I got this drink with Door County cherry vodka, and it was really good. The cheese curds were also great and only four dollars during happy hour! I also ordered the mushroom Swiss burger. The menu recommended a double patty and I figured it was because they were smash burgers. From my understanding, smash burgers were typically thin and crispy patties. Unfortunately, this was not the case. They were much thicker than I imagined and a double was way more than I could handle, a single would have been perfect. There wasn't really any crisp to them and they were pretty heavy and greasy. I actually forgot that the burger was supposed to come with Riley sauce then I saw a nice bite with some of it, but when I went for it all I tasted was hamburger grease. The cheese fries were pretty good and I would definitely get those again. I would also love to try some of their other menu items and maybe even give the (single) burger another chance one day!

It was in an entirely different location then, so this was my first visit to the new taproom. Such a comfortable and fun spot! They have so many different events, including an ASL Guided Brewery Tour (which is quite unique) and a monthly book club. I originally stopped by to drop off books for their used book sale, but I stayed for two beers. Very friendly staff and appear to be highly engaged with their community. There was a nice variety of styles on their beer menu. I tried a pilsner (I believe?) and an Oktoberfest (because it was the season). Both very tasty! I enjoy the atmosphere of this brewery and the type of community they seem to be building.

The music was a perfect volume, it was perfectly crowded with enough seating, and the bartenders were so kind, helpful, and efficient. Granted, it was a holiday market type of thing that was happening on a Saturday afternoon so who knows if it was the regular clientele but there was a great combo of people there--even a baby or two. Workers were holding them and it just really seemed like a warm, welcoming business. I had a Cream City Crusher or something and my friend had an Oktoberfest--both were awesome. I'd totally go back!

The fries were also good with ranch. Definitely will stop back and dine in!

Food was decent, atmosphere was also fine, but service was not good…read more We had been wanting to try this place for a while so we invited our friends to join us. We got there and we had a reservation, so we were seated right away. We ordered appetizers and we all ordered steak dinners and three of us ordered beer. The tap beer was just so-so. The steak dinners were pretty good. My steak was more medium-well than medium-rare, but still good. And the mashed potatoes and veg were really good. I'd go back for the food, but we were just not cared for by our server. She didn't bring plates for our appetizers and didn't check back so we were just eating over the table for quite a while. We also got the wrong wing sauce and needed to have one of our orders of wings replaced which our server seemed slightly annoyed about. Then after our appetizer plates were cleared one of our group accidentally handed in his silverware. After we got our dinner, the server also didn't check back for a while so our friend was left unable to eat his food for quite a while. Lastly, we all would have ordered more drinks and dessert but the server never asked us if we wanted anything else. Overall, the server was not pleasant or friendly or interested in our table and we just didn't feel cared for in a way that would encourage us to come back again.

Date of visit: June 28, 2025…read more This is not a spot I would likely find myself given that I don't drink, but we were here for a birthday party and found it to be a lovely little venue. With wonderful weather, the front garage door was open and allowed us to move back and forth from the front patio section to the interior area to get beverages from the bar. The acoustics in the bar area were not great, making it hard to talk, so I was glad that we could utilize the outdoor area where it was much easier to talk. However the facility does do a good job of utilizing the space effectively, given its narrow footprint. I really only saw one staffer but she was very friendly and suggested the No Pain Painkiller, an oddly-named drink that had coconut and orange juice in it. The first one was very good, the second one...not as good. Not sure why but I definitely would not have gotten a second one if they were reversed!
