The ambiance is better than the food or beer and it is QUITE expensive. Seriously though, it is almost breathtaking when you walk in the door. A huge church renovated into a brewery/restaurant...what a sight! The altar is very impressive, full of giant beer tanks. The stained glass is beautiful and they even have a few of the confessional rooms used as storage behind the bar! Definitely worth stopping in for a drink, but there are much better places to get food.
We had the cheesy spinach dip as an appetizer and that was pretty good, although a small serving. I was very excited for the brisket...which turned out to be under-cooked and very rubbery. I didn't even eat half of it. I was able to sample some platters that others with me ordered. I was impressed with the Buffalo Meatloaf. The Pierogie entree was very good but was almost $20!
The best part of our dinner was our server, Ally. She was pleasant, energetic and patient with our indecisive party of 8. She was very knowledgeable about the different types of beers and made great suggestions for our table.
As far as the beer goes, Thunderhop and Unholy Matrimony are pretty good...Not sure if they have a happy hour, but if they do, that would be a great time to sample their beers, take in the sights and then head somewhere else for dinner.
