The editorial take
Bond Brothers pours a deep range of house-made ales, lagers, and sours at its two locations, with the Eastside venue adding wine, cider, and non-alcoholic drinks. The beer is the draw: eight house styles from a rice lager to a hazy IPA, plus a hibiscus cider that customers have singled out. Wine by the glass and bottle covers the basics at fair prices.
- What should I order?
- Start with Chatham Street Copper, a 5.2% ABV copper lager that shows the brewery's clean take on classic styles. For something hoppier, the Obfuscate hazy IPA delivers. If you want a fruity detour, the Cider 2 Stern hibiscus cider has earned customer praise.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Beer drinkers looking for a broad range of styles, from crisp lagers to a hazy IPA and an Irish extra stout, will find plenty to explore. The Eastside location's wine and non-alcoholic options also make it a reasonable stop for mixed groups.
- What should I expect to spend?
- House beers run $6.50 to $7.50 per 16-ounce pour. Wines are $8 to $9.50 by the glass or $27 to $31 per bottle. Non-alcoholic options range from $1 to $7.50.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- Bond Brothers operates both a brewery taproom and the Eastside music venue and bar, so the beer list travels from a golden rice lager to a saison with coriander. The inclusion of a hibiscus cider and a full non-alcoholic lineup sets the Eastside menu apart from a typical brewery pour list.
