I've been here a couple times, but never was compelled to add it to BA, as it's more "average chain restaurant" than beer destination. Their house beer is likely just a rebranded ale from Two Brothers or similar contract brewer. Currently they have a small selection of local craft beers from Alter, FFF, Ravinia, Tighthead, and a few others, but the overall selection still skews macro. Better options in the area now, like Kuma's, Beerhead, etc.
Notes from my last visit: The beer selection is slightly improved but still 2/3 macro. Alter, Miskatonic, Rev, Daisy Cutter, Bells and Rev on draft. Beer can chicken was a huge portion, but over salted. Service was limited to drink/food order and serving the food, delivering the check. Didn't really interact much.
First visit from old notes:
Stonewood feels like your typical chain restaurant, with some assorted retro beer decorations. The layout of the dining area was identical to Ted's Montana Grill, maybe it came out of the same catalog.
The island bar in the center is flanked by a dozen flatscreen tv's. 32 taps, but wait, only 16 beers. Of those, maybe 3 qualify as craft. Bells Brown, Goose IPA, and Franziskaner. Open the drinks menu booklet, and the bartender has to flip through the 20 odd pages to find the beers amidst the shots, margaritas, daily specials and general clutter.
50 bottles, 5 craft beers. Two Hearted yes, but not much else besides a couple Sam Smiths and Sam Adams. If your family/football buddies/business outing brings you here, you can survive, but no self-respecting beer geek would seek out this place for the selection.
