The Greg Brady And now for something completely different. We present to you: The Greg Brady. 100-percent Wagyu beef topped with house-made mac n’ cheese and Martin’s BBQ potato chips. Because sometimes the sides are so good they get piled right onto of the burger, and we know you’re hep in far out ways. Paired with house-made Jack Brown’s sauce and Yukon gold crinkle cut fries. Malt undertones and a slight hop character round out the dish when paired with Blue Mountain’s light and crisp German-style Kolsch 151.

Fireman’s Burger One of Rock Bottom’s signature menu items, the ¾ lb. Fireman’s Burger is 12 ounces of juicy ground beef topped with pepper jack cheese, fresh sliced avocado, red onion, lettuce and for the fiery finish — pickled jalapenos, house-made red chile sauce and chipotle mayo. Be sure to ask for a side of pub sauce to dip your golden brown fries in. This burger pairs perfectly with Rock Bottom’s Fire Chief Ale — a beer brewed annually in support of local firefighters. The 2017 batch of Fire Chief was a traditional, dark copper-red English ESB. A toasty caramel malt profile is offset by an assertive hop bitterness.
