| - As a non-beer drinker, I accompany the fella - a huge beer nerd - to a lot of breweries. So, I'm pretty much in it for the atmosphere, and he's pretty much in it for the brews. That said, I give Unknown a 2/5 for ambiance, and he gives it a 4/5 for the drinks, so 3/5 overall it is!
We visited on a Saturday afternoon around 3:30, one week after their grand opening, and the place was hopping! We were able to get a parking space in their lot, but there weren't many left.
Upon entering, I noticed the smaller tasting rooms others had mentioned, and I immediately got a warehouse feel... maybe because it's in a warehouse? We walked around the corner to the bar, and it was a little bit of mass chaos - some people were sitting at the bar, but most were trying to jockey up to it to get a beer, so I got a little claustrophobic.
We grabbed a seat at the end and finally got settled. The neon green and gray colors and steel chairs felt pretty sterile to me, and the warehouse acoustics seemed to require everyone to yell to be heard, especially over the indoor corn-hole going on. Ugh. There's a high bar along the back wall where people can stand and put their drinks and look out through the glass walls to the tanks, and it was pretty cool to see the guys out there making the beer. There are also electrical outlets around, so some people had their phones/tablets charging while they drank, which was pretty cool, too. There are a couple of TVs, but they had just been installed and weren't on; I overhead the bartender tell another guy that they were only going to turn them on for Panther games, which is kinda cool since you can see the stadium out the side window.
The fella got a Head First and an Over the Edge (which the bartender said was their flagship beer), and he said they were pretty darn delicious. He and I disagreed over the feel of the place - he liked it more than I did, so maybe it's a fella thing? I asked for a water, and I got a free bottle with a glass... nice.
The service was a little slow because there were so many people, but our bartenders were incredibly nice and helpful when the fella was making a decision about which beer to pick.
Their payment system is done via iPad, and everything seems very sleek and modern, but I'm more of comfy, cozy girl (think Triple C or NoDa), not a warehouse party feel. Perhaps the moral of this review is that I'm officially old.
