Mainstay Independent Brewing Company

"Nice brewery , cool games your able to play plenty of seating , shares a warehouse with craft hall kitchen where you can order food if I’m not mistaken they are separate but share the space but you are able to order food to your"

"One rating, everyone knows the rules: 4.8 Overall opinion: will come back for the beers and if I have a large group, but not for the food or atmosphere if with a smaller group. Details below. The positives: large space, great for big groups especially if you have kids, tons of games and things to do, staff is really great, cheese bar with specialty cheese options, smokehouse pizza was good (tasted like a barbecue chicken pizza with a hint of sausage and the crust was pretty good), beers were really good as well (had the Continental Lager and Compound Kolsch; fiancee liked the Clear Hitch). The negatives: the burger looked good but tasted awful, I honestly can't say for sure they used ground beef it was that bad. While there's a ton of space, it isn't a very cozy place to go and have a beer because of its more industrial building feel. The kids were pretty loud making it not a great place to relax."

"What an amazing place! I didn’t know this building was so huge. Massive place and great beer. Also the food is pretty good as well. We got a huge assortment of food, wings, fries etc. This place is littered with amazing photos and art about American history, very cool! It’s kinda weird saying this but it’s a family friendly brewery, they have a chickens and rabbits outside, and games. They also have a bunch of TVs great for watching the games. I’m definitely going back soon."

"Had a wonderful experience at this new brewery! The staff was friendly, informative and attentive. We enjoyed two tasty flights of their in-house brewed beer and had a hard time picking a favorite, because there were a few. We enjoyed two delicious items from their snack section of the menu and they were both scrumptious; the crab dip was on point, as well as the sliders."

"We noticed there was a new establishment at the old Yard's space on our way up Delaware Ave and made note to definitely come back. So we stopped in after after Evil Genius on a little mini brew tour to check out this new spot. Things are generally setup as before, but we were here at 4:30pm and it was extremely dim inside. We needed to utilize our cell phone flashlights (we're all the ripe age of 30) just to see the menus. Two humans of our 5 person party went up to the bar to order food and drink. We received our beverages and a number for our food order and sat back down. We tried a few different beers and our drinks were great. Once our food arrived (cheeseboard and crab dip) we immediately asked for more bread, as we were a party of 5 and there were 5 pieces for the cheeseboard and 5 for the crab dip and we knew the portion sizes required more sharing than that. Our server obliged, but after we each finished our two pieces we sat for about 10 minutes before inquiring a second time about additional bread. All the meanwhile still having to use our phones to see the cheeseboard and crab dip. When finally our requested bread arrived, it was only 3 pieces for our 5 person party. We left, completely unsatisfied to head to the new Yard's Brewery where we are currently enjoying great beer, good food, in a well lit environment. Safe yourself the trouble, just go to Yard's."
