We managed to snag a bar table outside in the sunshine and got down to business. It is so rare to see a pickle dip on a menu and being a pickle obsessed connoisseur (yes I've been to pickle fest) I had to order it as an appy. My husband and I devoured it in about 5 mins. Great choice to pair with a salty ripple chip! For our mains, I got the oven baked chicken wings which I give full props on the crunch factor for an oven baked wing. My only qualm was the hot sauce was more like a sweet salsa. Totally fine if that's your vibe but I would maybe rebrand it as abit like a sweet salsa over a hot sauce. When I think wings and hot sauce, I'm thinking something more like a Franks. I also was thrilled when our server asked if I wanted it on the side as the wings stay even crispier if you put the sauce on after and I was so happy she shared this as it was a great reco. My husband ordered the corn nachos and holy moly these were delicious. Amazing amount of toppings and great melted cheese ratio to chip. Slam dunk on these! I would go back simply for these! On the beer side we both loved the Foeder Vienna Lager - so delish. And I loved that they carry Nonnys as I love a good non alc option!

The red ale was like a light stout, also nice because sometimes you just want a ... lighter stout, you know? The stout was smoky and creamy. The food was solid too. Favorite was grilled peach salad. That was great. The contents of the pork taco was good. The tortilla could have used a few seconds on a hot plate or griddle. Heating it up can really do wonders to lame, store bought tortillas. The apple, blue cheese and walnut tart was the sort of dish that a meat eater would be like, eh, nice quiche, but I bet vegetarians love that they made an effort to prepare something thoughtful and interesting and delicious for them. The meatballs were good too, although among the 4 things we ordered, the most ordinary. Staff were wearing masks. Capacity was limited. There was hand sanitizer at the door. All appreciated. Great place! I'll eat here again if I ever come back to Campbell River. Oh, also, cool swag section! The fancy growlers were tempting.

My…read morehusband and I were driving through and already had eaten a big late lunch so opted to head here for dinner but weren't too hungry so decided to order the carrot cake, yes carrot cake for dinner because we're adults and can do what we want. But holy hell this carrot cake is prob the best slice of carrot cake I've ever had, whoever is baking back in the kitchen is a total rockstar. This cake is moist flavourful, the nuts are a great add and the icing isn't too sweet it's simply perfect. We were shocked at how this blew us away. As for the beers my hubby got 2 that he thought were pretty good but I wasn't drinking and ordered their homemade ice tea and omg they did it again, so shockingly good! Just the right amount of citrus and great tea flavour. The over atmosphere inside is just okay but the service is attentive and all in all we were pleasantly surprised by how delicious our few items were!

I'm a bit of a creature of habit and I generally go for a dark beer but they've been out of my favourite Nitro for a while but I've found options. The fries are lovely and crispy and always hot. We usually get two tacos to share between three of us - beef brisket and beef barria I think it's called. They are completely different taste profiles and the accompanying sauces are delish. It's basically on an outdoor patio that's been screened in with plastic with lovely space heaters that keep everyone warm. There are a few seats inside as well but I've never been there. The ambiance is lovely - it's always buzzing with people coming and going and it's often a bit of a wait for a seat but once sitting down you aren't disturbed except with the lovely staff delivering food. Every staff person I've encountered has been friendly and while super busy seem to really enjoy being there. Wide variety of people too - people from the ski hill, pre theatre people, after work people. And the best part? Dogs are allowed!!

Dave Paul (the Owner) is easy to spot as he is quite tall. But even if he wasn't tall, you'd meet him eventually. He's a guy with a career in hospitality and he intuitively works a room with a laid-back fun-loving style and easy laugh. He started with kit home brew years ago, but really began making awesome beer when he went all-grain. The beers are delicious. The merch is high quality (we bought 2 tshirts, we loved it that much). Make sure they're open before you make the trip. But if you do go, don't let the exterior fool you. Dive into the rabbit hole head first. There's a jovial party inside that you don't want to miss.

Since we're from Van we don't get to go here as often as we'd like but wow what a knockout brewery! The interior has gotten even better since the first time we went! The ferns from the hanging baskets above are beautiful, the plants throughout the space give it such an earthy BC forest vibe it's gorgeous. The patio too! What a great spot to post up and enjoy a delicious lunch and some beers. This time I got a non alcoholic Cesar to drink and I loved the garnish of jerky, bean and pickle. My husband got a beer which he loved. For eats we ordered the chowder of course with the side bannock (a must) and the shrimp and lobster lettuce wrap and the broccolini - everything was delish.

I got a flight of the glowing embers ale, kelp stout, dark lager, and spruce tree ale. Dark beers are usually my favourite, but my favourite out of this batch might have actually been the glowing embers, which was described as a candied smoked ale. The caramelly/smoky combination was great. The kelp stout was interesting - I found it had a slightly vegetal finish but wasn't overtly kelpy. If you like stouts, you'll probably like this. All the beers were very enjoyable. The spruce tree ale and kelp stout are probably the two to try if you want something uniquely local. The Japanese street food truck outside was also fantastic! You can grab food from them and bring it inside the brewery. They also have bar snacks (pretzels, chips) inside. The building is cool. There are front and back patios, a spacious main floor, and a hidden, cozier second floor. The bartender that served me was very friendly. I noticed that the staff was very diligent about clearing tables inside but not so much outside, I saw a table on the patio that had abandoned empty glasses sitting on it when I went out to pick up my food truck order and still there when I left.

Lots of locals, great staff - order & pay at counter and they'll bring it to you. Warning; Some of the skinny picnic benches may not be suitable for young, old or overindulged folks. Would definitely stop again.
