Over all a good experience, the beer is good and the snack s we had was on point. They had a bingo night when I was there and won a Cousy and a 5$ gift for next visit.
We've had two great experiences at Metal Works Brewing Company. My husband considers himself a flatbread connoisseur, and he was delighted with this flatbread (and the fries). The first time our server was very friendly and knowledgeable, and the second time our server got the chef, who was incredibly kind, patient, attentive, and knowledgeable. Both of our visits were when it was not busy (no football games & not regular meal times), and of course I'd not expect this kind of service when it was busy, but I'd really not expect this kind of service ever, so it was quite lovely. I am vegan and my husband is not. Neither of us drink alcohol, so we discovered this place during the Vegan Chef Challenge a few months ago. The vegan selections were delicious to us both, and the chef said that the vegan entree will be coming back regularly soon (I'd recommend calling first if you're going at a busy time, unless it's back on the online menu, of course). They do always have one or two vegan soups and the menu says substitutions are possible. The vibe was good, and I do want to return with a group and play games or hold a book group meeting. I also like the metalwork and wood decorations. Oh, the chef made me a vegan entree (and we both had vegan aioli with fries), and it was delicious. It had vegan chipotle and toast and avocado and lots of other things. I can't stress enough what a kind person the chef is. And we loved what we ate. We even had leftovers, which is always my goal (but we still ate too much first), and they were delicious too. This place is quite affordable compared to other places I eat out. That's different for everyone, of course!
Great outdoor seating. Good beers. Nice staff. Great in the summertime and just off the downtown square.
HI! So I'm confused. Why are there negative reviews and ratings from 2022 for a place that just opened 5 or 6 months ago... Anyway, I've been to Metalworks twice, so far, in the evening during the week to sit outside on the deck and enjoy a beer (or two) with friends and eat comfortable food. I sit looking to the east for the view of the trees and towers and the IU campus. It's nice. The wings are good. They have an awesome pulled pork sandwich. And they have a gourmet style pizza that my friend always orders. No complaints. No issues. Usually our server is Ashley and she's friendly, helpful and on top of it. It looks like Metalworks has become a weekly habit for me.
Went here for the first time over the weekend. My partner and I have decided that we have found "our" pub. Our server was sweet. There was live music and the place honestly wasn't crowded. The food was delicious and the price wasn't bad. We'll be back for sure !
