The House of Brews Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    I've been to this location since it was Uncle Bear's and these owner have finally got it right! Service and food have never been better. The beer selection is great and changes regularly which is great to try new microbrews or other non-commercial labels. For sports it is great to have over 16 large screen TVs with all of the Sunday Ticket. The Chef even came to our table to ask how everything was, and it was great to be able to give a compliment to him. The owners are from Boston, but hey no place is perfect. If you want a great beer or food, this is a great place to go.

    I've been here a couple of times, and I don't think it's anything special. The service is hit or miss, the food is just ok, some tvs in the bar area. They do have a pretty good beer selection, with good daily specials.

    Didn't plan on going there today, but a Bratwurst craving drove the car directly to the place. I ordered Mama's Little Brats off the appetizer menu. I wouldn't call this an appetizer for 1 or 2. It had 3 large brats sitting on a bed of the house kraut with onions and peppers. The brats were fantastic, lean with an excellent texture that went well with the spicy mustard. A+. The kraut was an issue for me, it's a house made kraut that didn't have the zing a good German , Jewish or Irish kraut possesses. Very mild. C+ No complaints at all about the service, kept the water glasses full, checked in appropriately to see if we needed anything, very friendly. A+ Let's chat briefly about dessert, I was a bit full for the bread pudding I wanted so I went with the house made Blueberry ice cream. For the price, the portion was great, but the ice cream itself was excellent and chocked full of fresh blueberries. A+. I will return to try a few other items that caught my eye. Henry

    Great choice of craft beers. BBQ pork sandwich was exceptional. Mac and cheese was solid - smokey and creamy.

    Love this place! Went in on a Sunday mid morning to watch some football and have some breakfast. Lots of TVs of course, great selection and variety of beers, many local breweries too, and the staff makes you feel very comfortable there. Turns out, much better food than the standard Sports type bars. Yeah, you can get wings, nachos burgers and stuff like that but their take on making it takes them up a notch over typical sports grille faire. I had simply bacon, eggs, hash browns and toast. Boring right? Well, not exactly, they add a lot of flavor with nice details like chives on the scrambled eggs, peppers and onions in the potatoes etc. Wife had the eggs benedict. They used corned beef instead of ham or Canadian bacon like most do, jalapenos and added some other nice fresh ingredients. Later on during the afternoon games wife and I split a bowl full of steamers, was great. Josh the bartender was attentive, Tim from the kitchen even checked on us and Aaron and other staff (that I didn't catch names) all came around to make sure we were having a good experience. My Browns, lost...again and my fantasy team didn't do well but the was a great day here and a terrific experience. We will be back and would recommend.

    Still love the place and will continue to frequent ! But I must say that on several occasions I have witnessed Tim " the bartender" be beyond rude and flippant to several customers ! It's too bad !

    Pretty cool place...All the staff were friendly. .never seen so many beers..wow...plenty of tv's..had some nachos were pretty good..good tables. .I would definitely come back..

    Chef Tim's menu is knocking it out of the park. Not just bar food, but upscale bar food (without upscale prices), and full entrees as well. The smoked Gouda mac and cheese is to DIE for. Fried Tomato BLT was amazing. Great burgers, great portions - everything we've tried here has been a home run. And the Stout Bread Pudding? Fuggeddaboutit. Lots of TVs to capture all the games, and an extensive beer (draught) list that has something for everyone. We've had a great experience every time, and everyone we've recommended it to or brought along with us has LOVED it. I can't wait to go back! Tomorrow sounds perfect...

    Ok so my first experience with this place was in the summer of 2012 all I could say was fail. It's been almost 2 years and was near and had about two hours to kill..read some positive reviws and said why not I heard they had redone the place and had new owners. Well I am glad I did. Beer selection is great had a few great choices for me and the wife as we are on opposite sides of the beer spectrum. Now the food. ..I would have say very interesting menu. I went for the black and blue burger. Is it good when the juices are running down your arm? Uhhh ya... Cooked to requested temp. Nice. The wife had their Nan bread Flatbread, pretty tasty also. I was not that impressed with the fried pickles.. but no doubt we will be back.

    Way nicer inside than you'd expect. Nice beer selection, comfortable booths, lots of TVs. Typical bar food and some strange table-next-to-booth configurations drops it from 5 to 4 stars.

    So my wife and i like this place at first but it has gone down hill since the first two times we came here. The first two times the food and customer service was great they treated us very nicely and we also have a 16 month old and they were very friendly with him and also went above an beyond to cater to him. Then my wife and I went there a third time and the food was not as good as the first two times but not horrible and the customer service was not as great as it had been. Then we went a fourth time and I got the "special" it was a Gnocchi plate which is my favorite pasta and it came and was a puny helping my wife got a burger and a side of Macaroni and Cheese her side was bigger than my dish which was kind of ridiculous. So we decided to take a hiatus since but felt compelled to go on 3-2-14 because well a beer sounded good and figured we would try again. Well that was the wrong thing to do, so our server was busy at first so someone else helped us and she was great I wish she would have been our server she was playing with our son and talking to him. Then our server took over it seemed like he had not served much we ordered our food and we asked for specific things to not be on our meals and how the meals were to be cooked. So after our order was taken our son was starting to get antsy so we just asked for some crackers to tide him over and our server said sure but i will have to charge you, charge me for crackers???? really crackers???? in our first two outings the servers brought our son puffs and apple sauce out of kindness no charge and this guy is charging for crackers come on man! So after the cracker debaucle we get our food well my wife's burger is over cooked and the fries are blah and my chicken sandwich is not how i asked for it we just ate the food because we did not want to be there any longer. So then we get our bill (yes the crackers were there) and they have a neat thing where they put the bill in a novel not a normal fold, well this book was filled with graffitti now I am not a prude by any means but why are we given a book that has pornographic images and language that would make a sailor blush. I am sorry but what if a kid opened this book up I cannot believe management would allow this if that were seen by the wrong person i am sure one of the local news channels could be called I will not be back 2 stars is for the first two visits if i were to judge on newer vists it would be 1

    I have never cared to dine at a Sports Bar especially with kids but, I definitely would have to say HOB has changed my mind about sports bar dining. We had a lot of fun eating here with the kids and they all loved every bit of their meals. We had deep fried pickles as an appetizer and the batter was amazing. I had the Maine lobster roll with buffalo chips something I have never had before which was very delicious. The Monte Cristo was out of this world. The only other place I have had this dish was at Disneyland and I thought I would have to go back there just to have it again. So you can imagine my astonishment to see this on the menu. We just had to order it! I am a Sports bar food convert but, maybe just for HOB. Much thanks to the great staff!

    We have been there a couple times since they opened. The atmosphere is great. the food is amazing! They have a chicken disk that it delicious. I have also had the prime rib which was huge and melted in my mouth. The last time I went I had the blackened chicken wrap and it was awesome. They have many sides from fruit to an amazing mac and cheese. The restaurant itself is clean and spacious. It's a sports bar/grill so there are nice largeTV's for watching the game there. Our waitress said they were adding more soon and opening a back room for parties. The wait staff are very personable. I believe our waitress's name was Denessa.?.? She was awesome. Our drinks were never empty and she was very pleasant. They have a lot of beers and ciders on tap which is great. Beers are craft types, but they have the normal old american beers too. We will be going back and hanging out and watching games and having dinner here.

    I live near by and visit often. I like the atmosphere. But the service really needs help. There is only one bartender at all times. For that size of place especially during happy hour. I think if they would add a bar back or another bartender this would help immensely. The wait time to get a beer or food is ridiculous.

  • Beth B.

    Have been going here since it opened. Large beer selection for him, daughter rates the Mac and cheese as a 10 1/2 (she uses HOB as the standard) and today I had the most delicious grilled portobello sandwich ever!!

    (5)
  • Kenisa H.

    We came for the lunch special (half sandwich and side for $6). It was delicious!! I ordered the Blacked Chicken Wrap; the aioli and blackened chicken made this an exceptional wrap! The house mac n cheese was amazing as well. I can't wait to come back and try one of the many craft beers on draft! Would recommend this place to anyone at anytime!

  • Brad J.

    I want to start out by saying Josh, the bartender does an excellent job. If you want to be educated on beer selection and walk out of there impressed, ask for Josh. Sliders, nachos, salads, and basically all appetizers are awesome and you must try them all with a paired beer choice. The burgers could all use some touching up and fine tuning, but it depends on who is grilling that night I guess. They take pride in their sports bar and beer selection, and it shows in their service. Live music on the weekends and good service anywhere in the bar make HOB very enjoyable, and they have a dog friendly patio. This is a great spot for lunch, or to take a significant other out for a "sports bar" night.

  • Heidi H.

    Great food! Been here for lunch at least 3 times since it is close to my office. Prime Dip sandwich is tasty, and there is a reasonably-priced lunch special where you can order 1/2 sandwich with soup or salad or side. Servers were always pleasant and attentive. Bill comes inside a book that you can write comments in which is cool, because you can see what others have written too. Not fancy ambiance, but a happy and comfortable place. Love this place. : )

  • Zachary S.

    $6 for edamame...you know the stuff that a Sushi place serves up for free while you wait. For the quality (or lack of) that you get here the prices are definitely out of whack. Plenty of T.Vs, even in the bathroom, makes it a good place to watch the game! The big miss here though was the service, Literally like 20 minutes before anyone came, and when she finally did, acted kind of surly (I think she was trying to be witty, but just came off rude) Staff was all kinds of chummy around the bar, which is nice...but not if I'm still waiting for my beer. Beer list is solid and extensive to be fair...but definitely not what I'd call imaginative. Flanny's in Tempe?...now THATS a place for beer lovers!

    So I'd love to write a great review but I'm elsewhere eating dinner and drinking beers. Why? Because my friend and I (both women) could not justify paying a $5 cover to see a fight that 1. We could careless about. 2. Could see up the street for free 3. Could have parked in the parking lot and watched. So, sorry to say we will be spending our money and tipping well here at Gordon Biersch.

  • Keg M.

    Great beer selection and great new food menu! If you are looking to watch a game it is a great place. Try the Mac n Cheese!

  • Felix H.

    Corned Beef and Cabbage was tasteless and had the odor of bad feet (was this more than day old grub?). Prices are high for the portion size you receive. If I wanted food servings the size that Tapas bars serve I would go to one in Chandler or elsewhere not HOB. Speaking of brews, I like my domestic lagers served ice cold not lukewarm like that of an English pub in Canterbury serving a pint of Bitter. Note to the weary fellow eater: Avoid this place and spend your hard earned money elsewhere. You're better off going to Vincent's on Camelback for an elegant dinner, top notch drinks and cold beer than a 21st century house of horrors, I mean house of warm brews. Letdown of the year for me.

    Went to the old version a few times, and it was not bad.... This NEW incarnation is SOOOOO much better. Great tap list, love that. Great food, love that. AND friendly prompt bar in my neighborhood vibe service. Highly recommended.

  • Brian S.

    Great place, very nice and clean, friendly staff, amazing beer selection. BUT, they are SO slow. If you order a beer, it should be at your table in 2-3 minutes - not 8-10. And, if you run out of something - you should tell the table that immediately. They are consistently slow.... If you're a slow person - then you'll love this place.

  • K E.

    This is pretty cool bar for beer lovers. There's a huge selection of drafts and to help you make a selection there are a couple of big screens showing what's on tap (most of them anyway). The information includes the name of the beer, the brewer, alcohol content and even a little icon that tells you how much is left in the keg. I have only had a couple of meals there but have no complaints about either. The only thing that kept me from giving this place the fifth star is the service form behind the bar. The guys that have served me in the past have acted like they would rather be someplace else. I can't say they were rude, just not friendly.

    The family and I along with a couple friends decided to try this place for a little variety. The experience was less than stellar. If I could give no stars I would. The Bad: Kids both wanted a cream soda (bottled) and when the waitress came back she informed us there was only one bottle left...really? It's soda for crying out loud. I decided to order a Kiltlifter (some special edition) and again....OUT! Now I'm slightly annoyed...Friday night, full house and by the way...also informed the kitchen is about 25 minutes "behind" so if we wanted to order an appetizer it would be best to put it in with our dinner order. Ok, whatever...we decided to order nachos. Nacho's came out STONE COLD, sent them back as they were inedible. The manager then came over (he was very nice, apologetic and again telling us the kitchen was "behind") apologized, offered to "buy us a round" (that didn't happen by the way even though we ordered a couple more rounds in the 2.5 hours we were there) and wanted to make sure we were "happy". Out comes nacho plate number 2, by the manager stating they were "fresh out of the oven". Not so much, again...STONE COLD ON cold plate. Ugh...didn't bother sending them back as it clearly was not going to do any good. So finally out comes dinner...everyone had yes you guessed it...cold food. By this time we just wanted to leave. So along comes the waitress, who is clearly annoyed and drops off the check....nachos included. Now one would think that if the manager came over, offered a round of drinks and apologized profusely about cold food and slow kitchen service that the nachos would have never made it to the bill. Needless to say we just paid and left...and will never return. Robert Irvine would be having a field day in this place! Total bill for a family of 4 for cold food and a couple beers: $78 (that included my barely deserved 15% tip (normally I go 20% all the way...not this time) The Good: 1. Apologetic manager that seemed sincere, but clearly didn't follow through with any amount of customer service. 2. At least the beer was cold. Save your money as there are plenty of other beer/sports bars with much better service and hot food. Can't believe this place had a full house!

    Was driving down the road and noticed this place with a patio full of flat screen televisions. The goal - find a bar with good TVs to watch some Sunday football... Oh boy. What a treat?! Great TVs, high definition and excellent viewing angles. Perfect for your Sunday football fix. If you are into fantasy they have every game on in Hd on gorgeous new flat screens. The waitress was extremely attentive making sure that every low beer was followed by a prompt cold full beer. With the name House of Brews you would assume they would have a range of beers and that assumptions is correct. They have both a diverse selection of draft and bottle beers. Usually bars that have a lot of micro beers have a pretty decent menu and...drum roll please.. Legit. Legit menu. They have Lobster Rolls! Yes! I have been looking for a Lobster Roll in the Phoenix area for 5 years. The price point is good and the lobster roll has a decent amount of lobster meat with the right amount of seasoning and dressing. I know I said decent and generally that's associated with bad but the fact they had the hoagie roll toasted with fresh lobster prepared the right right way does it for me. If we lived by a body of water I would expect more but we don't so I will settle with fresh and tasty. My inner fat kid went on full assault with an order of the clam roll, clam chowder, burger, Mac and cheese and onion rings. Yes, yes and yes. 5 stars. Period. Great crunch, seasoned breading, thick juicy burger, creamy Mac and delicious chowder. I'm not from Boston but it reminds me of every visit when I'm there... I definitely recommend this place.

