The Hall consists of 3 floors and they have plenty of parking, both lot and garage. The main floor has all the merchandise and to go beers, a self guided little tour, a little bar area. The second floor has beer and food. The menu has been updated a few times but I've ordered several items and all have been good. I believe the last time I went they expanded into pizza. They have a couple of bar areas, one with a majority of their offerings and the other for experimental beers. I like the experimental offerings and I regularly check them out. On the larger bar they have seasonal, year round, and sometime specialty beers. They also offer seltzers if beer isn't your thing. They have lots of seating including patio. The patio is nice because it overlooks the city and they're expanding it. The 3rd level I'm personally less familiar with. They call it the Rec Dec and I've been up there maybe once. They have games like shuffleboard that you can rent lanes for. They also offer more cocktail like drinks so I'd recommend this level if you're less into beer. All three levels have excellent service. Definitely check them out if you're in town or in the area!

I will have to plan ahead to do a tour but if you are looking of a large gathering hall with multiple outdoor patios this is a great place, they have 3 different bar areas that I saw and it is a good way to check out the beer without having to buy a full case. There is a very large gift shop on the lower level as well. I did see there was some food but didn't look into that since I had just eaten before I got there.

Our bartender explained the different crafts on tap and even gave us a couple of samples to try. I ended up going with the "Mai Savior" - a Maibock (German) beer. Brewed for May 1st or "Bock Day", it has notes of malty honey with a slight caramel finish, and a 7.7% ABV. It was refreshing and very good! There are plenty of tv screens mounted throughout the building and with plenty of World Cup matches being played in different venues, it was easy to watch the different group play that was going on. And lo and behold in the corner there were 3 pinball machines! (I was really loving this place by now.) We had a great time playing them. Then, at the other end in the corner was a place where one can order pizza - which I can attest to it being very, very good. They have a covered outside seating area too that's pet friendly so feel free to bring your favorite K9 companion. What a great place! So, If you're in the Kansas City area I highly recommend you check them out!

The menu had a good variety of brew styles - barrel aged stouts, hazy IPA, fruited beer - and I ordered an English Pale Ale. I'm a sucker for English style beers, so it was an easy choice. I really enjoyed my drink and I look forward to visiting again. It's nice they have a kitchen space available to order food. Jimmy B's currently resides there and their pizza is very good.

The atmosphere was laid back and relaxing, and sipping on a delicious cocktail while making a candle was the perfect midweek reset.

I'll definitely be back for another one!

OMG, how have we not checked out The Old Mill before?! This place truly has something for everyone!…read more We stopped by today and were blown away by how much is under one roof. Grab BBQ at Quentin's, coffee from Ten & Two, ice cream, or a freshly brewed beer from Outfield Beer Co. Prefer a cocktail? They have you covered there, too! You can browse books and games, check out trading cards, or just find a spot to hang out with plenty of seating both inside and outside. Nathan at OBC was fun to chat with he brews his own beer and is always sure to have a cider on tap. There is even Fuel House, a members-only space with a golf simulator and other amenities. And then head upstairs to Third Story Studios! The third floor has a completely different feel with beautiful, high-end spaces featuring independent hair, nail, spa, and beauty professionals. Whether you are looking for coffee, lunch, a locally brewed beer, cocktails with friends, somewhere to hang out, or simply something different to do, The Old Mill is worth checking out. You could bring a group here and everyone could find something they enjoy. Such a fun hidden gem right in our area. If you have not checked out The Old Mill, add it to your list! 611 W.

The fried pickles are also stellar. This was the first time I ever tried scotch eggs, and I love them. The dipping sauce was so good. The taste of breakfast in a little package. The best part? You can get a sample tray to try all the beers on draft. 7 4-oz beer samples for only $9?? Such a reasonable price to try some local beers. I really enjoyed the O'Malleys Cream Ale (which is also what's used in the beer cheese) - a nice hint of sweetness. Recommend sitting outside to enjoy the view of the large ball of twine. There is a large parking lot for the restaurant and bar. Super close walk to everything else in downtown Weston.

