Ohio-Based Brewery and Pizzeria Heads to Detroit in 2020 | Eater Detroit

"Set to open in Brush Park's City Modern development in 2020 by way of Cleveland, Saucy Brew Works is an Ohio-based pizzeria and brewery that first opened in 2017 and will be the chain's fourth outpost after planned expansions to Columbus and Independence between 2020 and 2021. Their beer catalog includes canned and bottled offerings like the Habituale, a kölsch-style golden ale, and the American IPA ASAP, along with seasonal and special-release labels, and the Cleveland menu features “apizza” — New Haven-style pizza — a format otherwise rare locally, meaning Saucy would bring that style to Detroit proper." - Brenna Houck

First time visiting this hidden gem on Clevelands Westside for some lunch. Very glad I stopped in with my content creator friend, Joey Edibles from Square Table Degenerates on YouTube. We enjoyed some pizza, Meatballs, pretzel, wings and some Browns talk. I suggest the Nashville Hot wings w/ bleu cheese! Overall great experience and very tasty food ( had my taste buds doing the happy dance). I will definitely be back to try other menu items. Enjoy and droll over these photos (that do not have smell-o-visiion) Our host and bartender was Austin and he took great care of us.

First time, long time here. Came in to catch a beer and a slice before the Browns game on a Sunday. Beers were excellent and ive always enjoyed their pizza here. Service was a little slow and it wasnt totally packed. Was happy to catch some football around fellow Browns fans before they disappointed us. There's always next year!

This was our favorite brewery stop during our weekend in Cleveland. The beer selection was great and the IPAs were stellar. We tried the burger special and a pizza both of which were delicious. The pizza was larger than expected and a good value. I would definitely be a regular if I lived closer!

I ordered two BYO pizzas and made them similar to the Margarita pizza but I changed the kind of cheese. I added basil as an additional topping and extra charge. When I went to pick up the pizzas, I took a peek at them to find that there was no basil on them and they looked incredibly sad and unappealing. The gentleman that handed them to me at the pick-up area gave them to me without letting me know about the change to my pizzas. So I went back to him to inquire about the basil, he and the chef both told me that they ran out. I was still charged. These pizzas were for my dad's birthday celebration lunch and I was embarrassed. I feel like I should have been aware of the lack of basil or at least sprinkle some herbs on them...and maybe not charge me the additional topping? They definitely lacked flavor.

We were taking a tour of the Hinge Town area of Ohio City. On our tour we noticed the Saucy Brew Works and decided to try it after our tour was over. There were 4 of us. We stopped in and found out it was buy one get one 10 inch pizza. So of course most of us got pizza. My friend had delicious Kansas City wings (I tried one) and a greek salad. I had two small flights of beer. And another friend had a blueberry lavender non alcoholic lemonade. I had a taste and it was really good. All in all we really enjoyed our food. And it was a nice night so we were able to sit outside. Our servers were very nice and it was a tad slow but given the special you could understand why. We saw they had other weekly specials and we definitely want to go back. The only thing I would change our first server gave us only two menus for the 4 of us. I think everyone should get a menu.

A solid place to grab a beer in Cleveland. 🍻 Stopped in after a long day at work and was surprised by the wide variety of beers available. They have flights, so you can sample a number of different types at an affordable price. Huge space with a nice seasonal patio and large bar. Service was a little slow as others mentioned, but nothing ridiculous. I haven't had food at this location, so I can't speak on it's quality. I'd definitely stop in for a beer, again.

Solid spot. The staff is very nice. They have table service now (don't remember them having that in the past). Great pizzas. (Bees knees is the best). Solid beers. Chill. Seat yourself. Parking around the area (free street parking).

I’ll start with the fact that I’ve loved Saucy for years, from dining in to ordering pizzas from them for parties, I’ve always been drawn to Saucy. However this last Thursday I’ve been turned off it for good. We stopped for lunch after a day out, and the pizza was great, the service was wonderful since there was only one man running the bar and running food to folks. What soured the visit was the fact that a dog was allowed to come in the restaurant and allowed to just hang out for a while. It started to smell like wet dog and we needed to leave. On top of the smell, two workers came to pet the dog then immediately grab to-go boxes and plates for people.