    I've been to this location since it was Uncle Bear's and these owner have finally got it right! Service and food have never been better. The beer selection is great and changes regularly which is great to try new microbrews or other non-commercial labels. For sports it is great to have over 16 large screen TVs with all of the Sunday Ticket. The Chef even came to our table to ask how everything was, and it was great to be able to give a compliment to him. The owners are from Boston, but hey no place is perfect. If you want a great beer or food, this is a great place to go.

  • Lauren J.

    Really, I would give this place 3.5 stars because there were things about our experience that were 5 stars and then things that we about a 2-3 star. Location for me is great, literally a 2 min drive from my house. We walked in and I kid you not, there were 16 TV's plastered all over this place...a sports lovers heaven! Problem is they only had on 1 game. Service was very friendly and attentive, for me 5 stars. The wait time for food was a bit much (25 minutes for burgers) and the burgers for me weren't that good. I ordered my Avocado Burger to be Medium and it came out very well done. It was dry and I didn't end up eating it all. However, the macaroni and cheese was a slam dunk..5 stars! My boyfriend and I couldn't get enough of it! The burgers came with their branding "HOB" on top, which I thought was a cool touch. Beers were also ice cold and had a variety to choose from...another sports lovers dream! I would return but not order a burger.

  • C P.

    Beers were great. Nachos not so much. I was a big fan of the HOB prior to it closing and reopening. Chris (our waiter) was very friendly, helpful and generally great. However the nachos left alot to be desired. There was both cheese sauce and cheese on them. Super weird. The steak was of much poorer quality than when I used to frequent House of Brews. I am hoping with was a 1 off bad experience. I plan on going back but next time ordering something different.

  • C B.

    $10 burgers?!? Their HH is $1 off beers, Yup! That is it. Get a better HH and maybe we will go back.

  • Tracey K.

    Holy cow...I really wanted to like this place, but the overall experience was bad. The food came out at room temperature/cold. The service took FOREVER! Our server kept telling us it would be out in a few seconds (both drinks and food). A few seconds turned out to be well over 30 minutes. I guess the bar was backed up and the bartender couldn't get to our drinks in a reasonable amount of time (iced tea, vanilla beer in a bottle and the cappuccino stout on tap). There was another booth next to us that hadn't even been greeted by their server...they were completely forgotten! With all the options of bars/restaurants in the area, I doubt we'll be back.

  • Chris S.

    Looks like there are a few people that had a negative experience here but my first experience the other night was a good one. The place has a neighborhood sports bar feel to it but lacks a little bit in terms of identity. There is a collection of Boston area sports memorabilia hanging in one spot but not much in the way of local team stuff. The TV's are plenty and unless you are ultra picky I don't understand how you could not watch what you want to see. The beer list is better than most and I had a coffee stout there that was excellent. I only sampled the Mac and Cheese there which is made with a smoked Gouda and happened to be one of the best I've had and the french dip which was excellent. A few of my buddies tried the steak and burger and were also very happy. The owners were involved and hooked us up with some additional sides after talking to them a bit which was very nice. I thought the prices were just fine but then again many people benchmark against the big chain restaurants which I refuse to support so I lack context there. I will certainly be back.

  • Emily M.

    Visited HOB for lunch this week to check out the new menu,ownership etc.. Love the new ambiance and vibe - the place is definitely on the up & up! Ordered the Spinach salad, it was very tasty, fresh chicken and avocado was delightful. They also have upcoming events and a boatload of big screens to watch ALL the games, not to mention the multitude of craft beers they have on draft... I'll be back for sure!

  • Steve B.

    I really wanted to like this place. My wife and I both had burgers. To quote the old Wendy's commercial; "Where's the beef??" The bun was 3-4 times larger than the burger! It was like they put a slider on a full-size hamburger bun. What a rip-off. Extremely disappointing. Needless to say, we won't be going back.

  • Art R.

    The place is brand new so I will have to come back to see if there are signs of improvement. The menu is very ecclectic, with everything from your standard bar nachos, burgers to mussels and prime rib. Some of the food seemed fairly priced while others seemed a little high, burgers for example were pretty much all over $10 The food was just ok, nothing special but they are new so kind of giving them the benefit of the doubt but for the prices they will need to step it up a notch. The decor is spartan but clean, not sure what the theme is that they are trying to accomplish, layout looks much more like a casual diner than a bar or upscale restaurant. Now my big beef. If you are going to call yourself House of Brews the focus should be on the beer, which it clearly is not. Some local distributors sold them a bill of goods. They have a pretty decent size beer list but the bad thing is they are wasting a number of taps on beers that tastes alike, Victoria, Budweiser and Coors Light, Stella Artrois and Redhook? Come on now, you only need one bland beer, and 2 ciders? Really., Give the people of Gibert some credit. Only one SanTan beer on but 4 Four Peaks beers, that's not fair. All the other beers were also just very pedestrian. It wouldn't take much like having 1 beer knowledgeable person on staff to revamp that list and make the beer stand out instead of just becoming known for a place that buys the cheapest beer from the distributors that they can. When I go back instead of ordering an everyday meaningless beer I'll take a water or a coke unless they change it up. I'm sure people in Gilbert want to have a place to go for beer that is on par with places in nearby Chandler, Tempe and Scottsdale. So far this isn't it.

  • Joyce S.

    Gotta try this place. New owners for 6 weeks, dozens of micros on tap, and the food is great and plentiful. I had Fish and Chips which were great, four pieces of beer battered cod and a huge pile of crispy, crunchy wedge fries, along with slaw and house made tartar sauce. The hubby had corned beef and cabbage: shredded corned beef with a huge pile of cabbage, veggies and a side. We couldn't even consider dessert and brought home leftovers for two more meal. Very reasonably priced. Nice folks, great food, tons of TVs and a huge selection of beers. What could be better? To Lauren J- they were very accommodating about changing channels on any TV that you found convenient. Please go, we'd like to see this place stick around!

  • Rob E.

    I really like this place. They always have a good selection of craft brews. I love there boneless chicken wings, specifically the teriyaki. Pretzel board is good except for the cheese, it tastes like meat.... Kind of like a bunch of lil' smokies were cooked in it. ruins the cheese if you'd ask me. I do come here often. The music is good and there are a lot of tv's. Don't get the ribs tips... Or a side of veggies.... But like I said I do like this place and plan on coming back

  • Jack K.

    I've come here several times for decent beer selection. Tonight though, there was the smell of sewer that is overwhelming throughout the entire restaurant. We got one beer and decided to relocate somewhere else. Just a heads up on that stench.

  • Treena B.

    Food was average at best. $11 for a Mac n cheese and $13 for a steak sandwich. Service and kitchen were mixed up on several tables. Food was half delivered. Never saw a manager. Heard many apologies but no one was offered anything. Not impressed at all

    Got a recommendation of what to order, but the food came out cold 2x .... Then server forgot my beer order ... cool looking spot, good menu, but didn't execute on meal or food quality

    The love and I came here for dinner one evening. It's basically down the street from my house. Score! I wish I would've written this review earlier so I can remember all the little details. I think they're known for their mac and cheese because they have 6 different mac and cheese dishes but I ended up ordering the fish sandwich since I couldn't eat meat this day. The beer battered fish that came in the sandwich was huge! It was bigger than the actual sandwich! It was quite tasty. I also got a side of the mac and cheese (without meat of course) which was reallyyyyy good. The only downfall was the sandwich was soooo messy! Everything came apart. When I told the waiter he said it's better to order the fish and chips. It's basically the same exact thing and less messy. & you can order bread with it if you really wanted to. They had live music when we came and it was extremely loud so we ended up sitting on their patio. The waiter was great and was very attentive. He always made sure we had everything we needed. They also have different specials each day of the week too. I'll definitely be back to try their other mac and cheese dishes!!

    Looks like a great place for drinking beer. I ordered take out. Got the BBQ Meal. It was 18 bucks and huge. Meat was over smoked to my taste. The hot links were hotter than the devil, too hot to eat. I throw them out, would even give to my dog. I was disappointed not to see baby back ribs on the menu. Slaw tasted like the just put a little vinegar and sugar on them and very little at that. I give it 3 star for the beer selection and the staff. If you want to drink beer great place. If you want a good BBQ go most any place else.

  • Krysti R.

    This place is disgusting. The food is bland. No flavor at all. I should have kept driving and gone to McDonald's. Also, The amount of bugs flying around is unacceptable. It makes me wonder what it is like in the kitchen. I spent my meal fighting off flies and other flying bugs (not sure what they were... Baby flies? Maggots with wings? Who knows?) Overall disgusting experience and just waiting on the food poisoning to kick in.... I'm certain it is coming... Only good thing is there are good beers...

  • Brian M.

    I went back today, I had the roast beef sandwich and sweet potato fries. The sandwich was tasty but with the au jus a little salty. The fries were good. I had two tasty session IPAs and an iced tea. My friend had the BLT and soup of the day. He really liked the soup and the blt was good. The server was friendly but a little on the inattentive side. When I got the bill for my sandwich, iced and two beers I was shocked to see it was $30. One beer was $6 and one was $7. These weren't high gravity beers, they were session IPAs. I am bordering on a two star review for the unexpected price gouging. Oh and beware, substituting Mac N' Cheese with a sandwich is a $4 upgrade. Heck, a full side of mac is only $5. It is too bad, I like the place, but for these prices I could eat in Scottsdale not a strip mall in Gilbert.

  • Ryan D.

    Been to house a few times and have eaten there twice. I wish I could get separate stars for just the food and beer because it would be a solid 4 stars. Good burgers and wings and the beer selection is amazing. The only downside I would have to say is the patrons, they seem to have a lot of regulars at this place and kinda sketchy characters. Place looks like a strip club from the outside as well. The staff is always friendly and attentive.

    Hadn't been in a while and went to dinner last night at HOB. There have been some significant changes. Overall, food was good and beer selection was great. However, menu is different and prices have increased ($11 for a Ruben plus upcharge for onion rings? Ouch!) I had fish and chips - it was good, but the pieces of fish were two very small pieces. I wish I had tried something else ESP at that price point ($12 for fish and chips). Check out the new menu and you decide. :) Personally, Not sure I'll be back again for dinner, but would be ok going for a beer. Good service, but it wasn't crowded.

    Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Service was poor but the food was good. We were greeted quickly and shown to our booth. Our server came over with a beer list that looks like it had been caught in the middle of a food fight. The list had a lot of beers crossed off and then she spouted off more beers they didn't have. I wasn't impressed. We both ordered a chicken sandwich which was very tasty but when I asked for a side of ranch, I waited and waited and waited. Finally, someone else brought it to me. Our server seemed more interested in chit chatting than actually serving us. You can't rely on your good looks forever honey, eventually you'll have to do your job correctly.

    We have been going to HOB for about a year and it quickly became our family's go to restaurant. With the recent menu change/price increase we are disappointed. My favorite salad is now $12 with no chicken? Buffalo chips, hummus, lettuce wraps, bacon cheeseburger, edamame, prime rib flatbread (THE BEST!), prime rib sliders, (among other favorites) are no longer available?!? $2 extra to change from unhealthy fries to a side salad? It's lettuce people... And not much on the menu under $10, not even the daily specials. HOB was a local bar with affordable food and great beer selection that we frequented at least once a week. Wish they would have kept it that way. Have to say we were disappointed to say the least.

    Awesome baked mac n cheese. Don't go on trivia night unless you like loud. And I mean *really* loud. We have been quite a few times and the service is always great, the food is always good, and the beer is always cold. No complaints - just not the extra pizazz that warrants a 5th star. Definitely worth checking out!

    Good food, good beer, good service! Good location, and I like the fact that you can sit outside on the patio with your fury little friend. They have a nice selection of beers on tap, even if they are out of one you wanted, there is more to choose from. I highly recommend this place.

    Portions are very nice. Food is pretty good. I have had the club and the wings. Both are great. The Mac and cheese always looks great but I haven't ordered it yet. I work close by and smell the smoker running all the time. Very hard not to get hungry by the smell alone.

  • Cindy S.

    Still strictly average. Sigh. I so wanted them to rebound. But just ordered their flagship Mac and cheese with bacon and hamburger. Found it overly greasy from the meats not being drained properly. On the plus side they had an excellent cherry cider on tap! Miss the old menu variety.

  • Tim F.

    Service was perfect, nice and quick! Food was yummy . I got the blue burger and mac and cheese cooked perfect. Wifey got the chili she like it. Selection of beer is plentiful! Thank you house of brews for becoming awesome! I'll come back for sure.

    Went for trivia and to have some beers. Was pretty cool place. Would give four stars but our server brought us the wrong beers, when we asked about it she admitted they were wrong but still charged us for the more expensive beer price instead of what we actually got. I'd go back though not a big deal.

  • Michael M.

    Kind of dive/sports bar with a solid selection of craft beer. Service was good, but the food menu & quality left a lot to be desired. The good selection of beers comes at a price here, many in the $7 + category. I'd recommend it if you want to watch a game, aren't hungry and don't mind paying a bit of a premium for good beer.

  • Bill B.

    They raised the beer prices and made this bar just average now. Before you could go drink beer listen to decent music and watch sports at an afordable price. If it stays this way I will go to Stadium Club or Rto's beter bargain all the way around

    I wish I could give 2 1/2 stars. Been going to HOB for little over a year now on a weekly basis. In November this review would have been 4-5 stars, but the recent changes made us to start looking for another bar home. The Good: - Beer selection is awesome and only a couple of times have they been out of the beer I wanted. Good mix of local and destination craft brews. - The manager is awesome. He makes the rounds every time we are there and tries to fix any problem with service or food to make it right. - They are VERY kid friendly for being a beer bar. Many of the staff have young kids and pay extra attention to the kids and parents to keep the kids happy. The Bad: - It sucks that the manager has had to 'rectify the situation' multiple times in the last couple months. Not sure if the wait staff is new or if the kitchen staff is not good, but definite change in experience lately. - The menu change is HORRIBLE. Mac n Cheese and burgers are still good, but not for $12-16. I'm sure it was to decrease number of items to keep in stock, but the best things on menu were the easiest to make. Prime Rib flatbread, nachos, quesadilla, etc, but were taken off. The menu was what made this our favorite bar spot, and now it seems overpriced for the quality and selection.

