Jake SmithOctober 14, 2013Want to be polite and popular? Get a growler to share with friends. A full growler: a mighty good thing to bring to a party or tailgate. Two full growlers: even better.Upvote8Downvote
George LeeJune 26, 2016Chicken thigh appetizer with mo BBQ sauce! Perfect crisp. Beer is plentiful from the tap and very cheap.

Joy LerchMay 11, 2015My daughter took me for Mothers day. We have been before and enjoyed ourselves both times. We shared a burger and fish tacos. Both are delicious.Upvote6Downvote- Djaniella D.July 20, 2015If you're a root beer fan, try theirs because it's made in-house and one of the best I've had. Also try the cheese dip w/ pretzel, fish & chips, & burgers! Food takes a while to come out on weekends.

Steve PolandApril 19, 2016Beer was very very good. Double D IPA is great and the Apricot Wheat was delicious- and I'm not a big wheat guy. Food was ehn- pizza or burger is likely the move here (not burrito).UpvoteDownvote
NikksterAugust 3, 2015The bartender (Ross) is AMAZING! We drove from Michigan to PA & he was beyond helpful. Great service with a stellar personality. Way to rock, Ross!!

Jenna HammondOctober 5, 2011One of my family's favorites! Order the Rarebit as an appetizer. The name makes you think it's rabbit (ew), but it's actually fresh bread with delicious cheese sauce. Yum! Oh, and have a beer!Upvote1Downvote
Zach LonsingerAugust 13, 2014The pretzel is unbelievably large!! Must get!! And if you like beer, you need to come to Otto's!!

Steven SeltzerAugust 21, 2016Awesome dinner. Try the white bean roasted garlic hummus. Best dinner yet (have been going here for years) is the seafood boil. It's a wow!UpvoteDownvote
Kim RosenblumMay 18, 2012Love this place, Home microbrewery, they can have anything from seared ahi tuna to a plain old hamburger..they like to change and rotate their menu. I wish they would bring back the ahi it rocked!UpvoteDownvote- Chris PFebruary 14, 2016Buffalo chicken mac 'n cheese with Black Mo bbq sauce was delicious. Creole crab dip was very good, but the pretzels were too salty. Beer beer beer!!!!UpvoteDownvote
Kathleen WiseMay 1, 2013Servers, Hostess, Staff in general = top notch!! Thanks to Megan, Colin & gorgeous Hostess, whose name I missed! Food awesome & unique... Love Beer(s)! Do yourself a favor....;-)UpvoteDownvote
Yes, for those who aren't solid beer fans, the apricot wheat is really good. Ok, even if you are a solid fan, the apricot wheat is great. And so are some of the hard, semi-dry ciders!UpvoteDownvote
Matthew CollMay 9, 2016Local food. Pizza. Pretzels, craft beer, local spirits. Dinner. TVs. Lunch. No reservations except club membersUpvoteDownvote
Amanda WrayApril 15, 2012slow but friendly service; long wait on weekends/football season; great burgers/ pizza/ microbrews; reasonable price; lots of parking; away from campus; getting growler filled is a great optionUpvote1Downvote
Vincent CorsoOctober 9, 2011It's hard to say what is better the food or the beer. The burgers are so good it's hard to pass them up. Pizza Monday may be the best deal in town. Go in now and try the seasonal OktoberfestUpvoteDownvote
My husband and I love to split a pitcher of Spruce Creek Lager and a pizza or their brisket sandwich. Very affordable and yum. Stay away from the nachos- way too little toppings 4 the price.UpvoteDownvote
The Black Mo, Red Mo and Apricot Wheat are some of my all time favorite beers.
UpvoteDownvote- Bill GJanuary 4, 2019Had a great dinner. Only tried 2 beers they were both good. Service was greatUpvoteDownvote
Rohan ThakkarNovember 8, 2013The burger is a must, the meatball grinder is as big as a forearm, and fries are great.Upvote1Downvote
Joey AckleyOctober 1, 2014The beer here is great. Big bold flavors. Beer done right, true to style.UpvoteDownvote
All the beers are pretty solid. Keep your eye out for their excellent seasonals.

Nathan MillerFebruary 15, 2012Try the Grand Marnier Soaked Chocolate Covered Strawberries - Bottom line this is how I will make them from now on loved it with the Jolly RogerUpvoteDownvote- Great food. Usually the wait is not so long but we had to wait a long time to be seated, and a longer time to get our food! First time we have ever been so disappointed!UpvoteDownvote
- Stephanie SteinbacherNovember 12, 2017Root beer is amazing! Hubby loves the Red Mo. Drove an hour for it :)Upvote1Downvote

Get the Gemelli pretzel app with the hot mustard sauce. I get it EVERY time I'm there as I can't resist it. You won't be disappointed!UpvoteDownvote

Josh CostaNovember 12, 2011The beers are fantastic! Food is all from local farms, bakeries, etc. Great job.Upvote1Downvote
Alison MajikesSeptember 9, 2012The fish tacos are phenomenal. So is the hard cider when they have it on rotation.UpvoteDownvote
MartenSeptember 24, 2014Tge behavior of staff regarding the seating is disrespectful and plain wrong. We were just gathering and they did not allow us to sit at the second table unless there is 6+ of us despite reservation.UpvoteDownvote
