Destination for crisp European-style lagers with a stylish multi-level space; beer shines, food is mixed, QR ordering and a mandatory service fee divide opinions.
Halfway Crooks Beer delivers solid brewpub quality anchored by exceptional lager execution and precise pours paired with distinctive multi-level design and rooftop appeal. However, inconsistent food execution—particularly burgers and fries—alongside variable service attention and a mandatory 21% service fee prevent grade A territory. The experience works well for beer-focused visits but lacks the all-around polish of top-tier neighborhood destinations.
One caveat: Mandatory 21% service fee cited repeatedly; some also see additional tip prompts