    This place CONTINUES to adapt. It's so nice to come in and be constantly surprised. It doesn't always work, but man... their new bbq is phenomenal and Germann is a wonderful new addition too. So to all of you that may not have been impressed the first time, yall gotta come on back to give it another shot!

    This place was sooo good at one time...then they went and changed their menu. With the new management, changed menu and HORRIBLE service this place is no longer worth the drive. We live a half a mile away, just to give you an idea...

    Apparently there's something wrong with the ventilation system in the kitchen... that, or something's on fire... Either way, smoke in the dining room is never good. Our server was awesome and the manager was on the floor checking on everyone, which was cool. The room to the south of the main area has comfy couches. Great place to watch FB!!! Now if I can just stop my eyes from burning... 4 stars for service, # of TVs, sound system and couches :)

    After a few visits to HOB, my experiences can be summarized: great craft selection, decent food, decent service and reasonable prices. Until my most recent visit, there have been only a few occasions that I have requested to try a new beer and it was out. However, when I invited several of my friends to dinner on a Saturday night the experience was much different. Many of the selections were tapped out and it was difficult for the waitress to know which ones would be available. During busy times, the wait for beer can seem a bit long. But, the waiters were great about letting us know if there was a big group in the back. Also, because the beer would fluctuate on availability, this would cause a lot of back and forth visits to tables. All around the waiters and bartenders have been very kind and patient. Food is pretty good. I will have to agree with other reviews: it seems impossible to get your burgers cooked as requested. A friend and I ordered medium well and the meat was cooked to a crisp. BUT! The baked mac and cheese--- oh my gosh!!! So good!!!!! I would forgo any of the burgers just to have the baked mac and cheese. Price is reasonable for the food and beer selection-- provided you get your correct order and they have available beers. Okay I admit it. . . . I am just disappointed that the one time I want to show this place off to my friends they really let me down with the selection :( If it weren't for this thorn in my side- I would give 5 stars!

    This place was incredible!!! Reasonably priced and fast service! I got the Mac and cheese and my fiancé got the fried tomato BLT. Both exceeded expectations. We also shared the fried pickle appetizer with friends which were fried to perfection and served with a unique house cumber sauce. Our friends got fried cookie dough rolls which were a fantastic finish to the meal. Add to it a wide selection flog brews both local and national and you have a fantastic meal! We read about the Sunday breakfast and a free Bloody Mary with each breakfast entree we will definetly be back to try something else on the menu!

    Best ribs/rib tips I've had! I'm from LA and it would be worth it to come back just for either of them. We tried them at the Great American BBQ and Brewery. We waited in line for 45 minutes to try a "Kansas City Award Winning" competitor (following the crowed) and these are WAY better!!

    We love House of Brews and still do for drinks. The new menu seems a little odd for a brew pub. Gone are the brats, basic cheeseburger and French dip. They have been replaced by chicken liver mousse, a yellow fin burger and chorizo mussels. At least the Mac and cheese is still on the menu, even if it's no longer build your own.

    Loved this place! Sat out of the patio today for lunch to watch some of the opening day Red Sox game. Food is amazing. Ordered the Ipswich fried clams which were relish and straight out of a Cape Cod menu. Husband had the Italian, which was enormous and enough to bring home half for dinner. Beer selection - more than worthy. I had the Lobster Roll lunch special and was everything I expected it to be. Thanks for the Cracker Jacks Tim! This place is great, be back very soon

  • George C.

    Visited for 1st time on Saturday for lunch. They advertise 49 beers on tap. The 1st beer I requested was not available. I ended up with a Desert Eagle Dunkelweizen which was excellent. Tried the Pretzel Board as an appetizer. It came with 3 soft pretzels, a cheese sauce and a brown mustard. I thought it was good. I tried their Mac N Cheese "The Original Mac". I think everybody has different ideas of what makes a good mac n cheese so I'd say you need to try it and judge for yourself. The waitress and server were excellent. I will definately come back.

    I've been to hob twice. Once a couple months ago months ago we went with a huge party and my order never came out after a hour I had to go to work. Well I was walking out the door and my food came out. I told them to keep it. I just left hob a hour ago decided on giving it another try. It was busy. Service was slow but it shouldn't take 40 minutes to put in our order and another 30 minutes for wings and nachos to come out. The nachos were dry like hey been sitting under the heater and the wing were cold on the outside and warm in the middle. Our server never came back to see us or how our food was. If you like sitting around waiting for cold food this is your place.

    As bars go, this is certainly my favorite. I have been five times before deciding to write a review. The food is great, for bar food fare obviously. I have had several sandwiches, all were tasty. The macaroni and cheese they brag about is also great. I am not a big fan of ordering burgers but my friends have enjoyed them. The beer list is extensive and excellent! Just as important the servers I have had have been very knowledgeable and helpful with the items. Speaking of servers, the service here has always been great. The last plus is the establishments willingness to give a fan of hockey a tv. Yup, as one of the few obsessive fans of hockey in the valley I really appreciate an establishment that has the tvs to spare indulging me. Overall, I have not found a better bar establishment in the valley and you can expect to see me return.

    We have been wanting to try this place for awhile. First we asked for a beer menu and they told us we had to check the website for it. We ordered our food and the kids food came out but not ours. Our kid's were done eating when ours finally arrived. My salad was wilted, no dressing and they forgot the grilled chicken. I told the waitress and she brought out the chicken and dressing. Chicken was tasteless and the dressing tasted like old olive oil. My husband's last chicken wings was raw when he bit into it. They took the salad off the bill. Then waitress was nice and apologetic but the kitchen needs help. We were beyond unimpressed with the food. It took to long for raw, tasteless food and over priced food. If we ever go back it will be just for the beer.

    New menu is a BUST. Pricey and tasteless. Non-happy hour appetizer prices are very high. $6 for edamame (only $1 off on HH), $12 shrimp cocktail (not avail on HH but what is this place trying to be??), fried shrimp $11, $9 wings. Wow. Regular menu items are also over-priced. $10 for Mac and cheese w/no toppings? Got a bottle beer special - it was luke-warm. Mentioned to the bartender and he acknowledged it and said he'd already put ice on the others but didn't offer to get me a cold one, etc. (Sun 7:30pm 9/22). Nice they have TVs in men's room but glass over TV has graffiti scratched in it and other one has a big burn mark. Also, one of the paper towel dispensers is out of towels (Sun night 9/22) :( They have a total of ZERO TVs that you can see if you're facing south in the restaurant/bar. Tons of room for them! Guy next to me paid $14 for Corned Beef and Cabbage and said it was just OK. Place needs to do something different on Sundays. Literally 10 people in entire place on Sunday night for Bears/Steelers game. Only 5 of the 7 TVs on patio are working (9/22)

    I almost bought a house down the street from House Of Brews just so I could go there more often! NO KIDDING! The meat and cheese boards are INSANE, the CRAFT BEER selection both in bottles and ON TAP is always out of this world and your ALL favorite sports are always on 35ish Big Ass flat screens TVs. YES, HEAVEN!

  • Dustin W.

    Wife and I decided to try a new place. Lately we've been hitting up some breweries, and this one is reasonably close to home, so we thought why not. The good: Beer list was extensive and served cold. Mac & Cheese was alright. Waitress was nice. Wife thought the burger was OK. Lots of TVs you could easily see to watch several things at once. The bad: The first beer we ordered was not available (San Tan Epicenter). The Mac & Cheese was only good if you ate the warmer part on the inside, because the outside was cold and hard as if it had been sitting for quite a while. Took a long time to initially get a waiter to our table and was very slow to return each time. The bread that came out with the Mac & Cheese was literally burnt black. The waitress offered to bring out non-burnt bread but never actually brought any out. We were never asked how our meals were. As a place to dine, I would not return here and recommend anyone else against considering eating here. I would however consider returning here if I wanted to drink beers and watch a game, which may yield a different experience.

  • Jennifer B.

    I have been here twice with my husband and two small kids. This is a sports bar type place and I usually don't like to take my kids into bars. Luckily for me they are a very friendly bunch and also have kids menus and crayons. We came in here to watch a specific game and the manager was wonderful and accommodating. The waitress was great and on point the entire time. The food was great. I had the Reuben and my husband had the Mac and cheese. They have a huge selection of specialty beer. Which makes sense because of their name. Overall the place has a good feel and We will go back again.

    I don't usually create reviews, but... Had lunch here for the first time and it was terrible. Asked for the burger to be cooked medium and received a well done burger. Tastes like rubber. Received our appetizer within 20 mins and the meal within 2 mins after the appetizer. Had to send back the appetizer. The waiter mixed up our meal with the other tables meal. I overheard her send back the sandwich we ordered. This place is not busy and there is no excuse for it. I am disappointed and will not return. I'm sure their doors will close if they don't change their business.

  • Tiffanie P.

    Terrible. My "medium rare" burger was charred & tasted like it was cooked on a very dirty grill. The ruben did not have any sauce, and it should have something. The service was horrible. We had to flag down 2 other waiters because we couldn't find ours. To top it off, all 6 of us felt really bad the evening following our meal. I wouldn't eat here again. Their beer list is good, but there are enough beer bars in the area with good food that this one should be avoided. And it was HOT inside. Another couple even walked in and mentioned the heat and walked out. Just bad all the way around.

    Outstanding new GM, Patrick is doing an awesome job! Same friendly staff but it's very evident lots of service training has done. Everyone seems to work as a team and there's minimal wait time for food. New Executive chef is GREAT!! Lots of new daily specials. Food is even better than a few months ago. Hats off to the owners for encouraging lots of smiles and changing things up. Favorite place in East Valley!!

    After writing bad reviews about the service here, I tried it again recently and it was much better. Not sure if I caught them on a good night or what but much improvement from other visits. (Figured I owed them a better review after the last visit.) Always good food but still over priced.

  • Robb B.

    The only reason we gave one star is because Yelp does not allow zero. When we first walked in, the hostess was very rude because we were meeting people who were already seated in the bar area, and she wanted us to wait to be seated even after we explained that they had already saved our seats. Later on a few others wanted to join us, but when we attempted to push 2 empty tables together she came over to reprimand us for how the tables were arranged. Then, to add insult to injury, the chef came out of the kitchen area and told us to move the tables back because, and I quote, "You don't want to piss off the chef". The place wasn't even busy! I ordered the meat pie which was ice-cold in the middle, and for obvious reasons I did not trust sending it back to be reheated, well, because, "the chef does not want to be pissed off!" The server never asked how the food was nor did he notice that I wasn't eating, so I made a point to let him know that the pie was cold. He took it back and the aforementioned chef allegedly took the temperature and said that I should have eaten it because it was at the proper temp. This is impossible, since it was cold to begin with and had been sitting for an additional 20 minutes. Also worth mentioning: the men's room was filthy, giving me reason to believe the kitchen may also be filthy! Needless to say, we will never be back.

    I had driven past HOB several times and finally decided to give it a shot. I was amazed at how busy it was since it's in a shopping center that doesn't really have anything else going for it. I was impressed with how many good craft beers they had on their list, they even had hop slam which was hard to come by. You could tell the waitress had a huge workload but still provided good service and my glass was never empty. Tim, one of the managers, made his way by every table asking how the service was and if there was anything they could do better. They have a very diverse selection of food and the blackened chicken wrap I ordered did not disappoint. Ever since Boombozz switched to american tap house I have been looking for a new place. House of Brews is definitely it!

    The place is brand new so I will have to come back to see if there are signs of improvement. The menu is very ecclectic, with everything from your standard bar nachos, burgers to mussels and prime rib. Some of the food seemed fairly priced while others seemed a little high, burgers for example were pretty much all over $10 The food was just ok, nothing special but they are new so kind of giving them the benefit of the doubt but for the prices they will need to step it up a notch. The decor is spartan but clean, not sure what the theme is that they are trying to accomplish, layout looks much more like a casual diner than a bar or upscale restaurant. Now my big beef. If you are going to call yourself House of Brews the focus should be on the beer, which it clearly is not. Some local distributors sold them a bill of goods. They have a pretty decent size beer list but the bad thing is they are wasting a number of taps on beers that tastes alike, Victoria, Budweiser and Coors Light, Stella Artrois and Redhook? Come on now, you only need one bland beer, and 2 ciders? Really., Give the people of Gibert some credit. Only one SanTan beer on but 4 Four Peaks beers, that's not fair. All the other beers were also just very pedestrian. It wouldn't take much like having 1 beer knowledgeable person on staff to revamp that list and make the beer stand out instead of just becoming known for a place that buys the cheapest beer from the distributors that they can. When I go back instead of ordering an everyday meaningless beer I'll take a water or a coke unless they change it up. I'm sure people in Gilbert want to have a place to go for beer that is on par with places in nearby Chandler, Tempe and Scottsdale. So far this isn't it.

    Gotta try this place. New owners for 6 weeks, dozens of micros on tap, and the food is great and plentiful. I had Fish and Chips which were great, four pieces of beer battered cod and a huge pile of crispy, crunchy wedge fries, along with slaw and house made tartar sauce. The hubby had corned beef and cabbage: shredded corned beef with a huge pile of cabbage, veggies and a side. We couldn't even consider dessert and brought home leftovers for two more meal. Very reasonably priced. Nice folks, great food, tons of TVs and a huge selection of beers. What could be better? To Lauren J- they were very accommodating about changing channels on any TV that you found convenient. Please go, we'd like to see this place stick around!

    Went for trivia and to have some beers. Was pretty cool place.

I'd go back though not a big deal.

    The love and I came here for dinner one evening. It's basically down the street from my house. Score! I wish I would've written this review earlier so I can remember all the little details. I think they're known for their mac and cheese because they have 6 different mac and cheese dishes but I ended up ordering the fish sandwich since I couldn't eat meat this day. The beer battered fish that came in the sandwich was huge! It was bigger than the actual sandwich! It was quite tasty. I also got a side of the mac and cheese (without meat of course) which was reallyyyyy good. The only downfall was the sandwich was soooo messy! Everything came apart. When I told the waiter he said it's better to order the fish and chips. It's basically the same exact thing and less messy. & you can order bread with it if you really wanted to. They had live music when we came and it was extremely loud so we ended up sitting on their patio. The waiter was great and was very attentive. He always made sure we had everything we needed. They also have different specials each day of the week too. I'll definitely be back to try their other mac and cheese dishes!!