I visited with a 12 person group at 7pm on a Monday night. We were able to get two tables next to each other easily. I noticed daily specials at the bottom of the menu, and being Monday, 10" pizzas were BOGO free! (This didn't apply to my 12inch gluten free- bummer!) My friend ordered a vegan pepperoni and was able to take another one home for free! I ordered the figgy piggy pizza. I didn't notice until doing this review and looking up the menu that they didn't put the apples on my pizza =( It tasted OK, nothing amazing, unfortunately. I did really loved the gluten free crust though! I subbed pepperoni instead of the ham and that part was really good. My partner didn't love his chicken wrap. The huge one inch solid chunk of lettuce stalk he found within was off-putting and the flavor just didn't hit. The service was helpful and attentive. We had to get our own waters from the stations near the bar, and had to get lemons from the bartender, but that's just how the place does things There is a lot of seating in this building, mainly large benched tables. There's a hidden cove under the stairs that has board games and a couple arcade games. There is a parking garage SLIDE on the same block that was fun to check out. If you follow the building left or right, there's an opening to walk through and you'll see the slide. You go up 2 floors, there are signs, and you can take the twisted slide down 2 stories. Very cool!

It's becoming more and more difficult to not stop here when visiting Cleveland. Its location is perfect if you're visiting the Rock Hall or the stadium. It's also not terribly far from other points of interest. The food is worth the trip. The pimento dip alone is a must. Beware if you are lactose, it will destroy you, but god damn it's delicious. The pizzas are also incredible. The chicken bbq has been my go-to. The beer selection is very wide and seems to stay up yo date if thats your thing. The mocktail options are also delicious. Any servers Ive had have been polite, friendly, and attentive. With plenty of room there isnt often a wait so dont hesitate to stop on in.

Saucy Brew had a lot of vegan options, which was nice. My son enjoyed his vegan pepperoni pizza. Our server was friendly and helpful. The food came out sporadically though. For example, my son was finished eating his pizza before the rest of our food came out. There were 5 of us. The atmosphere was loud and fun, indoor/outdoor. We were also seated pretty quickly.

Saucy Brew Works has a large selection of beers and a large menu of bar food. I was impressed with the vegan pizza. It was perfectly spicy and the crust was very crisp. My partner prefers wheat beers or a hazy IPA in a pinch. He had a hard time finding something on the menu to suit his taste. He did enjoy the Italian sandwich. The portion was very healthy. We arrived around 6p on a Tuesday and the dining area was not too full. People started arriving as we sat there. We have ordered at the counter in the past. This time we had a server and she was great. She even saw my partner was not enjoying his beer and brought him a taster of another. The dining room has picnic table and high tops. I did not find the seating to be comfortable. Next time if the weather is not too warm maybe we will sit outside. We do enjoy the location. Hinge town is a fun area. There is street parking or a small parking garage not far from Saucy Brew Works.

I have to say, I was very excited about trying this place when i saw the menu online. It's very diverse and looks promising. Great bar food. I ordered the chicken wrap sandwich and the barbecue mac and cheese. Both we passable, but that's about it. I love a good buffalo chicken wrap sandwich. This was cold by the time I got it home. The thing was, it took me 5 minutes to walk home with it, and they made me wait at the bar because the food wasn't ready. They give you a choice of sauce for the fried chicken inside. That was ok. I asked for blue cheese instead of the ranch dressing. I could taste neither. Most places give it to you on the side for dipping. That was not the case here. The barecue mac and cheese was ok. It was tastey, but nothing special. I'd give that a 3 out of 5 starts. and the wrap a 2 out of 5 to be honest. The ambience seems kinda fun. It's a beer hall atmosphere, with lots of windows in a nice little part of Ohio City. I think 3 out of 5 is generous. It's worth coming here, decent bar food is how I'd sum it up.

My mom and I had a couple of things not go to plan earlier so we went looking near our Soul Space Yelp elite event and picked this spot hoping to get a gluten free cauliflower crust pizza but they didn't have any of the crust this time! We walked in and the waitstaff greeted us and said pick any open spot and someone would be with us shortly. Christopher was our waiter. He was very friendly and took plenty of time to ask questions to the kitchen when we had them prior to getting our wing orders in. My mom picked the Bee Sting wings. She really enjoyed them. I had one of hers and they were indeed very flavorful. I chose the honey sriracha and that flavor is divine. I will say, both wings were more hot from being fresh out of the oven. Getting through the first couple of them, (they come in orders of six), you can really enjoy the flavors more. The wings themselves were pretty big compared to other wing places I have been. The flats and the drums. As someone who doesn't drink anymore, I appreciate there being a spot on the menu for a couple mocktails. Lots of TVs, music playing at a comfortable loud so you could hear both it and the people with you. Definitely a fun atmosphere. I saw they had trivia nights, maybe I could test my luck?! Overall, an awesome quick bite. Would love to come back and get a pizza on cauliflower crust!!

