I had just finished a monster 9 day gig at the MTCC, stuck in the bottom of the south building. The American crew wanted to do something different and loved beer so I suggested the Mill Street Brew Pub.
I asked my wife to join us so she met me at the MTCC while the crew went back to their hotels to freshen up. We arrived to a bustling atmosphere and waited at the front door for about 5 minutes before someone acknowledged us. Finally someone showed up and we explained we needed a table for 6 but not right away. Our host explained they were full but tables would be available shortly. We saddled up to the bar and ordered drinks and some Kobe sliders. My wife ordered an Amaretto Sour and I the Organic Lager. My beer was good but the sour was average (sours need fresh juice to make them tasty). The sliders were juicy but very bland for Kobe beef, I would have liked some different sauces to enjoy with them.
My colleagues arrived and we started trying the sample platters and then on to actual pints and they were all pretty good. I enjoyed the fact that the pints were only $6.29 as I can't justify paying more. I especially enjoyed the Fruit beer made with raspberries, what a great summer beer.
Everyone seemed to enjoy their dinners and the prices were fair. I had the beer soaked plank salmon which was very tender and the green beans were nice and al dente.
The only thing I would change is the design of the place. It felt a bit like a cafeteria. If there were more banks to break up the chatter it would be a bit more enjoyable.
All in all a good experience, but then again I had just spent 9 days in subterranean AV hell! I'll have to go back during the summer and see, stay tuned.....
