The 100-item lunch-and-dinner menu at Scotty’s Brewhouse features everything from homemade pizza and gourmet hand-pattied burgers made with different blends of locally farmed meat to french fries, fried dill pickle chips, homemade cakes and pies, Twinkie milkshakes and double-breaded chicken wings with homemade sauces.
A signature burger is topped by peanut butter, cheddar cheese, jalapenos and bacon. Every Scotty’s location also offers a gluten-free menu and a children’s menu that allows children 12 and younger to eat for free every Sunday and Tuesday.
“We’re an all-ages, kids-friendly restaurant,” Wise said.
The Oxford location will brew a small portion of the pub’s beers, which will include beers brewed by Thr3e Wise Men’s main brewery and from other craft breweries, he said.
“About eight taps will be ours, and the other 22 will be guest beers,” Wise said. Bourbons, margaritas, mojitos and martinis also will be available.
The brewpub will feature approximately 60 televisions, seat 180 to 200 people between a dining room and outdoor patio and employ as many as 80, Wise said.
The Oxford location represents the start of a broader expansion into Ohio, one that could include additional sites in Cincinnati, Dayton and Columbus, according to Wise.
Wise opened his first pub in 1996 in his hometown of Muncie, Ind., but didn’t open a brewery until 2011. There are 15 Scotty’s/Thr3e Wise Men pubs and brewpubs in Indiana, and one in Florida.
Scotty’s Brewhouse is “the anti-chain chain,” he said.
“We run our company with the mindset that every location will be unique, individualized and run with the professionalism of a large company but the feel and atmosphere of a ‘mom-and-pop’ restaurant,” he said.
Guests will be able to purchase carryout growlers of all the Thr3e Wise Men brews throughout the week at the new restaurant, which will be open at 11 a.m. seven days week. The Oxford location will also open early for Miami University football tailgates.
Scotty’s Brewhouse also offers full-service catering for small and large parties and delivery to both residential and commercial locations.
The restaurant will replace Dakota's of Oxford, which closed in January.