Friendly server. His name was Chris. Be sure to ask for him. Came here because we saw they had gluten free pizza crust .... Guess what they were out of!!?? We settled on wings. I ordered the bee sting bbq flavor. A perfect level of hot. They do charge extra for celery and for dressing. Typical bar atmosphere. Large tables available for larger groups. Patio doors were open beautiful breeze tonight.

A DIY OPERATION wow my brother wanted to come here he says he's been before but I question that now lol. Let me tell u what happened. I saw Detroit road I thought, easy enough. Well it's right by urban orchid in hinge town. I picked up floral there in the past. Absolutely nowhere to park, all taken. And everybody in the city goes there at the same time. If u know u know. Had I known I would avoid the area at all cost. Road has been under construction there for the duration of my 32 years in this town. We park in the garage. There's a couple pictures next to the pay box of the three hoods that keep breaking into cars on the 2nd & 3rd floor. If u see them DO SOMETHING it basically says lol. Well I hit the clicker and in we went anyhow. Ps they didn't burgle my car, during the day anyway. Go inside. Seat yourself picnic tables. Fine. Is there a waitress? Apparently not after some sitting like an idiot. Maybe there's a sign that says order at the bar but thats how it ended up. Double pepp pizza & a couple drafts. Take them to the table yourself. Less than ideal. Did they ever have waitresses & they just gave up. Idk about these serve yourself places & I suppose if u don't like it, well don't come in? I wonder if they'd even care. What was going through my mind at the time. Moved to the bar, bartender was nice. Good beer the urban Meyer & later the funny can that says Love you, bye IPA. young couple at the end picnic table had like 12 children and the brought them all it was deafening & the carrying & the swinging and Christ knock it off already. Isn't there a law about children at the bar. Can I sponsor this law? I wasn't the only one the two girls at the other end of the bar were giving dirty looks back there but what are the parents gonna do now they don't have a sitter(s). Who would u trust to watch ur children these days. Pizza took awhile but it was great and huge. See pic. Hard to serve w no spatula lol. I got this I'll separate these slices with a knife that doesn't exist. No cutlery ha. It's kinda like "come on in and drink but ur on ur own, esp if u order food." We wanna make beer and sell it and we have food too if u want to deal with it without any help. It's how I used to sell the hot dogs at the neighborhood garage sale lol. It's so crowded in the street I didn't listen to my map and went home on Detroit. What an adventure. I'd get the pizza delivered. And I'll drink the beer. Just not there unless it was empty. All in all it was ok, I guess. It's just my radar was going off the whole time like did they make it like this on purpose?

Okay, so not like how they used to be. I've come two times in a row where they have messed up. Last visit I ordered a large and they made me the wrong size. They fixed it by charging me for the size they served me, which was okay. This time I ordered a pizza again, wrong size. Same thing -- would charge for the size they served me. But I also ordered their garlic bread app and the bread was burnt that it was too hard too eat. FWIW, I didn't even bring this up as an issue because I was over it, but does make me feel like food is declining. When sports games are on they still play music over the game. But 3% surcharge for using your card.... Come on! Only positive is the wings are still good. There are too many negatives now to frequent this place.

Loved, loved, loved this place! The food was really good, especially the drinks. I got the bluegrass burger, Buffy Summers wings, and a few drinks. The burger was good but I didn't like the fatty gristle parts in it , others than that it was good. The fries were bland, but good with salt. The honey I dry rip the wings were interesting, not too bad. The Jammin Mac was good, it could have used a little more bbq sauce and meat but over all it was really good. I could do without the pretzel. The service and how it was set up was cool. No one waits on you, you have to order yourself at the bar, but overall the people were extremely nice, I mean everyone! The music was on point, the whole place was a vibe and I would love to come back. Pretty Pricey but the food and ambiance makes up for it. *park in the public parking area ( the garage) around the corner and you'll see a slide on the second floor.

I love Saucy! It's a great place to grab a beer and have some good food. Service is always great and the servers are always very friendly. I had the Blaze BBQ Mac and Cheese and it was very good! My only critique is that the pretzel that comes with it is very hard to bite into. I think in previous trips as well this has been the case. They taste good, but just more stiff than a regular pretzel. Saucy on Detroit is also very loud and it can be hard to hear people. However, that is not a dealbreaker as there is so many good things about this brewery!

