    Meantime is my favorite restaurant in Hamilton -Newcastle, I usually go Tuesday Wednesday nights when trade is a little slower, however there is always more business than one server can handle, Hannah is a great server and Meantime owners should be glad they have her, but there should be 2 servers this close to Christmas.

    Great relaxed ambience. Gets busy at this time of year and thus noisy even sitting outside. Bruschetta was disappointing and burger and health bowl were fine but nothing to write home about. With this location, a bit more pizzazz with the menu could make it a first choice.

    The place was packed but our table was clean and ready at the booked time. Excellent service and the beers tasted great. The 8 Things food truck provided a great selection of German food for the Oktoberfest event. We'll done Method Brewing on being such a professionally run venue.
