Battle & Brew

I've been to Battle & Brew twice.  Once just to play and once for my birthday.  They treated me to a great birthday, giving me a free birthday brew and chatting it up at the bar.  I feel like this is a judgement-free zone, without the attitudes that you'll find in other bars.  My only complaint about this place is that they don't realize their full potential.  They've recently started hosting more themed events, but I would like to see them have even more and maybe include some tabletop games that can be checked out and played while drinking/eating.

video games and cool people?! epic.

I've been to Battle and Brew twice now for trivia.  The first time I went for Anime trivia, I got lucky and was able to park in the lot.  This second go round for Harry Potter trivia, not so lucky as we had to park down the street at this elementary school and walk to the bar(but it's a short safe walk).  It'd be really nice if they expanded the parking lot but where this shopping center is located... it's not very likely.

The establishment isn't very big, and isn't meant for large crowds, but with a popular theme such as Harry Potter trivia, it's going to draw a large crowd.  So as soon as we walked into the bar we saw no where to sit.  You can make reservations, but do so early.  Luckily my friend and I found two empty computer chairs and sat by the table in the middle of the floor.  

We did not enjoy the food the last time we were there (as everything fried tasted like....bacon) so steered clear of ordering anything, but halfway through trivia I was starving so I ordered chips and salsa (how bad could that be).  It was just ya regular ol' stuff you can get at the store so I devoured them and continued losing in trivia... we did awful...

Overall, service was as good as it could be on a rainy crowded crazy trivia night (trying to get a bartenders attention when you can barely reach the bar).  Canned sodas are cool for those that aren't drinking.  And the atmospere is just fun, with crazy youtube videos being played and ridiculously hard trivia questions.  It may not sound fun, but for the otaku/ geek at heart, it is!!!  I'll def be back, and hopefully tryout that rockband stage!!!
