Last night Bob and I ventured out to Sedona Taphouse. Serving 500 craft beers by the bottle and 50 on tap, it's a great addition to the Westchester Commons shopping center just off 288 in Midlothian.
Walking in, the atmosphere was a bit dark and stark (the rainy night didn't help any) but it grew on me after we settled in at the bar. The bar area is set up so you have the option of either being in front of the TVs or not. That's a nice touch.
Our bartender Chris gave us menus and an overview of the beer offerings, which are the star of the show. Each night three of the drafts are on special for $3 during happy hour, which we took advantage of for round one. Bob had a Fat Tire and I had the Abita Purple Haze. We ordered the Goat Cheese and Basil flat bread ($7)as a pre-dinner snack. The flat bread was one of the best I've had. Thin (but not crackery) crust with a robust tomato sauce, Le Chevre goat cheese, mozzarella, parmesan it was baked to perfection and topped with fresh basil. It made me wish they were opened for lunch during the week.
The flat bread was so good we decided to go ahead and have another beer and dinner at the bar. Bob was happy to see Duvel on draft ($9.75) and I let Chris choose a beer for me. He selected one of his favorites, Dogfish Head Palo Santo ($10.50), and it lived up to the hype. It's a robust and flavorful dark beer that went well with our meal and warmed me on a cold, rainy night.
For dinner, Bob started with a bowl of lobster bisque ($6). We each ordered the American 'Kobe Beef' sliders ($7). The two sliders were served with caramelized onions, Vermont cheddar and their house sauce (a homemade thousand island) and served with house made blue potato chips. We also ordered the Blues & Blue appetizer ($2.50) with more blue potato chips served with blue cheese dip. The burgers were outstanding and the blue potato chips were a nice change from regular chips or fries.
Sedona Taphouse is a welcomed addition to our side of Midlothian. Good service, good food, good beer as well as free music on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays and located near the Regal Cinemas, I believe it will quickly become a popular place for a casual date, a quick beer before the movie, or a place to hang out and have some good food with friends while listening to some local talent.
