Growlers Bistro & Craft Beer Bar doesn't just brew up some sterling spirits, they do offer some solid sustenance selections as well.

Their Beer Battered Fish & Chips ($17++) is constructed from two gargantuan fillets of seabass battered in their homebrewed ale batter and served with an abundance of thick cut fries. While I appreciated the firmer flesh and drier, meatier texture that the seabass offered over the normal dory fillets, the batter left quite a bit to be desired.

The batter was quite uneven, which resulted in thin, excitingly crispy batter at some points, while the batter was slightly undercooked at others. Fortunately, the batter still clung onto the fish for dear life and didn't separate easily despite my sawing into it. The fish fillets themselves were slightly under-seasoned and seemed to rely a little too heavily on the batter to provide flavor.

Overall, Growlers' Fish & Chips are pretty decent, but they would benefit from a few tweaks and improvements to their processes. Also, I would be indescribably excited if they were to introduce a cod fish variant for their fish & chips, and I would quite happily pay for the difference in cost.
