Verdict: Our expert take on Über Tavern
Food (8.5 out of 10)
mentioned by 86% of the guests
When it comes to food, this spot shines with its flexible approach, earning an excellent customer satisfaction of 91.3% and a good score of 8.5. Many guests rave about the fantastic option to bring in outside food or order delivery from nearby establishments, making it super convenient. With 95 positive remarks, the availability of appetizers and the freedom to enjoy your own grub are definitely big hits.
However, its worth noting that the establishment doesnt have its own kitchen, a point mentioned in 2 opinions. While the ability to bring in food is a huge plus for many, a couple of folks wished for some in-house, easily made appetizer bites to complement their drinks.

- beer selectionMy experience at this small but nice watering hole was excellent. The establishment boasts a great curated selection of beer, with to-go 6-packs available from a well-stocked fridge. It's clear that the owner/operator genuinely cares about beer and possesses a lot of knowledge to share.
- beerIt’s a little slow tonight, so they put the volume on the TV, which I love! The food is authentic, and some say they have the best beer ever made – check the pics! The service was great, and the atmosphere was enjoyable.
- beers on tapMy experience at this restaurant was centered around their diverse tap and bottle selection. They offer 17 different beers on tap, with a notable variety of barrel-aged options.
- local beersput so many local beers on tap
- outside foodThey have amazing beers on tap and good prices. A great perk is that you can bring in outside food or order pizza to enjoy with your drinks.
- selection of beersMy experience was at a very small hole in the wall neighborhood bar. It offered a great selection of beers, both from the PNW and Europe. We enjoyed appetizers as we had a few beers after dinner and stayed until close.
- tap selectionThe 24 oz (6 selections) for only $11 was unheard of from where I'm from. There's even more served behind the counter in the fridges and an awesome tap selection. You'll find anything you could possibly want, and the bartender is very knowledgeable and friendly, so don't hesitate to ask if you don't know much about your "brew buds".

Frequently criticized
- inside foodWish inside food was (2 or 3 sneaky good yet easily made appetizer bites
- kitchenThey offer a wide variety of bottled beers, and the presence of three well-placed TVs added to the ambiance. It's important to note that there is no kitchen, so it's advisable to eat before visiting.
If youre looking for a place with a great vibe where you can enjoy your own food or order in, this spot is definitely worth checking out. Just remember to plan your main meal beforehand, as they dont have an in-house kitchen.

Alright, lets talk value! This spot really hits the mark, boasting a 7.4 score and a solid 80% customer satisfaction. Many folks, 12 out of 15 comments, raved about the low prices and reasonable prices, especially for their 24 oz (6 selections) and growler fills.

While generally well-regarded for its pricing, it seems there are a few items where the price' might raise an eyebrow.

Fantastic Beer Oasis on Aurora
My experience at this place was a little oasis of fantastic beer on Aurora. I'm eagerly anticipating their expanded food options in the coming weeks. They currently have a great Tuesday special featuring 5x 4oz tasters of double and triple IPAs. It's also convenient that I can walk home from here.

Great Beer Selection, Far From Home
My experience at this restaurant was primarily defined by its excellent Covid-19 protocol and a surprisingly enjoyable offering of almonds, served with a smile in a glass. While the food itself was a side note, the great selection of beer was a definite highlight. They also offer decent off-premise sale prices.
The atmosphere was comfortable, being cool in the heat and warm in winter. The only downside is that it's too far from my neighborhood.
