There is an outside patio, and a large open interior space - definitely a bit of a biergarden feel to it. You go to the bar to order your food and drinks, and tell the server where you are sitting. They then bring the food out to you. Let's talk about the food! More specifically, let's talk about the poutine! I'm not Canadian, but I have had poutine before - and theirs might be the best I have ever had. The gravy was amazing, you could tell they add beer when they are making it. I also tried their regular cheeseburger - cooked perfectly, juicy, and delicious. If I hadn't had the poutine, I'd give it high marks for the burger alone. Don't sleep on this place, it's great. Now, I don't consume alcohol, so I can't comment on the quality of their beer - but my work colleague said it was very good. I did try their vanilla soda - and it was really good. High marks all around!

The American Lager…read more"Keets" was light and crisp, perfect for sipping as I wrote a few reviews from a very nice table against the wall. Power and wifi worked well and it was quiet here today. Storm Stayed has a large seating area with mostly communal tables but some at the bar. I'd call it "Scandinavian" style with light wood colors and not a lot of decoration. Over in the kitchen, a few options that pair well with the beers such as hot dogs and pretzels. Outside seating is also available but too hot today for that! The beer list is constantly changing as they make new ones. Many/most of their beers are available to go. A great option for chilling and I'm glad I landed here for a while!

I'm SO happy to have a craft brewery in my neighborhood. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Just a short walk from my house, I can now enjoy a craft beer in a unique environment. Storm Stayed has lots of their own beers plus lots of guest brews to choose from. I had two types, their Daybreak (blonde ale), and their Bad Math. Both were very refreshing and SO delicious. Having been to a few small craft brewers here in town, I'd say that Storm Stayed had the best taste hands down! In addition to great beer, they have lots of seating and lots of games you can pick up and play. I love that they push a 'sit anywhere' policy. I'm sure on busy evenings, this would be a great way to meet people! Storm Stayed gets a half a mark off for overall atmosphere. If you are looking for something cozy and intimate, this may not work for you. With its tall, bare, white walls, large spaces between tables, and echo-y acoustics, it can feel kind of cold and cavernous. The top 40 music being played from the tiny speaker in the corner didn't really fit in either. These things, however, will not keep me away. I'm excited to stop in for more brews that Storm Stayed cooks up! They are always adding unique flavors and guest taps.They also host small events like bike workshops. I need to come back to try their small selection of locally made food. The pretzels sounded amazing.

On our trip to Michigan we came here twice and really enjoyed the outdoor atmosphere with family. 10ish beers on draft constantly rotating and an excellent menu. Burger is amazing!!!! Toasty bun, if you get one, two smashed beef patties, house made pickles, and all the other works. My mouth is watering thinking about it :) Fries are incredible, gluten free if you need to know, walleye Is so flakey, quinoa salad not pictured but also excellent, and lastly that charcuterie!! A selection of amazing meat and cheese, pickles, olives, fresh honey comb, nuts...oh my amazing! Menus are disposable, sanitizer is available, light enforcement on the masks but all in all, we felt safe. Can't wait to come back again next year on vacation.

Fortunately we were there on a perfect weather night, so sitting upstairs on the patio was delightful. Not really any bugs, not too hot or cold, and the lighting was pretty good. I appreciate that they have a parking lot underneath and in the back. I also really enjoyed the store! We got pizzas for dinner, and each had a beer. All of our pizzas were really good, and I really liked my beer! I kind of wished we had been staying closer to London so we could have gone back to try more! The ambience inside was totally different, and kind of felt like a bar I used to frequent in Chicago. It would have been nice if there were also restrooms upstairs though. Good pizza, good vibes, good service, good beer. All around enjoyable experience!

The snails were a little chewier than I had in France, but that's to be expected. The way the little layer of puff pastry soaked up the garlic butter more than made up for it. The cheese was the icing on the cake, er, snails. The walleye was some of the best I've ever eaten. It was perfectly cooked, and a real treat. It had loads of flavor, a touch of heat and was absolutely delicious. I loved the Tortino! It wasn't a big dessert, but it didn't need to be. Big on chocolate flavor and the hazelnuts were a delightful additon.

We had the whole roasted Russian River Trout and Teriyaki beef tips. Started with the warm marinated olives. I'm very objective and have to say the trout was the most superb meal I've had this year away from home. I had to ask how they sourced the fish because I was amazed at how clean, fresh, and flavorful it was. We are both lifelong foodies and skilled cooks so the whole dish service was exciting and not commonly done. The staff were also handling a wedding on the rooftop, but service was excellent regardless. Our waitress really listened to everything we said and ensured our food was served as we preferred. I was also pleased that we're were able to move to an acceptable table away from foot traffic. I would have been bumped on repeat otherwise with the wedding guests coming down. I hope the couple and guests had a great experience as well! Forgot to congratulate them. So happy to finally give 5 stars! Keep up this tempo VT.

It's a beautiful large building! Well kept and clean! Our server, Jessie, did a great job informing us of the menu and specials. She was professional and personable! We ordered pretzel bites as an appetizer and adult beverages. I ordered their IPA. The pretzel bites were kind of chewy and the mustard sauce was in between. Not sure exactly what they were trying to do with it. It wasn't too sweet and it wasn't too hot. I really was not impressed that much with the IPA, I ordered another just to make sure, same results. My wife's Buffalo ranch pizza was large and well appointed; however, we just weren't sure about the flavors. My fish and chips was huge! I really enjoyed the fish!
