We came here for my brother's birthday to get the wings we heard so much about. Went to the barfirstro get a drink, was told by a server that we had to go up to the bar after being there for a while. Ok, could have told a party of eight people that before.... went to the host stand, the host must have passed us half a dozen times and servers before even greeting us as we stood there with a 14 month old in s carrier. The place was only 1/3 full, so there was no reason to keep passing us as if the host was slammed. Sat down, our server was the best, but there was no. consistently anywhere else. Ordered the same drink twice, the second time it was a completely different drink that had to go back. The cheese curds were AMAZING. However, I ordered the shrimp and bacon mac and cheese which should have included shrimp, bacon and green peppers. There was only shrimp, they just left out the rest. Sorry Half Day, get your game up a little. As a former server, I know it can be hard to create consistency.... but this is a total train wreck. Yikes!

Fantastic beer selection, Half Day brews and plenty of other crafts. Serious Bacon burger was very good, the house made pickles really topped it off. Ample seating, background noise was just enough to still carry on a conversation. Reserved via OpenTable and was seated immediately.

We held a private event at Half Day. It was a wonderful experience. Karen was very detail oriented with our group. The food was wonderful. The micro beers were a huge hit with the crowd. I recommend Half Day Brewing and we will book our next event here. It was a great experience.

Walked to the host stand and waited for the Hostess to get off her phone. Asked to be seated on the patio for a round of beers. Took the server 10min to great us, 10min to receive the beers, and we stopped waiting for the check (had to go up front and ask for it). We spent more time waiting than drinking the beer. Hope it's not the norm.

House brew and guest taps. Did not eat. 7/24/19 visit.

I've been here several times. Excellent selection of local beers. Food is always on par. Wings are phenomenal. Restaurant is always spotless and the service has always been great. Well worth checking out.

The last vist was ruined at the end of the meal. The server brought out the bill and then informed us that there would be a 4% surcharge for using any kind of credit card, including debit, which we were using. We often would go here because the beers and food are pretty good. The indoor dining isn't that great but the outdoor seating is pleasant. The 4% surcharge is a great way to sour a visit as a last impression.

Customer service was great, prices reasonable at a flight for $10, and clean bathroom. I liked the outdoor area with fountain. I felt the beer was just OK, but food was alright. I wondered whether in the age of cancel culture their logo might be changed from an Indian to something more Half Day Road or local related. I'd eat there again though.

Four of us had dinner there last week and when our bill arrived we were advised there was a 4% surcharge for using a credit card!! Surprise! There was no mention of that when we sat down or ordered, so all the prices on the menu were actually 4% higher than indicated. What a ripoff! And ownership leaves it up to the poor waitstaff to explain it. Management doesnt even have the courage to be upfront about it.
That's the LAST time we eat there and we'll not be bashful about letting our friends know.

Thanks for the response. If you're going to charge more for credit card users, you need to be honest about it and put that info on the menu AND notify guests before they're seated. Let guests chose if they're willing to pay more BEFORE they order anything. It is dishonest to not inform guests of your pricing scheme AND the poor waitstaff has to deal with guests when they get the surprise prices on their checks. Not fair to them either.

It was weird from the start. Our server was wearing sunglasses (inside) and spoke so quiet that every time she came to the table we had to ask her to repeat what she said. My wife got the shrimp salad which was the reason we went there (she's had it in the past) so she enjoyed her meal. I however got the bacon burger with chips and was quite disappointed. The brioche bun was crumbling which tells me it wasn't fresh. And the burger, while cook well, was underwhelming. The miss mash of bacon aoli and bacon jam with the merks cheese did not mix well. The chips were greasy and did not taste fresh as well. With so many good options in the area I would not go back.

I did go here a while back so I am not sure if things have changed for the better or worse. If you like man buns and terrible food this is the place for you. The beer was what is to be expected and was fine. The service was on the slower side. What was terrible was the food quality. My dad, who is a chef, had to point out the the waiter that the pickle was black. After seeing that our appetite was pretty much ruined. The burger was not that great either. I would check this place out for beer but not much else. Tell the staff to check the food quality. Nothing was done to remedy the situation, just some clueless look from the waiter, who looked like he had seen a lot of complaints before. Would not return, check out Beer Market for better beers and any other local restaurant for food. There is a bunch of decent places by Beer Market. (Tom and Eddies, Real Urban, Roti to name a few). Place was pretty empty on a week night and I think I know why.

