Food is generally good and pairs well with drinks, featuring burgers, poutine, and quick bites, though some reviews call the pricing a bit steep and note that food quality can vary. Service is frequently praised for being friendly and knowledgeable, with staff able to explain beer differences, but crowds can lead to lines and occasional delays, especially during peak times or when ordering at the bar. Taken together Messorem comes across as a standout destination for beer lovers, particularly in the summer, offering a mix of top tier beers, a strong social scene, and a dependable yet imperfect food and service experience.View restaurant profile