    WARNING!!!! If you come here and get the waitress with the do-rag, resting bitch face and the nicotine patch.......MOVE SECTIONS IMMEDIATELY. REQUEST IMMEDIATE TRANSFER OF SECTION, get your own drinks or go to the kitchen to deliver your own food. We sat in amazement with this girl. It became funny during our stay, because she just kept getting worse. We had to literally WAVE our hands in the air to get attention EVERY TIME. We stopped the underage bus boy 90% or the time and ordered drinks through him, then she would bring them. We asked for the bill........she brought us another round of drinks. Here's something crazy, just a suggestion, I'm no bar owner or anything. When the bill comes, could you put my food AND drinks on the same bill? We had 2 bills. 1 for food, 1 for drinks. Sadly, we got the bill and SAW only the drinks were on there, we were like....awwwww she realizes she's terrible...............and as we stood up, she brought our food bill. Not a thank you, thanks for coming in, have a good night.....nothing. I'm guessing the nicotine patch was empty.

    Looks like a great place for drinking beer. I ordered take out. Got the BBQ Meal. It was 18 bucks and huge. Meat was over smoked to my taste. The hot links were hotter than the devil, too hot to eat. I throw them out, would even give to my dog. I was disappointed not to see baby back ribs on the menu. Slaw tasted like the just put a little vinegar and sugar on them and very little at that. I give it 3 star for the beer selection and the staff. If you want to drink beer great place. If you want a good BBQ go most any place else.

    This place is disgusting. The food is bland. No flavor at all. I should have kept driving and gone to McDonald's. Also, The amount of bugs flying around is unacceptable. It makes me wonder what it is like in the kitchen. I spent my meal fighting off flies and other flying bugs (not sure what they were... Baby flies? Maggots with wings? Who knows?) Overall disgusting experience and just waiting on the food poisoning to kick in.... I'm certain it is coming... Only good thing is there are good beers...

    I went back today, I had the roast beef sandwich and sweet potato fries. The sandwich was tasty but with the au jus a little salty. The fries were good. I had two tasty session IPAs and an iced tea. My friend had the BLT and soup of the day. He really liked the soup and the blt was good. The server was friendly but a little on the inattentive side. When I got the bill for my sandwich, iced and two beers I was shocked to see it was $30. One beer was $6 and one was $7. These weren't high gravity beers, they were session IPAs. I am bordering on a two star review for the unexpected price gouging. Oh and beware, substituting Mac N' Cheese with a sandwich is a $4 upgrade. Heck, a full side of mac is only $5. It is too bad, I like the place, but for these prices I could eat in Scottsdale not a strip mall in Gilbert.

    I've come here several times for decent beer selection. Tonight though, there was the smell of sewer that is overwhelming throughout the entire restaurant. We got one beer and decided to relocate somewhere else. Just a heads up on that stench.

  • Treena B.

    Food was average at best. $11 for a Mac n cheese and $13 for a steak sandwich. Service and kitchen were mixed up on several tables. Food was half delivered. Never saw a manager. Heard many apologies but no one was offered anything. Not impressed at all

    Hadn't been in a while and went to dinner last night at HOB. There have been some significant changes. Overall, food was good and beer selection was great. However, menu is different and prices have increased ($11 for a Ruben plus upcharge for onion rings? Ouch!) I had fish and chips - it was good, but the pieces of fish were two very small pieces. I wish I had tried something else ESP at that price point ($12 for fish and chips). Check out the new menu and you decide. :) Personally, Not sure I'll be back again for dinner, but would be ok going for a beer. Good service, but it wasn't crowded.

  • Tonya M.

    Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Service was poor but the food was good. We were greeted quickly and shown to our booth. Our server came over with a beer list that looks like it had been caught in the middle of a food fight. The list had a lot of beers crossed off and then she spouted off more beers they didn't have. I wasn't impressed. We both ordered a chicken sandwich which was very tasty but when I asked for a side of ranch, I waited and waited and waited. Finally, someone else brought it to me. Our server seemed more interested in chit chatting than actually serving us. You can't rely on your good looks forever honey, eventually you'll have to do your job correctly.

    Been to house a few times and have eaten there twice. I wish I could get separate stars for just the food and beer because it would be a solid 4 stars. Good burgers and wings and the beer selection is amazing. The only downside I would have to say is the patrons, they seem to have a lot of regulars at this place and kinda sketchy characters. Place looks like a strip club from the outside as well. The staff is always friendly and attentive.

  • Rob E.

    I really like this place. They always have a good selection of craft brews. I love there boneless chicken wings, specifically the teriyaki. Pretzel board is good except for the cheese, it tastes like meat.... Kind of like a bunch of lil' smokies were cooked in it. ruins the cheese if you'd ask me. I do come here often. The music is good and there are a lot of tv's. Don't get the ribs tips... Or a side of veggies.... But like I said I do like this place and plan on coming back

  • Dennis-Stacy L.

    We have been going to HOB for about a year and it quickly became our family's go to restaurant. With the recent menu change/price increase we are disappointed. My favorite salad is now $12 with no chicken? Buffalo chips, hummus, lettuce wraps, bacon cheeseburger, edamame, prime rib flatbread (THE BEST!), prime rib sliders, (among other favorites) are no longer available?!? $2 extra to change from unhealthy fries to a side salad? It's lettuce people... And not much on the menu under $10, not even the daily specials. HOB was a local bar with affordable food and great beer selection that we frequented at least once a week. Wish they would have kept it that way. Have to say we were disappointed to say the least.

  • Amanda S.

    Awesome baked mac n cheese. Don't go on trivia night unless you like loud. And I mean *really* loud. We have been quite a few times and the service is always great, the food is always good, and the beer is always cold. No complaints - just not the extra pizazz that warrants a 5th star. Definitely worth checking out!

  • Chris P.

    Portions are very nice. Food is pretty good. I have had the club and the wings. Both are great. The Mac and cheese always looks great but I haven't ordered it yet. I work close by and smell the smoker running all the time. Very hard not to get hungry by the smell alone.

  • Cindy S.

    Still strictly average. Sigh. I so wanted them to rebound. But just ordered their flagship Mac and cheese with bacon and hamburger. Found it overly greasy from the meats not being drained properly. On the plus side they had an excellent cherry cider on tap! Miss the old menu variety.

  • Dan F.

    Went for trivia and to have some beers. Was pretty cool place. Would give four stars but our server brought us the wrong beers, when we asked about it she admitted they were wrong but still charged us for the more expensive beer price instead of what we actually got. I'd go back though not a big deal.

    Kind of dive/sports bar with a solid selection of craft beer. Service was good, but the food menu & quality left a lot to be desired. The good selection of beers comes at a price here, many in the $7 + category. I'd recommend it if you want to watch a game, aren't hungry and don't mind paying a bit of a premium for good beer.

    (3)
  • Bill B.

    They raised the beer prices and made this bar just average now. Before you could go drink beer listen to decent music and watch sports at an afordable price. If it stays this way I will go to Stadium Club or Rto's beter bargain all the way around

  • David T.

    I wish I could give 2 1/2 stars. Been going to HOB for little over a year now on a weekly basis. In November this review would have been 4-5 stars, but the recent changes made us to start looking for another bar home. The Good: - Beer selection is awesome and only a couple of times have they been out of the beer I wanted. Good mix of local and destination craft brews. - The manager is awesome. He makes the rounds every time we are there and tries to fix any problem with service or food to make it right. - They are VERY kid friendly for being a beer bar. Many of the staff have young kids and pay extra attention to the kids and parents to keep the kids happy. The Bad: - It sucks that the manager has had to 'rectify the situation' multiple times in the last couple months. Not sure if the wait staff is new or if the kitchen staff is not good, but definite change in experience lately. - The menu change is HORRIBLE. Mac n Cheese and burgers are still good, but not for $12-16. I'm sure it was to decrease number of items to keep in stock, but the best things on menu were the easiest to make. Prime Rib flatbread, nachos, quesadilla, etc, but were taken off. The menu was what made this our favorite bar spot, and now it seems overpriced for the quality and selection.

    This place was sooo good at one time...then they went and changed their menu. With the new management, changed menu and HORRIBLE service this place is no longer worth the drive. We live a half a mile away, just to give you an idea...

    Apparently there's something wrong with the ventilation system in the kitchen... that, or something's on fire... Either way, smoke in the dining room is never good. Our server was awesome and the manager was on the floor checking on everyone, which was cool. The room to the south of the main area has comfy couches. Great place to watch FB!!! Now if I can just stop my eyes from burning... 4 stars for service, # of TVs, sound system and couches :)

  • Britt P.

    After a few visits to HOB, my experiences can be summarized: great craft selection, decent food, decent service and reasonable prices. Until my most recent visit, there have been only a few occasions that I have requested to try a new beer and it was out. However, when I invited several of my friends to dinner on a Saturday night the experience was much different. Many of the selections were tapped out and it was difficult for the waitress to know which ones would be available. During busy times, the wait for beer can seem a bit long. But, the waiters were great about letting us know if there was a big group in the back. Also, because the beer would fluctuate on availability, this would cause a lot of back and forth visits to tables. All around the waiters and bartenders have been very kind and patient. Food is pretty good. I will have to agree with other reviews: it seems impossible to get your burgers cooked as requested. A friend and I ordered medium well and the meat was cooked to a crisp. BUT! The baked mac and cheese--- oh my gosh!!! So good!!!!! I would forgo any of the burgers just to have the baked mac and cheese. Price is reasonable for the food and beer selection-- provided you get your correct order and they have available beers. Okay I admit it. . . . I am just disappointed that the one time I want to show this place off to my friends they really let me down with the selection :( If it weren't for this thorn in my side- I would give 5 stars!

    This place was incredible!!! Reasonably priced and fast service! I got the Mac and cheese and my fiancé got the fried tomato BLT. Both exceeded expectations. We also shared the fried pickle appetizer with friends which were fried to perfection and served with a unique house cumber sauce. Our friends got fried cookie dough rolls which were a fantastic finish to the meal. Add to it a wide selection flog brews both local and national and you have a fantastic meal! We read about the Sunday breakfast and a free Bloody Mary with each breakfast entree we will definetly be back to try something else on the menu!

    Best ribs/rib tips I've had! I'm from LA and it would be worth it to come back just for either of them. We tried them at the Great American BBQ and Brewery. We waited in line for 45 minutes to try a "Kansas City Award Winning" competitor (following the crowed) and these are WAY better!!

  • Angela E.

    We love House of Brews and still do for drinks. The new menu seems a little odd for a brew pub. Gone are the brats, basic cheeseburger and French dip. They have been replaced by chicken liver mousse, a yellow fin burger and chorizo mussels. At least the Mac and cheese is still on the menu, even if it's no longer build your own.

    Loved this place! Sat out of the patio today for lunch to watch some of the opening day Red Sox game. Food is amazing. Ordered the Ipswich fried clams which were relish and straight out of a Cape Cod menu. Husband had the Italian, which was enormous and enough to bring home half for dinner. Beer selection - more than worthy. I had the Lobster Roll lunch special and was everything I expected it to be. Thanks for the Cracker Jacks Tim! This place is great, be back very soon

  • George C.

    Visited for 1st time on Saturday for lunch. They advertise 49 beers on tap. The 1st beer I requested was not available. I ended up with a Desert Eagle Dunkelweizen which was excellent. Tried the Pretzel Board as an appetizer. It came with 3 soft pretzels, a cheese sauce and a brown mustard. I thought it was good. I tried their Mac N Cheese "The Original Mac". I think everybody has different ideas of what makes a good mac n cheese so I'd say you need to try it and judge for yourself. The waitress and server were excellent. I will definately come back.

    I've been to hob twice. Once a couple months ago months ago we went with a huge party and my order never came out after a hour I had to go to work. Well I was walking out the door and my food came out. I told them to keep it. I just left hob a hour ago decided on giving it another try. It was busy. Service was slow but it shouldn't take 40 minutes to put in our order and another 30 minutes for wings and nachos to come out. The nachos were dry like hey been sitting under the heater and the wing were cold on the outside and warm in the middle. Our server never came back to see us or how our food was. If you like sitting around waiting for cold food this is your place.

    As bars go, this is certainly my favorite. I have been five times before deciding to write a review. The food is great, for bar food fare obviously. I have had several sandwiches, all were tasty. The macaroni and cheese they brag about is also great. I am not a big fan of ordering burgers but my friends have enjoyed them. The beer list is extensive and excellent! Just as important the servers I have had have been very knowledgeable and helpful with the items. Speaking of servers, the service here has always been great. The last plus is the establishments willingness to give a fan of hockey a tv. Yup, as one of the few obsessive fans of hockey in the valley I really appreciate an establishment that has the tvs to spare indulging me. Overall, I have not found a better bar establishment in the valley and you can expect to see me return.

    We have been wanting to try this place for awhile. First we asked for a beer menu and they told us we had to check the website for it. We ordered our food and the kids food came out but not ours. Our kid's were done eating when ours finally arrived. My salad was wilted, no dressing and they forgot the grilled chicken. I told the waitress and she brought out the chicken and dressing. Chicken was tasteless and the dressing tasted like old olive oil. My husband's last chicken wings was raw when he bit into it. They took the salad off the bill. Then waitress was nice and apologetic but the kitchen needs help. We were beyond unimpressed with the food. It took to long for raw, tasteless food and over priced food. If we ever go back it will be just for the beer.

    I don't usually create reviews, but... Had lunch here for the first time and it was terrible. Asked for the burger to be cooked medium and received a well done burger. Tastes like rubber. Received our appetizer within 20 mins and the meal within 2 mins after the appetizer. Had to send back the appetizer. The waiter mixed up our meal with the other tables meal. I overheard her send back the sandwich we ordered. This place is not busy and there is no excuse for it. I am disappointed and will not return. I'm sure their doors will close if they don't change their business.

