I am not a big fan of pilsners or lagers so I didn't care for those but that's just my preference. The price was reasonable for what I got.

The atmosphere is laid-back, and the service is excellent. On a hot summer day, the patio seating is a real treat!

I'd much rather have everything be good then have the menu be large, but heads up for those picky eaters. For apps we got fried pickles and the spinach artichoke dip. Both were good with the dip being the clear winner; it comes out piping hot in a skillet. I had a falafel burger which was excellent. The falafel tasted homemade and rivals some of the best in the city. Very well executed. I don't drink but it should be noted that the beer menu is not extensive. So if you're looking for a brewery that has a ton of taps this is not the place. All in all this is a solid neighborhood bar that has great food and is good for groups too!

And the little green men was my solid second before they took out the Indian style sauce that came with the pizza! Without the sauce it was a bit overwhelming and needed a sauce to cut through the oily pork topping, but otherwise very good when heated up the next day, topped with hot sauce. The bacon maple wings had a sophisticated, mild taste. I always enjoy a meal and beer from DryHops! Also when the temperature gets warmer, they have amazing patio seating!

Ordered our beers and everyone was happy with them! This company also owns Corridor, which I love, so most of their beers I 'd had before. Only small pain was when we were ready to pay and leave it felt like our server had sort of forgotten about us. We were ready for the check about 20 minutes before we finally got her attention and it was not busy at all. Still, small fluke. Would definitely be back for some food!