Great beer selection. Sandwiches and wraps are priced like downtown so don't expect a cheap evening out. Food is good, and so was our service. Great outdoor patio area with fire pits and bags.

Great atmosphere, beer is delicious and different, the options are fantastic. I had a burger, and the cheese curds, all of which was top notch. The patio was so cool, service was exceptional. Highly recommend.

This restaurant had very good food. The portions were not too small and not too large. Being as it was a brew pub, I had to have a beer. I chose the Half Day Amber which was very nice but not as smooth as I would have liked. Personal preference - not a knock against the beer. The ambiance was not as warm as I would like. Again, personal preference. Our wait staff was great!

Great beer and food. I sat down at the bar and was helped immediately. The place was packed on a Wednesday and everyone looked like they were having a great time. Really cool building. Highly recommend.

I'm a big beer guy, and I've got to say - bar service and in-house brewing were on point! Bartender helped me pick a monthly special that suited my taste, and the beer itself was spot on. Love it! Suburban restaurants are usually crushingly lame. Didn't get that vibe at the brewery :)

Terrible service. Saw our waiter 4 times in 3 hours. They had no bus boys on staff so our server just let the dirty plates pile up on the table. When someone ordered a hamburger and it was still bleeding inside he told them to order it well done next time. Brutal

The atmosphere and location is great, good place to catch a game too. That being said, the beer is average at best, I usually order beer in a bottle or can as the draft beer they brew onsite is of a lower quality and taste. Also, the service is atrocious - the servers are slow and disorganized. Leadership from management is clearly lacking, I actually walked out the last time I visited after not having anyone bring me water or take my order 15 minutes after being seated. The food is actually pretty good, you just have to be prepared to deal with poor service.

I love Half Day. I've come here a lot. They have a great craft beer selection. My favorite appetizers are the deviled eggs and the loaded chips (the cheese sauce is SO GOOD!) Burgers are great too, especially the bacon one. I've also had the Braise of the Day and the Smoked Chicken alfredo with great results. My favorite reason for coming here though, aside from the great food, is their dog-friendly patio in summer! Everyone's always super nice to my pup and it's a very nice atmosphere to have a meal in.

Food was ok the burger I had the bun literally fell apart on me they might as well of not givin it to me on a bun, the service was ok found the hostess a little rude and the only really good thing was there beer selection.

Great food and beer at reasonable prices. The devil's catsup sauce on the wings have really good flavor and the pretzel is massive. Tables are spread apart responsibly and staff are appropriately wearing facemasks.

Great place. Like the food and the beer.I may have to edit this review eventually. But they're doing great takeout meals during this time of stay at home. And I know now their patio is open. Haven't visited that yet. But enjoy the place overall.

Good beers with good food. They used to have a dumb credit card charge, but they now removed it. Servers are friendly and conversational if that is what you like. I really enjoy their steam beer with the ultimate bacon burger.

Don t understand how this place has bad reviews even if most are good. The food is great bar food. They do a great job of updating the beer menu... wish they would get more ballast point beers on tap... employees are all really nice. They offer a very generous rewards program.. food is fairly priced and of good quality. Always have good music playing. Live atmosphere. House beers are above average and very cheap... get over yourself if you complain about this place

My husband and I went tonight with our 8-year old, and we were presented with the option of waiting 20-25 minutes for the dining room or seating ourselves at a high top by the bar. We chose to sit by the bar at the high top table. The table had drink menus only, and we had planned to each order our drinks. Another party (with only adults) sat down about five minutes after we did. They were given menus and water and the red-headed waitress acknowledged them right away. She had to pass our table no fewer than three times, and she never once said "someone will be right with you." We left and it will be a while before we consider coming back. My husband enjoyed your food and beer at a work party, and he was trying to get me to try it for the first time. Disappointing service...

Really cool place to eat. I love the decor here and the grape/apple salad was delicious. The server was really nice too and everything was surprisingly fast given how many people were there.
