House of Brews

We were in Dickson for dinner reservations at Lugo's next door for our anniversary and had some time to kill first. Being that it was a Friday night after a hard week (and a celebration!) we decided to hang out at House of Brews for a happy hour first. I tried a few of the beers--one on tap (a homestyle IPA) and a couple in cans, the best of which was a caramel machiatto stout which I loved (pictured here). My wife prefers cocktails and/or wine, so she had one of each. We also had the salted pretzel. Prices are very fair, the beer selection is enormous, and my wife appreciated the numerous cocktail, well drink, and wine options. I saw many tables dining on pizza and pub food that all looked terrific, so the next time we're here we'll have the entire meal here. Friendly service, free parking on the street, and an overall great atmosphere.

While walking back to the car after a business dinner, we saw this local bar and decided to give it a try for a drink before heading back to the hotel.The owner/manager (the guy behind the bar) was very friendly and helpful. He provided samples as needed. They offer some interesting drinks, brews and food... Much of their food is unique and so are many of their drinks.The place is very divey looking, but definitely has great appeal and is a place I could see visiting for a round of drinks, or more in the future. The food I tried, which was dessert, was amazing... I tried their fried Oreos and the batter was spot on... the ice cream it came with was a great match and outstanding!Prices are very good... and low here too! Definitely highly recommend this joint!

Been here a couple times already but never wrote a review until now. Been sorta craving a good burger and a Sam Adams recently and was in Dickson for the day, so I decided to stop by House of Brews with a friend for lunch. First time around, I had the Italian sandwich with tots, and second time here I got the mushroom burger also with tots. Both meals were pretty decent and filling, though it wouldn't be my first choice. Still worth the try whenever you're in downtown dickson though!

Friendly service, yet no vegan burger options. Or gluten free bread. Hard to eat there if you have alpha gal. The place is also too loud to talk in.

Stopped in for a late Friday dinner for take out. Wanted to support a local business while hone visiting family. Restaurant is more like a bar with food. Was packed solid and even more people arrived while waiting for my food. Honestly not my style of a place but if you like bars then ...So the food... orders garlic wings and a dude salad with no cheese but bacon bits. Wings were tasted but a bit fatty. Strangely they put the sauce on the side instead of on the wings. Salad was delicious but the bottom was filled with bacon bits. My sister ordered same meal but loved all the extra bacon bits. My mom ordered a burger - fried hard and too thin. Maybe I don't know a brioche bun because thus one looked like a regular hamburger bun. I will say my mom asked for no salt on her burger and tater tots and they accommodated. Depends on if you want to be in a crowded bar but as for me I'm heading to Buffalo Wild Wings next time.

The first rule of the House of Brews is if the waiter seeks a reminder of what you ordered two hours after you ordered, repeat it back to him carefully because he's high and he's forgot. He's not checking to find your order, he's entering it the first time. You won't get the right food if you don't take the time to reorder in full. He won't tell you he lost your order, because he's probably an addict and hoping you've had enough beers he can play it off with his cool hippie vibes - which are way so last century. Mostly you'll just want him to go away and find your order. He can't. That's why he's asking. And just as he forgot the order, you should forget the House of Brews too. This place is forgettable. The owner and his spouse seem more interested in talking to friends than running an establishment. The service is the most robotic, unfriendly, and unconscious I believe I've ever had. It's pubby, but everywhere in America does this same generic pub look, and honestly even Applebees has local beer. It doesn't even have a cool Dickson Downtown drawing point. It just exists and hopes you fall into the trap, like lemming over a cliff. The portions for appetizers are micro tapas style small. Be sure to order forks and plates when you order your appetizers because apparently that's an extra step for the server. When you ask it will clearly put them out that they have to provide what any other establishment would assume you need. My food was a disappointment - for a hamburger it was C- The bread was stale for sure, and it was the wrong type of bun. My friends all got wings. It's hard to screw up pouring sauce from a bottle over a small piece of chicken and shaking it - just be prepared to wait extra time for the dipping sauce to show up. Another significant amount of time. I'm pretty sure the House of Brews doesn't actually brew anything but sweet tea, so don't go in hoping to find a unique or interesting beer. If they have the brew, everyone else does too. I know some of you need me to say that because you come from sophisticated brew zones like Texas or Oklahoma, Georgia or New Mexico, and you'll want to go for the brews. Resist! Resist and turn back for all you will find here is disappointment.

Great little restaurant in downtown Dickson! We were seated immediately with 6 in our party and our waitress Christy/Kristi was awesome!!! Food was delicious and the beer selection is great. Nice place to bring your family or even a date. Plenty of parking nearby and something on the menu for everyone.

We all always love going! Great food and excellent service as well as comfortable seating.

Let me save you some time with the menu...Order the Jalapeño Burger patties seemed fresh and hand patted out.Pass on the soft pretzels and hand tossed pizza both seemed like standard frozen food.Atmosphere is good!

Great Food with good beer and atmosphere.I would recommend it to friends, family and all.Awesome Rueben's.