    New menu is a BUST. Pricey and tasteless. Non-happy hour appetizer prices are very high. $6 for edamame (only $1 off on HH), $12 shrimp cocktail (not avail on HH but what is this place trying to be??), fried shrimp $11, $9 wings. Wow. Regular menu items are also over-priced. $10 for Mac and cheese w/no toppings? Got a bottle beer special - it was luke-warm. Mentioned to the bartender and he acknowledged it and said he'd already put ice on the others but didn't offer to get me a cold one, etc. (Sun 7:30pm 9/22). Nice they have TVs in men's room but glass over TV has graffiti scratched in it and other one has a big burn mark. Also, one of the paper towel dispensers is out of towels (Sun night 9/22) :( They have a total of ZERO TVs that you can see if you're facing south in the restaurant/bar. Tons of room for them! Guy next to me paid $14 for Corned Beef and Cabbage and said it was just OK. Place needs to do something different on Sundays. Literally 10 people in entire place on Sunday night for Bears/Steelers game. Only 5 of the 7 TVs on patio are working (9/22)

    I almost bought a house down the street from House Of Brews just so I could go there more often! NO KIDDING! The meat and cheese boards are INSANE, the CRAFT BEER selection both in bottles and ON TAP is always out of this world and your ALL favorite sports are always on 35ish Big Ass flat screens TVs. YES, HEAVEN!

  • Dustin W.

    Wife and I decided to try a new place. Lately we've been hitting up some breweries, and this one is reasonably close to home, so we thought why not. The good: Beer list was extensive and served cold. Mac & Cheese was alright. Waitress was nice. Wife thought the burger was OK. Lots of TVs you could easily see to watch several things at once. The bad: The first beer we ordered was not available (San Tan Epicenter). The Mac & Cheese was only good if you ate the warmer part on the inside, because the outside was cold and hard as if it had been sitting for quite a while. Took a long time to initially get a waiter to our table and was very slow to return each time. The bread that came out with the Mac & Cheese was literally burnt black. The waitress offered to bring out non-burnt bread but never actually brought any out. We were never asked how our meals were. As a place to dine, I would not return here and recommend anyone else against considering eating here. I would however consider returning here if I wanted to drink beers and watch a game, which may yield a different experience.

    I have been here twice with my husband and two small kids. This is a sports bar type place and I usually don't like to take my kids into bars. Luckily for me they are a very friendly bunch and also have kids menus and crayons. We came in here to watch a specific game and the manager was wonderful and accommodating. The waitress was great and on point the entire time. The food was great. I had the Reuben and my husband had the Mac and cheese. They have a huge selection of specialty beer. Which makes sense because of their name. Overall the place has a good feel and We will go back again.

  • Tiffanie P.

    Terrible. My "medium rare" burger was charred & tasted like it was cooked on a very dirty grill. The ruben did not have any sauce, and it should have something. The service was horrible. We had to flag down 2 other waiters because we couldn't find ours. To top it off, all 6 of us felt really bad the evening following our meal. I wouldn't eat here again. Their beer list is good, but there are enough beer bars in the area with good food that this one should be avoided. And it was HOT inside. Another couple even walked in and mentioned the heat and walked out. Just bad all the way around.

    Outstanding new GM, Patrick is doing an awesome job! Same friendly staff but it's very evident lots of service training has done. Everyone seems to work as a team and there's minimal wait time for food. New Executive chef is GREAT!! Lots of new daily specials. Food is even better than a few months ago. Hats off to the owners for encouraging lots of smiles and changing things up. Favorite place in East Valley!!

    After writing bad reviews about the service here, I tried it again recently and it was much better. Not sure if I caught them on a good night or what but much improvement from other visits. (Figured I owed them a better review after the last visit.) Always good food but still over priced.

  • Robb B.

    The only reason we gave one star is because Yelp does not allow zero. When we first walked in, the hostess was very rude because we were meeting people who were already seated in the bar area, and she wanted us to wait to be seated even after we explained that they had already saved our seats. Later on a few others wanted to join us, but when we attempted to push 2 empty tables together she came over to reprimand us for how the tables were arranged. Then, to add insult to injury, the chef came out of the kitchen area and told us to move the tables back because, and I quote, "You don't want to piss off the chef". The place wasn't even busy! I ordered the meat pie which was ice-cold in the middle, and for obvious reasons I did not trust sending it back to be reheated, well, because, "the chef does not want to be pissed off!" The server never asked how the food was nor did he notice that I wasn't eating, so I made a point to let him know that the pie was cold. He took it back and the aforementioned chef allegedly took the temperature and said that I should have eaten it because it was at the proper temp. This is impossible, since it was cold to begin with and had been sitting for an additional 20 minutes. Also worth mentioning: the men's room was filthy, giving me reason to believe the kitchen may also be filthy! Needless to say, we will never be back.

    I had driven past HOB several times and finally decided to give it a shot. I was amazed at how busy it was since it's in a shopping center that doesn't really have anything else going for it. I was impressed with how many good craft beers they had on their list, they even had hop slam which was hard to come by. You could tell the waitress had a huge workload but still provided good service and my glass was never empty. Tim, one of the managers, made his way by every table asking how the service was and if there was anything they could do better. They have a very diverse selection of food and the blackened chicken wrap I ordered did not disappoint. Ever since Boombozz switched to american tap house I have been looking for a new place. House of Brews is definitely it!

    Didn't plan on going there today, but a Bratwurst craving drove the car directly to the place. I ordered Mama's Little Brats off the appetizer menu. I wouldn't call this an appetizer for 1 or 2. It had 3 large brats sitting on a bed of the house kraut with onions and peppers. The brats were fantastic, lean with an excellent texture that went well with the spicy mustard. A+. The kraut was an issue for me, it's a house made kraut that didn't have the zing a good German , Jewish or Irish kraut possesses. Very mild. C+ No complaints at all about the service, kept the water glasses full, checked in appropriately to see if we needed anything, very friendly. A+ Let's chat briefly about dessert, I was a bit full for the bread pudding I wanted so I went with the house made Blueberry ice cream. For the price, the portion was great, but the ice cream itself was excellent and chocked full of fresh blueberries. A+. I will return to try a few other items that caught my eye. Henry

    Great choice of craft beers. BBQ pork sandwich was exceptional. Mac and cheese was solid - smokey and creamy.

    Love this place! Went in on a Sunday mid morning to watch some football and have some breakfast. Lots of TVs of course, great selection and variety of beers, many local breweries too, and the staff makes you feel very comfortable there. Turns out, much better food than the standard Sports type bars. Yeah, you can get wings, nachos burgers and stuff like that but their take on making it takes them up a notch over typical sports grille faire. I had simply bacon, eggs, hash browns and toast. Boring right? Well, not exactly, they add a lot of flavor with nice details like chives on the scrambled eggs, peppers and onions in the potatoes etc. Wife had the eggs benedict. They used corned beef instead of ham or Canadian bacon like most do, jalapenos and added some other nice fresh ingredients. Later on during the afternoon games wife and I split a bowl full of steamers, was great. Josh the bartender was attentive, Tim from the kitchen even checked on us and Aaron and other staff (that I didn't catch names) all came around to make sure we were having a good experience. My Browns, lost...again and my fantasy team didn't do well but the was a great day here and a terrific experience. We will be back and would recommend.

    Chef Tim's menu is knocking it out of the park. Not just bar food, but upscale bar food (without upscale prices), and full entrees as well. The smoked Gouda mac and cheese is to DIE for. Fried Tomato BLT was amazing. Great burgers, great portions - everything we've tried here has been a home run. And the Stout Bread Pudding? Fuggeddaboutit. Lots of TVs to capture all the games, and an extensive beer (draught) list that has something for everyone. We've had a great experience every time, and everyone we've recommended it to or brought along with us has LOVED it. I can't wait to go back! Tomorrow sounds perfect...

    Ok so my first experience with this place was in the summer of 2012 all I could say was fail. It's been almost 2 years and was near and had about two hours to kill..read some positive reviws and said why not I heard they had redone the place and had new owners. Well I am glad I did. Beer selection is great had a few great choices for me and the wife as we are on opposite sides of the beer spectrum. Now the food. ..I would have say very interesting menu. I went for the black and blue burger. Is it good when the juices are running down your arm? Uhhh ya... Cooked to requested temp. Nice. The wife had their Nan bread Flatbread, pretty tasty also. I was not that impressed with the fried pickles.. but no doubt we will be back.

    This is pretty cool bar for beer lovers. There's a huge selection of drafts and to help you make a selection there are a couple of big screens showing what's on tap (most of them anyway). The information includes the name of the beer, the brewer, alcohol content and even a little icon that tells you how much is left in the keg. I have only had a couple of meals there but have no complaints about either. The only thing that kept me from giving this place the fifth star is the service form behind the bar. The guys that have served me in the past have acted like they would rather be someplace else. I can't say they were rude, just not friendly.

    So my wife and i like this place at first but it has gone down hill since the first two times we came here. The first two times the food and customer service was great they treated us very nicely and we also have a 16 month old and they were very friendly with him and also went above an beyond to cater to him. Then my wife and I went there a third time and the food was not as good as the first two times but not horrible and the customer service was not as great as it had been. Then we went a fourth time and I got the "special" it was a Gnocchi plate which is my favorite pasta and it came and was a puny helping my wife got a burger and a side of Macaroni and Cheese her side was bigger than my dish which was kind of ridiculous. So we decided to take a hiatus since but felt compelled to go on 3-2-14 because well a beer sounded good and figured we would try again. Well that was the wrong thing to do, so our server was busy at first so someone else helped us and she was great I wish she would have been our server she was playing with our son and talking to him. Then our server took over it seemed like he had not served much we ordered our food and we asked for specific things to not be on our meals and how the meals were to be cooked. So after our order was taken our son was starting to get antsy so we just asked for some crackers to tide him over and our server said sure but i will have to charge you, charge me for crackers???? really crackers???? in our first two outings the servers brought our son puffs and apple sauce out of kindness no charge and this guy is charging for crackers come on man! So after the cracker debaucle we get our food well my wife's burger is over cooked and the fries are blah and my chicken sandwich is not how i asked for it we just ate the food because we did not want to be there any longer. So then we get our bill (yes the crackers were there) and they have a neat thing where they put the bill in a novel not a normal fold, well this book was filled with graffitti now I am not a prude by any means but why are we given a book that has pornographic images and language that would make a sailor blush. I am sorry but what if a kid opened this book up I cannot believe management would allow this if that were seen by the wrong person i am sure one of the local news channels could be called I will not be back 2 stars is for the first two visits if i were to judge on newer vists it would be 1

    I have never cared to dine at a Sports Bar especially with kids but, I definitely would have to say HOB has changed my mind about sports bar dining. We had a lot of fun eating here with the kids and they all loved every bit of their meals. We had deep fried pickles as an appetizer and the batter was amazing. I had the Maine lobster roll with buffalo chips something I have never had before which was very delicious. The Monte Cristo was out of this world. The only other place I have had this dish was at Disneyland and I thought I would have to go back there just to have it again. So you can imagine my astonishment to see this on the menu. We just had to order it! I am a Sports bar food convert but, maybe just for HOB. Much thanks to the great staff!

    We have been there a couple times since they opened. The atmosphere is great. the food is amazing! They have a chicken disk that it delicious. I have also had the prime rib which was huge and melted in my mouth. The last time I went I had the blackened chicken wrap and it was awesome. They have many sides from fruit to an amazing mac and cheese. The restaurant itself is clean and spacious. It's a sports bar/grill so there are nice largeTV's for watching the game there. Our waitress said they were adding more soon and opening a back room for parties. The wait staff are very personable. I believe our waitress's name was Denessa.?.? She was awesome. Our drinks were never empty and she was very pleasant. They have a lot of beers and ciders on tap which is great. Beers are craft types, but they have the normal old american beers too. We will be going back and hanging out and watching games and having dinner here.

    I live near by and visit often. I like the atmosphere. But the service really needs help. There is only one bartender at all times. For that size of place especially during happy hour. I think if they would add a bar back or another bartender this would help immensely. The wait time to get a beer or food is ridiculous.

    Have been going here since it opened. Large beer selection for him, daughter rates the Mac and cheese as a 10 1/2 (she uses HOB as the standard) and today I had the most delicious grilled portobello sandwich ever!!

  • Kenisa H.

    We came for the lunch special (half sandwich and side for $6). It was delicious!! I ordered the Blacked Chicken Wrap; the aioli and blackened chicken made this an exceptional wrap! The house mac n cheese was amazing as well. I can't wait to come back and try one of the many craft beers on draft! Would recommend this place to anyone at anytime!

  • Brad J.

    I want to start out by saying Josh, the bartender does an excellent job. If you want to be educated on beer selection and walk out of there impressed, ask for Josh. Sliders, nachos, salads, and basically all appetizers are awesome and you must try them all with a paired beer choice. The burgers could all use some touching up and fine tuning, but it depends on who is grilling that night I guess. They take pride in their sports bar and beer selection, and it shows in their service. Live music on the weekends and good service anywhere in the bar make HOB very enjoyable, and they have a dog friendly patio. This is a great spot for lunch, or to take a significant other out for a "sports bar" night.

    Great food! Been here for lunch at least 3 times since it is close to my office. Prime Dip sandwich is tasty, and there is a reasonably-priced lunch special where you can order 1/2 sandwich with soup or salad or side. Servers were always pleasant and attentive. Bill comes inside a book that you can write comments in which is cool, because you can see what others have written too. Not fancy ambiance, but a happy and comfortable place. Love this place. : )

  • Zachary S.

    $6 for edamame...you know the stuff that a Sushi place serves up for free while you wait. For the quality (or lack of) that you get here the prices are definitely out of whack. Plenty of T.Vs, even in the bathroom, makes it a good place to watch the game! The big miss here though was the service, Literally like 20 minutes before anyone came, and when she finally did, acted kind of surly (I think she was trying to be witty, but just came off rude) Staff was all kinds of chummy around the bar, which is nice...but not if I'm still waiting for my beer. Beer list is solid and extensive to be fair...but definitely not what I'd call imaginative. Flanny's in Tempe?...now THATS a place for beer lovers!

    So I'd love to write a great review but I'm elsewhere eating dinner and drinking beers. Why? Because my friend and I (both women) could not justify paying a $5 cover to see a fight that 1. We could careless about. 2. Could see up the street for free 3. Could have parked in the parking lot and watched. So, sorry to say we will be spending our money and tipping well here at Gordon Biersch.

  • Felix H.

    Corned Beef and Cabbage was tasteless and had the odor of bad feet (was this more than day old grub?). Prices are high for the portion size you receive. If I wanted food servings the size that Tapas bars serve I would go to one in Chandler or elsewhere not HOB. Speaking of brews, I like my domestic lagers served ice cold not lukewarm like that of an English pub in Canterbury serving a pint of Bitter. Note to the weary fellow eater: Avoid this place and spend your hard earned money elsewhere. You're better off going to Vincent's on Camelback for an elegant dinner, top notch drinks and cold beer than a 21st century house of horrors, I mean house of warm brews. Letdown of the year for me.

