Unique Beer Bars

In Ohio there is a hotel that’s also a brewery. I think some rooms have windows that view the brewery. Haven't been there just read about it back when it was going to open.

 

First place around here that came to mind is the Pine Box, which used to be a funeral home and chapel and still has a lot of the original decor, stained-glass windows etc.—some interesting facts on their website (scroll down). I believe Fremont Brewing first started brewing the Rusty Nail as some kind of collaboration with them, but I could be making that up.

 

NewSylum Brewing out of Newtown CT is located inside an old psychiatric hospital that was operating from the 1930s to the 1990s. It’s quite the interesting place. I’ve only been once and wasn’t super impressed but I’d stop in again if I was in the area

 

We've got a place here that's a cafe, beer bar, and bike repair shop: https://www.cafe-velo.cc/

 

I suppose you mean this label? (and a sneak peek inside my beer fridge)

 

Kunisawa in Tokyo is a brewery / stationery / "bespoke printing" business.

 

I have lots of favorite beer bars in NE - Novare Res in Portland ME, 3 Penny in Montpelier, Black Back in Waterbury - Armsby in Worcester - but the Nook in Huntsville Al was the first place that came to mind when I saw this thread. Big tap and bottle list. Always have JW Lees Harvest Ale …. on tap - which automatically puts them in my all time top five.

 

I'm in the Quad Cities every summer. I need to check this place out. Speaking of beer and bikes Crawford in Bettendorf is a taproom next to a bicycle shop in a... sort of similar scenario (the two facilities occupy half of the same building).

 

Sounds a lot like El Bait Shop in Des Moines. They claim the largest craft beer selection west of the Mississippi, with 250+ beers on tap. I stopped in there in August, but I forgot to check whether they actually sold bait.

That wouldn't be BrewDog in Canal Winchester, would it?

 

Yes, I that is it. Been there?

 

I've been there three times. Here's a link to my reviews for the first two visits. https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/47860/?view=ratings

Since those two visits the hotel has been constructed and that created my third visit last spring. I didn't write another review for that visit. It's interesting to go there and stay a night or two. You get a coupon during check-in for a complimentary beer, plus another beer-and-cookies event in the evening. Then there are more beers in your room in the honor bar, plus a cooler that holds 8-10 beers is built into the bathroom wall next to the shower so that you can enjoy a shower beer as part of your visit. It's a place that every beer lover should experience.

 

Speaking of Des Moines, IA ~ The High Life Lounge is one everybody needs to experience & that I always considered to be unique

 

The spotty dog in Hudson NY. Bookstore with a small bar. I was there pre covid and it was a cool place to grab a few beers and check out the books. The tap list was nice and had a lot of local beers, was the first time I ever saw a cider with hops.

Barcade in Philly, never been and not even sure it’s still around. As the name implies, a bar and arcade in one.

Enjoy

 

No. Not a BrewDog fan.

 

I just looked this up.

 

Sergio World Beer in Louisville, KY.

I've never seen anything like it. Dozens of upright fridges where each country has a fridge or fridges of its own. There's no way that it's all legally imported. It's like a beer museum (and plenty of the content has little enjoyment value outside the museum model!).

Bonus, if the owner (the eponymous Sergio) is there you can be treated to some truly astonishing global bet culture stories from a guy that seems like the Forest Gump of craft beer.

It's a classic beer weirdo bar
