B² Taphouse Brewery

I've been to b² numerous times and it has been great. Recently, not so much. First, great selection of beers and other drinks, friendly staff, nice vibe. I've had good burgers and tacos there. On my last visit they were cutting costs. There were menu items just scratched off with black marker. The ladies at the till had a list of at least 6-7 things they are out of, carne asada, Korean beef, etc. but many of those items were still on the menu so you had to go through item by item to see if something might still be available. We got two things, fish tacos and beef tacos. The fish were still good, had diverse ingredients and good flavors. The beef tacos were embarrassing. Barely seasoned dry ground beef, a load of iceberg lettuce and some dry shredded packaged cheese. No sauces, no sour cream. The taco shells were stale and should have been toasted a little. They were inedible.Cut costs if you must but offer fewer food options, and make sure every item brings people back. The difference in quality between the fish and beef was unbelievable. I've had better tacos at Taco Bell and I hate chain foods. I'll give em another go but hope they improve or we'll lose another good option in South Salem.

Yummy food and great selection on tap. The best part was that they had a a bowl of hair ties in the ladies restroom next to the mints. How sweet!

Got turned away cause my ID looked off. I’ve been a budtender and a bartender and I would have never turned away a customer that was an out of town 1st timer. We are traveling all the way from seattle and had this mapped out as one of our stops but sad we’ll never get to try it cause the bartenders don’t know how to check an ID properly, they even said they were “nice” for giving it back. Like I wouldn’t have called the cops if they just took my ID away

Great atmosphere. Nice assortment of beers to choose from and the menu was great. Would definitely go back again next time in town.

Apart from the booze (standard selection) the food was pretty bad, kind of like no one cares about that part. Rubber chicken, hard chips.. like break your teeth hard. Brussels somehow soft and burnt?!? Guac was only ok... Second time here, worse than the first. Not returning.