    Great place, very nice and clean, friendly staff, amazing beer selection. BUT, they are SO slow. If you order a beer, it should be at your table in 2-3 minutes - not 8-10. And, if you run out of something - you should tell the table that immediately. They are consistently slow.... If you're a slow person - then you'll love this place.

  • Amy M.

    The family and I along with a couple friends decided to try this place for a little variety. The experience was less than stellar. If I could give no stars I would. The Bad: Kids both wanted a cream soda (bottled) and when the waitress came back she informed us there was only one bottle left...really? It's soda for crying out loud. I decided to order a Kiltlifter (some special edition) and again....OUT! Now I'm slightly annoyed...Friday night, full house and by the way...also informed the kitchen is about 25 minutes "behind" so if we wanted to order an appetizer it would be best to put it in with our dinner order. Ok, whatever...we decided to order nachos. Nacho's came out STONE COLD, sent them back as they were inedible. The manager then came over (he was very nice, apologetic and again telling us the kitchen was "behind") apologized, offered to "buy us a round" (that didn't happen by the way even though we ordered a couple more rounds in the 2.5 hours we were there) and wanted to make sure we were "happy". Out comes nacho plate number 2, by the manager stating they were "fresh out of the oven". Not so much, again...STONE COLD ON cold plate. Ugh...didn't bother sending them back as it clearly was not going to do any good. So finally out comes dinner...everyone had yes you guessed it...cold food. By this time we just wanted to leave. So along comes the waitress, who is clearly annoyed and drops off the check....nachos included. Now one would think that if the manager came over, offered a round of drinks and apologized profusely about cold food and slow kitchen service that the nachos would have never made it to the bill. Needless to say we just paid and left...and will never return. Robert Irvine would be having a field day in this place! Total bill for a family of 4 for cold food and a couple beers: $78 (that included my barely deserved 15% tip (normally I go 20% all the way...not this time) The Good: 1. Apologetic manager that seemed sincere, but clearly didn't follow through with any amount of customer service. 2. At least the beer was cold. Save your money as there are plenty of other beer/sports bars with much better service and hot food. Can't believe this place had a full house!

  • C P.

    Beers were great. Nachos not so much. I was a big fan of the HOB prior to it closing and reopening. Chris (our waiter) was very friendly, helpful and generally great. However the nachos left alot to be desired. There was both cheese sauce and cheese on them. Super weird. The steak was of much poorer quality than when I used to frequent House of Brews. I am hoping with was a 1 off bad experience. I plan on going back but next time ordering something different.

  • Tracey K.

    Holy cow...I really wanted to like this place, but the overall experience was bad. The food came out at room temperature/cold. The service took FOREVER! Our server kept telling us it would be out in a few seconds (both drinks and food). A few seconds turned out to be well over 30 minutes. I guess the bar was backed up and the bartender couldn't get to our drinks in a reasonable amount of time (iced tea, vanilla beer in a bottle and the cappuccino stout on tap). There was another booth next to us that hadn't even been greeted by their server...they were completely forgotten! With all the options of bars/restaurants in the area, I doubt we'll be back.

    Was driving down the road and noticed this place with a patio full of flat screen televisions. The goal - find a bar with good TVs to watch some Sunday football... Oh boy. What a treat?! Great TVs, high definition and excellent viewing angles. Perfect for your Sunday football fix. If you are into fantasy they have every game on in Hd on gorgeous new flat screens. The waitress was extremely attentive making sure that every low beer was followed by a prompt cold full beer. With the name House of Brews you would assume they would have a range of beers and that assumptions is correct. They have both a diverse selection of draft and bottle beers. Usually bars that have a lot of micro beers have a pretty decent menu and...drum roll please.. Legit. Legit menu. They have Lobster Rolls! Yes! I have been looking for a Lobster Roll in the Phoenix area for 5 years. The price point is good and the lobster roll has a decent amount of lobster meat with the right amount of seasoning and dressing. I know I said decent and generally that's associated with bad but the fact they had the hoagie roll toasted with fresh lobster prepared the right right way does it for me. If we lived by a body of water I would expect more but we don't so I will settle with fresh and tasty. My inner fat kid went on full assault with an order of the clam roll, clam chowder, burger, Mac and cheese and onion rings. Yes, yes and yes. 5 stars. Period. Great crunch, seasoned breading, thick juicy burger, creamy Mac and delicious chowder. I'm not from Boston but it reminds me of every visit when I'm there... I definitely recommend this place.

    Really, I would give this place 3.5 stars because there were things about our experience that were 5 stars and then things that we about a 2-3 star. Location for me is great, literally a 2 min drive from my house. We walked in and I kid you not, there were 16 TV's plastered all over this place...a sports lovers heaven! Problem is they only had on 1 game. Service was very friendly and attentive, for me 5 stars. The wait time for food was a bit much (25 minutes for burgers) and the burgers for me weren't that good. I ordered my Avocado Burger to be Medium and it came out very well done. It was dry and I didn't end up eating it all. However, the macaroni and cheese was a slam dunk..5 stars! My boyfriend and I couldn't get enough of it! The burgers came with their branding "HOB" on top, which I thought was a cool touch. Beers were also ice cold and had a variety to choose from...another sports lovers dream! I would return but not order a burger.

    I've been to this location since it was Uncle Bear's and these owner have finally got it right! Service and food have never been better. The beer selection is great and changes regularly which is great to try new microbrews or other non-commercial labels. For sports it is great to have over 16 large screen TVs with all of the Sunday Ticket. The Chef even came to our table to ask how everything was, and it was great to be able to give a compliment to him. The owners are from Boston, but hey no place is perfect. If you want a great beer or food, this is a great place to go.

  • Chris S.

    Looks like there are a few people that had a negative experience here but my first experience the other night was a good one. The place has a neighborhood sports bar feel to it but lacks a little bit in terms of identity. There is a collection of Boston area sports memorabilia hanging in one spot but not much in the way of local team stuff. The TV's are plenty and unless you are ultra picky I don't understand how you could not watch what you want to see. The beer list is better than most and I had a coffee stout there that was excellent. I only sampled the Mac and Cheese there which is made with a smoked Gouda and happened to be one of the best I've had and the french dip which was excellent. A few of my buddies tried the steak and burger and were also very happy. The owners were involved and hooked us up with some additional sides after talking to them a bit which was very nice. I thought the prices were just fine but then again many people benchmark against the big chain restaurants which I refuse to support so I lack context there. I will certainly be back.

    Visited HOB for lunch this week to check out the new menu,ownership etc.. Love the new ambiance and vibe - the place is definitely on the up & up! Ordered the Spinach salad, it was very tasty, fresh chicken and avocado was delightful. They also have upcoming events and a boatload of big screens to watch ALL the games, not to mention the multitude of craft beers they have on draft... I'll be back for sure!

    I really wanted to like this place. My wife and I both had burgers. To quote the old Wendy's commercial; "Where's the beef??" The bun was 3-4 times larger than the burger! It was like they put a slider on a full-size hamburger bun. What a rip-off. Extremely disappointing. Needless to say, we won't be going back.

  • Art R.

    The place is brand new so I will have to come back to see if there are signs of improvement. The menu is very ecclectic, with everything from your standard bar nachos, burgers to mussels and prime rib. Some of the food seemed fairly priced while others seemed a little high, burgers for example were pretty much all over $10 The food was just ok, nothing special but they are new so kind of giving them the benefit of the doubt but for the prices they will need to step it up a notch. The decor is spartan but clean, not sure what the theme is that they are trying to accomplish, layout looks much more like a casual diner than a bar or upscale restaurant. Now my big beef. If you are going to call yourself House of Brews the focus should be on the beer, which it clearly is not. Some local distributors sold them a bill of goods. They have a pretty decent size beer list but the bad thing is they are wasting a number of taps on beers that tastes alike, Victoria, Budweiser and Coors Light, Stella Artrois and Redhook? Come on now, you only need one bland beer, and 2 ciders? Really., Give the people of Gibert some credit. Only one SanTan beer on but 4 Four Peaks beers, that's not fair. All the other beers were also just very pedestrian. It wouldn't take much like having 1 beer knowledgeable person on staff to revamp that list and make the beer stand out instead of just becoming known for a place that buys the cheapest beer from the distributors that they can. When I go back instead of ordering an everyday meaningless beer I'll take a water or a coke unless they change it up. I'm sure people in Gilbert want to have a place to go for beer that is on par with places in nearby Chandler, Tempe and Scottsdale. So far this isn't it.

    Gotta try this place. New owners for 6 weeks, dozens of micros on tap, and the food is great and plentiful. I had Fish and Chips which were great, four pieces of beer battered cod and a huge pile of crispy, crunchy wedge fries, along with slaw and house made tartar sauce. The hubby had corned beef and cabbage: shredded corned beef with a huge pile of cabbage, veggies and a side. We couldn't even consider dessert and brought home leftovers for two more meal. Very reasonably priced. Nice folks, great food, tons of TVs and a huge selection of beers. What could be better? To Lauren J- they were very accommodating about changing channels on any TV that you found convenient. Please go, we'd like to see this place stick around!

    Been to house a few times and have eaten there twice. I wish I could get separate stars for just the food and beer because it would be a solid 4 stars. Good burgers and wings and the beer selection is amazing. The only downside I would have to say is the patrons, they seem to have a lot of regulars at this place and kinda sketchy characters. Place looks like a strip club from the outside as well. The staff is always friendly and attentive.

    The love and I came here for dinner one evening. It's basically down the street from my house. Score! I wish I would've written this review earlier so I can remember all the little details. I think they're known for their mac and cheese because they have 6 different mac and cheese dishes but I ended up ordering the fish sandwich since I couldn't eat meat this day. The beer battered fish that came in the sandwich was huge! It was bigger than the actual sandwich! It was quite tasty. I also got a side of the mac and cheese (without meat of course) which was reallyyyyy good. The only downfall was the sandwich was soooo messy! Everything came apart. When I told the waiter he said it's better to order the fish and chips. It's basically the same exact thing and less messy. & you can order bread with it if you really wanted to. They had live music when we came and it was extremely loud so we ended up sitting on their patio. The waiter was great and was very attentive. He always made sure we had everything we needed. They also have different specials each day of the week too. I'll definitely be back to try their other mac and cheese dishes!!

    New menu is a BUST. Pricey and tasteless. Non-happy hour appetizer prices are very high. $6 for edamame (only $1 off on HH), $12 shrimp cocktail (not avail on HH but what is this place trying to be??), fried shrimp $11, $9 wings. Wow. Regular menu items are also over-priced. $10 for Mac and cheese w/no toppings? Got a bottle beer special - it was luke-warm. Mentioned to the bartender and he acknowledged it and said he'd already put ice on the others but didn't offer to get me a cold one, etc. (Sun 7:30pm 9/22). Nice they have TVs in men's room but glass over TV has graffiti scratched in it and other one has a big burn mark. Also, one of the paper towel dispensers is out of towels (Sun night 9/22) :( They have a total of ZERO TVs that you can see if you're facing south in the restaurant/bar. Tons of room for them! Guy next to me paid $14 for Corned Beef and Cabbage and said it was just OK. Place needs to do something different on Sundays. Literally 10 people in entire place on Sunday night for Bears/Steelers game. Only 5 of the 7 TVs on patio are working (9/22)

    I almost bought a house down the street from House Of Brews just so I could go there more often! NO KIDDING! The meat and cheese boards are INSANE, the CRAFT BEER selection both in bottles and ON TAP is always out of this world and your ALL favorite sports are always on 35ish Big Ass flat screens TVs. YES, HEAVEN!

    Wife and I decided to try a new place. Lately we've been hitting up some breweries, and this one is reasonably close to home, so we thought why not. The good: Beer list was extensive and served cold. Mac & Cheese was alright. Waitress was nice. Wife thought the burger was OK. Lots of TVs you could easily see to watch several things at once. The bad: The first beer we ordered was not available (San Tan Epicenter). The Mac & Cheese was only good if you ate the warmer part on the inside, because the outside was cold and hard as if it had been sitting for quite a while. Took a long time to initially get a waiter to our table and was very slow to return each time. The bread that came out with the Mac & Cheese was literally burnt black. The waitress offered to bring out non-burnt bread but never actually brought any out. We were never asked how our meals were. As a place to dine, I would not return here and recommend anyone else against considering eating here. I would however consider returning here if I wanted to drink beers and watch a game, which may yield a different experience.

    I have been here twice with my husband and two small kids. This is a sports bar type place and I usually don't like to take my kids into bars. Luckily for me they are a very friendly bunch and also have kids menus and crayons. We came in here to watch a specific game and the manager was wonderful and accommodating. The waitress was great and on point the entire time. The food was great. I had the Reuben and my husband had the Mac and cheese. They have a huge selection of specialty beer. Which makes sense because of their name. Overall the place has a good feel and We will go back again.

    So my wife and i like this place at first but it has gone down hill since the first two times we came here. The first two times the food and customer service was great they treated us very nicely and we also have a 16 month old and they were very friendly with him and also went above an beyond to cater to him. Then my wife and I went there a third time and the food was not as good as the first two times but not horrible and the customer service was not as great as it had been. Then we went a fourth time and I got the "special" it was a Gnocchi plate which is my favorite pasta and it came and was a puny helping my wife got a burger and a side of Macaroni and Cheese her side was bigger than my dish which was kind of ridiculous. So we decided to take a hiatus since but felt compelled to go on 3-2-14 because well a beer sounded good and figured we would try again. Well that was the wrong thing to do, so our server was busy at first so someone else helped us and she was great I wish she would have been our server she was playing with our son and talking to him. Then our server took over it seemed like he had not served much we ordered our food and we asked for specific things to not be on our meals and how the meals were to be cooked. So after our order was taken our son was starting to get antsy so we just asked for some crackers to tide him over and our server said sure but i will have to charge you, charge me for crackers???? really crackers???? in our first two outings the servers brought our son puffs and apple sauce out of kindness no charge and this guy is charging for crackers come on man! So after the cracker debaucle we get our food well my wife's burger is over cooked and the fries are blah and my chicken sandwich is not how i asked for it we just ate the food because we did not want to be there any longer. So then we get our bill (yes the crackers were there) and they have a neat thing where they put the bill in a novel not a normal fold, well this book was filled with graffitti now I am not a prude by any means but why are we given a book that has pornographic images and language that would make a sailor blush. I am sorry but what if a kid opened this book up I cannot believe management would allow this if that were seen by the wrong person i am sure one of the local news channels could be called I will not be back 2 stars is for the first two visits if i were to judge on newer vists it would be 1

    I have never cared to dine at a Sports Bar especially with kids but, I definitely would have to say HOB has changed my mind about sports bar dining. We had a lot of fun eating here with the kids and they all loved every bit of their meals. We had deep fried pickles as an appetizer and the batter was amazing. I had the Maine lobster roll with buffalo chips something I have never had before which was very delicious. The Monte Cristo was out of this world. The only other place I have had this dish was at Disneyland and I thought I would have to go back there just to have it again. So you can imagine my astonishment to see this on the menu. We just had to order it! I am a Sports bar food convert but, maybe just for HOB. Much thanks to the great staff!

