Extremely unsurprising news lol. Their beers were mediocre and the last time I was there, we witnessed a full on brawl between staff. Entertaining but sounds like a disastrously managed place. Hope a better spot opens there cuz it’s a cool location

Also a weird location with mediocre food.

Agree on the food comment but I liked the location. York has a good stretch of stuff goin on and I liked having a brewery there

I feel like there's nothing else there. I mean, Belvedere square is nearby, but that area is a little too sketch for me to want to wander around while drinking through 2 blocks of nothing. And belvedere is pretty much just daytime.

Compared to other breweries which are either big (Union) so need to be isolated, or in the center of neighborhoods (Ministry, Nepenthe)

Nah nah there’s good stuff. The Senator, zen west, clandestino, Swallows, Heritage smokehouse. I get that walking in the middle of the night alone down by like woodbourne might feel a little sketchy but everything from Full Tilt going north is fine. Also the city link red runs along there 24/7 so that’s always an option if you feel uncomfortable walking. Idk just my 2 cents

I'm not getting on a bus to ride two blocks from a brewery. That area definitely feels sketch to me, even going north there's just not much there along the walk and it would feel sketch.

That’s fine - everyone has a different comfort level. I’d def recommend checking out Heritage Smokehouse though.

Nailah’s, Angeli’s and Noir are also great spots right there that fill very different roles in a social/food scene. Not to mention Enoch Pratt right next door on Bellona.

Nailah's is a little pricey for me, but it's definitely good

Not sure if it's still the case but you used to be able to do carryout for 1/2 the price of their sit down restaurant. You just had to go into the carryout entrance next door. It was the same food, same portions, just half the price if you weren't dining in. Made it super reasonable. Lamb shank at $30? Pass. Lamb shank at $15? Hell yeah.

Basically, they fired this young guy from the kitchen and on his way out he was just roasting everyone else who worked there. Then he came back like 10 mins later and was arguing with the management, and then the other kitchen staff was kinda lightly escorting him out when he said something to a bigger dude who turned to him and was like wtf did you say, and then they literally threw hands and it spilled out into the outside area in front but no serious blows were landed. Then the bigger dude came back in and we were all staring like wtf is going on and he was like “he called me an African slave!” And we were like gotcha. Then the little guy came back AGAIN like ten mins later but just needed to use a phone and then left and then came back AGAIN a final Time cuz he left his bag lol. Then Kim bought us drinks. Overall, very strange situation and I was convinced it was gonna escalate into something even worse but instead it was just good entertainment.

Their grilled cheese sandwich was the best around. I’ll miss this place.
