I love Mellow Mushroom, I've been to the other locations in the valley and this one is solid like the others. What I like about this location though is the "red room" in the middle as it is DEAD quiet as far as bars go. Perfect for when you come here with a family type group or with low talkers because it beats yelling over the crowd, idk why the acoustics make everybody's voice bounce off the walls so hard with no sound absorption but it's the way they design the rest of their venues too, they all tend to be loud so the red room is a nice addition.
Their happy hour is great and imo better priced than the Yardhouse except they rotate their taps here ALOT I swear they're always out of that *one* beer I wanted but that's the way it goes. The other MM locations are impossibly behind with their list of beers available and always have an outdated beer menu due to the rotating but this one actually has decent management because their menu has been fairly up to date and the servers are knowledgeable.
If you like overpriced food and pizza (although good) then avoid happy hour, if you like your beer + apps 1/2 off then RUN to their HH including reverse HH everyday. Their pizza burns a hole in my wallet and stomach but every once in a while I have to spring for it because I like/love their dough. If you're into the whole anti-gluten uber veggie weird hippie hipster foods you'll love their pizza selection btw as it caters to that crowd, or you could get a normal pizza (loser)
Bottom line
- great craft beer selection ALWAYS
- 1/2 off draft beer & apps (HH)
- beer servings are up to 20 oz in chilled glasses
- overpriced pizza, great dough
- loud fun bar, patio, or quiet "red room" you can't go wrong!