    I want to start out by saying Josh, the bartender does an excellent job. If you want to be educated on beer selection and walk out of there impressed, ask for Josh. Sliders, nachos, salads, and basically all appetizers are awesome and you must try them all with a paired beer choice. The burgers could all use some touching up and fine tuning, but it depends on who is grilling that night I guess. They take pride in their sports bar and beer selection, and it shows in their service. Live music on the weekends and good service anywhere in the bar make HOB very enjoyable, and they have a dog friendly patio. This is a great spot for lunch, or to take a significant other out for a "sports bar" night.

    Great food! Been here for lunch at least 3 times since it is close to my office. Prime Dip sandwich is tasty, and there is a reasonably-priced lunch special where you can order 1/2 sandwich with soup or salad or side. Servers were always pleasant and attentive. Bill comes inside a book that you can write comments in which is cool, because you can see what others have written too. Not fancy ambiance, but a happy and comfortable place. Love this place. : )

    $6 for edamame...you know the stuff that a Sushi place serves up for free while you wait. For the quality (or lack of) that you get here the prices are definitely out of whack. Plenty of T.Vs, even in the bathroom, makes it a good place to watch the game! The big miss here though was the service, Literally like 20 minutes before anyone came, and when she finally did, acted kind of surly (I think she was trying to be witty, but just came off rude) Staff was all kinds of chummy around the bar, which is nice...but not if I'm still waiting for my beer. Beer list is solid and extensive to be fair...but definitely not what I'd call imaginative. Flanny's in Tempe?...now THATS a place for beer lovers!

    So I'd love to write a great review but I'm elsewhere eating dinner and drinking beers. Why? Because my friend and I (both women) could not justify paying a $5 cover to see a fight that 1. We could careless about. 2. Could see up the street for free 3. Could have parked in the parking lot and watched. So, sorry to say we will be spending our money and tipping well here at Gordon Biersch.

    Corned Beef and Cabbage was tasteless and had the odor of bad feet (was this more than day old grub?). Prices are high for the portion size you receive. If I wanted food servings the size that Tapas bars serve I would go to one in Chandler or elsewhere not HOB. Speaking of brews, I like my domestic lagers served ice cold not lukewarm like that of an English pub in Canterbury serving a pint of Bitter. Note to the weary fellow eater: Avoid this place and spend your hard earned money elsewhere. You're better off going to Vincent's on Camelback for an elegant dinner, top notch drinks and cold beer than a 21st century house of horrors, I mean house of warm brews. Letdown of the year for me.

    This place is disgusting. The food is bland. No flavor at all. I should have kept driving and gone to McDonald's. Also, The amount of bugs flying around is unacceptable. It makes me wonder what it is like in the kitchen. I spent my meal fighting off flies and other flying bugs (not sure what they were... Baby flies? Maggots with wings? Who knows?) Overall disgusting experience and just waiting on the food poisoning to kick in.... I'm certain it is coming... Only good thing is there are good beers...

    This place was incredible!!! Reasonably priced and fast service! I got the Mac and cheese and my fiancé got the fried tomato BLT. Both exceeded expectations. We also shared the fried pickle appetizer with friends which were fried to perfection and served with a unique house cumber sauce. Our friends got fried cookie dough rolls which were a fantastic finish to the meal. Add to it a wide selection flog brews both local and national and you have a fantastic meal! We read about the Sunday breakfast and a free Bloody Mary with each breakfast entree we will definetly be back to try something else on the menu!

    Best ribs/rib tips I've had! I'm from LA and it would be worth it to come back just for either of them. We tried them at the Great American BBQ and Brewery. We waited in line for 45 minutes to try a "Kansas City Award Winning" competitor (following the crowed) and these are WAY better!!

    We love House of Brews and still do for drinks. The new menu seems a little odd for a brew pub. Gone are the brats, basic cheeseburger and French dip. They have been replaced by chicken liver mousse, a yellow fin burger and chorizo mussels. At least the Mac and cheese is still on the menu, even if it's no longer build your own.

    Loved this place! Sat out of the patio today for lunch to watch some of the opening day Red Sox game. Food is amazing. Ordered the Ipswich fried clams which were relish and straight out of a Cape Cod menu. Husband had the Italian, which was enormous and enough to bring home half for dinner. Beer selection - more than worthy. I had the Lobster Roll lunch special and was everything I expected it to be. Thanks for the Cracker Jacks Tim! This place is great, be back very soon

    Visited for 1st time on Saturday for lunch. They advertise 49 beers on tap. The 1st beer I requested was not available. I ended up with a Desert Eagle Dunkelweizen which was excellent. Tried the Pretzel Board as an appetizer. It came with 3 soft pretzels, a cheese sauce and a brown mustard. I thought it was good. I tried their Mac N Cheese "The Original Mac". I think everybody has different ideas of what makes a good mac n cheese so I'd say you need to try it and judge for yourself. The waitress and server were excellent. I will definately come back.

  • Michael M.

    Kind of dive/sports bar with a solid selection of craft beer. Service was good, but the food menu & quality left a lot to be desired. The good selection of beers comes at a price here, many in the $7 + category. I'd recommend it if you want to watch a game, aren't hungry and don't mind paying a bit of a premium for good beer.

  • Bill B.

    They raised the beer prices and made this bar just average now. Before you could go drink beer listen to decent music and watch sports at an afordable price. If it stays this way I will go to Stadium Club or Rto's beter bargain all the way around

  • David T.

    I wish I could give 2 1/2 stars. Been going to HOB for little over a year now on a weekly basis. In November this review would have been 4-5 stars, but the recent changes made us to start looking for another bar home. The Good: - Beer selection is awesome and only a couple of times have they been out of the beer I wanted. Good mix of local and destination craft brews. - The manager is awesome. He makes the rounds every time we are there and tries to fix any problem with service or food to make it right. - They are VERY kid friendly for being a beer bar. Many of the staff have young kids and pay extra attention to the kids and parents to keep the kids happy. The Bad: - It sucks that the manager has had to 'rectify the situation' multiple times in the last couple months. Not sure if the wait staff is new or if the kitchen staff is not good, but definite change in experience lately. - The menu change is HORRIBLE. Mac n Cheese and burgers are still good, but not for $12-16. I'm sure it was to decrease number of items to keep in stock, but the best things on menu were the easiest to make. Prime Rib flatbread, nachos, quesadilla, etc, but were taken off. The menu was what made this our favorite bar spot, and now it seems overpriced for the quality and selection.

    This place was sooo good at one time...then they went and changed their menu. With the new management, changed menu and HORRIBLE service this place is no longer worth the drive. We live a half a mile away, just to give you an idea...

    Apparently there's something wrong with the ventilation system in the kitchen... that, or something's on fire... Either way, smoke in the dining room is never good. Our server was awesome and the manager was on the floor checking on everyone, which was cool. The room to the south of the main area has comfy couches. Great place to watch FB!!! Now if I can just stop my eyes from burning... 4 stars for service, # of TVs, sound system and couches :)

    This place CONTINUES to adapt. It's so nice to come in and be constantly surprised. It doesn't always work, but man... their new bbq is phenomenal and Germann is a wonderful new addition too.

  • Nikki S.

    WARNING!!!! If you come here and get the waitress with the do-rag, resting bitch face and the nicotine patch.......MOVE SECTIONS IMMEDIATELY. REQUEST IMMEDIATE TRANSFER OF SECTION, get your own drinks or go to the kitchen to deliver your own food. We sat in amazement with this girl. It became funny during our stay, because she just kept getting worse. We had to literally WAVE our hands in the air to get attention EVERY TIME. We stopped the underage bus boy 90% or the time and ordered drinks through him, then she would bring them. We asked for the bill........she brought us another round of drinks. Here's something crazy, just a suggestion, I'm no bar owner or anything. When the bill comes, could you put my food AND drinks on the same bill? We had 2 bills. 1 for food, 1 for drinks. Sadly, we got the bill and SAW only the drinks were on there, we were like....awwwww she realizes she's terrible...............and as we stood up, she brought our food bill. Not a thank you, thanks for coming in, have a good night.....nothing. I'm guessing the nicotine patch was empty.

    Looks like a great place for drinking beer. I ordered take out. Got the BBQ Meal. It was 18 bucks and huge. Meat was over smoked to my taste. The hot links were hotter than the devil, too hot to eat. I throw them out, would even give to my dog. I was disappointed not to see baby back ribs on the menu. Slaw tasted like the just put a little vinegar and sugar on them and very little at that. I give it 3 star for the beer selection and the staff. If you want to drink beer great place. If you want a good BBQ go most any place else.

    I went back today, I had the roast beef sandwich and sweet potato fries. The sandwich was tasty but with the au jus a little salty. The fries were good. I had two tasty session IPAs and an iced tea. My friend had the BLT and soup of the day. He really liked the soup and the blt was good. The server was friendly but a little on the inattentive side. When I got the bill for my sandwich, iced and two beers I was shocked to see it was $30. One beer was $6 and one was $7. These weren't high gravity beers, they were session IPAs. I am bordering on a two star review for the unexpected price gouging. Oh and beware, substituting Mac N' Cheese with a sandwich is a $4 upgrade. Heck, a full side of mac is only $5. It is too bad, I like the place, but for these prices I could eat in Scottsdale not a strip mall in Gilbert.

    Hadn't been in a while and went to dinner last night at HOB. There have been some significant changes. Overall, food was good and beer selection was great. However, menu is different and prices have increased ($11 for a Ruben plus upcharge for onion rings? Ouch!) I had fish and chips - it was good, but the pieces of fish were two very small pieces. I wish I had tried something else ESP at that price point ($12 for fish and chips). Check out the new menu and you decide. :) Personally, Not sure I'll be back again for dinner, but would be ok going for a beer. Good service, but it wasn't crowded.

  • Tonya M.

    Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Service was poor but the food was good. We were greeted quickly and shown to our booth. Our server came over with a beer list that looks like it had been caught in the middle of a food fight. The list had a lot of beers crossed off and then she spouted off more beers they didn't have. I wasn't impressed. We both ordered a chicken sandwich which was very tasty but when I asked for a side of ranch, I waited and waited and waited. Finally, someone else brought it to me. Our server seemed more interested in chit chatting than actually serving us. You can't rely on your good looks forever honey, eventually you'll have to do your job correctly.

  • Rob E.

    I really like this place. They always have a good selection of craft brews. I love there boneless chicken wings, specifically the teriyaki. Pretzel board is good except for the cheese, it tastes like meat.... Kind of like a bunch of lil' smokies were cooked in it. ruins the cheese if you'd ask me. I do come here often. The music is good and there are a lot of tv's. Don't get the ribs tips... Or a side of veggies.... But like I said I do like this place and plan on coming back

    We have been going to HOB for about a year and it quickly became our family's go to restaurant. With the recent menu change/price increase we are disappointed. My favorite salad is now $12 with no chicken? Buffalo chips, hummus, lettuce wraps, bacon cheeseburger, edamame, prime rib flatbread (THE BEST!), prime rib sliders, (among other favorites) are no longer available?!? $2 extra to change from unhealthy fries to a side salad? It's lettuce people... And not much on the menu under $10, not even the daily specials. HOB was a local bar with affordable food and great beer selection that we frequented at least once a week. Wish they would have kept it that way. Have to say we were disappointed to say the least.

    Awesome baked mac n cheese. Don't go on trivia night unless you like loud. And I mean *really* loud. We have been quite a few times and the service is always great, the food is always good, and the beer is always cold. No complaints - just not the extra pizazz that warrants a 5th star. Definitely worth checking out!

    Portions are very nice. Food is pretty good. I have had the club and the wings. Both are great. The Mac and cheese always looks great but I haven't ordered it yet. I work close by and smell the smoker running all the time. Very hard not to get hungry by the smell alone.

    Still strictly average. Sigh. I so wanted them to rebound. But just ordered their flagship Mac and cheese with bacon and hamburger. Found it overly greasy from the meats not being drained properly. On the plus side they had an excellent cherry cider on tap! Miss the old menu variety.

  • Britt P.

    After a few visits to HOB, my experiences can be summarized: great craft selection, decent food, decent service and reasonable prices. Until my most recent visit, there have been only a few occasions that I have requested to try a new beer and it was out. However, when I invited several of my friends to dinner on a Saturday night the experience was much different. Many of the selections were tapped out and it was difficult for the waitress to know which ones would be available. During busy times, the wait for beer can seem a bit long. But, the waiters were great about letting us know if there was a big group in the back. Also, because the beer would fluctuate on availability, this would cause a lot of back and forth visits to tables. All around the waiters and bartenders have been very kind and patient. Food is pretty good. I will have to agree with other reviews: it seems impossible to get your burgers cooked as requested. A friend and I ordered medium well and the meat was cooked to a crisp. BUT! The baked mac and cheese--- oh my gosh!!! So good!!!!! I would forgo any of the burgers just to have the baked mac and cheese. Price is reasonable for the food and beer selection-- provided you get your correct order and they have available beers. Okay I admit it. . . . I am just disappointed that the one time I want to show this place off to my friends they really let me down with the selection :( If it weren't for this thorn in my side- I would give 5 stars!

    I've been to hob twice. Once a couple months ago months ago we went with a huge party and my order never came out after a hour I had to go to work. Well I was walking out the door and my food came out. I told them to keep it. I just left hob a hour ago decided on giving it another try. It was busy. Service was slow but it shouldn't take 40 minutes to put in our order and another 30 minutes for wings and nachos to come out. The nachos were dry like hey been sitting under the heater and the wing were cold on the outside and warm in the middle. Our server never came back to see us or how our food was. If you like sitting around waiting for cold food this is your place.

