Variety of beers, many good choices. And the food was tasty but too much oily inside.

We went there on a busy weekend for dinner. They host live music on the weekends. They have a wide range of menu options suited to all tastes. We ordered a beer flight along with IPAs and cocktails. The food was good but not top-notch. The server was attentive and service was quick. Overall a good experience.

The elote corn dip was beyond bland except for the over powering red onion. The knife cuts of said red onion were sloppy. The huge chunks is why the onion was so over powering. No trace of tajin or citrus in sight so I’m not sure how it was “elote”. I ordered the sesame chicken and the flavor for that was on point even the green beans but unfortunately the chicken was so over cooked and dry that I couldn’t cut it and when I managed to rip a piece off I couldn’t chew it. The burger was okay. Not enough cheese WAY too much bbq (house made and honestly was good but too much on the burger) the temp was wrong too but given how thin the patty was they did a good job. Oh man. The Shepards pie ): was so excited for that one. Unfortunately the amount of granulated garlic used in the mash was all I could taste. Also all I could taste because the ratio was non existent and the whole dish was mainly the potato .-. The meat was missing veg tho that’s for sure. Well with every negative there’s some positives right? The beer was awesome I really enjoyed it. We got the flight of 5 and it was a very reasonable price. The equipment was in such prestige cleanliness. Big shout out to whoever’s keeping up with those! Our waitress did a good job too she was attentive and helpful and answered all our questions. Pretty sure her name is Casey and she’s a vegetarian! The manager took off the chicken and gave us a free dessert so that was cool. The food was mediocre (sorry boh) but I hope you guys see this and put some love into your food cause I truly wanted to enjoy that meal and I didn’t. It was my first meal without my two kids just my husband and I in probably 4/5 months. This economy is too rough to spend money on mediocre food.

It's a really cool place! We had a work dinner here. The menu is diverse allowing everyone to select something delicious for each dietary requirement. We enjoyed their beer menu allowing us to try local craft. Thanks for hosting us! Our waiter Jonathan was awesome! We will see you next time we are in town!

This was a great Saturday night salad. The beer was absolutely unique too. Saturday night has free music and it was open until 1 AM. We walked in and sat at the bar. It did take a little bit of time for us to get acknowledged, but we were behind a pole. The staff was completely friendly and attentive after they realized we were there.

This place is humongous. I love the exposed wood rafters, the wooden floor, the brickwork. Fortunately, for me, Memorial Day weekend took everyone out of town and it's fairly empty except the outdoor seating. Curious how loud it gets when this place gets full. I didn't try the food as I stopped in after lunch so no comments on that. The service was very attentive and friendly. The staff may have outnumbered inside patrons. I was just here for the beer. Tried a flight and a full pour. Decent brews but nothing stood out from the crowd.
