$12 for a 4 beer flight, we'll worth it!
Jennica S.

We went here for a pre-valentines day dinner drink. I was pleasantly surprised to see the menu had 6-7 beers brewed right there, their own brand. We're often more wine than beer people, so we kept it pretty light with trying their 2 current IPAs, their blonde, and then my husband picked the Smokey pale ale. All were enjoyable, though the smokey one really tasted quite smokey, which was cool, but not to my taste. The interior is awesome with the brewing equipment visible. You order at the counter and pick from an assortment of high tops, tables, or bar area. There was even a group outside next to a heater bundled up, even though it was 25 degrees out! I know this place is new and I'm Sure they have a food plan to roll out, but my 4 star review is because there isn't any food here. Now again, we knew we were going to dinner after going here anyhow but when you're offering beer, some of which are heavy stouts, you've got to at least have some basic finger foods. Chips, pretzels, flatbread, etc. we did see a table with hot pretzels and cheese cups but we also saw a table with Burger King so they clearly allow you to bring food in, but if you don't know that beforehand, it might be a bummer to show up, order some beers, and not have anything to go with them after a few. And honestly, it doesn't have to be anything fancy, just something to soak it up! They'll profit more by having a few food options for sure. Hope to visit again come spring to sit on the pretty patio, at which point I can hopefully update my review to a 5!

Accessible parking spots are paved - great!!

The bartender completely ignores customers. Ended up just leaving and going to another bar.

The coffee blonde is the best I have had so far anywhere. Very cool vibe and very clean.

Not sure what was wrong with me In college. This place is sweet! Walked in and they were playing…read moreclassic rock music and a zombie movie on the tv. This place looks unassuming, especially at night. It's got a wooden sign on the corner and it's a biiiiig white building. The window has a big neon light that says open. There's a toooon of parking in front. Don't be alarmed that the building doesn't look super welcoming - go inside! The place is so big inside! Theres so much room. They had like 8-10 beers on tap and tons of picnic table style sitting and high tops. It's 12 bucks for a flight of 4 and happy hour is 4-7 with $1 off pints! Lit. I really enjoyed the beer here! They also have partnerships with bent tree coffee (another local business in kent), so some of their beer incorporates deep coffee flavors. I really enjoyed the four beers I got. Just so you know, there's no food here and they don't allow pets besides service animals inside. They do have chips for $0.75 :). Not sure if they let you bring food inside, I didn't ask. The true selling point: there's hella pinball machines in here! They are well kept up, super nice, gorgeous, and fun. There's a change machine and you can even pay with your phone on some of them. They have everything from Stranger thjngs, Rick and Morty, Star Wars, ghostbusters, Iron Maiden, guns and roses, and even a beach babe heavy lifting pin ball machine. Absolutely loved it here! It was $0.75-$1.00 for one game for $2.00 for 3 games. I had so much fun playing the pinball games. They were in good condition and clean, and there was hand sanitizer nearby. If pinballs ain't ya thing, they have a buncha board games and other arcade games like bowling, driving games, a dart board, and shooting games. This place is rad! Plus, it was not crowded at all on a Thursday evening during happy hour. Had an absolute blast hanging out here with some buddies drinking beer and playing pinball and would love to come back! Good beer, good music, nice staff, and reasonable prices. How fun!

We popped in here when we were in the area. The outside is kind of plain so I wasn't sure what we…read morewere going to walk into. This place is huge inside! There are three rooms and all kinds of games, bowling, skee ball, pinball scattered throughout out the building. A great selection of beers. We can't wait to come back when we have a bit more time, and maybe catch a day their is food trucks.

Great selection and atmosphere. Nice people with some fine entertainment. Well done!!!read more

Tasted a flight of the five you see in the picture. Lots of potential in this new brewing…read moreoperation. I think they are only available in restaurants and bars right now. I tasted them at Iron Mann in Girard. Shout out to those guys for having this extensive selection, along with great, friendly service I'd say check out 1547 wherever you find them and see how your tastes compare to mine... My impression of the beers (always a subjective matter, of course) went down something like this: 1400 Miles From Home - a Key Lime Sour. Very light sour, to my liking, with all of the flavors in the description working together quite nicely Kolsch - another light version of this style. It is a good summer beer for someone who wants a little more flavor than a Bud/Coors/Miller Ohio Heat Wave - subtle habanero on the back end slowly builds, but that's about the only thing I'm picking up. This is a very light beer Hang 11 - a sweet IPA? The bitterness is as advertised. Would love to know the hops involved. Very drinkable, but don't expect a mouthful of IPA. More like a sweet, session IPA in my opinion Shooktown NE IPA - first taste hit very nice. Like most of them, it tastes very close to the description. No bitterness, but like others on the flight, it's a light version of this style. I'm used to a more potent hit of juice from a NE IPA, it's drinkable for sure
