Default World of Beer

I just had a flight of Belgium beers at World of Beer. They were delicious, but I must be allergic to them, because now I'm feeling a little phlegmish!

"Phlegmish" must be a Belgian word borrowed from the old Flanders. Does it mean full but happy!

Took some family visitors on the trolley ride yesterday. The guide said World of Beers is looking at knocking down the wall and expanding to the store next to it.

Good idea, because it is too small. There will be a huge onslaught of people over Christmas and into December. And at Thanksgiving....and Halloween.....and Columbus Day.....and every night in this lively place.

Way to small and no way to put your name on a list. We stood in line to eat at the door. Food was OK for bar food.

Not impressed with the bratwurst slider. I think the pretzel roll spoiled it for me.

Anybody try the grilled cheese sandwich yet?

Do they have braunschweiger sandwiches with grainy mustard and thick onion slices on good rye bread?

I am making myself hungry. Mein Gott.

Default Too small

The bottom line is that it is way too small for the amount of patrons and it will just get astronomically worse in the winter. It already takes 45 minutes to an hour to get a beer, and that is if you have a seat. It is nearly impossible to get service if you are standing as you cannot get to the bar area at all as their is little walking room. We were very excited about the huge choices of beers, but it is frustrating if you can't get service or even a seat for an hour. They really needed to make it four times the size IMHO as I don't see how they can fix the service and wait problem now.

We haven't been there yet but went to one in Tampa area---it wasn't large either. For sure, will not wait an hour for a beer or a seat.

A place for a beer, not food. Our food was good, but not much of a selection to draw us back. I did enjoy a funky beer. I agree with a lot of the posts......way too small.

Sounds like you could bring your own beer and mingle with the crowd, and nobody would be the wiser.

The cooler may give you away.

Might as well bring your own sandwich too. If someone asks you how the sandwich is, you can say, "It's very good, just the way I like it."

I'd suggest you not drink that Belgium beer, but then I'd have to waffle on my own opinion.
