Smylie Brothers Brewing Co. in downtown Evanston is a casual dining option with a focus on barbeque. The menu offers various dishes, including a pale ale pretzel, tomato bisque soup, spinach artichoke pizza, and a brisket sandwich. The beer selection is acceptable, with a few IPAs and a decent lager. The cocktail menu is tempting, featuring a delicious barrel-aged old fashioned. However, the service has been criticized for ignoring customers and displaying a lack of personality. The restaurant's atmosphere is pleasant, and the waitstaff is generally kind. Nevertheless, some reviews mention issues with the brisket sandwich being too fatty, the bun being stale, and the coleslaw having too much dressing. The barrel-aged old-fashioned also received negative feedback for its taste and dilution.
