From the taproom to the stage to the biergarten, every corner of hear.say is built for connection — good beer, good food, and great laughs.

beer + food

Craft beer, comfort food, & good company. Our taps feature everything from crisp lagers and hop-forward IPAs to fruited sours and bold stouts. Pair your pint with wings or a sando from Westside Biscuit. Hang with friends in the biergarten or catch a show in our adjacent theater. You can even rent space for your next private event.

Plan Your Visit

First time here? We make it easy to visit. Come early, grab a drink, and enjoy the space — there’s plenty of room to relax inside or out. Settle into the taproom with a pint and a bite, soak up the sunshine on the front patio, or head out back to the biergarten for fire pits, lawn games, and good company. Wherever you land, you’ll find the perfect spot to unwind before or after a show in our adjacent theater.
