Blackstar BrewPub

This is a cool building with a wide variety of seating from cozy rooms with sofas, comfy booths, tables, a giant TV area, and a bar overlooking the park. There are windows everyyyyyyyywhere, which is fantastic because the place is surrounded by other cool buildings and nice views.It was our first time there, and yes, it is self-service for food and you have to go to one of the bars for a drink. The place is massive, people, I couldn't imagine staffing that sucker with a hostess and more servers trying to figure out where you want to sit out of all of the options they have. I liked the "choose your own adventure" feel. When you enter, there is a sign that says "First rodeo?! Grab a menu and order via code or at the bar...etc" It's not that hard.We toured all of the areas and decided to sit on the smaller bar patio overlooking the park. We were greeted quickly by the bartender and the food showed up fast. The views were amazing. It seemed very dog and kid friendly as well. There is a water station by the bar as well.For beverage, we chose the West Coast IPA. Jerimiah Johnson Brewery is inside. My husband is quite the connoisseur of beers and he loved it. It was smooth and refreshing. They also had a hazy, Oktoberfest, hazy pale, sodas, and several other options. The menu was simple but had some fun different items. We tried the fries and pesto pizza. The fries came in a smaller bowl than most for apps, but they were also $5, so order two or more if you have a crew like we do. The pesto pizza was great. Can't speak to much else on the menu, but it all looked pretty good.Great atmosphere, nice staff, quick food, pet and kid friendly and unique seating options. Will 10/10 be back. Thanks!

Self service. Scan the QR code to order. The employees who dropped off the food were nice. I like the big sports tv. Someone online highly recommended the white pizza. I tried it and it was mid. The food was ok. You really pay for the atmosphere.

Visiting from out of town so was not aware that it was self service. Can't tell by how the place is set up. Spacious with high ceilings. It was not crowded when we came so can't tell about the noise level. Salad was good. Seems like my friends enjoyed their burgers.
