Impressions

The House of Brews feels a lot like your everyday sports bar, but it's nice knowing there's an ample beer selection at your fingertips while you wine and dine. Don't expect particularly knowledgeable bartenders when it comes to the beer, though the service was certainly ample. On tap you are sure to find a couple of macros like Bud Light - but don't let that steer you away from noticing the impressive pick of microbrews in stock. The House of Brews serves typical bar & grill fare, though tasty: burgers, ribs, sandwiches and a couple of interesting interpretations.

Vibe: 5 / 10

Service: 7 / 10

Beer Selection: 7 / 10
