| - Craft Beer Market is in a pretty large location where the old Mother Tuckers used to be on 10th ave. Their claim to fame is their large selection of draft beer (at any given time, there are over 100 on tap). They rotate in seasonal beers regularly, so their selection is always changing. I love me some good beer, so I'm working my way through their beer passport (goal: drink 100 different beers). I typically stick to dark lagers or hoppy IPA's, but I've been surprised to enjoy some of the sweeter beer selections such as the Vampire Maple and the Steigl Radler (Steigl mixed with grapefruit juice... who would have thought?! It's delicious!).
This place is almost always busy. They do take reservations for lunch, and on Sunday through Wednesday nights. If you don't have reso's, it is up to you to scout out a table... this usually requires some patience, but the place is huge, so something is bound to open up eventually. I can't comment on Friday / Saturday nights here (I'd rather come when it is slightly quieter and easier to find a table). Since opening, their serve staff has gotten a LOT better (both from a speed and a knowledge of the beer menu perspective). They still aren't perfect, but with all that beer, it can't be easy.
The food here is decent, and they always have something on special- whether it be their fish tacos, pastas or flatbreads. They recently also launched a weekend brunch menu with some classic items (3 different Egg Bennies), and a few unique ones (Chicken & Waffles anyone?!). I tend to come here more for the beer than for the food, but with over 100 beers to try, I will keep coming back.
