The OB on Dupont closed in early July 2009. Per their sign on the door, the economy finally nailed them. Since Ft. Wayne is short of even marginal craft beer places the closing is very disappointing as the OB served a few good taps (Dogfish 90, 3-4 Bells). Come on, FWA, let's get on the craft beer train!

They did indeed stop brewing beer. I visited at the end of July. However, I should note that they now have a pretty good selection of regional microbrews on tap, so should qualify as a "beer bar." Food is good... among the best you'll find in Ft. Wayne. It's a regular stop for me when I visit.

Was told over the phone by a member of the staff that the brewery has ceased operations and the equipment is up for sale.

I got the sampler and really wasn't all that impressed with what I got. The stout was on the watery side and the IPA was a little too tame for my tastes (it's more of an English IPA not the West Coast variety). The food for our party wasn't really all that good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back.

They weren't serving food on a Sunday afternoon (it looks like they start at 5), so I just had a couple of beers at the bar. The Amber Ale was average, but the Dopplebock was very good. The bartender was attentive, but the atmosphere seemed forced. As a native New Englander, the decor was a far cry from a genuine seafood stop - sort of like plastic wood trim in a car. Anyway, aside from my ranting, it's a good stop, and I'll look forward to eating there soon; the menu looked attractive.

The beers here were average. The best out of the sampler had to be the stout. The IPA was a bit weak on the hops, for my tastes. The food was very good. This is more of an upscale brewpub, however they didn't seem to mind people in shorts and T-shirts.

I enjoyed this place a ton. Great food! The menu is mostly seafood and steaks, so it isn't inexpensive, but there were sandwiches available too. Loved the patio seating (it was a rare warm sping night). There were both non smoking and smoking bars which I thought was a nice touch. Nice beer selection with styles ranging from Kolsch ale through Stout. This brewpub is also making some great lager beer. No one was in jeans and t-shirts while I was there, but I didn't get the impression that I would be out of place if I were wearing them.

Something must have changed since the first review. I didn't feel at all out of place in my jeans and t-shirt, the service was fine, the beer wasn't bad, and the prices weren't that high - oysters and fine seafood are their specialty so you can't expect to leave with a $6.95 food tab. None of the beers were bad, but a couple did lack character. As note by the last reviewer, the raspberry wheat was just about perfect. The stout, which was a sweet version, was excellent. The seasonal pumpkin ale was also very good. I had a chance to talk to the brewer, who proved to be knowledgeable, friendly, and honest - admitting that he was better at certain styles than others. The beer selection showed that he was willing to try many different styles. I will go back.

I'll say the help was horrible, mainly due to the waiter calling Barley wine " Brandy wine". The Rasberry Wheat was dead on. However the IPA was lacking hop character . I think the previous poster may have been looking for something a little less "homebrew" tasting. P.s. try the ale bread

Lousy So So Good Lousy So So
The Oyster Bar proves that just because a place is packed with patrons at all times doesn't mean that the beer is good! This is not a T-shirt and jeans brewpub; I was the most underdressed person there, and the staff seemed to not acknowledge my presence (and they didn't know anything about the beer!) Nothing on the menu for under $10; you'd think they'd have enough money to brew decent beer. But alas- of the eight beers offered, I could barely tell the difference between five of them. Very weak and bland, they are geared for macrobrew drinkers who want to feel like they're drinking something special. If your nose is stuck in the air and you don't care what you drink, come here.
