I went to Rockwall TX for a work trip and wanted lunch during my time in between hotels. I saw this…read morebrewery on my maps and decided to give it a try! Lots of parking available and walking up to the front door you get a very lush/green, west coast vibe. The building is modern with tons of indoor and outdoor seating space. The glass walls looking into the brewery, the ceiling wood pattern to depict the lighthouse on the lakefront and the local, artist made, characters for each beer are just a few of the details that stood out to me at this business. With so much space it was a bummer to see it dead on a Tuesday afternoon but I saw that they have weekly events to enjoy, Tuesday is trivia night! The guy behind the bar and owner, Cory, was a very laid back and friendly fella. We chatted about how he got the place started, the roadblocks of running a brewery vs a winery or a brew pub. He gave me good food and drink recs for other local places on the square. He also created the menu. The sunset tacos and fries were delicious! I tried the blonde ale and also got a Flight; blonde, Mexican lager, lager, ipa, hazy pale ale. I was also able to taste the in house made seltzers. I had the blue/lemonade and Hawaiian seltzers. Overall, I had a great dining experience and made a new friend in Texas. I highly recommend this small business. Supporting local gives businesses more opportunities to provide additional options to customers. You could absolutely do a date night, girls night or have a birthday party here.

Location South of the 66 and north of the 30/67 in Rockwall…read more Just off S. Goliad. Parking Large lot Atmosphere Brewery-backyard party. Beautiful magnolia lined terraces, another outdoor patio, inside-very clean-you can see/tour the brewery. Stage for live music Seating Huge bar, large high top tables fro groups, outdoor terrace couches, inside couches, patio with high tops. Menu 25 beers on tap(no IPA on this visit), cocktails, wine ( no cabernet on this visit). The Sauvignon blanc was so good I wanted a growler to take home but they do not have that-just whats in the to-go fridge, which had a limited selection. The steak salad was great-lots of steak and sliced grape tomatoes, not much arugula but tasty. Summary Amazing brewery! Great atmosphere, outstanding service-one point off for not having our top choices or growlers. Recommended it to others already! Can't wait to return for another visit and tour!

If I had one complaint it would be the plastic pint glasses. I'm just not a big fan of plastic glasses. Other than that it was a great place that we will be going to on a regular basis. We didn't eat but the food looked great.

If you are thirsty or hungry, or BOTH, they will hook you up. If you want to chill with 1 beer, that's cool too. Indoor & outdoor seating. The outdoor patio is open to the north with a big shade tree, and big screen tv's. I had the shrimp poboy which was basic, but decent (you can get Buffalo sauce style) with shoestring sweet potato fries which were awesome. The Santa Fe Chicken sounded interesting. I had Lakewood Brewing "Goddess hazy IPA" 6.7% with a fruity zest... then a Texas brand IPA named for an actor "McConahaze" 6.5% which was hazy & skunky tasting Yum!

Love, love, love this bar.

One of the best parts is the music level. It's fun and sets the mood, but it's not so loud that you can't actually have a conversation. Being able to bring in your own food is also a huge bonus and makes the experience even better. Definitely one of our favorite spots.

They truly went ABOVE and beyond making our event wonderful. The servers were so helpful, friendly, & knowledgeable about their drink selection. The owner was amazing, very involved, welcoming, & hospitable - you could feel the passion he has for his company & team behind him, to say the least I don't visit Wylie often, but I would come back just for this stunning place & ppl! Thank yall for making our night a night to remember & being a part of the Wylie community! #rfl

If you're in Rockwall and deciding where to go, The Downing makes it easy. It is truly a GEM…read more The cocktails are always on point--this time I tried the coconut mint margarita and it did not disappoint. They even have great mocktail options, which I love when you want the experience without the alcohol. The most unique one that I've tried is the Pho Ya - it's Pho inspired and actually delicious. Cocktails and the menu are seasonal so you always get surprises. My favorite food options are the Salmon Poke, Beef & Rice Bowl, and the mussels. What really sets this place apart is the people- starting with the owners. The servers actually remember you, the owners are intentional about creating a unique, welcoming space, and you can tell they genuinely care about the community and giving back. The whole team feels connected--you can see they truly enjoy working together. And the vibe? Cozy in the best way. The patio feels like you're hanging out at home, just with better drinks and food. It's the kind of place you keep coming back to--and recommending to everyone.

The service for me is that of a Michelin star as well as the flavor profiles they can pack into their food. This will always be a must-visit, and the el jefe cubano is spot on! Best Cuban sandwich I've had in Texas. If you haven't been and you're local, you must come, and if you are just passing, it is a must-try.

Pork belly roll was ok but for $18 put decent piece of pork belly on it! See pic, even the bigger pieces were tiny. Quality control and consistency would help the back of the house. If you're low on pork belly better not to serve it like that. I wouldn't order it again. The wedge salad and soup were outstanding. Crispy cauliflower is misnamed, not crispy and were served just about raw. I wouldn't order this again either. A bit pricy for an app, salad, side and a cup of soup, $53 plus tip $63 total. Dining room was attractive and clean. Service was pleasant and prompt.
