Stopped in because it is a place with a good rating. Friendly local bar where even a stranger feels welcome. I enjoyed my beer, but did not realize there is no hard liquor. I will come back, but my normal ‘shot and beer’ habit must be quenched somewhere else. Food looked/smelled good but TBH I left after 1 beer to head for my normal spot. BUT if I you like beer/wine and a friendly place…stop in!

Teri’s Tavern – Menu with Prices – 2120 S 11th St, Waco

Teri’s Tavern feels like a party in your backyard ! The band is awesome and the people are inviting. Beer,water and wine spritzers are available for purchase. A nice relaxing spot to stop by.

1912 Brewing Company – Menu with Prices – 2045 N, Forbes Blvd #105, Tucson

I came here for the Beer & Empanada pairing. I enjoyed the vibe of this place, but TBH this spot is a little out of the way for me since my hood is a bit further east/north. But, I dig that you can get a beer and Tucson Tamale at the same time! The service was a bit slow, but we did have a table of 6ish people. I enjoyed the empanadas and the beer pairings. I actually really enjoyed the Stout (didn’t think I would) and the Gose. I was surprised since I am usually an IPA lover- I found theirs to be super good but too hoppy for my palette that night. I am not sure this would be my new spot given the location – but I enjoyed the little event and trying out a new bar!

Thirsty Joe’s Draft House – Menu with Prices – 3300 W Cary St Suite D, Richmond

If you are looking for casual food options but also want a drink… this is probably your spot. There is Zzaam where you can get Korean food and then Sweet and Saucy if you want BBQ…. there is also a drink/dessert spot Kokee Tea where you can get bubble tea, or ice cream in a puffle cone. Basically you can sit at any of the spots each little restaurant gives you a number if you ordered anything and they deliver to your table. If you want beer you will need to see the attendant and get a card so you can self serve yourself beer, cider or wine. Supposedly they cap you at 64 oz but as long as you are not wasted of anything they say they can override it if you get to that point. As far as the spot goes…. it’s very family friendly. Though I wish it was bigger than what it is. I also don’t get why a lot of beer places are going for bar chairs and table tops instead of regular height tables and chairs. That would be my only complaint not the most comfortable. Though where the food options are there are normal tables and chairs but limited. Plus if you get there around noon half the tables are difficult to sit at due to the incredible sun that comes through… it would probably be better if they get some blinds. The draft room has games you can rent it seems like since the attendant oversees it. We brought our own since we weren’t sure if they had anything to occupy our three and a half year old. As both my husband are beer, wine and cider drinkers you would think this would be heaven…. but we were both kind of disappointed with the selection. We drink just about all beer, wine and cider but we felt like the selection kind of lacked. Just to give you an idea of our favorite RVA breweries/cideries…. Strangeways, Hardywood, The Answer, Busky are probably our top places. I feel like if you are expecting something like any of the four I mentioned you may come out pretty disappointed. Though because of the food options and how it’s casual, both my husband and I said we would be back since it’s pretty family friendly. It’s nice that it’s not just one food truck option like most breweries or no options for food. So if you are hungry and are wanting to do some tastings definitely check it out. On another note… parking is kind of a pain since it’s in Carytown… definitely stinks in the winter. My bet is when it gets nicer, traffic will really pick up since it looks like they have some nice outdoor seating!

EagleMonk Pub and Brewery – Menu with Prices – 4906 W Mt Hope Hwy, Lansing

My friend and I went on a quick trip to visit breweries in Grand Rapids and stopped at EagleMonk on the way home. Honestly, their beer was the best of the entire trip! We were the first people there of the day and sat quickly at the bar. The bartender was super friendly and helpful to choose one of many beers on their list. We both each got a flight, and the first beer I tried was my favorite of the whole trip! It was the Instigator, and even though the description said winter, I thought it was still not too heavy. Both of us enjoyed our flights while we hung out chatting with the staff and other patrons who stopped in. Everyone was extremely friendly, and the bartender was helpful to give us information about other breweries in the area and talked with us about other Michigan breweries. He also gave us a few additional samples for free while we waited for him to fill our growlers. The space is a decently sized inside and their outdoor patio is dog friendly and awesome. I was sad that we were just passing through because I would have loved to stay, drink more beer, and eat some of their pizza because it looked and smelled delicious!

