| - I'm always excited to try a new place, and in the case of Two Brothers, I'm really glad we did!! A few friends recommended we give it a shot, as they'd been there to try it recently and the food was supposedly really good... So, Super Bowl weekend when everything was swamped, we found a little refuge in this cool, new spot!
The location is great, on North Scottsdale across from Bungalow, and the building itself is very nice. It has a clean but industrial feel, as most breweries do, with awesome skylights that make the place feel fresh and bright. Seating extends up to the second floor, though we sat on the first, and there appear to be plans to put in some large fermentation vats up there, which will be cool.
The menu looked incredible and I wanted to try everything! To start, we shared some smoked salmon and the pretzels. The salmon was okay - not as much my thing, and there wasn't a whole lot of pita/veggies for the amount of dip you get. The pretzels were great, though, and I'd definitely get them again!! I had a hefeweizen that was great and had a strong banana/vanilla flavor.
For my main meal, I was struggling between the fish tacos or the chicken sandwhich, both of which sounded amazing. The waitress was helpful and recommended the fish tacos... I think they sat in front of me a solid 30 seconds before I inhaled them! They were great!!! The batter was light, and everything tasted fresh. The quinoa I got with it wasn't great. I guess I was expecting it to be hot, and when it was cold with a very seedy texture, I left most of that on my plate. I'd probably try the parm fries next time, as the waitress said that those are a big hit.
After we ate, we hung out for a while and I decided to try one of the beer cocktails. It was gin and an IPA, and boy, could those get me into trouble!! I'm not normally an IPA fan, but the hops with the gin made for a great combination! Definitely not something I would've thought to combine on my own, but I loved it!!!
Give this place a shot - I really hope it sticks around!
