This chain restaurant came across as so very promising; a large space with a ton of televisions and a whopping 72 taps, yet the beer list is not going to excite a craft beer lover.

72 taps is impressive, but they are dropping that to 50 soon so they can double up on some of the more popular beers that kick faster. Unfortunately this means downsizing the 14 craft rotating taps. When I was there in February 2019, most had kicked and I was told they are not being replaced as part of this move away from craft beers. However, your non-craft beer loving friends may be happy here. I was immediately suspicious of a glossy printed beer menu as it indicates it wouldn’t be changing any time soon (menu images below).
