| - I've been here a few times just for drinks, but finally tried the food last weekend. As far as the beer goes, I'm not wowed. It's definitely not my fave brewery in the area. I hope they bring back the Albino Stout because it's delicious, but the other 6-7 ones I've tried have been average, nothing special. I would say they are on par with Market Garden, which again, is just average. I would go to Platform or Nano over B&B for just beer.
The food, on the other hand, is very tasty and I like that they offer sharable plates. Though, if you go with people who have food issues or don't like to share, that could be an issue. Our group tried the mussels (delicious, the cheese was an unusual, but yummy complement), the sausage flatbread with broccolini (could eat it every day), and the patatas bravas (loved the slightly spicy sauce). The other couple ordered two of the large sharable entrees, fried chicken and pork shank, and the portions were definitely generous enough to share between four people. Trying a bit of each, the fried chicken was okay on its own but definitely needed the help of the jalapeno syrup (though it really didn't have much sweetness, more vinegar if anything), but the pork shank was very flavorful. I would definitely get that on a return trip. I would just skip the fried chicken.
Note: I was tempted by the corn dogs, but when I saw them go by and noticed only three in a serving we skipped it. Same goes for the sliders. Splitting three items between two or four people is a pain. I don't understand that decision at all.
Also, I noticed that the TVs were in color on this last visit. While it's odd to watch sports in B&W, it was kind of cool on my first couple visits.
I feel like giving a 4-star review would be too much, but three stars is too low. Wish there was a 3.5-star rating.
