I'm a big fan of Heist. A couple of brews, some snacks and chilling out on their patio in the sun is definitely a good time.
I've been to Heist a few times and my absolute favorite thing is the patio (especially since it has been so nice out). Sometimes there is a band, which is nice. I've been here a few times and had some snacks; I've had the soft pretzels, spinach & artichoke flatbread and the nutella eggrolls - all really good and perfect if you're not starving and just feel like munching. They also have this Apple cooler cocktail thing that is fantastical. All around, everything is really good in the taste and ambiance department.
Service. All of my servers and bartenders have been really good! Super cool and attentive. The hostesses are like...really strict with the seating situation. All 3 times I have been there, the place has not been busy - as in, there are several tables open in the bar area and the patio, yet, we are told there is a 25 minute wait and that we can sip at the bar only (not the bar section, the literal bar). Ok...but after 25 minutes when I haven't seen anyone else be seated in any of the said tables nor had anyone really come in after us, it's a little strange. I have had to ask the hostess what the deal is at least 2 times before the finally seat us. I don't know, I don't get it, I guess. This wouldn't stop me from coming here or telling people how much I love Heist, just something I expect when I go here.