Went in for some dinner the other night thinking I was going to get some pizza but ended up getting their Figgy Wrap and omgggg it was such an expected treat of goodness!!! It was simply delicious and surprisingly filling as well, I ended up super full after it. Extremely generous on the fig jam and the goat cheese which made me super happy because usually places aren't too generous with either of those. Love their outdoor and indoor option for sitting, perfect for the summer now to enjoy your food outside, or to catch a game inside while enjoying their delicious food.

A lackluster visit to say the least. The draft list is vast and interesting to read through- there were so many drinks I wanted to try! I decided to give the 'Brunch' fruit beer a try and it was delicious. Exceeded my expectations. The service was unsatisfactory. I understand everyone has bad days so I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. We felt unwelcome from the moment we took our seats and the service was amateurish. For an appetizer, I ordered the pretzels with beer cheese. Not anything to write home about, pretzels were stale and the cheese was oily and separated. For my entree, I ordered the 'Fungus Amongus'. Absolutely delicious- the saltiness from the mushrooms paired great with the boursin and the onions gave it the perfect zing to balance it out. The only note I have is to add more mushrooms (they were delicious) and spread the toppings more evenly. Unfortunately, another person at my table got the classic 'Margherita' pizza and it was horrid. Our server didn't mention that the kitchen was out of fresh basil, which isn't a huge deal but the attitude from service made it memorable. Overall, the quality has unfortunately declined. Moral needs to be addressed in both BOH and FOH. This is a place to drink but not eat, regrettably.

Hmm.... Not quite sure how to feel. After a rough day, I decided to treat myself with some Uber eats and I have been eyeing this place so I decided to try it. I ordered the Nashville, hot chicken pizza and a half pound of the garlic and pecorino wings I thought the pizza was okay... it definitely was nice to not have your red sauce pizza but I also wowed. The wings were okay too. I don't think they actually season the wings. I think they cook them and then toss them in whatever flavor you get which is fine but if it's not cold enough, it taste kind of bland. I did order this Uber Eats so I'm thinking maybe a sit down visit maybe in order to give them a full fair shot

Service was quick and you can just go up to the bar to order as well. Came in on a relatively busy Thursday. Beers were great (pumpkin ale was my fav for now) and the bbq chicken pizza was at least a 7/10. I'd stop by again to eat and watch a game.

Went to this location for my first time last night with coworkers. We got three 14" pizzas for the 6 of us and it was the perfect amount. Loved the selection on here! We got: Figgy Piggy, Bees' Knees, Nashville Hot. They were all pretty good but the Figgy Piggy was the most bomb. It had crisp apple slices with marinated onion slices, fresh spring greens, prosciutto and balsamic drizzle. I like the casual, lowkey vibe and no-fuss self-service. Plenty of street parking and lots of other shops around. However, because there's no light or stop sign at the crosswalk, it can get perilous to cross when it's busy...

I'll keep this one short and sweet. I ordered lunch through DoorDash and it took longer than expected. My dasher said it was because my pizza got stuck in the oven. But when it arrived it was so good! The Bees Knees has a hint of sweetness from the honey and a kick from the crushed peppers. I'm not good with heat, but I was able to eat the entire pizza without water so it's not very hot. I had one tickle that made me cough, but that was all. The capicola was crispy and didn't taste spicy at all. I also ordered the saucy bread and they were OK, but nothing special. It didn't really have the seasoning that was advertised and it was slightly dry. I wouldn't order it again. This is definitely a good pizza place. If I'm lucky enough to find myself dining in while I'm in town, I'll order a larger pizza next time so that I have leftovers.

Came on a Friday around 7pm with a group of 7 plus a baby and was able to get a table. You order at the bar and get a buzzer when your food is ready. We got the house and chopped salad (subbed ranch instead of blue cheese dressing. Loved the chopped salad. We got 3 12" pizzas for 5 people and only had a couple slices leftover. The Phat Ranch was surprisingly good (I usually don't like white pizza with chicken) . Bee's Knee's was real good. Margarita was okay. They had two N/A beers on the menu was I was excited about. Good spot overall!

I got the hot honey pizza. This was pretty average. It just didn't have a flavor that popped in my mouth. The meat was very thin so when it cooked up it got a little on the chewy side. I think next time I would try something different on the menu.

