Food consists of pre-made pizza from Jamestown, ND (Johnny b) and is cooked on site for $15 each or $20 on Thursdays with 2 pints included. It's a small place with big flavors, located across from veterans park. I suggest grabbing a spot at the bar and chatting it up with the owners/brewers. These guys, like the sign says, are awesome!

Good selection of adult beverages and always friendly staff working the bar. There is a back room, so if the ambience is too loud, I would guess if you asked, they would let you take your beverage and work back there... Because that is just the kind of people they are. Definitely a spot to visit if you are local or just driving through!

When I sat down with my laptop and my delicious beer, it was quiet. Just after I started plugging away on my laptop and sipping at this great beer, the musician started up. He was loud. I'd have been fine if it wasn't super loud. Like if maybe people at nearby tables could have a conversation without shouting. But nope, this was just about concert volume. 78 to 83 decibels which Yale Environmental Health & Safety says, "Level at which sustained exposure may result in hearing loss." The folks at the next table were shouting to continue their conversation. Friendly service. Great little local brewery. But it was one excellent beer and out. Sorry, Swing Barrel. Maybe next time!

I've been here many times over the recent years but I'm finally getting around to writing a review,…read moreafter thinking about how much I enjoyed my last visit here. Junkyard added this West Fargo taproom (originally brewery is in Moorhead) when they renovated a former bank building - which they did a great transformation. This location has tons of both indoor and outdoor seating and has multiple levels of both. The large street level patio has more shade and the large rooftop patio has more sun. On this last visit, we sat on the rooftop patio, in a nice alcove area that probably seats about 10+ people between the wicker chairs and the high top. This would make a good hang out spot if you are coming with a group. The beers are always good, with a wide variety of options. For this visit, even though I was tempted to get the PB&J Sour (which actually tastes just like a PB&J), I ultimately had (two of) the Mango Orange Lime slushy drink. It was so good, and the staff commented as well on how it's a favorite of theirs. And speaking of staff, they are always very friendly and attentive, which serving you at the bar or stopping by your table to see if you need anything. Junkyard always has popcorn on hand, and while they have tasty pizzas as well, we just stuck with the popcorn and drinks on this visit. They actually had free Sandy's Donuts as well, and I don't know if that is a normal Sunday thing or something special - but we didn't take any anyhow. Lastly, it's a good spot if you have a big group as they have plenty of long tables.

Multiple floors, inside/outside space, and of course the same popcorn that you know and love from their other location. They even had space on the inside for a philly food truck to set up a table and be slinging out some grub for those that were drinking their beers. We got a set of five small pours, including two from other breweries that were in town due to Foolers Ball: Puff Tart XL - Raspberry, Lemon, Pineapple An Imperial Sour Ale with Raspberry, Lemon, Pineapple, and Marshmallow Flavoring from thebrewingprojekt Late Nite: Red Velvet Whoopie Pie A Pastry Sour from definitivebrewing that features hundreds of pounds of fresh raspberry, red velvet cake, vanilla cream, and brown sugar. Cheem Creese Cake A Raspberry Cheesecake Sour that tastes just like cheese cake covered in berries. New Zealand Cheat Codes An Imperial IPA hopped with Nelson Sauvin, Moutere, and Wai-iti. This is the definition of a great IPA featuring New Zealand "cheater hops" and it was so dank and tropical. Queen Size An Imperial Stout with Marshmallow and Peanut Butter. Not thick in body, but nice drinkable stout with a complementary adjunct profile with the base stout. ____
