This is much more of a mainstream restaurant than the Nimbus Brewing Company brewpub lcoation. If that's OK with you, then this is a fine place to dine and taste some beers. For me, I prefer the pub setting, especially when I was by myself. The beer didn't taste as fresh as at the brewery either.

A group of 5 of us came here for lunch during a training class. We had an hour to eat & asked if it was possible. We were told there was a 25 minute ticket time so we ordered. It took us 45-50 minutes to get our food. We ended up taking it to go. I ordered the burger (medium)... More

Came here with my family for wings and beer. We were pleasantly surprised at the charming atmosphere and good service. The fried pickles were awesome and my nephew is now a fan! My mother ordered a reuben, which she enjoyed. My nephew and I ordered mild and hot wings and enjoyed both. The food arrived hot and in a timely... More

I was in town for work/vacation & my friend & I wanted to go someplace for dinner that wasn't a chain. When we realized Nimbus was close to our hotel, we were on it. The only thing that was a slight downer was the wait - we were there on St. Patrick's Day & surprisingly, the place was pretty quiet.... More

The Sweet Potato Fries are wonderful! I had chicken avocado pizza (took home half) and my husband had the Cubano sandwich-both were very good. And, of course the beer was good. Not too busy around 3 in the afternoon, so had great service. Understand they have a pretty good happy hour going, but we were a little too early to... More

We usually go for local breweries and decided to try this one. The plates were large (we took home probably half). We ordered 2 appetizers and 2 entrees. We tried several of their beers and were pleased with all of them.

We were thirsty and hungry after hiking to Fort Bowie. Nimbus satisfied the thirst, but not the hunger. The brews on offer are top notch, although I was surprised, given the current trend, that no really hoppy IPA was available on tap. The food was typical pub grub, but I mistakenly ordered a "16 ounce porterhouse" which the server enthusiastically... More

Visited Nimbus with a large family group over the holidays. The service was great, the drinks and appetizers came out in a good amount of time and the meals met and exceeded expectations. Loved the skinny cosmo, love the spinach dip and the salads and sandwiches were perfect. Highly recommend!

Had a Groupon Coupon so trecked way to the East side (we live way west). Pizza and beer. Great combo. Had 2 small (7") pizza's. Were great. Crust was superb. Had a couple of the Nimbus beers. Good, but have had better. Overall, very nice. Waiter was right on with service.

Nimbus is a good place for a quick meal, no frills, good beers. It's a peppy place with a wide ranging beer menu. The burgers, fries, onion rings, calamari were all good. Not spectacular, but quite acceptable. We noticed later on that beer flights are possible, which would have added more interest to the experience. Too bad our waiter didn't... More