This is not a rage review, although I am extremely disappointed. This is the fourth time I been extremely let down by this place. I truly believe that it is the worst pizza in Cleveland. I always love pizza, and I literally do not like this at all. Today, they forgot one item on my order, the pizza was undercooked and doughy , the pulled pork on the sandwich tasted extremely old and dry, the burger was overcooked and dry. These people charge so much for this low quality food, I will never eat here again.

We stopped by Saucy Brew Works as part of the Cleveland Brewery Passport, and I'm so glad we did! This place absolutely lived up to the hype. First off, the beers are outstanding. We did a flight, and even as someone who isn't usually a stout person, the What His Nuts Brownie Batter Stout blew me away--it literally tasted like a brownie! Every beer we tried was solid, but that one was a standout. Beyond the drinks, the experience was made even better by our bartender, Kevin. He was hands down one of the most genuinely friendly bartenders I've ever had--so personable, great with people, and just an all-around good vibe. We also had the Bees Knees pizza, and wow--10/10. The perfect balance of flavors, and sitting at the bar made for a great atmosphere. Saucy Brew Works is a must-stop if you're in Cleveland, whether you're on the brewery passport tour or just looking for great beer, great food, and even better service. Can't wait to come back!

Good beer and decent enough food for a brewery. Unbelievably understaffed so the service is awful and takes away from the experience. Servers have no idea who to bring orders to and the bartenders are busy taking orders from a massive line on both sides of the bar so are inattentive to those sitting at the bar. The system they have in place for ordering makes no sense.

We haven't been here in a couple of years and went yesterday with the family. We had to park a couple blocks away and walking up to the place, there was some type of liquid in the street in front of the building that had an Awful smell, it smelled like rotten food, just terrible. I'm sure that is why no one was sitting outside. The place is not very clean, they need to wash the windows and do a deep clean. The pizzas came out fast, but the wings and other items took a long time . I witnessed one of the servers play with her long hair OVER THE FOOD that was to go out to patrons. Gross! The service was not very good and I didn't see anyone who might have been a manager to oversee things.

We only tried the traditional pizzas and they were decent. It was very doughy and the cheese was kind of rubbery, but kind of in a good way. Like the kind of pizza you would eat as a kid. The small is the perfect size for a personal pizza in my opinion, which makes it such a good deal, because it's not too expensive. The speciality pizzas are probably a lot better though. So if you're eating out to try something new and have really good food and flavors, I would say get that. But if you're just trying to have a quick cheap meal, def go for the cheese or pepperoni. Because I feel like you really can't mess up pizza, it's just too good!

Very disappointed in the Caprese sandwich for $16.25!! I got two very small slices of tomato two torn pieces of Romain lettuce. I couldn't even taste the basil on a large roll definitely not worth the money!

Arrived on a Sunday during a February snowstorm as they opened at 11am. We were the only ones there with 2 other couples trickling in later. Bartender was awesome and knew the character of the drafts well. 16 taps. The important styles all represented with an emphasis on coffee stout variations. Buffalo wings were not great. Other food was good. I would give beer selection and service 5 stars, but food brings the rating down.

I used to love coming here. The last time before today (Jan 2025) I came to Saucy brew works was in 2023. The pizza used to be some of the best around Cleveland. The crust was crunchy and airy. I could tell it was made there. The cheese was fresh mozzarella. The beer has always been just ok. During the most recent visit, the pizza was disappointing. The dough tastes like it's bought pre made and the cheese looked and tasted like it was pre shredded, out of a bag. By out of a bag i mean a 50 lb generic bag of cheese, not a bag of Kraft.The sauce is also not as good as I remember.

great food, drinks and service. I had the spicy mule and bees knees pizza. both were great. the crust of the pizza had a nice bite, crisp just how I like it! AND,! Not greasy!! I wasn't sure about the honey on the bees knees pizza but very nice complement! not too much honey where it is overpowering or sweet, just enough so you think huh what is that, yum! the mule was perfect!

I recently hosted an event in the event space at Saucy Brew and it was excellent. The food was delicious, and the service was great. The team there is very easy to work with and have a great attitude.

I've visited this location several times and the experience is always decent. Their pizza is solid and they do offer vegan options, always a plus. I did go with a large group on a Wednesday night and they were easily able to accommodate us. Would recommend for groups.

Everything was so good. The beer might be the best I've had in my whole life. The Faux Nuts and Here We Go really impressed us because they smelled just like campfire s'mores and peanut butter. The service was fast and the waiters were very quick and friendly. You can order at the bar or on your phone which keeps it from getting too crowded. It wasn't too hard to find a seat. The place is popular but it's great to go with a group of friends.

