| - The girlfriend and I agree that RRBC is awesome. We usually hate places full of big-screen sports, but the food, beer, and service more than make up for it. It's a hearty place -- go when you're hungry and craving a good beer.
The place can be loud on Fri-Sat night, or if there's a major sporting event going on. We tend to go later on Sundays, and it's fairly quiet & relaxed then. Same for weeknights.
Their beers are fantastic; awards cover the walls for a reason. I tend to like sweet brews (whites, wheats, scotch ales, bocks, some stouts), and they always have at least 1 or 2 that are downright delicious. The Subchaser Hefeweizen is my standby, but their Oatmeal Stout makes frequent appearances at my table too. I actually prefer their Christmas Ale over the Great Lakes one that dominates the region (which is great too, don't get me wrong) -- RRBC's has more brown sugar and a sweeter taste.
If you're a hops-addict, they always have plenty of heavily-bittered options for you as well, both from their own kettles and guest beers like Dogfishhead 60-min IPA. Actually, the only brews that have disappointed me are their reds, which really is one of my least preferred genres anyway.
The service has always been quite good in the 20 or so times we've visited. The waitstaff is full of hot girls, and they're actually nice too (shhh).
FOOD:
Oddly enough for a "brewpub" I don't think I've ever ordered a burger or pizza. There's just no point when there's such a good variety of other options! Note: like so many places, they tend to over-season the french fries. I ask for them unsalted, and then they're good.
MUST-TRY:
Asian Nachos (appetizer) -- My girlfriend orders them every time. They're fried wanton wrappers covered in marinated chicken, mozzarella, thai sweet/hot sauce, and a mild wasabi glaze. They disappear fast!
Eldorado Enchiritos -- The blend of chorizo, chicken, and cheese inside is mighty tasty. Great as leftovers too. If you can't decide, order this.
Pacific Beach Tacos -- Super fresh, perfect for a summer day on the patio. I recommend the cod if you like fish at all; it's great with the mango salsa.
Cooper's Baby Back Ribs -- OMG these are my favorite ribs ever. Marinated in beer, so they fall off the bone. No, really, I eat them *entirely* with a fork! They even have a spicier chipotle BBQ sauce available now. This is making me hungry.
Other Good Stuff:
Johnny Mac 'n' Three Cheeses -- Seems a little overpriced for mac & cheese, but it's a big portion. Mixed in are andouille sausage, red peppers, and scallions.
Fin's Tuna Tacos -- It's a smaller meal, but much classier than you'd expect for this sort of venue. If you want lightly garnished slabs of tuna that fall apart in your mouth, you'll be delighted.
Chicken Waldorf Salad Sandwich -- Exactly what is should be: a pile of delicious on a croissant.
Chipotle BBQ Chicken Sandwich -- I got two juicy chicken breasts when I ordered it, and no shortage of mozzarella, banana peppers, or sauce. I didn't think I could be impressed by a chicken sandwich, but RRBC did it.
