The Brewer's Art

"My husband and I previously viewed Brewers Art as a staple in the neighborhood, until today….After having a wonderful dinner at the restaurant, we ordered dessert from their menu to-go. Once getting home we learned that the kitchen literally sent us home with an order of burnt cookies, which were black on the bottom and the top. We believe that it was intentional given that no one in their right mind would have served this. Absolutely ridiculous and poor service! Very disappointed!"

"A genuine two in one experience here. Upstairs is sweetness and light with a Charles street view and downstairs is a cozy area with lighting suitable for a romantic evening. The Resurrection is great and so was my burger special. I could have used a bit more burger though to go with the sublime rosemary fries."

"The beer here is amazing. The food was really good. We had the chicken schnitzel which had a very good taste. It said mushroom sauce but just looked like sautéd mushrooms. The cheeseburger tasted fresh off a charcoal grill. Service was good but there was one waiter working the entire floor. He did great. Nothing fancy about plated dishes here."

"Excellent food and great portion size. I ordered the chicken schnitzel and was impressed with the amount of chicken and the texture on the breading. The mushroom sauce was also quite tasty. The anniversary beer (XXVII) was well done, nice and malty. They had about 6 beers on tap, all made in house. So, not an extensive selection, but solid. The building itself is a magnificent old structure with hardwood floors and high vaulted ceilings with nice detailing, but is a bit well worn. The main thing was, the vibe of the place was just kind of dead. It was a Saturday night and it wasn't packed yet had to make reservations. The basement bar wasn't very packed either. People watching wasn't the greatest, everyone was very subdued and not in a quiet romantic date kind of way. Great food, good beer, nice staff."

"This brewery/bar/restaurant is awesome. They brew their own beer, which I've heard is really good. As a (symptomatic) celiac myself, I highly recommend it for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity; they offer cider, mead, and gluten free beer. Amazing! Plus, on the cocktail menu, they mark the drinks that contain gluten (so thoughtful!). They have a separate fryer, and they're knowledgeable about cross contamination. I've had the rosemary and garlic fries, which are delicious, and had no symptoms after. Cool vibes both upstairs and downstairs."
