World of Beer is not a restaurant. Some of their locations have no food selections at all. This one is catering to The Villages crowd with a minimus selection.

First off it's craft beer, so don't expect Red sauce prices. before five bottles are discounted, after five drafts are discounted.

I like beer to much to go to this establishment. I would need a co-signer to be able to pay the bill.

We went and got a table immediately because it was only about half full. After waiting for about a half hour and nobody even came to our table, the 4 of us got up and left. The waitress came up to us on our way out and just said "I'm sorry." We won't go back.

525 varieties??? I went there first week of opening looking for a specific craft beer from New Hampshire (Smuttynose) I was disapointed it was not on the menu and did not stay. I understand there might be other ales out there as good but I was just looking for some back home taste.

It might benefit you to keep checking in as World of Beer rotates the beers that they offer. It also might not hurt to see if you can hook up your favorite brewery with World of Beer. With over 2,000 craft beer in just the states, it is hard to please everybody, all of the time.

This happens often in bars when there is no hostess to direct a server to your table, particularly when the servers are still in training.

Got there Sat about 1 and outside bar was crowded but we found 2 chairs right away. Order a few mixed beers and waited a bit but it was a pleasant wait watching the crowd of people in the Sq on Sat. Beers turned out to be great but I'm pretty sure we couldn't order another on and drive home ( As a matter a fact the bar tender cut the younger girl off next to us when she had 3 beers and she was fine). Talked a bit with the bar tender > They have to go to 10 days of beer school, 300 started and only about 20 to 40 made it through. Bar tenders clearly know their beer. He did indicate that this was the only location that served food since they wanted to cater to the Villages. The sandwiches looked good (we didn't try them) the pretzel was big but pricey. Several people were trying the flights. If you tell them the type of beer you drink they will tell you their recommendations (and it won't be coors, miller or budwiser etc), and I got a feeling you won't remember what they said and it won't matter since they will probably replace it in a few days with something else you never heard of. They do have specials during the week and they change the beer menu every day or two days. I got a feeling the line waiting to get into this place in Jan, Feb , March will make them wish they made the Sq larger. Oh Don't forget to bring you CC, you will need it but I'm not sure you will mind it.

I am making myself hungry. Mein Gott.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... I'd go there for that.

Went twice, it's a nice place too small, beers are a bit higher except a few but it makes sense for what they offer and have to maintain in stock.

Ordered flat bread things they were very different, no consistency at all.

Two folks with us ordered another round they never came, waiter said oh they didn't come? they said never mind after waiting so long

The wait staff needs direction (I don't think there was a manager there) and training, just growing pains.

They need to ramp up quick for more customers.

I'll go back, but if it's crowded just walk over to CF

We have gone to WOB four times so far. The first time was right after they opened. We also looked for Smuttynose, but it wasn't on the menu. Went back a week later and they had it. The waiter said the beer selections change every four days on average. I noticed they also had Red Hook, which in brewed in both New Hampshire and the State of Washington. On the menu it's listed under Washington. So don't give up so easily. You might check their "online" menu. I don't know if that changes as often, but it's worth a shot to see if your favorites are available.

Oh, we had a Hostess seat us then we were forgotten.

I went there twice and sat at the outside bar. The beer selection is awesome, but a bit overwhelming. The bar tenders seem to be a bit arrogant. They seem to be more interested in showing you how much they know about beer than answering simple questions and giving good service. After looking at the menu for several minutes, I waited for the bartender to finish the lengthy conversation he was having with the group next to me. When he finally looked my way I waved at him and he held up a finger indicating one minute so that he could finish his conversation. I asked him a simple question and he rambled on with all this information without answering my question. When he finished I asked my question again and he looked annoyed. So I ordered a beer. When I finished I looked around and couldn't find him for a while. I might have ordered another one, but by that time I had to get going.
Second time there the experience was a bit better. At least I got some attention right away. But again, when I finished my beer and wanted another, there was no server to be found. I finally got the attention of someone, asked a question and got a lot of gibberish and ordered another beer. When I was about half done the server came over and asked my how I like it. We chatted for a minute then the asked me if I wanted another one. My glass wasn't half empty yet.
They may teach them a lot about hops and barley and yeast, but they don't know much about dealing with people.

cost me over $30 for two beers, a pretzel and a lousy flatbread...

WOB being busy proves one point to me. I go to every other place in TV and ask what beer they have on tap and the selection is just awful. Ask why they don't have an IPA or a good English or Irish ale? They ALL say "can't sell it here. Everyone wants Bud or Coors or Miller Light". Well, WOB proves that is false. They just want to sell what the local distributor has on the truck. Palmer sometimes has something decent and Garvinos has Boddington in a can, but other then that I have given up on any decent beer in TV.

Will hope that WOB is a rousing success. People are willing to pay for decent beer, just very few places are willing to sell it.