Divided Vine Beer & Wine Bar – Menu with Prices – 861 N Higley Rd #116, Gilbert

Seriously, a gem of a spot! I have worked around the corner from here for yearrrrrs and had no clue this was so close. Wine and beer on happy hour until 7pm lured me in the door, but the excellent service and friendly guys behind the bar will keep me coming back. They had a food truck on site out back serving up fresh pizza and I saw some others bring food in to have with their beverages. We tried a bottle of organic red wine, and the happy hour price was $18. I can’t recall the last time I had a bottle of wine for under $30, let alone organic. I will be back to try out some of that extensive beer list in the near future!

Brandywine Bar and Bottle Shop – Menu with Prices – 2408 W Northwest Blvd, Spokane

I highly recommend Brandywine for both enjoying and purchasing wine and beer. I have visited several times and am very impressed with their exceptional bottle and tap list (WINE ON TAP, people, is a glorious thing). In addition to friendly, knowledgeable service, great beer/wine/cocktails and lovely food, the live music on weekends provides a very welcoming ambiance indeed. And if you need beer or wine suggestions, they can be trusted to advise you perfectly! I needed to bring a bottle of wine to a recent dinner party, and asked the owner John for his advice on what to provide for people really into wine. He suggested a Cab Franc from Oregon which ended up being such a tremendous, delicious hit with everyone that I will absolutely rely on John’s wine recommendations henceforth. So if you’re stopping by to enjoy the well-curated tap offerings, be sure to take advantage of their insightful take-away beverage advice as well.

The Broadway Wine Merchants – Menu with Prices – 17 Oakway Center, Eugene

I really enjoyed this neighborhood wine bar! I pass this spot every day and finally decided it was time to give it a try. While I didn’t get to the food (which looked pretty enticing with charcuterie boards, sandwiches, and other finger foods) the wine was excellent! The staff were extremely helpful in helping us decide on a glass, and there was quite a selection of house wines and other specials to try. There is also a wine store within where you can buy a bottle to take home (mostly upper end on pricing, but there is also quite the $10 selection as well) or they will open it for you there for a $5 corking fee. It is a nice, intimate space with Sunday mimosas and brunches, a T.V with the game on, and a great place for conversation. There are also tables outside to sit and watch the Oakway passerby! They also have a wine club and always seems to have events going on.

Sams Pub & Lounge – Menu with Prices – 4657 W Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy, Kissimmee

It is a dive bar! It is a cheap beer and wine joint that has poker. This is not something you can compare to a wine bar. Went here because we just wanted a drink. Did not expect absolutely anything. In fact, that is the best way to approach this place. Expect NOTHING, including liquor. Just wine and beer and cheap. If you just want to get out and you are in the fleabag hotel nearby for one night, this dive bar will fill the docket. Cheap, cheap, cheap beer and wine and service was good albeit we were a party of 3 and the only party. Service was great, we had the server to ourselves. She stayed open for us. I did not look at my bar stool which was a good idea. Not sure when the last time they cleaned it. It was a cow hide over a nice wooden stool that also had not been cleaned for some time. Go in have a cold beer and or cheap glass of wine, the 3 dollar bottle wine you get at Walmart and pay I think 2-3 dollars a glass and walk back to the cheap hotel. Bathrooms were about the same as the bar, and there is a poker on some nights. Parking looked easy if you drove. Would come back if we are on that side of town.

