“fun beer sampler, mediocre food”

Newton, Massachusetts

I enjoyed the 5-beer sampler (3 oz each), but my salmon was dry and the cauliflower was lousy. Desert was a mixed bag... lemon pie was not good, but the chocolate cake was a huge slice, and pretty tasty.

Atmosphere was very nice, and service was excellent. We had a large party (30+ people) and the room in the back handled the group wonderfully (could have held another dozen).

“Phenomenal White Rabbit”

Fantastic brewery for micro-brew lovers. 5-beer samplers, high alcohol content choices. The White Rabbit is phenomenal! Their pizzas are great as well, highly suggest the Vegetarian White Pizza with pepperoni. YUM.

Fun time. Great beer, the food is good. We had nachos and oversize pretzels. I was enjoying the "Naughty Nurse "Amber Ale. We went to the comedy club down stairs. The acts were great. My wife and I have been under a lot of stress and the comedy club was a great cure for that. Make sure you call ahead of time for the comedy club the shows do sell out.

“Terrific hand dryer”

City Steam is ok. The times my wife and I have been there, we've been seated in the upper balcony--up stairs to a third level. I don't know where handicapped or elderly people are seated. Waiting on tables must be a killer on the knees since the kitchen is on the third floor.

The menu is very limited. Given the place's ambience--nice wooden walls, filigree on the bannisters, etc.--one might expect a more sophisticated menu, but about the most sophisticated entree is meat loaf.

Good for families. Certainly not a place where one would go for a romantic meal--or a meal where one wanted to make an impression.

One other thing. The bathrooms--at least on the third floor--have the most efficient electric hand dryers I've ever used. It's a pleasure to use a hand dryer that actually works.
