South Street Brewery is a casual brewpub located in a renovated late 1800's warehouse with brick walls and wooden floors. Parking is easy at an inexpensive pay lot across the street. Large windows look into the bar and dining area. The restaurant is split into a lower dining area and an upper bar area which are divided by a large brick fireplace and booth seating. The lengthy 24 chair bar is wooden and topped with copper. Behind the bar are short ugly green liquor shelves and a brick wall with large arched widows that looks into their narrow brewhouse, which has several stainless steel vessels in a single file row. One colorful wall mural at the end of the restaurant near the kitchen adds life to this otherwise drab interior. Plodding slow rock music doesn't help liven the subdued atmosphere. The service was adequate but not especially outgoing. The menu consists of salads, sandwiches, and a variety of dinner entrees. There are 7 house beers on tap, and their standard offering is just average: Liberation Lager, Pilsener, Satan's Pony Amber Ale, J.P. Pale Ale, and Porter's Porter. I really enjoyed their two seasonals: Lupulin Stout and Honey Bragget Ale aged in Chardonnay barrels. I wouldn't go out of my way for South Street, but if you're nearby, the sampler flight is worth trying.
