“ Great brews and a wonderful menu. The veggie sub was delicious. The southwest grilled chicken salad was perfect. The really fine bar and superb brews on tap, brewed on premise. A great variety to be had! Family owned and run. Sweet people and place. ”
“ Great place to eat and get a fresh, cold beer. We especially enjoyed that there were some vegan options on the menu. The Black bean burger was delicious! And the beer was from tap and brewed by the brewerie. On the day of our visit (Tuesday) there was also some karaoke on we could listen to. Highly recommended! ”
“ Great place to stop for a while. Good drinks, the bartender was both prompt and funny, and although we only ordered an appetizer, it was excellent! We would definitely go there again! ”
“ I had the green chili stew (absolutely delicious!) & it come with a side of focaccia bread; hubby had the Blast with grilled chicken - he loved it! Fries are really good! Husband had IPA - he liked that; I do not drink beer but they have a great wine selection (for non beer drinkers) as well as a full bar. Atmosphere was very cool! Highly recommend this restaurant! (Did not get pics of food as we were talking to a couple from New Mexico and were too busy - food was gone before I knew it )’ ”
“ Only stopped in to order to go but the staff was very friendly. The bar looked cool They have three vegan substitutions which was awesome! The regular plant based patty was very good. ”
“ We stopped in here last year while in town, and had a great meal so had to come back. We had the shrimp platter and the Tuscan chicken pasta which were both great. I had to try a bowl of the green Chile stew, which was also delicious. We couldn’t eat dessert, so got the chocolate chip cookie cheesecake and the raspberry cheesecake. Our server Neco was outstanding, even though a tour bus came in right after us. Bravo! ”
“ Bar atmosphere with decent music (not too loud). Beer is pretty good with flights (max 4, 5 oz pours) available. Beer flight: Honey Raz Wheat, Lost Cowboy IPA, Rippa (mixed pour of previous two beers), and Doppelbock well all great. Food: German pretzel appetizer was great Chili verde was excellent with great flavor and not over-salted, both in the Stew and on the Open Face burger. Preparation time seemed a excessive, but worth the wait. Service: Staff was pleasant and attentive, and the service was excellent. Overall: 5/5 ”
“ Very good food and lots of beer choices. Did the French dip upgraded to Philly. Loved that the dip was still there! Awesome flavor! Had the chicken tortilla soup also which was great. ”
