Nice, comfortable brewpub with brick and wood décor, friendly staff. Open daily at 11am.
They had 21 beers on tap, plus ten guest beers and eight ciders.
BEER:
Dortmunder Local Export Lager (3.75) – Medium body, bitterness, appropriate for style; perfectly acceptable lager.
West Bank Pale Ale (3.75) – Hop character evident in bouquet and flavor; super drinkable.
Masala Mama IPA (4.25) – Nicely balanced IPA; bitterness not overpowering; why can’t all IPAs be this balanced?
Hope & King Scotch Ale (3.50) – Sweet and malty, not too bitter; decent Scottish ale.
Black H2O Oatmeal Stout (2.75) – Beer is lacking in malt character and roasted flavor; a decent enough dark ale, but could be so much more.
FOOD:
Full menu offered a large selection of appetizers, soups and salads, burgers, sandwiches and entrees. Food was decent; the walleye tacos could have had more fish and less pineapple-cilantro coleslaw, pico de gallo, and mango vinaigrette, all of which made them overly wet and sloppy to eat.
