Ah...mazing! Great place to meet up with family - kids played games and the adults enjoyed some amazing tap beer selections, and all enjoyed tacos, nachos, street corn, and some really spot on crispy truffle fries! They will take your order but I love using their cell phone ordering system. You can order food and drinks right from your phone whenever you want without having to wait for or flag down a server - and your food or beverage seems to show up like magic at your table. Its amazingly efficient. There were so many beers in the cooler - as an IPA lover I was in heaven and went home with some oldie but goodie hard-to-finds as well as some new ones to try. They even have beer from my home town!! The owner was on hand to help me choose based on what I've enjoyed in the past and man is he knowledgeable! I guarantee I'll be back whenever I'm in town.
The best and widest selection of beers in the area. It was insane how many different breweries and tules of beer this place carries, I'm personally a fan of sours, meads, cocktails, and stouts, no problem with ordering a flight to my tastes. The servers are really nice, the Tom guy was cool as hell and funny, shout out to him. The food is also delicious and hits the spot, their spicy chicken sandwich was actually spicy and filling, go for the truffle fries.
Awesome place I didn’t even realize existed. Just a 3 minute walk from Phase 3. You can buy individual things to go, or drink things from the cooler, or enjoy something on draft. There’s a food menu but I didn’t look at it. Definitely coming back
It was a revaluation of the week to find this gem! Amazing Margarita! Great Burger! And I really enjoyed the QR-code system for ordering on the menu and paying the tab. Definitely recommend to visit and spend a pleasant night at Bottle Theory!
Came here for brunch on a Sunday and wasn't disappointed! Everything was excellent! Mushroom, onion & cheddar omelette, avocado and sausage, sweet potato salad- all outstanding - as was the service and atmosphere. Family friendly. Can't say enough good things about our experience.
Day 2 of opening and all was good. Thumbs up on the tacos, ease of ordering and splitting the bill, owner was super attentive to the clientele, and all in all, just a good vibe.
My friends and I came here for a casual night out. The atmosphere was fun. It seemed like a popular neighborhood spot to hang out. The food was very good and well priced. I had the Southwest Salad. The salad dressing was spicy. This was fine for me but if you don’t like spice pick a different dressing.
Sunday brunch was really great, watch the Bears game with mimosas and a great assortment of breakfast items. Any other day of the week, enjoy a new beer or cider, glass of wine or Meade. The package store is also super convenient if you need a grab and go. Lots of tv’s and couches make this a very comfortable place to hang out.
