IBU Public House

Great first experience here. On the one clear day in a series of rainy weeks we dropped by for lunch with our dog in tow, and they were kind and accommodating in drying off a table in their otherwise empty patio. The beer was great, the food and meat preparation was phenomenal, and our server Grace was friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back for more patio lunches with the pooch.

Historically i would have given this place 5 stars (back when it was managed by ABV public house). But they have at some point separated from previous management. Went here a week or so ago. Did not have good service; it was bad enough for me to contact the management (and write this review). Management did respond satisfactorily, but not spectacular. I was always taught that bad experiences by your customers are opportunities to shine, but management didn't shine. They were acceptable, but not outstanding, so....missed opportunity by them. In any case, food and beer (as always) was great. The bad service was maybe just a fluke, but the missed opportunity to shine by management tells me they either don't have time to be exemplary or don't care to. In either case, after long thought, I eventually decided future outings will be elsewhere because we only go out once or twice a month and i don't want to risk a bad experience.

All in all...
- food and beer (as always) great
- service might be good (historically was always very good)
- management acceptable (historically they were exemplary)

We live nearby but haven't ever gone. We decided to change that today. Our server was so amazing, such a good personality and showed great care to us. The prices for happy hour were really good. The food itself was good as well. My only complaint is that nothing we ordered was hot, it all came out room temp. That is why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5. We will probably give this place one more try, might have just been an off night. P.S. eat the Brussels sprouts!!

Came on a recommendation from a local. The food selection is mostly BBQ meats and burgers which goes really well with their large selection of local area beers and ciders. We went on a Tuesday night and got our food really quickly. I had an elk burger and the "Stout Rushmore" to drink. The elk was not tough or gamey like I've had at other places and the stout was very hearty. Good recommendation and I would pass that along to anyone else.
