Enjoyed a great steak and some great local beers. Sampler was a good choice as well. It was a nice opportunity to spend more time at the Pearl St. Mall area and take in a good meal.

I walked into Absinthe House for lunch, and nobody was working. I was in there for about 3 minutes. The guy at the bar in the dance area looked at me, didn't acknowledge I existed, so I walked out and went to WALNUT BREWERY! The place was HOPPING! It must have been an after-work crowd. Many were dressed-well, and had... More

Following reviews from other tripadvisors i gave it a try and i can say it was worth to go. You stop by go for a sirloin steak and take the 'bourbgonzola' (at least sounded like this) you won't regret ;)

If you enjoy a great micro brew now and then give them a try. The food is good too. (;o) The wait staff does a first rate job.

The Walnut microbrewery just has that little extra zinggg to it. Although the menu is not too far off what other places in the US will serve for lunch and dinner; the experience of being there was just such fun, that we will remember it very fondly. Good value for money in a fun place - life's too short anyway;... More

My favorite is still the alder smoked salmon fish and chips. I have a hard time ordering anything else, but when I do, it is always good.

This is an upscale brewery where you can't go wrong. Great food whether you're going for a salad, burger, one of the specials or drinks and appetizers. It's a little loud, but get a booth in the back to make that better. Enjoy a beer, the selection is good. Just note, if you're a vegetarian, your options will be limited... More

I have visited Walnut Brewery about 8 times over the pas two years. It is convenient to go with large groups. Other than that, there isn't much to say. The food is average. It is probably healthier than say Applebees, but I would compare it to that. Nothing memorable or special. If anything it seems a bit worse each time... More