Unfortunately I did not get a chance to eat the food here. What I did get was a no warning closed restaurant without updates to the website, Yelp, not the door when I approached. The phone had no message for the closure, and as a fellow entrepreneur having ran a restaurant myself this is extremely poor business practice. I understand the need for time off while family run or otherwise smaller in size business but this is poor business practices overall. It really looked good, and food from pictures and reviews really seemed great.

Went on a Sunday, early dinner. Wasn't too crowded, but still a decent crowd. You seat yourself and order at the bar. There was a QR code to order off your phone via Toast, but it didn't actually work so you still had to order at the bar. The beers listed on the menu were incorrect/unavailable. They have pizzas, wings and a few shareable items to order to eat. The wings almost all had a notation next to them saying they were vegetarian/vegan, we were pumped! Turns out they didn't have a vegan option for the wings, just the sauces were vegetarian/vegan. Very deceiving and confusing. So instead we ordered the Thai Hummus platter (monthly special) and were pleasantly surprised with that!! Good flavor, pitas were good and they provided you with a lot to dip into the hummus. The vegan pizza we got was fine, but nothing special.

It advertises itself as being a New Haven style pizza. Not even close. Too much cheese and flop

Food was very good. Ambiance was even better. Service was slow. Fun vibe! Rick climbing and hockey!

Saucy Brew Works generated a pretty decent beer experience for me even though Ohio isn't a state I want to have heavy and frequent interactions with their breweries definitely are formidable and respectable for an area of the country I find a bit dull. Steve and I had three different beers from this brewery. Three different beer styles as well to get a broader range and a well rounded idea of what the quality of the beers are here. El Lager was the first beer we had. A Mexican Style Lager. I'm real picky with this kind of beer I found out. This one was okay but I felt the Mexican aspect was a bit watered down but I did taste a hint of purposeful corn grits to keep my interest going. Personally I love these types of lagers when they are barrel aged in tequila barrels. Juicy ASAP was the next beer we had. An IPA. Again, this was okay too. The fruity and dank flavors kept me going on it but nothing too terribly unique. What beer did win me over and what was the finishing touch for this brewery earning four stars was their Imperial Stout called Numb Nuts. As the name implies it's nutty and the peanut butter is the more dominant flavor with vanilla, coffee and a roasty flavor that balances out the nuts. Easily my favorite beer out of the three here and perfect for those in the mood for a Imperial Stout with a bouquet of flavor.

In town for business and a retirement party and came here for the first time last night with some former co-workers. Beers were very good. I had this tangerine White ale and also a coffee stout. We also split two of the pizzas and stuck around to play Thursday night bar trivia, which we of course won including taking home the $30 gift card :-) so, this is probably a place the locals know but I would definitely endorse it.

this place was just fine. the pretzel and cheese appetizer was good! different cheese than usual but i liked it. unfortunately my mac n cheese was not cheesy, it was very buttery. my partner got the cubano and said it was good but had way too much mustard. i got the lavender lemonade but i think they were out of lemonade because it just tasted like water was in it. we didn't have a beer so no comment on that. everyone working was super nice!

I got this for takeout so I can't comment on ambiance... However- the wings here were some of the best in Cleveland. We got two pizzas and both were 9-10/10

I mainly go for trivia on Thursday nights but will also go occasionally to watch a game. I love their pizza and wings. They are more upscale than a regular sports bar's menu. Always have new and rotating beers. Surprised they have a good non alcoholic selection. My only complaint is the seating and layout. Sometimes it is not busy and you can find a seat, other times it's so crowded.

This is a really chill place. They have a nice selection of beers and damn good pizza. When we are in the are we like to stop in, especially for happy hour. The staff is great, the food is great, and there's a beer for just about anyone that likes craft beer.

Industrial modern vibe with simple bar eats and a great draft list. Great casual spot for a first date or double date. Service was quick and easy (moreso self service). Had the Phat Ranch pizza. Nice cheese to sauce ratio.

You have to order food and drinks at the bar - no servers. The buffalo wings were ok but a little cold. They don't let you mix wing flavors. The pepperoni on the pizza was burnt. The margarita was very sweet. There's no sense of service since you have to order and wait for everything yourself. It's a nice place to sit and hangout. My mom liked the vegan deluxe pizza and spinach salad.
