(Originally rated in 2005 - re-rated to add the "Food" category and up a few points here and there, having re-visited recently). Interesting layout, lots of levels... 14 of their beers were on, which gave them enough of a selection that I couldn’t drink all of the beers that I wanted to try. The service was highly attentive and quite welcoming, both of the managers on duty heard from a couple of the servers that I was interested in knowing about the beers, and asked politely about my rating notebook. I told them about Ratebeer and they said they knew of it, and after chatting with me briefly about the beers I was having, went and got me a few samples including the Barleywine, which was appreciated. The food was pretty respectable, basic brewpub fare, but good. Music was fairly annoying unless you like the greatest hits of the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and today! Overall the beers and the service made this a pleasant experience, though, we were easily able to kill 2 1/2 hours+.

Been here maybe 4 times in my years in Kansas. Its a good brewpub, maybe only second best to Free State. Unfortunately, no one in KC is willing to drive out there and pass Free State. The place reminds me of a large hunting lodge with many different levels and a bit of a Miami Beach character. Its interesting. Beers are always solid, never a dud but few spectacular beers. Menu is large with standard pub fare. Service is good. I recommend a visit but after going to Free State first.

Never had a bad visit to this establishment. Always new beers to try! Food and service are always very good. The time I sat at the bar I was rewarded with some nice samples. Well worth the visit.

Large place but prompt friendly service. Nice selection on tap, but regular selections and seasonals. Food was good and hot.

16 beers on tap and was impressed with all I tried. Cheap prices and good food. Bartender gave me samples without asking. Oh and Top Gun plays on a loop. Lots of seating

The food and service at the blind tiger are top-notch. Occasionally the bar gets busy and it take a while to get beer, but otherwise the place is pretty good about service. Great variety of brews, including a smoked ale (not my bag, but I’ve got friends that LOVE it) three IPAs, and many other interesting brews. I try to visit a couple times a year and refill the growler with something I have yet to tried. First class place.

I hit this place for dinner every time I am in Topeka. Pretty good selection of their own beer. Very good quality of beer. As far as the food goes, my suggestion would be to go with the BBQ. I have tried other things on the menu, and wasn’t too impressed. The pulled pork and smoked sausage are outstanding!

Nice selection wasnt to impressed with the food waitress was very knowlegable about beer selection liked everything i tired flight totaled 8 beers would recommend making a special trip for beer to go.

OK brewpub atmosphere that is more Midwest steakhouse than anything else. They usually have a large number of things on tap, but wheat beers make up a larger than usual percentage. But what do you expect, you’re in Kansas!

The Blind Tiger in Topeka is a very decent brewpub/micro brew. The beer is consistent, though somewhat limited. For example, when I went last there was the Raw Wheat, the County Seat Wheat, the Raspberry Wheat, and the Honey Wheat - all variations of the same basic beer. Food is your basic bar food - the steaks and burgers are arguably among the best in Topeka, especially for the price. Overall one of the state’s best brewpubs.
