Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant

good spot. This is a great restaurant in the heart of downtown. Im always surprised how full the bar is even though it is not street level. The bar service is top notch and notice most if not all of them have been there since we have been visiting. We are always welcomed with a smile and they really go out of the way to make us feel like a "friend." The drinks are great prices during happy hour a little expensive when off, but i guess thats downtown pricing. The food is good not great however not the reason we go. We go for the beer, cheap snacks, and great service.…

great drinks.... watch out for food. My wife and I went there for happy hour. Drinks were very good and reasonably priced. Spring rolls tasted heavenly. Unfortunately we both had severe issues with our stomachs the same night. (BTW, We did not eat anything esle anywhere else that night). We called the restaurant next morning and received an apology. (just an apology, nothing else).…

Lots of Beer means Lots of People. This place gets packed because of location and beer. There is a wide selection of beer, and the cocktails are worth trying. The service is very busy but friendly. The fried artichoke hearts are sweet and much better than the calamari which is scrawny. The entree selection is very small. Do not choose the pasta, unless you don't mind "pasta out of the freezer bag." The hamburgers are the way to go, and the BBQ burger was alright. If you want good American food, without ambiance, then you'll be better off at Johnny Rockets across the mall.

The arrangement is inviting for large groups taking a shopping break, and can get pretty loud.

Don't expect much from the food. Just expect a large selection of beer. It is a "mall restaurant" so many people come here for the combination of convenience and beer -- not the food.…

Great pub joint. I've never had anything I didn't like; however, getting in and seated is typically impossible on a weekend evening so I don't get to go as often as I like. They have a good variety on tap and classic bar foods to complement. Service is great, more similar to a fancy restaurant. Prices are equivalent to what you're getting in ambience, food and service. I would recommend this place for all different occasions: dates, groups, families, happy hour. It's a fun place and right by theatres and shopping so very easy to pop in - when there's not a huge line!…
