Urban Chestnut Grove Brewery and Bierhall

Really cool bar but got shafted on the salt with our pretzels :/ Edit: there is salt in the butter!!!!! Second edit, pretzels are awesome.

Cool place to go with a couple of friends, not the best choice for food. This place is huge on the inside with plenty of picnic style eating. At the entry, there are lots of arcade games and a pool table ($2.50/30 minutes). They also have 2 posting lots, the one further from the door is bigger but it’s about a 2 minute walk. They serve German dishes and my partner and I tried the Brat Sandwich with Potato Salad & Burger with Fries. These flavors were new to us and not for our palettes. The mustard on the sandwich is strong & we didn’t like the sweetness of the meat. Potato salad is not good at all, left the skin on and it was really tough, like baking potato skin. The burger was just decent, not overly flavorful and not many toppings. The fries were deplorable. They were cold and tasted like they’d been sitting out for a while before we even placed our order. We really wanted to try the loaded fries but they were out of cheese and wouldn’t serve them.

Good beer and atmosphere. However, the German food I had was a bit disappointing. The schnitzel would have been better with gravy. The breading on the schnitzel flakes off quite easily. And I would have rather had mashed potatoes or almost any other side than French fries which is what it comes with.

Nice big space, lots of their own beers with seasonal specials. Good food.

Tried the zwickel and it was so bad I asked if she would swap for the German Pilsner. This is not just “bad” beer. Something is wrong with the lines or brewing process. Also, the person pouring my beer was on the phone and the tap was in my beer. Just get a can of old style and throw some roasted pennies in it and you’ll have better beer. Awful representations of two of my favorite styles of beer.
