Miller lite, I went with their dark lager which was bold yet smooth. Definitely appreciate the realistic ABV levels so you can do something with the rest of your day lol. They're green tea jello shots are actually pretty tasty and fun to order if you're celebrating something.Definitely a bring your own friends place, Not somewhere I would advise the single ready to mingle crowd. But if you got some good people with you you're guaranteed to have a good time here.Can definitely recommend.Parking: Parking is off 5th Street, behind the building. They have their own lot (Yes you can enter directly from the parking lots as well).Google maps will take you to the front of the building though. (Which there are a couple of spots and a couple of handicap spots only, there is also a 10 ft double-sided bike rack)Do not attempt to park anywhere else in the front or businesses beside it they will tow.(Cesar Chavez and the streets connecting between 5th are all both directions, so it doesn't matter how you get there if you will get there)

Place is great but new bartender - horrible attitude to everyone. Brunette lady with bangs. Hopefully management sees this

The food is above average for a brewery. The beer's cold and the ambience is great. Sarah and the rest of the staff are attentive, fast, and always helpful when we have questions. Grab a pitcher, a pizza, and thank me later.

Bartenders are stuck up and refuse to make drinks that aren’t on their menu. When asking for a common drink the guy said “I don’t know how to make that, let me know when you’re ready to order something on the menu”.

Solid time every time. Solid food. Solid entertainment. Solid ambiance. Food is fine. Prices are fine. Collectively it makes up for a wonderful night out no matter the time of year.

I love this place, but come on guys, you've been closed for a private event about five times in the last and a half that we've shown up. It's a bummer when you take an Uber down, only to find out that the venue is closed to the public.

Place has a large indoor and outdoor seating area and very dog friendly. There's a small spot where you can get a water bowl and fill it up for your best friends! Drinks are good and bartenders are quick and attentive.Great place to hangout, enjoy drinks, eat, and listen to live music on the weekends

Don’t drive into the parking lot unless you’re in a truck. The massive ruts will destroy the underside of your car.

There is almost always something going on at CMW whether it’s Wednesday night run club, trivia on Tuesday, a live band or a football game projected on a big screen. No matter the day of the week or really time of day, it is quite lively!They boast a sizable selection of drinks (beer, wine, cocktails), including some fun, not too sweet, frozen options.The food menu includes some snacky bits, pizzas, burgers, sandwiches and two salad options. The pizza is yummy, it comes in one larger size and is a thinner crust. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9 pm to close you can get a cheese or pepperoni for $15 as well as a $5 pints & pretzel.The place is super doggo friendly. When it it’s really nice outside, it can be difficult to find seating, despite the fact that they are such such a huge venue with lots of indoor and outdoor tables.The parking can be tough due to popularity so definitely recommend biking or Ubering.
