Temperance Row Brewey / Uptown Deli and Brew

Cool little deli/ brewery operation in the downtown area. Walk through deli to bar along back right wall with see-through to brewhouse. Bar seats about 20 with some booths inside and a patio out back. Only 6 beers on tap, I enjoyed the 2 pistols ipa. I did not try the food. Parking can be a bit of a challenge.

To reach the brewery you walk through the Uptown Deli. They are co-located and have the same owner. The deli has terrific sandwiches which are available in the brewpub. The beers are brewed by the Godfather of central-Ohio Brewers, Scott Francis. No wild and crazy beers here, just really solid, well-made beers, mostly British styles. As a plus they typically have 4 - 6 beers on nitro.

Cool bar set up with actual access to the brewmaster. Very good food. Great seasonal back porch.

 

 

 

 

 

Very nice, new brewpub. Plenty of seating inside and out. Seven house beers on tap, and 20 bottles or so as well. Excellent service! Beers were all good or very good, although I have not tried the wheat. We had sandwiches, both of which were excellent, more than warranting the "Deli" in their place name.

 

V: In keeping with the idea that it's a brewery built dead center in the headquarters of the Prohibition Movement in Westerville, OH, it has pictures of famous prohibition personalities and bootleggers all over the wall.

Q: The quality of the beer they produce is fairly admirable. All sessionable, and all relatively flavorful. I had their new Summer Wheat seasonal yesterday, and was rather impressed. I was also amused to see bottles of Blue Moon going out to patrons.

S: General wait staff and the bar staff are friendly and knowledgeable.

S: Most of their taps are dedicated to their own brews, they have a few taps for other beers, and a decent bottle selection. Impressively enough, they have ~5 Nitro taps for their own brews as well, so you can get their IPA or Scottish ale on nitro.

F: They've got appetizers and sandwiches. Everything is nicely presented, fairly priced, and flavorful. Had their Smoked Salmon sandwich w/ house-made chips and an IPA, would definitely repeat that meal.

O: Their personal beer selection is pretty good and seasonally rotated (I saw Scottish, Pilsner, IPA, Pale, and Wheat on tap, both C02 and Nitro). Food is good, service is good, ambiance is good. Best part is they do growlers as well, so you can take their beer with you.
