New Beer's Resolution

Hawthornes Beer Boutique Opens

It’s nice to kick back with a bottle in the comfort of your living room. But trouble arises when you start doing it frequently. In your pajamas. At noon.

Get off the lonely tip with today’s opening of Hawthornes beer boutique.

The new bottle shop, market, and deli has all the comforts of home, including a welcoming neighborhood vibe and wood-burning fireplace.

The real draw’s the beer: sixteen craft-brewed draft selections (available in growlers) plus hard-to-find bottles like Founders Kentucky Breakfast, Bruery Levuds Batch 1, and Russian River Temptation. Gourmet soups, panini, and a weekend brunch with omelets and creamed chipped beef will help line your belly.

Sticking to local purveyors’ goods like Claudio’s cheese, Carangi Bakery bread, and One Village Coffee may, of course, be the first of many steps.

Like, say, twelve.

we tried this place late one sat afternoon- i ordered an entree- the main component of which was apparently out of stock in their kitchen- the waitress never told me and served me basically pita- they agreed to make me something else- after my husband had to go locate the waitress and inform her of the error- then after he completely finished his meal- i finally received mine- totally covered in sour cream- the item did not list sour cream as a component on the menu and was clearly made in error- again no waitstaff to be found. when the waitress finally returned she informed me we would have to pay for the sour cream laden disaster- it was just awful- totally terrible service, i never got to eat anything- no one apologized- the manager told me my husband in total sarcasm he "was glad he enjoyed his meal" after i complained about mine. the people who run this place have no idea what good service is so it doesnt matter how the food is. i would strongly discourage anyone from going there unless they re-staff the whole place.
