I love the WAB. My favorites are the vanilla porter, raspberry blonde and ruby lager. The atmosphere is great. Food is great.

I’m honestly surprised by the low reviews for The WAB. I visited for my first time during lunch on a friday afternoon, and I really enjoyed myself. The beer is decent, and the bartenders were very friendly. The food was EXCELLENT. I love the decor, but I didn’t like that you have to walk upstairs for the bar. I’m sure I’ll visit again.

In town for the weekend told I had to check this place out. Wish I didn’t. Big open spaces huge, bar, sport centric but in general pretty plain. The tables are annoying because the chairs have super low backs making them hard to sit in. The food was good bar food, above average. The brews suck. They are all generic watery and boring. They have no clue what they are doing. These beers are clearly tailored to drinkers who don’t know much. Its a slight step above a macro brew and that’s who they cater too. About 8 beers by them, 2 guest taps. Avoid this place.

Very hip 35-45 yr old crowed - kind of interesting. When I visited they had great live music the place was pretty happening. The beer is average. Simple styles for the most part. Food is good - salads and sandwiches -- including loose meat sandwiches. Worth a quick stop if you are nearby. Great service.

the only thing that sucks is the beer. oh, and the food. i don’t go there often, but every time i do i see people i know. if you’re looking for a decent drink, go elsewhwere, but if you just want a comfortable bar with interesting regulars, stop on in. oh, and the patio is nice, seasonally.

3 levels overlooking woodward avenue...vanilla porter was very good...only tried one other one and it was ok.

Kind of a restaurant/bar that makes their own beers more than anything. More people are drinking liquor, mixed drinks, and beers out of bottle than the brews. Nothing wrong with that, but surprising out of a brewery. Couple beers that I had were very solid, especially the vanilla porter.

I can’t stop coming here for the vanilla porter. Then I stay for the thai wrap or the avocado turkey sandwich. And another vanilla porter. Yum.

Atmosphere is far better than the beer, and that is not saying much. Hip, trendy location. A few taps. Beer is drinkable at best. No reason for me to return. There’s nothing that sets this place apart. Did I mention the beer is nothing special.

I really like this place because you can sit outside. The food has a southwestern feel (lots of corn) and is pretty decent. The beer was alright...nothing special, but certainly drinkable. It’s pretty hip and gets a good weekend after dinner crowd.
