Fodor's Expert Review College Street Brewhouse

Although it's in a somewhat industrial area a short drive north of downtown, this lively, high-ceilinged restaurant and microbrewery with an enormous patio enjoys nice views of the lake. The craft beers, especially the crisp but balanced IPA and refreshing unfiltered American wheat, are reason alone to stop by, but the kitchen also turns out consistent comfort food including hefty sandwiches, pizzas, and Cajun-influenced dishes. Service can be uneven.
