| - Finally had a chance to come back and this place is much better, IMO. Bar service still seemed a little awkward, but I'm just being nit picky on that point. The bar tender wasn't inattentive. The prices also didn't seem so bad this time around since I focused on the house beers. The BottleHouse beers are great and shouldn't be skipped over. Their beer list represents their own damn tasty brew and some other standouts of the USA craft brew scene. There's still no food, which is fine. Just don't come here for a meal. This is not a brew pub, it's a brewing company. Keep that in mind when arriving. Sometimes you can find food available, but it's not a part of this location. But that doesn't mean you can't bring your own food.
Essentially, this location is a brewery that setup a lot of picnic tables and a stage for people to use as a community home base... but with beer. I stand by my initial option that this place seemed like a community center with beer taps, but the atmosphere was much better this time around. Which helped me better experience the concept much more. I saw families with kids playing bored games, friends socializing after work, old and young mixing it up. People can come together over good beer in the right setting without it being some sort of adults-only bar experience--BottleHosue created that right setting. There was even a band playing some decent tunes. The music was a little hippy-ish for my liking, but it wasn't something that would drive me out of the building. Plus, the band members were are very cool and talkative as if they were patrons themselves.
If I lived near the area, I would probably be here a lot.
