Starr Hill Brewpub

We stopped by Starr Hill because I saw they were doing free Christmas cookie decorating, and we figured it was a great reason to try this place out. The brewpub is located (indoors) beside Capitol One Hall. We were able to find free 2 hour parking in a lot nearby on a Saturday. They have two floors, so the day we went they were doing cookie decorating on the second floor and the first floor was being used as normal. After we decorated our cookies, we got a table on the first floor to grab some food and drink. They were very busy, but we were able to get a table in less than 10 minutes. We both got the hot buttered rum drinks, and they were one of the best drinks I have had. We then shared an order of cheese fries which were cheesy and delicious, and had a good amount of toppings. I really enjoyed our visit here and will definitely be back!

Stayed at the Watermark Hotel in the same building so had to check out the new (to me) brewpub. It was pretty slow when I stopped in but the bartender was welcoming and attentive. The space is catered more to the office crowd being a good spot for lunch or an after-work happy hour.The beer was exactly what I expect from Starr Hill: decent but nothing to write home about. The food, however really let me down. It was overall really bland. The cauliflower had basically no seasoning and was just a basic flour dredge. The aioli was the saving grace for that.The pretzel was an all around disappointment. You won't convince me the "cheese" was just watered down Velveeta and the mustard was just the basic, fast food yellow kind. The pretzel itself was just a brioche bun in the shape of a pretzel. If you busted that out at an Oktoberfest you'd get your lederhosen card revoked.Go for the beer and to hang with people. Skip the overpriced fair food.

For a joint team happy hour, we went to Starr Hill Brewpub last week since it was way too hot to enjoy anything at the Biergarten. The service was quick and we got our drinks and food super quickly.I got to try a couple drinks! The ESPRESSO MARTINI was way too sweet, so I didn't really enjoy it. The PINEAPPLE CRUSH was perfect for me -- not too sweet, incredibly fruity and carbonated. Drinks are pretty strong here!We all got a bunch of appetizers and the ones I got to try was not bad. The CHICKEN WINGS were a bit dry but the blue cheese dressing helped. CHICKEN TENDERS with the honey mustard sauce was quite good. The NACHOS were a bit underwhelming, but it had a good amount of cheese and toppings. The HUMMUS PLATTER was alright, nothing special. I am not a huge fan of pickles, but our group really liked the FRIED PICKLES and we got several orders of it.For lunch, I ordered the SURF AND TURF, which is marinated flank steak drizzled with a mushroom based sauce. There is also a generous serving of mac and cheese in between the steak and the jumbo lump crab cake. I thought the steak was fine itself, and not a fan of the mushroom sauce which was way too salty. Also did not like the portobellos that were stir-fried with the steak since they had a weird flavor. I enjoyed the mac and cheese because it wasn't too salty. I was not a fan of the crab cake and didn't enjoy the seasoning or flavor.Overall, the food was just OK. Their drinks are better for sure. Everything here is pretty expensive. Service was good!

Live music is great but if it's so loud that you can't have a conversation without shouting at your table then it's not really pleasant. Also the cheeseburger while it looked great in terms of presentation had almost no flavor. Somehow forgot to even put in salt I guess. I think overall the brewpub is a great addition to the area and the service was incredibly quick for both food and drinks. I just have to go back sometime on a weekend instead of a weeknight to see if it gets better,

The Biergarten rooftop and outdoor bar area are so fun, especially with live music. It's a great vibe. When we came, it was drizzling and there were no seats in the roofed area. We ate inside at the Starr Hill Brewpub (party of 16). Service was nice but extremely slow- like, bringing 1 water at a time for a party of 16. It took at least 30 minutes to put our food order in, but once it was in, food came out fast. Food was comparable to mediocre ball park food. The steak sandwich and fried chicken sandwiches were dry. The best thing I tried that night were the nachos- delicious. I ordered the fish and chips and enjoyed. Not sure if I'll come back to the Brewpub again, but I'll come back to the Biergarten for sure!!

This review is for the main street level bar/ restaurant area. Its right next door to the Cap One Theater, so a good place to grab a bite to eat before the show. The dining area isn't that large, but luckily not super crowded when we went. Our server was quite attentive and friendly during the meal. We ordered the fried chicken salad and the sliders to split, and its was more than enough food for the both of us. Both were well made and flavorful, but not necessarily crave-able food. The available drinks were also limited- they were out of several on draft when we went which was disappointing. Overall a good meal and place to eat before a show.

Amazing food! The place is so nice to be outside and listen to live music. It has really cute games to play as well as an area to walk around. Great service and perfect for date night.

Love this spot! We hosted a team dinner here this winter before a show at Capital One Hall and it was so fun! The crabcake sandwich was fantastic and the desserts were delicious! They have upbeat music and lots of events. Also a great private event venue with the upstairs area. I can't wait to return.

Food: The food was great! No complaints at all. Our burger and sandwich had a fresh flavor and were juicy. Service:Our server was fantastic. She was kind, personable, and quick. Atmosphere:The restaurant has a great atmosphere and a lively bar. The restaurant had modern decor. Overall it was great! Would recommend.

Tonight I went to Starr Hill Brewpub to hear friends who were playing in a band there that night. The place itself is clean and nice, the wait staff was great, and the food and drinks were also great. I DO have to complain about the bouncer who I feel was not doing his job. He was basically sitting by the front door looking at his phone. There was a very drunk woman patron there who kept going up by the stage with a full glass of beer and sloshing it up near the stage and their equipment. The first time it happened, we notified the bouncer who went up to her and told her she needed to keep her full glass of beer at the table, if she wanted to dance. This same thing happened again a 2nd time and she was asked to keep her full beer at her table and away from the stage. The third incident is that she goes up on stage dancing among the band members while they are trying to play with her full beer in hand dancing. This was totally inappropriate and the bouncer came up on stage and brought her off the stage. At this point, I totally feel like the appropriate action for the bouncer would have been to ask her to leave the restaurant at this point, but of course he didn't. 4th incident and this drunk woman again is going up on stage with the band while they are trying to play with her full beer. I don't know if that bouncer was paying attention at this point, as my female friend at this point grabbed her by the arm to take her off the stage. Where is the bouncer at this point? Why is he not doing his job? This was the 4th incident. How many incidents do we need to have before she is asked to leave? It was getting crazy at this point. When we asked the bouncer why he wasn't doing his job and telling her to leave at this point, his answer was that he was the only one bouncer. How many bouncers does it take to ask this drunk woman to leave? It was totally unacceptable and a huge disappointment. This bouncer looked like he was probably a former body builder also, so it was not like the drunk woman was physically bigger or stronger than him. This bouncer was totally not doing the job he was hired to do there.
