"Halfway Crooks isn’t just some neighborhood brewery, it’s among the finest in the city. Beer snobs can find everything from lagers to radlers. The food options lean heavily into the German bierhaus theme with a solid beer brat, currywurst, and a thick pretzel (side eyes because it’s only half a pretzel). The real appeal of this spot is the exposed brick rooftop with large picnic tables that can easily fit multiple large groups. But the biergarten out back brings another outdoor seating option. Enclosed by colorful shipping containers, it's a shady spot where people can vibe out to live music sessions. It fully cements Halfway Crooks as the best place to drink and chill in the neighborhood." - juli horsford, demarco williams