Then they have great food, although they basically don't offer what you would consider service. We had the pickle chips (great), tenderloin, (pretty good), and the O'Malley sandwich (pretty good think Reuben). Fries were pretty typical.

We came from the airport because our flight was late (big shock). The area nearby was quiet in a slightly deserted way for Thursday. There is an upstairs and downstairs, connected to a Vine Street Chicken place. One could drink/eat upstairs but the Bingo was downstairs. It was quiet for a Thursday, only 9 or 8 tables playing. We sat with our flight and listened to the numbers and patterns. We didn't win anything but it was fun. I got samples of East 71 (Cream Ale); Worth the Climb (Pilsner); Jazzman (Dark Lager) and Hood Saison. I got a full pint of the Jazzman as well. The only food they serve is VIne Street chicken, so we ordered that after the game; we wanted to eat downstairs so my party picked it up and brought it downstairs. There was eventually a bartender downstairs as well. One not great thing was that when we arrived at 7 or so, (we parked nearby) the bar downstairs was not open, so we had to order upstairs and BRING the flight downstairs. No elevator! It was interesting taking a paddle of 4 small glasses of beer down a flight of stairs. I guess after 2 flights we did not want to wait til after Bingo to get beer. The food was very good, the chicken and mac/cheese was great, but the only sauce I liked was the peach Bourbon. Yum! Both bartenders were friendly and helpful, and there were board games and sofas for cool nights, and a nice outdoor patio for sitting outside. There was a cooler of cans to take home, but since we were flying it was best not to risk it. I'd go back later if I return to KC, esp to get a few cans to drink in my room instead of paying stadium prices!

The space feels relaxed and approachable without trying too hard. Big open taproom, easy atmosphere, good energy. The kind of brewery where you can settle in for one beer and accidentally stay for five. Mary behind the bar was awesome right away. Friendly greeting the second I walked in, super knowledgeable about every beer on tap, and genuinely helpful without making anything feel scripted or sales-y. Hospitality matters to me a lot, and she made the experience feel welcoming immediately. I worked my way through quite a few beers: Hop Cuddle, the collaboration with Tall Trellis, their Mexican-style lager, Weathered Wit, Pavers Porter, and the rice lager. Every single one was excellent, but that rice lager was probably my favorite. Crisp, clean, refreshing, incredible mouthfeel -- one of those beers that disappears way faster than you planned. Weathered Wit deserves a shout too. Light tartness, citrus notes, classic Belgian yeast character, ridiculously refreshing. Everything you want from a witbier on a warm day and they absolutely nailed it. (beeradvocate.com) Also, I'm genuinely excited to see breweries collaborating again. Beer feels more fun when breweries are creating together instead of existing in separate lanes, and it's cool seeing that energy still alive in Kansas City craft beer.

There is plenty of space to hang out at, and there is also live music on Sundays. I first came to this brewery years ago and had not been back because their beers, though good, were not my favorite. However, I stopped by on a Sunday in December in my quest to find local beers to gift to a friend and discovered that Stockyards had added sour beers to their menu. I am so glad that I came back here because the sour that I tried was amazing, and I had such a fun time hanging out with some cool Packers fans who shared their table with me and watching the game with them. As long as Stockyards Brewing keep making sours, I will be back. If you are a Packers fan, I was told that Stockyards Brewing is your haven.

They also have a smallish patio out back, a large back room with a bar (I believe it can be rented out), and the main tap room. Between the main room and back room there's a hallway with windows that look over the brewery so you get a little sneak peek. The main tap room has kept the original charm of the place. It's like stepping back in time but with AC and no cows. They don't offer food but will occasionally have food trucks or you can bring food in. Service is always friendly even when they are packed. They offer a variety of craft beer and they can also do cocktails. I love the brunch stout and the black IPA when it's in season. On my last visit I had a sour and I thought it was good. They also do a fun event on Sunday called stockyards Sunday service. During service they have live music which is usually bluegrass and it's always packed and fun. I recommend getting there early to get a seat. They usually have a food truck on board during it but check the socials to be sure. If you haven't been, definitely stop in and check them out.
