A lot of my middle aged co-workers love the Brew Kettle... but I never really enjoyed it that much. The food is pretty standard for a bar and grill. The beer list is better than average.
For a bar they close really early also. 11pm on a Saturday?!? Common.
There is one specific thing that bothers me about The Brew Kettle... everything is in a grid. Yes that is what I said. Everything is laid out in a grid which makes the bar feel awkward. The beer list is a grid with the company, APV, bitterness, price, etc. The decor in the wall is laid out in perfect lines... taking away from dive bar atmosphere I think they are going for. But who knows... I might be the weird one and no one else notices.
