My family and I tried Scotty's Brewhouse in Champaign.
It was fine.
The servers are all young and enthusiastic. There is a large beer selection, though some of the servers are under 21 and have little knowledge on what they's offering.
We liked the atmosphere. Sodas and water came in mason jars. Food was served on trays.
It's fun and trendy, but Scotty's is serving pub fare at steak house prices. While some of the menu is rather inventive (peanut butter on a burger?) it's mostly just variations on food from the grill or the fryer.
We all generally agreed that while we enjoyed ourselves, we weren't particularly impressed enough to choose Scotty's over other similarly priced restaurants in town.
