The Friday Fish sandwich

Welcome to Fish Sando Friday folks! Last year, it was heavily suggested we put up a fish special for the seven Lenten Fridays. So after a whole year of thinking about, it this is what we're doin:
Every Friday a new, interesting and elevated fish sandwich...once we sell 'em all there done for the weekend. And the next Friday will be something fresh and new. 
This week we've got a Speculator Beer Battered Fried Cod Sandwich...with a shredduce, sliced tomato, pickled red onion and house sauce gribiche (french-style tartar sauce with egg, caper, cornichon, fresh herb and lemon) on a buttered brioche bun. This one puts all other fried fish sandwiches to shame. 
Check in every Thursday to see what's new for Friday!

Winter has arrived


New season means new menu here at Open Outcry!! Our winter menu is comforting, delicious, scratch made and designed to pair perfectly with one of Jake's cold brews. Lots of old favorites are back slightly refined and better than ever, beloved staples stuck around and some fresh new things make an appearance. One thing is for sure, there's something for everyone and everything is made in house.


New beer on tap!


A new offering and fun brew day here at The Cry. Brewed with our good friend and one of our best customers, Eddie Marx, Crown Investments, is an easy drinking E.S.B. 

A semi traditional English Bitter with notes of dark, crusty bread, caramelized figs and English toffee laying base to a hop profile of Lemon Zest, Rose Hips and woody undertones.

Ed came in to help with this brew from start to finish. A pint was had, a pint was made and now, finally a pint is had again.


Your new Wednesday night

Hump day needed a reason to exist.

Brunch like you mean it
2026 is the year to brunch better than ever before, every Sunday. Simple, short & sweet and all made from scratch, that's how we've always done it and how we'll continue.
Stop in for some Greek yogurt, homemade granola and homemade jam, or an elevated comfort food classic homemade banana bread french toast, or a light and fresh avocado ricotta toast. And yes, we still have the best Bloody Mary on Western Avenue and fabulous and fun mimosas!
Make our brewery a brunch staple for you 
and your fam and friends this new year!

February desserts 

Our desserts this month bring two totally different, but equally awesome vibes. For the chocolate lovers, we’re serving up a decadent Homemade Brownie Pie, boasting a fudgy, rich center topped with a cloud of freshly made strawberry whipped cream. 
If you’re looking for something light yet luxurious, try our Buttery Flourless Coconut Cake—a gluten-friendly delight with a velvety texture and a house made chocolate sauce. Whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day or simply cozying up against the winter chill, these two treats are the perfect way to sweeten your season.

cozy up with a cocktail

Our winter cocktail menu is a total vibe! Thoughtfully curated by our bar managers Marissa and Kate, scratch made with house infused liquors, and scratch made premium ingredients, our lineup is full of everything you've come to know and expect from our fine crafted cocktails.
