Why would you charge at brewery on Friday night to sit outside and spend your money when the food ends at 8:00 and it is light outside and music goes on for 2 more hours. Totally mismanaged .

The place was about 1/4 full, should have been packed on a beautiful summer eve.They lost probably $200 in food and beverage purchases from the 8 people that walked away. Such bad management.

We…read moreordered a big flight to try as much as possible and ended up leaving with even more beer to enjoy later. Some standout brews for us were QueerBerry, All Lit Up, Hawaiian Crush, PB&J, Hoppy Boy, and Georgia Peach--so many fun and flavourful options. And it's not just the beer that caught my eye--I loved the merch so much, I left with a cool purple graphic tee that I'll definitely be rocking back home. Also dog-friendly! So we'll be bringing our pup here when we're back in the area. If you're brewery-hopping in Halifax, don't skip this one!

I have had a number of issues with bar staff refusing to serve me water. They stated that their tap…read morewater was bad and so they sold 500ml Big 8 bottles for 2 dollars. So I went to meet up with my friends, and brought my own water bottle because I dont think it's right to be made to pay for water. The man behind the bar stormed across the floor, yelling at me that I couldn't have it in there And that it was against liquor laws. I understand that, and so I told the bar tender why I had brought my own bottle, after being refused water before and he says "oh that doesn't happen here". I've never been treated so disrespectfully by any food/ drink establishment before. My friends agreed that the way I was spoken to was completely unacceptable. Revolting experience, and quite upsetting to be treated the way I was. I will never return and will recommend patrons and musical acts to not support this establishment.

The patio itself is really great with lots of seating but it just feels weird sitting around in a stinky parking lot. The other reason is the very limited food menu. It's fine if you're just coming for a beer and only went a snack, but considering how great the beer is and how far you are from most other places, more seafood options would be great. Lots of free parking and staff is great. Come for the beer and sit on the patio (go inside for service and to order first).

It's great to live close to a place like Sea Level Brewing. In the same building as The Port Pub,…read moreSea Level provides their microbrewed beer. With nice range of beer ranging from ales to porter. There is a regular selection of 4 core brews (Planters Pale Ale, Rojo Mojo Red Ale, Blue Heron Extra Special Bitter, and Port in a Storm Porter) with an interesting seasonal beer (the most recent one was Dussel-Port Altbier) to keep things interesting. Brewmaster Randy Lawrence is friendly and cares about the beer that he makes. For locals there are refillable growlers (1 L bottles) and there are individual 650 mL bottles. They also have party kegs if you need more beer. Being able to have locally-brewed beer made with local ingredients is one of the very nice parts of living in a beautiful agricultural area with people who are committed to making great things where they live.

I arrived and asked the woman helping us to tell me a…read morelittle bit about the beers and she was completely clueless about every single one. so much so, that she grabbed the sheet, clearly made for staff use and told me to read it to learn about the beer. They also do not fill any growlers that aren't their own (unheard of for micro breweries.. i consider it a hobby to travel to different breweries and fill existing growlers). She then suggested i could get some different cans BUT didn't tell me they only sell 6 packs of each one. the entire point of a craft brewery is sampling different ones. if the woman serving me had been helpful or friendly that would have compensated for their other short comings.

If you like cigars, this IBA was a nice companion to a Cuban Bolivar.

Too bright, no real design or "comfort" feeling and the large windows seem to just take away the pub feel and you feel like you are in a fish tank.

These improvements are likely to come down the road, and I hope it's soon. I want this to be my hideaway.

Across the valley from the Martock ski hills, it's a small winery/brewery, which also caters for all manner of events, including weddings. We visited on a mostly sunny, warmish August Friday at the start of the Labour Day weekend. Essentially it's a restaurant and a very pleasant one at that. There is a smallish bar/galley area inside, with a covered, all weather and all year round solarium attached, a small patio and lawn beyond that. They offer beer/cider and wine samplers which I'd strongly recommend. I went for the four reds they produce, and thoroughly enjoyed them all, especially the 1763 Unhinged. The menu is quite extensive, and we went for a pizza each, Bent Ridge Belly for me, Fig and Onion for the wife. Both were delicious and of generous size. I tried their ginger infused rough cider, which was excellent and quite novel. I was also treated to a gratis glass of the Maple Porter. The restaurant affords pleasant views across the valley and is nicely appointed, with a variety of seating and can cater for fairly large groups. Service was a delight and the eventual bill of almost exactly $100 not onerous by today's standards. Will definitely have to visit again. And this time I'll take a growler and buy some of their craft beer.

Ordered drinks and was told that dinner would take at least 30 mins. No problem. We received the drinks and our bruschetta appetizer and was immediately forgotten about. Th bruschetta was great. Goat cheese and balsamic were perfect on the crispy warm bread. Finally had to YELL at our waiter to remove the dirty plates and refill our wine glasses. One friend ordered the natchos. Honestly, these were the most pathetic plate of natchos I've ever seen. No salsa! Wth? Natchos with no salsa?! He ate a few then sadly set them aside. The watermelon salad was actually an arugula salad with watermelon. I wanted the fig and carmelized onion pizza but sadly it was sold out. Ordered the margharita pizza. Came with a very tasty sauce on a cardboard crust. In their defence, I'm from Toronto. We have killer good pizza all over Toronto. They need to visit Badiali's to find out what real pizza crust should taste like. My daughter ordered the pepperoni pizza and unfortunately said the pepperoni tasted like cut up hotdogs. Good gawd. I did enjoy the ambiance and the music but the food left a lot to be desired.
