First time here and they made us feel just at home. James was a great host and his recommendations were Amazing. We started off with a Societe the Pupil Beer and a Refreshing Watermelon Sangria. Followed by a Half Acre Slow Wink Beer and anexperimental cantaloupe sangria which did not disappoint. We shared a Chimichurri Steak Sandwich and fries which lived up to its name. Everything was Absolutely Amazingly and Delicious.. We will definitely be back.

Our dining experience at Brew Kitchen Bar was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the warm and inviting atmosphere, and our friendly waiter, John, ensured we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Our appetizers, the Elote Egg Rolls and Tray of Fries, were the perfect way to kick off our meal. The egg rolls boasted a delightful combination of crunchy, sweet, cheesy corn and were perfectly complemented by the spicy mayo drizzle and cojita cheese. Meanwhile, the Tray of Fries offered a satisfying, savory start to our dining experience. For our main courses, we tried a variety of dishes, including the Chimichurri Steak Salad, Truffle Mushroom Grilled Cheese, Hot Chix Sando, Brew Wings, and the BKB Burger. Each dish was expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. The Chimichurri Steak Salad was a standout with its coffee-rubbed NY steak, fresh greens, and balsamic vinaigrette, while the Truffle Mushroom Grilled Cheese was pure indulgence with its toasted sourdough, mozzarella, sautéed mushrooms, house truffle paste, and arugula. To wash down our flavorful feast, we enjoyed the Sojurito, a refreshing twist on a classic mojito with fresh mint and lime, along with a variety of tasty brews from their extensive beer list. Overall, we had a fantastic time at Brew Kitchen Bar, and we can't wait to return for another round of mouth-watering dishes and exceptional service. If you're looking for a place with a fantastic atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly staff, Brew Kitchen Bar should be at the top of your list!

TLDR: Good food and drink. Large covered patio. Parking is challenging. Menu is QR, but printed menus were available. We were in the area and looking for comfort food and a drink one evening. This stood out as a good choice. The place was easy to find, but parking is challenging. There is a tiny lot in back and the rest is street parking. I need an accessible space and fortunately there was an open one on the street in front. They have a small amount of seating inside, but also have a large covered patio. We chose to eat outside and it was lovely. My wife decided to have their chicken strips and fries. When she was asked how spicy, she chose medium. I had the fish burger and fries, and selected the Avery White Belgian to drink, which went perfectly with my meal. My wife had the Silk and Spice red blend. She found it to be unusual, but very enjoyable. Our food arrived nice and hot and was all very good. The chicken strips were just perfectly spicy, and the fish on my burger was probably 3/4” thick. I ended up taking off half the bun because it was a LOT. The chili relish really added a nice flavor to the sandwich. Overall, we greatly enjoyed our meal and the environment. Our one gripe was that no one ever came and checked back in on us. We would have ordered a second drink, but by the time someone came by we just decided to take off. Maybe they were just light on help that Friday night. We would probably try them again though.

Great place for good burgers and beers. I ordered the BKB Burger with fries and it was so good. They cook the burger to your desired temp which is a nice touch. Service was great! Lots of options for beers and wines. Loved the outdoor patio with lots of shade.

Great place to come to while traffic dies down. Took my dog for happy hour and was treated well by staff, shout out to Kevin for amazing hospitality, and great chimichurri steak sandwich. Calamari wouldn't order again but otherwise excellent.

A random and spontaneous stop at Brew Kitchen Bar turned out to be a great decision. The beer and food were amazing! The wings with Korean Honey Chili and fish sandwich were fantastic!
