From beer, wine, mead, sours, cider and flights. They rotate their drinks monthly. Love the 100% (sweet) pear cider. The food menu looks good- lots of tasty options. And cheesecake. There are 3 seating areas - the main area, a loft with a fireplace and I think there's another seating area on busy days and/or for events. Bartenders/servers are always nice! The owner knew his stuff! He knew every drink and gave great recommendations. Parking: free street parking It's a must try! Support small

This is the oldest brewery ever founded in Minnesota, but not the longest continuously running. It was founded just three years after Minnesota became a US territory! Crazy history! Immediately upon walking in, this place has a charming but spooky vibe! My partner and I ordered our first round of tap beers, we decided to go with the oldest ones we could find on the menu! They were absolutely delicious and full-bodied. It was a cold winter day outside, but so warm and cozy inside we never wanted to leave! To prolong to stay a little bit, we ordered a flight and shared it together. We thought it was smart of them to have get-to-know-you cards on every table to keep the conversation flowing! Honestly, I think every bar should have that! Easy St. Paul Street parking. Honorable mention to the adorable loft with the spiral staircase. Next time I'm sitting up there!

From the welcoming feel to the art on the walls to the bar. Everything is well thought of in this restaurant, including the menu. On this visit we went for brunch and were blown away by how delicious everything was. The Waffle and Duck Confit might be the best brunch dish ever! The spiced maple syrup is perfect with this dish. We also ordered the Herbst Breakfast...so good! The eggs were cooked perfectly, the greens were perfectly dressed, and the toast....OMG the toast!!! Even the butter used for the toast was incredible. We finished with the Bombolone and it was a perfect dessert. Not overly heavy with just enough sweetness. Check this spot out! Parking is a little tricky but there is a pay parking lot behind the restaurant. Oh, I can't forget to mention the farm stand. Yep! Fresh produce and eggs! Seriously, check this place out!!!

Pizza is of course a perfect pairing to beer, and you can get ice cream to do a float with root beer or a sweet imperial stout (seriously, get it, so good). Ok, so why three stars? First, OMG sugar. The pizza sauce is sweet, and then they put honey on everything. I get it, bee themed, commit to the bit, but that did not go well with beer. Second, you're serving yourself, ordering at the counter, busing your own table... but unless you alter it, it's a 20% automatic tip on everything. I'm a believer in tipping, but not when there isn't any actual service. This is a norm right now for self pour places and I hate it.

If there is more than one of you, order two of them, so you don't end up stabbing each other with your forks trying to stuff them in your mouths as fast as possible. After that, it's dealer's choice. Highly recommend anything that involves the chicken or the pickled red onions, but the sausages are yummy also. Only complaint: BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL HOUSE PICKLE RECIPE

We went into the lot and all the restaurant spots were blocked off, after a call they cleared one. Started with bacon wrapped dates, which were good.

This place is a hidden gem, but make sure you plan ahead to get there. Their website says that they…read morehave 10 parking spots dedicated for the restaurant, but that isn't completely true. We got to the parking garage, lots of spots left for the restaurant but there was a valet there and said all those spots are actually reserved for the valet. We ended up parking across the street near the lake. Once inside, it's a very nice vibe with beautiful furniture and lots of natural light. They have great happy hour menu - we started with the shrimp appetizer which as flavorful and the shrimp was plump and well cooked. We also got the burger and the Waterbury salad. Burger was good, but the salad was a bit basic; I was expecting more bacon and more blue cheese dressing, it was mostly just basic iceberg lettuce which is not awesome for $13. I also tried the Hugo spritz which was refreshing but a bit sweet for my taste. I will for some come back to try more things!

They also have a few merch vendors tucked away in the back. There's indoor and outdoor seating as well as a stage for live music inside.
