We've visited East End Gastropub several times over the years and have always enjoyed the food and…read moredrinks, which is why this experience was so disappointing. Last Saturday night, my wife and I sat at the bar expecting the same level of service we've received in the past. There appeared to be only one bartender working. While the restaurant was steady, it wasn't overwhelmingly busy. We were served our first round of drinks, but after that we were completely forgotten about. For over 20 minutes, no one checked on us, asked if we'd like another drink, or even offered us water. Sitting directly at the bar, it was frustrating to feel ignored, especially when we were hoping to spend the evening enjoying a few drinks and dinner. Unfortunately, the lack of service left such a poor impression that we decided to leave. We've always enjoyed East End, which makes this review difficult to write, but customer service is a big part of the experience. Hopefully this was just an off night, but it was disappointing enough that we won't be returning anytime soon.

I did not think I knew better or thought the sign was lying. It was a dire situation. During my…read morewait for the other stall to open, my brow covered in sweat, I had to make a choice that every man has faced at some point in their life (or will one day). I'm truly sorry for what I've done. Service was great. I recommend the Lasso steak bowl.

It's a good balance with the cheese. And the poke!! Flavored wonderfully with sesame. Bbq Vegan seitan tacos were a new favorite. Salmon was a bit fishy but overall a good healthy blend. Service is always nice and it's a good wholesome vibe inside.

We were kindly greeted by Rochelle who helped up with our desired libation. I loved the ambiance and am so happy the day was shiny and pleasant because we sat outside to take in the fresh air. Of course there's overflow seating here because they also have a plentiful menu and kitchen to cater to your culinary appitite. We ordered the Uncle David RIPA, which went don't smoothly, is all I can say. Take a load off, kick your feet up, and grab a book (they have a cute Book Nook inside) and relax and grab a bite and a brew. CHEERS!!

Just left Discretion Brewing, see other review, and was not satisfied, so we came here. Sampled a few beers to start to confirm what I wanted. So I got my usual Red - Moped Irish Red Ale; so refreshing and with good flavors. Angus Double IPA - Against my better judgement, I finished my night with this. But that made my dinner better when we got to Shadowbrook, as I was so relaxed when I got there; see other reviews. Oh, ending up having the munchies so I also got a $1 bag of chips, lol. If you are following, you KNOW that my favorite breweries are ones where we can bring our own food, where they focus solely on making GREAT beer! Atmosphere - Decent size location, both indoor and outdoor seating. Events and food trucks, see website. Or my photo. Open 7 days a week, hours vary; see website. Wifi. Service - Cal is so professional and passionate about his job and beer! I believe he worked here for over 10 years. We had many different discussions on all the different beers they offer. I even eavesdropped on his beer conversations with the other patrons. Price - $18 + tip. Cost for good beer. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2023. Our local friends also recommended you, but that was after we already discovered you.

This location has food trucks for bite options, outdoor seating if you have pets, and a few seats inside if it's too windy out. The service was impeccable. Bryan had close down the growler station but reopened it because he saw my devastation when the QIPA was not for sale. Can't thank Bryan enough for ensuring I got a chance to take home their best beer on tap. Come for the service, the ambiance, and the best beers.

It did not hit me that the Santa Cruz location is the same one as the Pacifica location! I've…read morealways wanted to try the one in Pacifica, which is closer to me, and I like it! I am more of a Cider person, and I got to try their Mojito Cider, which I had never heard of before. It was SO good, yummy, and dangerous! haha. They have a good amount of beer and cider to choose from. I believe this location doesn't have food options the way Pacifica does, but the Fish and Chip truck right outside pairs perfectly with their drinks. Service was great. The lady who helped was very chill and nice. I also had a difficult time choosing what drink to pick, so I chickened out and said I didn't want anything. However, she asked me again if I'm sure, so I asked her for recommendations! We love a staff member who takes the time to go through options with customers instead of being annoyed!
