Let's review NDBC for what it is....a brewery with some really good food, but a limited menu.
First, the beer. Come here once, come here often. Next Door provides a good offering of beer, from hoppie to malty. I absolutely love the Plumptous Scotch Ale...best non barrel aged Scotch Ale in Wisconsin. They have IPAs, they have a porter and a stout and a lighter ale...a very complete beer menu.
The atmosphere is great. TVs for sports, but music in the background. Clean, modern look.
Food: I have not had a bad meal. Fish Tacos are excellent. Just tried the chili...if you like some spice it is excellent. My carnivorous son had a burger and said it was excellent.
Service: I always sit at the bar and both Brian and Erin do a great job at service.
Bottom line; this is my go to place. Never a bad experience. Sorry to see some of the poor reviews...I have never experienced any of those situations. I recommend you try it...definitely for the beer...I have always enjoyed the food, and love the service.
