   Visited Explorium Brewpub in Third Ward for first time and service was amazing. It’s not all that common to get service like we experienced. They were friendly, checked on us often, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience.

   After going to the Greendale location a few times and happy with the food and service, I was looking forward to my 3rd Ward visit. I was so excited to see a Banh Mi on the menu. The key to any Banh Mi is the bread. The bread was soggy and on both the top and the bottom. My curry fries were warm at best and limp. We were all completed with our food by the time my son's calzone arrived. Overall, I was disappointed in our experience.

   Host staff was great. Food and alcohol were good. Service staff was fantastic. Just as we were trying to pay our bill an assistant manager came to our table and asked us to leave because there were people waiting. He was incredibly rude and it was just shocking to have this behavior. We had literally just gotten our bill that we had been waiting on for several minutes through no fault of the server. She was busting her butt. When we called the assistant manager out on his behavior he deflected. Seemed to be no big deal to him. Disappointing.

   The staff is always friendly and welcoming. The menu has been updated since our last visit and unfortunately the chicken strips/tenders were removed. Their chicken tenders were some of the best I’ve ever had. Please, please, please bring them back! Thank you

   First time coming here. Good location and very clean. Staff was very prompt and friendly. Their menu has some unique items. A bit loud for my liking but overall the food was good.

   Had a great experience on what I suspect was an exceptionally busy early evening due to a sold out Marquette game and Downtown Saturday night events. The staff was attentive and cheerful. This was my second visit. I came back because the food is great.