Lula Drake Wine Parlour – Menu with Prices – 1635 Main St #2817, Columbia

Lula Drake is a very nice wine bar on main street in Columbia We wanted to check this wine bar out for the past couple of weeks, because it’s been highly recommended by friends. Because they’re located on main street , there is available street and garage parking nearby. The street parking is free after 6pm if you find some. Upon entering the wine bar we was greeted by bartender Jessica, who was very courtesy and professional while interacting with all of the guests. We had already eaten earlier this afternoon so we just decided to have a glass of wine, a local draft beer, and a cheese board. The wife said she enjoyed her wine, but felt that $11 a glass for Moscato was kind of high for a smaller city like Columbia. I had the Cabarrus Vanilla Coffee Blonde beer which was just okay, and kind of tasted just like a simple local draft beer. Now the ambience and vibe was very excellent. I would highly recommend it to friends and family members who want to have some good wine in the area.

Spec’s Wines, Spirits & Finer Foods – Menu with Prices – 1434 S Valley Mills Dr, Waco

With the exception of Total Wine, Specs is my favorite store for liquor, beer and wine. Why? Because they never let me down. Always well staffed and no long waits. The staff is knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. I always spend too much because they are always well stocked. Although this is a small location, they have a quality selection of beer and I am very picky about my beer. I drive past Twin Liquor and all the mom n pop liquor spots in Waco to come here. Wish we had them in Ohio.

Maxline Brewing – Menu with Prices – 2724 McClelland Dr #190, Fort Collins

Nice little brewery! I have been to Maxline a few times now and I have always enjoyed my experience. I have enjoyed the beer options and their selection has grown, along with the seating, over these first three years. I have enjoyed the Irish Red ale and their IPA options when I am there. It is hard to say that any of the beers stand out in my mind as a favorite, but it’s pretty solid work. That being said, I have a couple friends who would say they have a favorite brew on tap here. I really enjoy the patio area and the expansion inside for additional seats since they first opened. The staff has always been rather friendly and helpful, allowing me to try a small taste of a beer before committing to a pint and that is much appreciated! On most of my visits there has been a food truck just outside with good food options to enjoy with my beer. I have recommended this spot to many people who are looking for a brewery to try, since many people do not know it is here. This might be because the location is not well advertised. It is on McClelland, which is not a street many people use who are not locals. There doesn’t seem to be anything that really draws your eye to the spot when driving by either and I feel like that could use some work. I will continue to come to this brewery because I enjoy good beer and I like the neighborhood feel of the place. I feel like is what is going to make all the difference in these next few years with all of the new beer options. Keep up the good work and I will certainly update my review when that standout beer comes along for me.

Coomber Craft Wines Oceanside – Menu with Prices – 611 Mission Ave, Oceanside

Came here for the third time today and had been thinking about canceling a wine club membership at another winery and joining this one instead because it is so much closer than Temecula. First time we visited we had a good time. Did a wine tasting of red wines and were supposed to not pay for the tasting since we bought two bottles of wine. Noticed later we were charged for the tasting but let it go, thinking it was just a mistake. Second time we went the same thing we happened. Noticed before we left and had the charge taken off. Were having a good time with Heidi but then she just disappeared and we were left with Ian. He was not friendly with us but was with several other customers, some regulars. With my husband and me he would not interact and did not make eye contact or attempt any kind of conversation. Tonight we again did red wine tasting and had fun with Heidi. She again disappeared, maybe left for the night but without letting us know. Ian again was friendly with other people and even gave the couple next to us a complimentary glass of wine. I mentioned I would like one as well, which he totally ignored. He continued being friendly with the couples to each side of my husband and myself but actively ignored us. We bought two bottles of wine and for about 45 minutes tried to attract Ian’s attention to get the bottle corked so we could leave. At 8:45 he came over to us and told us it was past last call, he could not sell any more wine. We asked for our bottle to be corked, which he did. His attitude these last two times made me not ever want to go back and I will not be joining the wine club here based solely on his behavior and lack of customer service. Heidi was always nice enough but her habit of disappearing without letting us know also made me leery of joining the wine club because if she isn’t there I do not want to be stuck just dealing with Ian. I don’t mind over paying for wine if I am given good customer service but this place is really not a friendly place to try new wines and have fun.
