Atmosphere is amazing! Quick and friendly service . Waiters are knowledgable about beer selections and suggest great alternatives to standard brands. Would definitely go back and suggest to friends.

Here Gose Nothin' is a Gose-style beer that pours a deep golden-orange color, with a yeasty, spicy aroma. On the palate there's a punch of tartness from the fermentation, as well as a hint of funk. Read more

This was our second visit and we will return. Our favorites include the Bavarian pretzels , nachos , fish and chips and Dan especially liked the pot roast . Service was great today. Highly recommend

The Counter ClockWeisse is another home run for Destihl's Wild Sour series. It's hard to find a beer that's this refreshing; the perfect companion for summer grilling. Read more

Love the food! Especially the espresso rubbed ribeye . Beer is just ok. Service during the week is fantastic. Weekends are packed expect slower service and you need to make a reservation .

Jordan Barr

Great beer selection , solid food options too. I always go for the Stuffed Poblano Peppers or Huevos Ranchero Stack. Service is slow when restaurant is busy.

1)Beer battered asparagus 👌 .. 2)Ancho chips with maple chipotle (not in the menu .. But ask for it ) best chips I have ever eaten ..

Emily Line

Awesome beer selection ! Delicious food. One of my favorite Bloomington-Normal restaurants .

Great beer and great food. Try the Beer battered asparagus . Also they rotate the beers so there is always something new on tap !

Lauren Chapmon

Try the espresso chipotle rubbed ribeye ! Cooked exactly how your order, looks dark, but was cooked to medium perfection.

Carlos Butler

Despite what I call a rather bland atmosphere. the food was good and the service was great. Our server was very attentive and engaging.

Kayla Sturch

Servers are all very friendly . Iced tea is different but delicious. Beer and cheddar soup is a must! Love this place!

Great Brews and sandwiches ! Always ask what their seasonal special is. It's yummy!

The beer-battered bacon and asparagus are a great appetizer

Appetizers: asparagus , potato croquettes , and chorizo stuffed dates

Lauren Lashbrook

The fish and Chips r great but what puts it over the top is there take on the vinegar!!!!!

Brian A.

Beer is just okay but menu is creative and fun. Try the Pumpkin Bread Pudding with homemade pecan ice cream for dessert . It's awesome.

Thai fried chicken was the bomb.

Aizo Krikke

The food here is amazing. It was a tough choice deciding between just one meal for dinner . The beer was just ok for me.

Tejas Jani

If you like light beer , Normal Blonde is a great one! Excellent service and great food!

Greg Stooksberry

The Barley Wine Beer and Salmon and Potatoes go nicely together. Something about the ground mustard sauce .

Trista Johnson

The beer and cheddar soup is to die for and they have one of the best cuban pork sandwiches I've ever had.

jambalya was great. service was not great though. wife needed help with some dietary restrictions and the waiter seemed put ofd by our requests.

Emory

The Espresso Cream Stout is so not good this month. Tastes water downed, but try the Bourbon Barrel Reserve tasted way better and was 13% as well . Very tasty. . .

tristan bullington

Otder the beer in 4oz portions. Same price and you can try a bunch of different styles this way.

The beer battered asparagus is PHENOM! Great atmosphere!

Cassie Piehl

The pork shank is amazing. Wonderful service.

Mike Griffin

Ribs were great . The Abbey Single Ale was outstanding.

Bill Carriveau

Food is good, service is not. Getting late in the evening or not doesn't mean ignore multiple tables go eff off and sit and talk with other co-workers. You want wash dishes when you close.

Axel Jimenez

Get the stuffed poblano pepper with side of flank steak

Chris Carr

Wi-Fi password is morebeer ... you may have to enter it twice though.

Tom Dabareiner

Orechchiette with Fennel Sausage ...have it every time!

Matt Checchi

I love this place but avoid the Marzen Oktoberfest - something went wring with that brew.

Chip Stone

Great bloody mary , the garnish is a meal on a stick, and it comes with a small beer .

Manbque

Bringing good beer to the area, although a suggestion would be to stay away from the fruited ones.

Cameron Fox

Great beer and atmosphere.

Javier Dixon

Beer and Food is outstanding!

Amanda Hart

Get the banana dessert . OMG.
