| - Longtable is a nice little hipster spot in Middleton. They have a large selection of bottled beers and ciders. A smaller menu of appetizer type options. I didn't get any food from there but have heard it's all ok but normal, nothing out of the ordinary or unique. My main cons was that the place has horrible acoustics, so it's very loud which makes it hard to talk to whoever is with you. And like the name says, they have long tables there, so you will end up sitting by other people which was also kind of problematic depending on how people space themselves out and how large your group is. Bathrooms were very nice and clean. The chairs/seating are very uncomfortable though in the dining area.
Right off the bat when I was there, I wanted to order one of their special beers on tap to give it a try, and of course, they said "oh we're out of that". Not a good start. I don't go order drinks with a back up plan, so that was just annoying that they were already out and it was maybe 6 or 7pm on a Friday.... at a beer café. To buy your beer whether you grab it from the display (bottles) or to get whatever is on tap, you have to go up to the counter each time. So the line can get long and did, when I was there and they only had 2 people working registers. Whoever is working the register is also grabbing your beers so it definitely got slow. So when they were out of what I wanted, it was too late for me to grab something from the fridge display so I just had to pick someone else at random because I didn't want to get back in line. Not to mention it was so loud I had to practically yell to the guy at the register.
Overall a cute place, but I can't say I'd come here on my own without an invite to meet up with others who are already there.
