Oddwood Ales

 

 

Cool, cute, laid back spot. Less industrial warehouse feel than I have grown to expect out here—so refreshing—from the quirky artwork to the ‘mancave’ feel of the interior. Patio seating too, a major plus these days.

 

 

 

Oddwood Ales is a very cozy and relaxed local bar with great pilsner & funky farmhouse offerings. Free arcade games & good pizza make it a must-visit!

 

Great little place with a wonderful atmosphere (plenty of free video games to entertain the kids) and great food. Their pizza rivals Pinthouse or ABGB and the stromboli is excellent. Beers are excellent and continuing to improve.

i was really stoked to check these guys out, expecting a mostly wild and wood aged brewery, but they seem to be a bit too new to have much of that kind of thing ready to go yet. the list was a little underwhelming when we were in, just a handful of beers on tap and nothing fully wild, a couple of blended brews, an apricot saison, a pale, nothing really super well refined yet, but the dudes behind the bar assured us they were coming. still, even in their infancy, its a cool place to check out, they have done an awesome job with the space. a neat room, like an old house almost, with some cool old arcade games around, lots of wood features, sort of modern rustic, a cool front like sitting room with old video games on the television, a recessed sitting area that was showing world cup games on a projection, and the small bar in back, very cozy even with their decent capacity. i saw a lot of barrels in the back but none of those beers were ready. i enjoyed a hoppy beer and saison blend, and had a decent apricot saison and pale, but nothing really blew me away yet. fortunately all of the foundations are there for future success, and i cant imagine it will be long before these guys are totally killing it and making a name for themselves. the dudes working were intelligent and nice, and we had a great conversation with them as we sipped our beers, they seem as excited as everyone else in the place for the beers coming up. i wish i lived closer, this will be a fun one to watch as they progress. nice looking food menu too, but that will have to wait for next time as well...
