We came here as part of a community before a state football game and it was a perfect spot. It was large enough for people to sit or stand and to walk around and visit with other families. I think we overwhelmed the kitchen and bar a bit, but I was just glad we had a space to congregate together before a big game.

It was our first time there, and I made a reservation- it didn't appear necessary once we arrived, but we had Guthrie tickets and I didn't have time to check if there were other events in the area so I thought I'd play it safe.
I had a great time trying out the beer and specialty drinks. They were absolutely fantastic and the food was equally impressive. The service was wonderful and we had fun joking with our waitress (I feel bad that I forgot her name). Thanks to a plaque on the front of the building, we learned of the interesting history of the building the brewery is housed in.
Overall a wonderful experience and we will certainly look forward to another visit to Day Block!

Our food was good but the two pizzas we ordered were overdressed and dripping with liquids which made them tricky to eat and very difficult to enjoy as leftovers at home. The ambiance was great but the lack of service help was very noticiable as there was only one person serving, hosting and taking orders at the restaurant started to get busy, this made for longer wait times and service requests.

I understand that it’s very difficult for establishments in this COVID world. Service was slow, but completely understandable. Outdoor patio with live music made for an awesome atmosphere. The volume of the music was at such a level that made conversation difficult. Would have preferred background music. Overall though, a good experience!

I made a reservation with Table Agent but when I showed up and told the staff no one looked at the reservation. I had put on there it was my birthday, which maybe wasn't a big deal to them, but it was to me. The beers were overpriced for my taste but the outdoor seating in the city was very nice.

2 people in our party ordered 2 different salads. Both were way over-dressed - I could hardly eat my barrata salad because the dressing was so heavy. While the dressings were tasty, too much overpowers the other ingredients in the salad. Two others in our party ordered the Rodeo burger and enjoyed them. Like the clever naming of your beers. Service was fantastic.

After paying a $30 “donation” to see a live music act we were told the event was cancelled due to the weather. So we stayed and had dinner. Upon walking back to our car my wife heard a band warming up. I inquired and was told that the band showed up after all. It would have been nice if the server that told us the event was cancelled informed us that the event was still on.
