Good food, good beer. Not a place I would recommend if you’re dining in a large group. If you’re dining with 6 people or less it would probably work out better. Also make sure you arrive early to find parking.

We're glad that you enjoyed our food and beer! Those are definitely two of the things that we pride ourselves on. As for large groups we do recommend a making a reservation as space, especially on a Friday and Saturday, fills up quickly. Let us know if you want to bring in a large group for the future and we would be happy to make a reservation for you!

Came to Alter Brewing to celebrate a birthday with a group of 15. Setting up the reservation was seamless and had no issues with it being large group for dinner. Loved the side room we were given which felt like a more private area but still had great views into the main dining area. Very well decorated and lit, good beer and food. Medium pricing but portions were ok. Staff was friendly and service was quick. We finished in about 90 mins and paid on one check.

I was served a chicken sandwich that had moldy bread. If it wasn’t for my friend noticing the mold, I could’ve become sick. I appreciate that they comped me a chicken sandwhich, but I feel like that Shouldn’t have been a problem in the first place. The beers were ok, some beers were skunked and seemed old. I just think some more care into the products they serve should be done.

Thank you for letting us know. We do take great pride in our products so hearing that our standards slipped, even if for a moment, was disheartening to say the least. The front of house management and chefs in the kitchen have been working closely with staff, our brewers, and our suppliers to make sure that this kind of thing does not happen again. We hope to see you sometime in the future so that we can show you our high quality Alter experience is only getting better over time!

They had an excellent pale bock beer on tap. It's one of my favorite styles and you don't see it very often. Please keep making that!

Really cute spot and location. We made reservations for a Saturday night at 7pm. When we arrived there was absolutely no parking but, again, it was a Saturday night. We were sat quickly, but the service was poor the whole night. No one was really checking on us and there were times we were sitting with empty drinks and empty plates for a while. Food was okay, not a huge menu. Beer was good, but again, not a huge menu.

Had to leave without eating because despite our reservation, we were not offered any reasonable table. I know it’s a brewery but it was really like a refugee camp there. It was like they gave up. Awkward placement of tiny tables- at least that’s how we felt because the only free table we were offered was a tiny one in a hidden corner. No one even asked to wait for 20-30 minutes when something is available. Completely turned off by the poor service and mgmt. attitude. Wasn’t going to spend a couple of hundred $ for that experience. Been to this place before in summer, sat outside and enjoyed our visit then.

I thought I was going to an upscale brewery with a great menu. It is more like restaurant trying to share some space for a sports bar. I am not sure why it was so loud. I sat in the back of the restaurant far from the bar space and was yelling my food orders and conversation. The food was just ok. My expectations were higher based on the pictures and menu posted on the website.

Went here for dinner with my husband on a Saturday evening. Reservations were easy to get. Sandwich and burger were good. Fries were cold and tasted like they had been sitting around awhile before we got them. Beer was good but overpriced ($9 for a pint?!), so we only had one each. Interior of the space is very nice. They also have a very nice outdoor space, which we might try next time, because the A/C was blasting inside and it was freezing. They were clearly short handed. It took a long time for us to be able to order drinks (or even to be acknowledged by our server - almost 10 minutes!), and we didn’t see anyone bussing tables the whole time we were there. The table behind us had dirty dishes on it when we arrived that were still there when we left. We’ll go back, but hopefully they can staff up, because the ever present dirty dishes is not a good look.

We love Alter beer, so decided to try the restaurant. Nice environment. Friendly servers. The giant pretzel was awesome. The food was good. The only gripes were that the seared Tuna too well done, and the fries were cold. Beanie ordered the Big Mick and said it was way too salty. Still had a great time, and would definitely come back here again.

Place looks cool. Crazy loud with tables maybe 1/4 taken. We sat outside- much better. Bang Bang Chicken and Blackened Cod (probably 1/3 of a standard cod fillet) were both just okay. Fries were good. Terribly overpriced for what you get- like most places these days. Server was pleasant. This was a one and done.
