We were a party of 5 people. We didn't have a reservation and we wanted to sit at the patio. The…read moreserver did bend over backward for us and got us a patio roof table. It was a nice little pub that also made their own craft beer. They are located in Duncan. I was told before coming here their crispy chick sandwich is the best. We ordered a 2 appetizers to share: calamari and crispy buffalo chicken. I got a virgin lemonade and the crispy chicken sandwich. The food was good given the fact that it is located in a small town. I found the lemonade a bit watered down. It was quite tasteless or maybe it had too much ice. The calamari was very tasty. It wasn't like super crispy but you can tell that the calamari was very fresh. It was not chewy. The crispy buffalo chicken was super spicy. Good thing it had ranch on the side to dilute the spiciness. The chicken wasn't very crispy. The chicken was a bit dry. The chicken sandwich was ok. It wasn't wow wow. They did flattened the chicken before breading it in panko and then deep frying it. The chicken was more on the dry end. I liked how it was served very hot. So you know it was made upon order. I wished they added more sauce to the burger. They were generous on the cheese. The chicken was crispy and not oily. I had my burger with onion rings for an extra $2. They were very generous on the onion rings. They didn't have any special sauce for the onion rings. They served with ketchup. Most places served it with chipotle mayo. I would say food was more on the lower end of 3 and service was 4 stars. I believe Craig Street is one of the two bigger restaurants in the small downtown of Duncan. Good thing is that there are plenty of free parking everywhere. It is definitely a good meeting/hangout spot with friends.

Plenty of parking and signs leading you to an adorable brewery playing awesome reggae music. Two outdoor seating areas. Yummy brews. I had a blackberry ale, I think. They do flights. Either 4 choice or ALL of them. I laughed, really? I had one and it was enough. If I had a ride I would love to hang out and drink more. Super comfortable place with board games too. Doggy friendly patio out front. Signage explaining rules for the kiddos if you bring them. For a person who goes to brewery sans children, I appreciate that. They don't serve food here but I think you can bring food. Drink good beer and enjoy your life. SYOY!

The beer we tried were great, the food was quite well done - highly recommend soup and bahn mi, the pretzel was nice but the cheese sauce could use some improvements / might be better off with mustard / the salad was average but fresh. 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.

The staff are all lovely humans, the space is welcoming and trendy. I don't really drink much anymore but when I did, I absolutely adored their sour beers!

The main menu has a great variety: our favourites are the poké bowl, big bowl with noodles and chicken and the chicken parm burger!

It had a firepit on the table but the heat didn't quite reach us and it was such a cold night. We still got to listen to the entertainment. It was like having our own private area, The only part that lost a star rating is making people go inside to order and pay for our order, like cafeteria style. There is only one person taking the orders and it took forever. However, a waitress will bring the food to your table display the large number on a stand, like you would receive in a cafeteria or mall. So weird. The food was MEH, however. The beer was very bitter, not to our liking at all. I just enjoyed the ambience of the place and the friendly staff, just not the way of how to order food.

Phillips was long on my list of breweries to try and despite Canada being very close to where we are located trips there remain highly infrequent. So finally getting to try some more breweries from the north was an extra perk to our trip! The beer that Steve and I had from this brewery was the TILT Lager and it proved itself to be a good one also! With a nice breadiness and a natural sweetness to it. There is a clean and crisp finish to this beer which we always enjoy experiencing with beers. This beer is light bodied and is easy to have more than one of but we behaved ourselves and shared this refreshing lager.
