Virgil and Mitzi built the Railyard to be a place they want to hang out, and there are so many fun little touches that you won't even notice unless you're on the lookout. The beer taps are great, fresh, and changing. No old outdated kegs here. I have had wonderful beer from local breweries, and last night I had Hofbrauhaus, Hacker-Pschorr, and an Old Speckled Hen from England. What a treat! There is a large canned beer list as well. Service is friendly and fast, and then you can choose your seating option. Picnic tables, big plastic comfy chairs, seats by the fire pits, bar stools, high-tops by the food truck, or tables under the shelter. It really has that intimate yet expansive feel that I love. Add lights, live music on weekends, easy parking and what is not to love? Bring your kids and your dogs, they will have a blast too. Additionally: wine is available, mimosas on Sundays, food trucks most weekend evenings (follow them on Instagram to get the latest), and note that each restroom has it's own personality. Magnet poetry, anyone? As Elkin's only beer garden, it is the new social anchor for the west end of town.

This location is out near Lewisville in a more rural area. They more or less have the same great…read morebeers they do at any of their other locations. Typically it's not too crowded here so service is pretty prompt with minimal wait. They often have live music and a regular rotation of food trucks on-site. Last time I was there they had Nada Mas Empanadas which I highly recommend. The brewery itself is located at an old winery and has a nice rural countryside vibe to it. If you like Incendiary's selections and a relaxed environment I would recommend checking it out.

We've visited Incendiary at both their downtown and Lewisville locations quite a few times. We…read moreappreciate having the Lewisville location as it is convenient to our home and always makes for a great opportunity to take out of town visitors or simply enjoy the day. We visited this weekend specifically to see a local band, City Lights, who were playing from 5-8pm on a Saturday afternoon in late March. One of the band members is a coworker of mine and we enjoy listening to this talented group of people. We arrived about 4:45pm and were happy to see the amount of people, this was the first time we have visited where the overflow parking was needed.

This is a really cute brewery with some of the nicest people…read more The place is located in a really cool area where you almost feel like you're going into a forest. Once you drive up their driveway, parking is located atop the property where it's a short walk down to the taphouse. Presumably family owned, the owner greeted us and gave us a run down of the beers available. She also allowed us to try a few options. Beers range around the $6-$7 price range for 16 oz. There is indoor seating but the outdoor is nice and shaded so you must it outside! We had such a nice lunch here (can bring your own food in) and if you're lucky you'll even meet their dog!

The second half of the downstairs is all pool tables. They have a decent variety of beer, more than just a menu of IPA's like many places. So you should find something you like and they do have some ciders. Bar also offers mixed drinks. Upstairs offers pizza, sandwiches and some appetizers. Pizzas are smaller and almost perfect for one person. Our entire group enjoyed the pies they ordered.

The place is nice and it gives a restaurant vibe, they also have a downstairs area, with their taproom and arcade. What did we have? - Jalapeno Poppers - The Godfather (recommended) - Southern Comfort Burger - Knuckle Dragger, Black IPA 9% ABV - Sir Walter ESB, ESB 5.2% ABV

It was standing room only this evening, and we had to park it near the door near the food truck. Being near the door in February, my daughter was getting cold. A woman came over, propped the door OPEN, and proceeded to video the band from half way out the door. She said something to my daughter about her being cold, which my daughter was honest about, but was ignored as she continued to video. As any father would do, I stepped in and asked to close the door as my family is cold, and went back to where I was standing. She proceeded to get in my face and say, "I'm the OWNER here and I'm getting a video" and went back to what she was doing. No I'm sorry, no recognition of her patron's needs. Just complete dismissal and rudeness. Needless to say, we didn't spend another nickel there, and never will. We left and will never be back as long as someone with that view of their patrons is still in charge. Zero stars for service and ownership regardless of how good their product may be. No thanks, Karen.

It was a crazy day, anticipating a big snow/ice event, but friends invited us and off we went! We…read moreare homebrewers and so have been frequenting this place since our friend and fellow homebrewer opened up 9 years ago. The brewery was packed and festive and the beers did not disappoint. I wasn't in a beer mood so I opted for the rum & coke slushy-refreshing but I'm pretty sure there is virtually no alcohol in it. Worked for me though, I was all about the flavor and in need of an icy drink. Bartenders were on top of things and no wait for anything we needed! Live music, a pizza truck outside, and a few vendors set up inside. Always a great time!

The staff has always been hard at work keeping up with a busy night getting the drinks out as fast as they can. The bar itself is pretty big.

It's a great atmosphere for a night out.

It's large and open, which makes it perfect for hanging out without feeling cramped. Their beer lineup is solid with something for anyone. Honestly, I wasn't a fan of their lager. It was alright. However in their lineup was a pilsner alongside several IPAs and other options. Overall, it is a cool brewery with a comfortable atmosphere. Will be back to break into their other beers.
