"I’m really on the fence with this review. The service and ambience were great. It’s a trendy little neighborhood bar with good music and good people. Three draft beers with common names and off we were to our table. The beer is brewed offsite but it’s Meeting’s beer: love that. However, the food left much to be desired. The bread and butter were good, fries were done right but the clams and Turkey BLT…meh. The clams were so chewy…I mean like, super chewy and I could not cut into it with my teeth. I had one: full stop. Now ordering a Turkey BLT, one should not expect the moon but since there’s about 7 - 8 things on the menu I would hope that each dish is done to near-perfection. It was not. It was essentially basic. Did I eat everything save for the clams? Yes. Would I go back? For sure. The service, people and beer are worth another pass. And I’ll definitely try another dish but I won’t go hungry. Live music would definitely draw me back in!"

"Simplicity is underrated. Nail the basics and you’ll have a great place. Meetinghouse does this so well. Excellent food program with local beers and tasty cocktails. Friendly service. An elevated experience. Highly recommended place to grab some food and imbibe in comfort."

"Finally made it in for our fist visit as the new spot, and we were really impressed. Great ambience for brunch. It was nice and bright in the front room, and calm and quieter in the back at the tables. They were also playing great music, and the service was very good. Both bartenders were friendly, attentive, and pleasant. I can understand how the limited menu might not be for everyone, and to be fair it's a fairly unique and uncommon concept for a bar/restaurant, but I kind of liked it. It was nice to just have simple, solid options that they do well, and it felt kind of rustic and like a throw back to way earlier times. I'm not sure about the mixed reviews about the food on here, because everything that we had was very good. I do, however, agree about the small plates. Why so small guys? It made the sandwich a little hard to eat. Overall, we had a great experience and even though we don't live anywhere near this neighborhood We'll definite make the trip back up for another visit soon."

"Succulent thick chonk roast beef, firm upper bun, bottom bun nestled in a delicious pool of Au jus soaking up those beefy fluids. No dipping required. The beers on tap are always perfect, nothing flashy, nothing boring. Orval is a classic! I always seek out the ring delivering trout in a chalice. The people are great. Memphis was a staple for us and meetinghouse carries the building in a very respectable and appreciated way. Monday night oysters are for making memories and traditions, just don't tell anybody."

"Love it here! The menu is succinct but everything we’ve tried so far has been excellent. Today we had the bread and butter, fries, salads and a roast beef sandwich - all of which were excellent. All three beers they make are also delicious. I am not a hoppy beer fan but the Mount Pleasant is stellar. We’ve been hear three times since they opened and will be back often"
