Radicle Effect Brewerks

This was a nice laid-back place, more of a locals crowd. There were cool elaborate murals on the walls, and a separate game room in the back with pool and darts, lots of windows with natural light in the space. Corner bar was cozy with comfy bar stools. The brewhouse was visible through a window opposite from the bar. Taps were set into the wall, with bottle cap magnets decorating the door to the cold room behind the bar. They had 3 of their house beers on, a southern English brown, a grapefruit and lime blonde ale, and a dry oatmeal stout. All were good quality and the blonde and brown ales were surprisingly good, atypical for otherwise ho-hum styles. A 4th house beer had kicked the night before, an American black ale. Triptych Kellerbier was on tap, a relative rarity, and they had fresh cans of A Wizard Is Never Late. They also had Schlitz on tap and go through 2 kegs a week apparently. Service was great, the Saturday bartender was also the brewer I believe, so we chatted about beer with him, and got the lowdown on all the local spots. He really knew his stuff. Do yourself a favor and get some fried chicken from Mulkey's to-go, and bring it over to Radicle Effect for a beer or two. Overall we had a great experience here, and i'd happily return when in town again.

A good sized basic bar with a few rooms that are dark or very light. Service is awesome, with knowledgable and friendly staff. Funny thing, it is very hard to get their beer, smallest system I have seen, but they have a good tap list of others and lots of bottles. Prices are very good, especially if you hit a daily special. I was a traitor and had a famous Bloody Mary, absolutely killer. Oddest place, no brewed beer and awesome cocktails. Still a winner though.

Visited in late December, 2012. I wish they had been brewing!

I visited pretty late at night, which was fine. It wasn’t too busy. Dim lighting, some pool tables, and generally the place was clean, fresh, and new. No complaints, really.

We sat at a table, but when we went up to the bar our bartender was friendly, talkative, and able to speak intelligently about what was on tap. No complains there either! The selection was good, especially for the area... on par or above others in town. They don’t have a ton of taps, but they definitely had some interesting ones and a few I hadn’t had, which is always a bonus.

I’m rating this quite late, so I don’t remember the prices specifically, but I don’t remember being appalled.

Overall, make this a stop if you’re in the QC. You’ll probably find a few interesting beers, especially once they start brewing. Back when he was a brewer at Bent, he was doing a great job!
