If you havent been, you should go. Its a small chain in the eastern US that is all about trying different beers. Occasionally Ive had my run of poor service here, but this has noticeably improved over the past 3 years. Call me rude or a tightwad, but I dont tip if the service is bad. But over the last 10 or so trips I recall Ive been tipping. The food is good, though I miss the Nutella crepes. Beer cheese soup is always really good, as are most of the sandwiches. I dont think the hummus and pita is as good as it used to be. The salads are also really good. Ive had pretty much everything on the menu. This location has darts and a very nice chessboard. This location is more of a classic restaurant than Nashville or downtown Memphis or St. Louis locations. The management inproved too I think. It has nice outdoor seating under a large awning. If youre unfamiliar with FSes, they also have trivia nights, $1 glass night, and plates on the ceiling and the place is very pub-esque. The music is a mix of 90s and 00s alternative and rock and punk usually, very good. I wish they would include 3rd parties in their Presidential stint this year.

My wife and I used to come here almost every Wednesday for "Glass Night" (a brewery will release a series of glasses that you get with your beer to take home) and occasionally on the weekends. A couple of years ago, though, they decided to ban smoking so that they could get in the 18-21 year crowd. In the few times we have been back since, the service and atmosphere has definitely suffered. On occasion, we have had a waitress card us every time we got another beer, and the under-21 crowd have made the place a lot more rowdy than it used to be. Their food is good, for bar food; but the whole business exists to be a Beer Emporium...and they have an amazing selection. This makes the interest in the under-21 crowd even more baffling.

Ive been here many times and they have never had a beer I ordered. Or any one the menu that Ive picked. I once sat here for 15 minutes with the waitress walking back and forth from the booth the register checking if they have beers from the menu in stock before I finally gave up and said "just pick something that you have". Im currently sitting here with a glass of water.

Sat at the bar. Staff was attentive first beer selection they were out of. Selection of beers is very large. Burger was very good and delivered promptly. Establishment was well staffed so appeared service in general was good. Not a good place to watch sports. Only two small tvs at the bar. Large outside seating area. Overall a positive experience.

Ive been coming here for about 7 years and never had a bad experience. The food is surprisingly good and the beer selection the best in Memphis. The staff are awesome (super knowledgeable about beer) and managers good folks. This has a bit of a busy Cheers kind of environment, lots of regulars (which 100% welcome new people) and longterm staff. Come on by!

This is a nice place to hang out and have drinks. Theres tons of beers on drafts. They also have wine and spirits, if you dont like beer. The bartenders are knowledgeable, and the place is busy but quiet enough to here a conversation. Another perk is that this place is a Poke stop - the last time I was here, someone used a lure, too, lol.

Pretty good place. Came here with a couple. The drinks were affordable and tasty the ambiance was enjoyable and so was the company. It was way crowded so ended up standing for like an hour. The parking lot had no space so had to park at the other end of the parking lot but other than that a generally enjoyable spot.

Their pizza pies are out of this world. They go great with a beer - if you dare be so banal . Our waitress was able to identify a stout that I would like to go with the pizza. My wife had a fruit beer that tasted like a cooler-in a good way. Theres so much to discover here, its bound to become a favorite.

I used to live near here and the menu was much better than it is now, but thats a change from corporate not by their own design. Good beers that are always available helps. The bar staff hasnt been the best in the last few visits, but its mainly Because theyre new and Im visiting.

El ambiente es excelente al igual que la atención al público y su variedad en cervezas. Y la decoración única

Of course, the beer selection is incredible. The food varies in quality, but there are several very tasty items on the menu. This one doesnt get as crazy as its downtown counterpart, but still gets a bit busy on weekends and pint night.

Local pub with a ton of local brewery beers. The beer selection will not disappoint you. There is something for everyone to like. The food is also above average pub grub. Gotta get the tots and stuffed jalapenos.

Good sandwiches & salads . Many beers on draft, but almost no red/amber draft beers. Large patio but tables are picnic style, wood benches. Good Monday night pint night special. Brunch special has good price.

New food vendor.... so the wings look like they were snatched off baby quails and the queso could have been taken in through a straw...HOWEVER, the drinks were delicious and the STAFF/MANAGER was a sweetie pie.

Come for the huge selection of beers, stay for... the huge selection of beers. I would give this Memphis tradition 5 stars if they didnt insist on objectifying their wait staff.

Once had a beer thrown in my face by a pill head @ like 1pm on a Monday here. That being said the staff were awesome and the manager paid for my drinks. People suck everywhere.

Beer selection is one of the best around, including local and regional brews. Food is also great. I recommend the prosciutto arugula pizza. Service is always great.

Pretty much any beer you could want, they have it on draft. Little light on the food side but do you really go there for grub? Good bar, lots of TVS, and good staff.

Any kind of beer you could want, but the food is great as well. I have had the German plate, the San Miguel chorizo burger, brazel and rocket tots are a must try!

The wait staff is wonderful. The manager can be a bit prickly but overall things there are great and I am looking forward to finishing up on my first 200 beers.

The beer selection is always changing with the seasonal releases. The waitresses are friendly and knowledgeable and its a great place to hang out with friends.

If you like beer this place has a large selection. They have improved the food and I was impressed the last time I visited. You can throw real darts here.
