The walls are covered in old photos, which gives it that cozy, authentic pub feel. We started with the Brussels sprouts, and those were a win. I love Brussels sprouts when they've got a little sweetness to them, and these hit the spot with a nice flavorful sauce. For my main dish, I ordered the cottage pie (similar to shepherd's pie), and it was honestly really, really good. The flavors were on point, and the mashed potatoes on top were super comforting and well done. Definitely something I'd order again. The only downside was the service--it was just okay. Nothing terrible, but it definitely could've been better and more attentive. Overall, it's a solid spot with great food and a fun atmosphere. I'd come back, especially for that cottage pie.

When it comes to the size of the brewery, it's comfortable and has room to move around. There is an indoor taproom as well as an outdoor patio. The patio is a good size and there are fire pits during the cooler nights. For entertainment, there is shuffleboard, pinball machines, a wide variety of board games and a little gift shop area. They have a good sized screen for sports games and they are very kid friendly. They have clean restrooms and changing tables. For drinks and menus, they have many different beer choices, a selection of wine, visiting taps, and a few non alcoholic options such as sodas. They also offer good snacks such as pizzas, salsa platters, pretzels, burritos, chips, and kids snacks like goldfish, chips and Nutella snacks. Everything is reasonably priced and we do recommend this great spot to those with and without little ones.

It takes a lot for us to leave a one-star review, but this experience, combined with the constant turnover of beertenders over the years, has finally pushed us to that point. Tonight, at 8:45 p.m. during last call, a new beertender named Rob poured me another beer. Then, at 9:12 p.m., he came over to remind us that they had closed at 9:00. We immediately gathered our things and left, but the interaction made us feel like we were being pushed out. I didn't even finish the beer I had just been served because we no longer felt welcome. For nearly 10 years, we've never been approached like that. We've often stayed up to 30 minutes after closing to finish beers that were poured at last call, and it has never been an issue. We fully understand and respect posted closing hours, but if customers are being served at last call, they should be given a reasonable opportunity to finish those beers without feeling rushed. What made the interaction even more confusing was that Rob was still in the middle of his own closing duties, like bringing in the outdoor cushions, so it didn't appear that our presence was delaying the brewery from closing. It's incredibly disappointing that after nearly two decades of supporting this brewery and being regular customers, this was the experience we had. Between the revolving door of beertenders and the way we were treated tonight, we've decided it's time to take our business elsewhere permanently.

We were offered indoor or outdoor seating and we opted for outdoors on this balmy 80-degree evening. Wife N started with a mocktail: Summer Crush. Delicious and we didn't miss the normally included liquors in the spirited version. She ordered a make it yourself burger: just the bun, patty, some ketchup and mayo. Medium. Side of fries. Her way. Burger perfect medium. Fries were crispy, above average. I ordered the Mushroom Avocado burger, also medium. Burger was juicy, flavorful, and the tempura avocados were an interesting twist on the un-fried norm. First couple bites had some crisp but mostly the avocados got soggy halfway through. Not sold on the tempura frying but the sandwich on the whole was great. Got some local draft on the side. Well taken care of, food was great, will return.
