My friends and I came by for Thursday Night Trivia, and it was so much fun!! We got there early to eat, and I ordered the sweet and spicy garlic chili, crisp chicken wings, and the Berry Mary to drink, and both were delicious. We had enjoyed trivia and the great vibes. The questions were sooo hard, or actually, we are warming up this week, and next time we will come back strong and make the top 3.

I come to Denizens every Thursday for Nate’s trivia night—he really knows how to run a great event, and the place is always packed. Unfortunately, the consistently high energy of trivia nights doesn’t excuse the lack of attentiveness from a few of the servers. It typically takes around ten minutes just to place an order and even longer for food to arrive, with no updates unless we flag someone down. Servers often don’t write down or verify orders, which leads to mistakes. Last Thursday, one of the male servers reviewed my order at the end of the night and found an error. He did fix it, but the interaction felt rushed and avoidable. There have also been several uncomfortable moments with this same server. While I was paying for my meal (a Sprite and cake), I struggled to find the card rea

Meh. I typically like craft beer places. Wouldn't come back here though. Service was good, food was okay, but expensive, but most disappointing were the beers. I like my IPAs but the IBUs in these were exceedingly high. Even the Triple and the Maibock were bitter. The two romaine lettuce stalks in the Grilled Caesars Salad wasn't grilled. It hit the grill for a few seconds, maybe. Very skimpy on the dressing. We added the steak ($12 extra) and half of it was pretty chewy. Fries were good. But overall, we just didn't feel like we got a good ROI.

Veggie burger was PHENOMENAL! Omg It was so good. Wow, I'm still so impressed by it days later. Best I've had in a very very long time. Fries were excellent also. Club soda was nice and strong. Everyone I was with said what they ordered was very good. Nothing bad to say about this place except that the chairs were kinda uncomfortable. I'll definitely be going back.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Todd Woerner · Dec 2024

Good brewery with different beer styles... both west coast and hazy ipa's, stout, rauchbier, etc. There were no sours on tap when I visited, but they do brew them. Most beers were $8 for a pint. That's a little high for where I'm from ( Charlotte), but probably the going rate for this area. Food was really good! Had the black bean burger and others at the table spoke highly of the hotdogs! Pretzels were really good also!
