On a walk and decided to stop here for a drink. The place is large, but still feels cozy. Seated at a table and decided to have a beer. Huge selection of beer here and I needed help selecting. The server brought out two samples for me to try and let me choose one. Nice touch. Now the atmosphere is friendly here, needed that as my limited social contact of the day Covid style.The television is playing baseball and the crowd is a mix of both younger and older people. Everyone seems to be enjoying their food and drink. Decided to stay longer and have a Cesar salad with extra of grilled salmon. Really good, the salmon was cooked well and the dressing was great. Great service for the young woman in the tie dye shirt. She made sure I had everything I needed and checked in often. Good experience here and made to feel welcomed.

Updating my previous review, I think I just needed to vent, I'll give them another chance to wow me, but the managers personal attention proves that their eye is on the prize. Admittedly, my experience was jaded by surrounding events, and I went straight to lasers without exploring the stun settings.

Chill place to relax and grab a beer. Interesting beers on tap.

Recently went here and was happy to know an upscale seeming place like this exists on Lake City way. It's perfect for a date night and what they have tap is super unique!

This is a place we frequent, and their barrel aged beers are fantastic- as are their cocktails. The head bartender is great at his job and any drink made by him is phenomenal. That being said, some of the decisions in the kitchen haven't been great lately. There was an oyster special for a bit, the oysters were not separated from their shells basically at all so we had to mangle them with our fork to eat them- I see they've added oysters permanently so I'm hoping the shucking skills have improved (they were out last time so we couldn't try them and see). There was a special on Valentine's Day- I believe it was an octopus crudo, which was basically inedible- inconsistently chopped and chewy with confusing flavors, we couldn't finish it and watched the same thing happen at the table next to us. I also had ordered the ancho chicken taco plate recently and found the chicken to be dry and large chunks rather than a more shredded moist approach. Additionally, we always loved the charcuterie board- however now it doesn't come on a board anymore, it comes on an odd picnic style tray? I'm not sure if there has been new leadership in the kitchen specifically but a lot of the changes have been somewhat disappointing as far as that goes. We will always continue to come back for drinks, but since we've been coming for over a year and noticed the decline in the kitchen I felt it was worth mentioning, as we used to eat here and have become reluctant to try any new specials.

The Brother Burger was really good! The beef they used is of high quality and I know I will be returning for it. The location is good and there is plenty of seating inside with a nice ambience. Our server was really attentive and friendly and was able to explain the menu in detail which I really appreciate. I got the apple cranberry crisp and that was delicious as well. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a nice date night or gathering spot with friends and family.

I had heard great things about this place so I wanted to check it out. The ambiance was nice and I also liked how the menu was pretty simple. I got the Brother's Burger, menu says cooked medium so you should specify if you want med-rare or med-well done. I got med-well which was perfect. It is wagyu beef and very delicious. It is served with root chips or you can substitute for onion rings or a side salad. We also got the mushroom - poblano tacos which came with an ear of street corn! For dessert we got the Apple cranberry crisp and chocolate truffle rum ice cream- both very tasty. Fun place to discover, we had a very friendly waitress who answered several of our questions. However, when we first walked in there was a different waitress/hostess that was in a mad mood towards us which was a bummer!

Best burger and loved the Imperial stout aged in bourbon barrels, great ambiance too!
Awesome! Didn't want the usual 40 min wait next door so we tried this place! The best burger I have had in years plus I loved the Imperial stout aged in the bourbon barrels

Came during reverse happy hour around 11pm. We were surprised that the only food options were reverse HH menu items, so be aware of that! (Regular menu service ends at 10:30pn). The tacos were pretty good, but I wish the charcuterie came with both meat and cheese...how they have it set up on the menu, you choose either one or the other (and we didn't want to pay extra for both). I was really impressed by the interior, it would even be suitable for a date! Drink menus were extensive. Overall, a cute venue and friendly service - I just wish we were able to try more things. Parking was free in the lot next to the building. Will have to return again!

Staff management seems to be the biggest issue at BB. The drinks are always great but the service is very inconsistent. I'm my experience there's been more times service has been bad than good and it's common to hear from staff that they're understaffed, or I'm the only server tonight or this drink takes a lot if time to make.... Last week a friend and I were there for two hours and received only one drink (the second was on its way for 40 minutes) and only received our second appetizer 35 minutes after the first and only when we repeatedly asked for it. We left feeling disappointed for both ourselves and the staff who clearly was overwhelmed by her job. Sorry to say I won't be back. Though the drinks are good, I can get better service elsewhere.

Beers have gotten better, food is average, service is great. Sour beer specialty.

Incredible food, craft cocktails and beer. Service was great too.
Best fish and chips in the city!
