In BR Tuesday evening

I've heard Corporate Draft and Brew is great, but I haven't been personally.

Chimes gives you the best combo of beer/food in one place.

Corporate Brew & Draft... but they don't have food.

Chimes is still a good option.

Bulldog isn't a bad spot either.

corporate brew but beware the parking lot has jasons deli salad bar shite everywhere.

I thought Corporate was selling hot dogs or sausages. I've never bought food from there. I do know the bartenders don't give a shite if you bring in stuff from Albasha and eat it there.
I don't know what Tom has against food. Corporate ought to sell burgers, fancy sausages, grilled chicken, club sandwiches, etc.

He might as well just let me come over and burn his money if he is going to do add a full menu to the place. People are going there to drink beer, not eat club sandwiches

Dont they have some resemblance of a kitchen on the back side.

i usually do the eat thing and then go get drinks at the bar. i can only stuff my face for so long at chimes before i have to get up and leave

And people like me are not going there because I can't eat a club sandwich.

I don't get the impression that you are a patron at many dedicated bars, B. I could be mistaken, but it seems like most of your beers are at home, with people, or with a meal.

CBD is practically right across the street from my office, yet I rarely go. It's not because they don't have great beer. It's because I can't put any food in my belly there. Yet, I'll drive to Chimes at least once a week for lunch and beers. So they get a whole lot more of my money.

Look at what Polly is doing to step up the food game at Avenue. People are starting to figure out that food is at least somewhat important in making a decision on where to go, given that there are now so many options with good craft beer.

but a small limited menu could only help bring in others who arent complete beer enthusiasts.

or it could be just throwing money down the drain. with a menu a number of things need to happen i would imagine.


-build a kitchen and/or modify the building to house kitchen equipment and all the food and supplies. i have no idea how much this will cost. any ideas?
-hire someone to make the menu and cook the food. i would imagine more than 1 person would be required.
-spend money on advertising that they now have said menu
-get people there to eat their food


it would take a lot to take someone from going to the chimes to go to cbd with their limited menu. the amount of people that would pick cbd because their beer menu is better and still be ok with a limited menu is probably very small.