    Outstanding new GM, Patrick is doing an awesome job! Same friendly staff but it's very evident lots of service training has done.

    After writing bad reviews about the service here, I tried it again recently and it was much better. Not sure if I caught them on a good night or what but much improvement from other visits. (Figured I owed them a better review after the last visit.) Always good food but still over priced.

  • Robb B.

    The only reason we gave one star is because Yelp does not allow zero. When we first walked in, the hostess was very rude because we were meeting people who were already seated in the bar area, and she wanted us to wait to be seated even after we explained that they had already saved our seats. Later on a few others wanted to join us, but when we attempted to push 2 empty tables together she came over to reprimand us for how the tables were arranged. Then, to add insult to injury, the chef came out of the kitchen area and told us to move the tables back because, and I quote, "You don't want to piss off the chef". The place wasn't even busy! I ordered the meat pie which was ice-cold in the middle, and for obvious reasons I did not trust sending it back to be reheated, well, because, "the chef does not want to be pissed off!" The server never asked how the food was nor did he notice that I wasn't eating, so I made a point to let him know that the pie was cold. He took it back and the aforementioned chef allegedly took the temperature and said that I should have eaten it because it was at the proper temp. This is impossible, since it was cold to begin with and had been sitting for an additional 20 minutes. Also worth mentioning: the men's room was filthy, giving me reason to believe the kitchen may also be filthy! Needless to say, we will never be back.

    Love this place! Went in on a Sunday mid morning to watch some football and have some breakfast. Lots of TVs of course, great selection and variety of beers, many local breweries too, and the staff makes you feel very comfortable there. Turns out, much better food than the standard Sports type bars. Yeah, you can get wings, nachos burgers and stuff like that but their take on making it takes them up a notch over typical sports grille faire. I had simply bacon, eggs, hash browns and toast. Boring right? Well, not exactly, they add a lot of flavor with nice details like chives on the scrambled eggs, peppers and onions in the potatoes etc. Wife had the eggs benedict. They used corned beef instead of ham or Canadian bacon like most do, jalapenos and added some other nice fresh ingredients. Later on during the afternoon games wife and I split a bowl full of steamers, was great. Josh the bartender was attentive, Tim from the kitchen even checked on us and Aaron and other staff (that I didn't catch names) all came around to make sure we were having a good experience. My Browns, lost...again and my fantasy team didn't do well but the was a great day here and a terrific experience. We will be back and would recommend.

    Ok so my first experience with this place was in the summer of 2012 all I could say was fail. It's been almost 2 years and was near and had about two hours to kill..read some positive reviws and said why not I heard they had redone the place and had new owners. Well I am glad I did. Beer selection is great had a few great choices for me and the wife as we are on opposite sides of the beer spectrum. Now the food. ..I would have say very interesting menu. I went for the black and blue burger. Is it good when the juices are running down your arm? Uhhh ya... Cooked to requested temp. Nice. The wife had their Nan bread Flatbread, pretty tasty also. I was not that impressed with the fried pickles.. but no doubt we will be back.

    We have been there a couple times since they opened. The atmosphere is great. the food is amazing! They have a chicken disk that it delicious. I have also had the prime rib which was huge and melted in my mouth. The last time I went I had the blackened chicken wrap and it was awesome. They have many sides from fruit to an amazing mac and cheese. The restaurant itself is clean and spacious. It's a sports bar/grill so there are nice largeTV's for watching the game there. Our waitress said they were adding more soon and opening a back room for parties. The wait staff are very personable. I believe our waitress's name was Denessa.?.? She was awesome. Our drinks were never empty and she was very pleasant. They have a lot of beers and ciders on tap which is great. Beers are craft types, but they have the normal old american beers too. We will be going back and hanging out and watching games and having dinner here.

    I live near by and visit often. I like the atmosphere. But the service really needs help. There is only one bartender at all times. For that size of place especially during happy hour. I think if they would add a bar back or another bartender this would help immensely. The wait time to get a beer or food is ridiculous.

    Have been going here since it opened. Large beer selection for him, daughter rates the Mac and cheese as a 10 1/2 (she uses HOB as the standard) and today I had the most delicious grilled portobello sandwich ever!!

    We came for the lunch special (half sandwich and side for $6). It was delicious!! I ordered the Blacked Chicken Wrap; the aioli and blackened chicken made this an exceptional wrap! The house mac n cheese was amazing as well. I can't wait to come back and try one of the many craft beers on draft! Would recommend this place to anyone at anytime!

    Great place, very nice and clean, friendly staff, amazing beer selection. BUT, they are SO slow. If you order a beer, it should be at your table in 2-3 minutes - not 8-10. And, if you run out of something - you should tell the table that immediately. They are consistently slow.... If you're a slow person - then you'll love this place.

    Went to the old version a few times, and it was not bad.... This NEW incarnation is SOOOOO much better. Great tap list, love that. Great food, love that. AND friendly prompt bar in my neighborhood vibe service. Highly recommended.

    This is pretty cool bar for beer lovers. There's a huge selection of drafts and to help you make a selection there are a couple of big screens showing what's on tap (most of them anyway). The information includes the name of the beer, the brewer, alcohol content and even a little icon that tells you how much is left in the keg. I have only had a couple of meals there but have no complaints about either. The only thing that kept me from giving this place the fifth star is the service form behind the bar. The guys that have served me in the past have acted like they would rather be someplace else. I can't say they were rude, just not friendly.

    Was driving down the road and noticed this place with a patio full of flat screen televisions. The goal - find a bar with good TVs to watch some Sunday football... Oh boy. What a treat?! Great TVs, high definition and excellent viewing angles. Perfect for your Sunday football fix. If you are into fantasy they have every game on in Hd on gorgeous new flat screens. The waitress was extremely attentive making sure that every low beer was followed by a prompt cold full beer. With the name House of Brews you would assume they would have a range of beers and that assumptions is correct. They have both a diverse selection of draft and bottle beers. Usually bars that have a lot of micro beers have a pretty decent menu and...drum roll please.. Legit. Legit menu. They have Lobster Rolls! Yes! I have been looking for a Lobster Roll in the Phoenix area for 5 years. The price point is good and the lobster roll has a decent amount of lobster meat with the right amount of seasoning and dressing. I know I said decent and generally that's associated with bad but the fact they had the hoagie roll toasted with fresh lobster prepared the right right way does it for me. If we lived by a body of water I would expect more but we don't so I will settle with fresh and tasty. My inner fat kid went on full assault with an order of the clam roll, clam chowder, burger, Mac and cheese and onion rings. Yes, yes and yes. 5 stars. Period. Great crunch, seasoned breading, thick juicy burger, creamy Mac and delicious chowder. I'm not from Boston but it reminds me of every visit when I'm there... I definitely recommend this place.

    Really, I would give this place 3.5 stars because there were things about our experience that were 5 stars and then things that we about a 2-3 star. Location for me is great, literally a 2 min drive from my house. We walked in and I kid you not, there were 16 TV's plastered all over this place...a sports lovers heaven! Problem is they only had on 1 game. Service was very friendly and attentive, for me 5 stars. The wait time for food was a bit much (25 minutes for burgers) and the burgers for me weren't that good. I ordered my Avocado Burger to be Medium and it came out very well done. It was dry and I didn't end up eating it all. However, the macaroni and cheese was a slam dunk..5 stars! My boyfriend and I couldn't get enough of it! The burgers came with their branding "HOB" on top, which I thought was a cool touch. Beers were also ice cold and had a variety to choose from...another sports lovers dream! I would return but not order a burger.

    Looks like there are a few people that had a negative experience here but my first experience the other night was a good one. The place has a neighborhood sports bar feel to it but lacks a little bit in terms of identity. There is a collection of Boston area sports memorabilia hanging in one spot but not much in the way of local team stuff. The TV's are plenty and unless you are ultra picky I don't understand how you could not watch what you want to see. The beer list is better than most and I had a coffee stout there that was excellent. I only sampled the Mac and Cheese there which is made with a smoked Gouda and happened to be one of the best I've had and the french dip which was excellent. A few of my buddies tried the steak and burger and were also very happy. The owners were involved and hooked us up with some additional sides after talking to them a bit which was very nice. I thought the prices were just fine but then again many people benchmark against the big chain restaurants which I refuse to support so I lack context there. I will certainly be back.

    Visited HOB for lunch this week to check out the new menu,ownership etc.. Love the new ambiance and vibe - the place is definitely on the up & up! Ordered the Spinach salad, it was very tasty, fresh chicken and avocado was delightful. They also have upcoming events and a boatload of big screens to watch ALL the games, not to mention the multitude of craft beers they have on draft... I'll be back for sure!

    I really wanted to like this place. My wife and I both had burgers. To quote the old Wendy's commercial; "Where's the beef??" The bun was 3-4 times larger than the burger! It was like they put a slider on a full-size hamburger bun. What a rip-off. Extremely disappointing. Needless to say, we won't be going back.

    Beers were great. Nachos not so much. I was a big fan of the HOB prior to it closing and reopening. Chris (our waiter) was very friendly, helpful and generally great. However the nachos left alot to be desired. There was both cheese sauce and cheese on them. Super weird. The steak was of much poorer quality than when I used to frequent House of Brews. I am hoping with was a 1 off bad experience. I plan on going back but next time ordering something different.

    $10 burgers?!? Their HH is $1 off beers, Yup! That is it. Get a better HH and maybe we will go back.

    The family and I along with a couple friends decided to try this place for a little variety. The experience was less than stellar. If I could give no stars I would. The Bad: Kids both wanted a cream soda (bottled) and when the waitress came back she informed us there was only one bottle left...really? It's soda for crying out loud. I decided to order a Kiltlifter (some special edition) and again....OUT! Now I'm slightly annoyed...Friday night, full house and by the way...also informed the kitchen is about 25 minutes "behind" so if we wanted to order an appetizer it would be best to put it in with our dinner order. Ok, whatever...we decided to order nachos. Nacho's came out STONE COLD, sent them back as they were inedible. The manager then came over (he was very nice, apologetic and again telling us the kitchen was "behind") apologized, offered to "buy us a round" (that didn't happen by the way even though we ordered a couple more rounds in the 2.5 hours we were there) and wanted to make sure we were "happy". Out comes nacho plate number 2, by the manager stating they were "fresh out of the oven". Not so much, again...STONE COLD ON cold plate. Ugh...didn't bother sending them back as it clearly was not going to do any good. So finally out comes dinner...everyone had yes you guessed it...cold food. By this time we just wanted to leave. So along comes the waitress, who is clearly annoyed and drops off the check....nachos included. Now one would think that if the manager came over, offered a round of drinks and apologized profusely about cold food and slow kitchen service that the nachos would have never made it to the bill. Needless to say we just paid and left...and will never return. Robert Irvine would be having a field day in this place! Total bill for a family of 4 for cold food and a couple beers: $78 (that included my barely deserved 15% tip (normally I go 20% all the way...not this time) The Good: 1. Apologetic manager that seemed sincere, but clearly didn't follow through with any amount of customer service. 2. At least the beer was cold. Save your money as there are plenty of other beer/sports bars with much better service and hot food. Can't believe this place had a full house!

    Holy cow...I really wanted to like this place, but the overall experience was bad. The food came out at room temperature/cold. The service took FOREVER! Our server kept telling us it would be out in a few seconds (both drinks and food). A few seconds turned out to be well over 30 minutes. I guess the bar was backed up and the bartender couldn't get to our drinks in a reasonable amount of time (iced tea, vanilla beer in a bottle and the cappuccino stout on tap). There was another booth next to us that hadn't even been greeted by their server...they were completely forgotten! With all the options of bars/restaurants in the area, I doubt we'll be back.

    I had driven past HOB several times and finally decided to give it a shot. I was amazed at how busy it was since it's in a shopping center that doesn't really have anything else going for it. I was impressed with how many good craft beers they had on their list, they even had hop slam which was hard to come by. You could tell the waitress had a huge workload but still provided good service and my glass was never empty. Tim, one of the managers, made his way by every table asking how the service was and if there was anything they could do better. They have a very diverse selection of food and the blackened chicken wrap I ordered did not disappoint. Ever since Boombozz switched to american tap house I have been looking for a new place. House of Brews is definitely it!

    Chef Tim's menu is knocking it out of the park. Not just bar food, but upscale bar food (without upscale prices), and full entrees as well. The smoked Gouda mac and cheese is to DIE for. Fried Tomato BLT was amazing. Great burgers, great portions - everything we've tried here has been a home run. And the Stout Bread Pudding? Fuggeddaboutit. Lots of TVs to capture all the games, and an extensive beer (draught) list that has something for everyone. We've had a great experience every time, and everyone we've recommended it to or brought along with us has LOVED it. I can't wait to go back! Tomorrow sounds perfect...

    Didn't plan on going there today, but a Bratwurst craving drove the car directly to the place. I ordered Mama's Little Brats off the appetizer menu. I wouldn't call this an appetizer for 1 or 2. It had 3 large brats sitting on a bed of the house kraut with onions and peppers. The brats were fantastic, lean with an excellent texture that went well with the spicy mustard. A+. The kraut was an issue for me, it's a house made kraut that didn't have the zing a good German , Jewish or Irish kraut possesses. Very mild. C+ No complaints at all about the service, kept the water glasses full, checked in appropriately to see if we needed anything, very friendly. A+ Let's chat briefly about dessert, I was a bit full for the bread pudding I wanted so I went with the house made Blueberry ice cream. For the price, the portion was great, but the ice cream itself was excellent and chocked full of fresh blueberries. A+. I will return to try a few other items that caught my eye. Henry

    I don't usually create reviews, but... Had lunch here for the first time and it was terrible. Asked for the burger to be cooked medium and received a well done burger. Tastes like rubber. Received our appetizer within 20 mins and the meal within 2 mins after the appetizer. Had to send back the appetizer. The waiter mixed up our meal with the other tables meal. I overheard her send back the sandwich we ordered. This place is not busy and there is no excuse for it. I am disappointed and will not return. I'm sure their doors will close if they don't change their business.

    Terrible. My "medium rare" burger was charred & tasted like it was cooked on a very dirty grill. The ruben did not have any sauce, and it should have something. The service was horrible. We had to flag down 2 other waiters because we couldn't find ours. To top it off, all 6 of us felt really bad the evening following our meal. I wouldn't eat here again. Their beer list is good, but there are enough beer bars in the area with good food that this one should be avoided. And it was HOT inside. Another couple even walked in and mentioned the heat and walked out. Just bad all the way around.
