Food isn't what they do here, although they do have it available simply due to liquor laws in NS. If you're here to review the food, you may as well move along because it's just to satisfy the law and not your huge gut. Now that we got that out of the way, this is a really great spot in a bit of an industrial location. The patio sits right over the river so you can watch the tide come in right from your seat with your beer. There is lots on tap. Everything is free to try and then you can head outside to the HUGE patio on varying levels to enjoy your pint of your favourite sample. Lots of merch in store if that's your thing. Eat before you come, have a pint, enjoy the view and you'll be happy as a clam. Not much else to say, really.

An absolutely beautiful spot on the 221 with LOADS of space to hang out. So much awesome seating from picnic benches to fire pit areas. Lots of grass and it's great if you want to bring kiddos because there's fun games laid out and bubbles at the entrance. Another great reason to sit outside is that they've got lots of sunscreen available at the entrance for you to use so no worries if you forgot yours! The taproom is just another beautiful spot where you can pull up a stool and drink your worries away. It's long and narrow with a few other options for seating so not really great for crowds - you want to take that party outside. Speaking of parties, this is THE place to hang out on the weekends, especially Friday. Check their social media pages to see what's going on and check out the music, food truck and themed event. There's no food here unless you're here on a weekend with a food truck so be sure to eat or pack a picnic first and then head on over to grab some really great beer or cider. We were quite surprised by the delicious summer lime seltzer and I think we found our new favourite place!

It was also the middle of the summer and all the windows were closed and their one small A/C unit was not enough to cool down the place. Everyone working seemed oblivious to this issue and made it impossible to stay and try to enjoy the meal. I ordered the Korean Beef Noodles and was deeply dissatisfied with the meal. We cut our stay short and asked to carry everything out due to the ac issue, but I wasn't tempted to touch my food and it just went in the garbage.

Our visit was short since we already had lunch reservations elsewhere, but I'm really glad we stopped by. As soon as you walk in, you definitely still get the feeling of being inside a church, with so many original features and details preserved. We even sat near the "altar," which made the experience even more unique and enjoyable. The ambiance felt almost holy, in the best and funniest way possible. I loved how they transformed the space into a brewery and restaurant while still keeping its character intact. Our server was incredibly nice and attentive. We ordered the chicken tostadas with jalapeño crema, and they were absolutely delicious. The beer was great as well! I ordered a sour beer that I really enjoyed, although unfortunately I can't remember the name of it.

We got a bit of hype because of the Bluenose Commemorative beer (which was fine), but everything we tried seemed pretty light and almost catering to the millennials who don't like beer but want to be seen at these kinds of places. No major complaints but it would be great if some food options were available. They did have bags of chips but they weren't even local so that was a little surprising. They do have some fun merch so check it out as long as there's staff. The one person working there looked very overwhelmed so we didn't stick around to order more. Free wifi if needed.

**Disappointing visit, and the service made it worse**…read more We visited Bent Ridge on Father's Day hoping for a relaxed family afternoon, and left genuinely frustrated, mostly because of how we were treated. We ordered the Grilled Watermelon Salad ($21.50). The menu describes it as grilled watermelon, fresh berries, red onion and mint on a bed of arugula. What arrived was essentially a bowl of arugula and spinach with red onion and a sprinkle of feta, and almost no watermelon to speak of. When we politely pointed this out, the second server who took the salad back was lovely about it and said she'd check with the kitchen. That's where it went downhill. She returned with the primary server, who was dismissive from the start. We were told they could add watermelon on the side, but only as an upcharge. We declined. We were then told we'd be charged for the original salad regardless. Fine, we said, charge us, but we don't need it back. Despite that, the salad reappeared at the table with a tiny cup of watermelon, and the response was a flat "well, it's already here." When we asked whether this is really what a watermelon salad is meant to be, since we've had this dish at plenty of other restaurants and it has never been arugula with a few cubes of watermelon hidden in it, the answer was that the watermelon is "just like the berries, a little topping." At that point we cleared our own plates onto the side table for them to collect. What needs to be said plainly is this: we were a group of 12 with a bill of around $700. Paying was never the issue, and a $21 salad is no big deal. But the audacity of the server to assume we were doing all this just to haggle a salad out of them was ridiculous. We can't tell a kitchen how to build their salad, and tastes vary. But the watermelon is named first in the dish, it arrived in nowhere near the quantity advertised, and being upsold to get the main ingredient is hard to defend. Speaking to paying customers that way is simply not acceptable. And of course, she did remember to add the 18% gratuity for her tremendous service. To top it off, we'd brought a cake to celebrate Father's Day and asked if we could cut it. We were told no outside food allowed, full stop. The Annapolis Valley has no shortage of excellent wineries where a family can actually feel welcome and enjoy the afternoon. We won't be returning to this one.

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.
