Bao Brewhouse is a multi-concept restaurant, the first floor is known as the Tap Room, in which you will find service via QR codes, WALK-IN'S ONLY, Chinese street food inspired fare and a local rotating draft list.
The second floor is known as our Tea Room, there you will find a more traditional dining experience with a twist. The Tea Room menu and ambiance lend to more curated and intimate affair, with a vast tea selection ranging from herbal to puer, a thoughtfully selected wine list with a tea-centric cocktail program to satisfy even the most adventurous of palates. The Tea room has a DJ every Tuesday, Thursday - Saturday giving the room a not-so-stuffy feeling.

**Please note** Bao Brewhouse holds two separate flights of stairs to enter each of the two dining rooms. The building does NOT have an elevator. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

    Although the staff were great(!) and the ambience was lovely; the food was mediocre and pricey! I think the prices were location based. For instance, a shrimp bao plate, with 6 pieces the size of tater tots were $26+.
    Bao BrewhouseResponded on 19 November 2024
    Thanks for the feedback. We recommend coming in during happy hour our late night (Thurs-Sat) to enjoy these dishes for $8.88 instead of their regular price of $15.88. We also have daily specials to enjoy as well! Hope to see you again soon!

    The food was great, but service was too slow. We bugeted 90 minutes for dinner before a show at the theater. We ordered 10-15 minutes after we sat down and ordered a drink then waited. We finally got our food with 15 minutes left before we had to leave, one of our dumpling orders had to be canceled be cause it had not arrived before we had to leave. I do plan on going back, great food-just plan on more time.
    Bao BrewhouseResponded on 19 November 2024
    Thank you for your review, George. We apologize for the timing of your dinner service. We strive to provide our guest with optimal service, even on our busiest nights. Please give us a call before your next visit so we can accommodate your reservation and make up for your previous visit.

    3 weeks in a row I’ve been here because I enjoy the food and the vibe so much. The Kobe Beef dumplings are the best thing and also the Short Rib Spicy noodle is also a must try! The baos are fantastic. It’s little pricey, but the whole experience makes up for it and the live DJ is such a nice touch.

    These are the reviews that make it all worth it for us! Thank you, Mico!
