Located in a popular downtown square, BeeZr is a unique gastropub that incorporates other "businesses" such as Chandler's Ford Brewing, the Champagne Taco Kitchen and Northside Coffee.
On the Friday evening our party ate here, the block was being blocked off by police with musicians and food trucks setting up. There's plenty of outdoor seating and their vault high ceilings leave plenty of room for loud resonating conversations. There's also upstairs seating with a party room I was told. On one far wall are the large tanks and machinery you find at breweries. On the opposite wall is a long full service bar and in the middle is a large space for tables and chairs. If cleared, it would make a perfect dance floor.
BeeZr's menu is unique if not pricey. Sharables include their popular Crawfish tail & sausage cheesecake, Lion head shishito peppers, tortillas, sweet potato crisps and Beezr wings. There are a couple of Salads and their famous Champagne tacos. They also have a large variety of oven cooked pizza. With only 3 Sandwiches on the menu, you won't leave hungry as their menu says because the Steak Michigan Tammy got was Yuge! Their house made brioche was filled with ribeye and beef brisket, grilled onions, mushrooms, then topped with buffalo mozzarella and garnished with cilantro and their own in-house sauce.
I tried one of their specials, the seafood gumbo. They weren't lying when their menu says it has "colossal" shrimp! They're really prawns and yes they were huge and they were grilled to perfection! Yom Yom Yom! Together with small crawfish tails and sausage in a dark roux, the gumbo was served with rice and julienne fried okra. It's much "thicker" than your typical Louisiana gumbo, but it was quite good.
Our large party of 8 arrived before happy hour and they all sampled and loved their beer choices. As the evening progressed and more people arrived, the noise level increased accordingly. Conversation was manageable, but this is certainly not the venue for a quiet romantic meal. We had a good time and good food.
