I am in Woodstock for work, and a colleague suggested I give this place a try. What an awesome…read moreplace! There is an outside patio, and a large open interior space - definitely a bit of a biergarden feel to it. You go to the bar to order your food and drinks, and tell the server where you are sitting. They then bring the food out to you. Let's talk about the food! More specifically, let's talk about the poutine! I'm not Canadian, but I have had poutine before - and theirs might be the best I have ever had. The gravy was amazing, you could tell they add beer when they are making it. I also tried their regular cheeseburger - cooked perfectly, juicy, and delicious. If I hadn't had the poutine, I'd give it high marks for the burger alone. Don't sleep on this place, it's great. Now, I don't consume alcohol, so I can't comment on the quality of their beer - but my work colleague said it was very good. I did try their vanilla soda - and it was really good. High marks all around!

April 23/2023: This was a 100% low to mediocre meal…read more The place was busy but not jammed. it seemed to be a low end family restaurant. It was a "seat yourself", order your food & pick up your own drinks brewpub. The server themselves seemed to be doing little except deliver your food & clear the tables. My food was the TexMex Nacho Wrap ($17.00) w waffle fries. It SHOULD have been piping hot cause it took 45 minutes for us to get our food!! Instead, it was lukewarm with not much taste to it to boot! This was disappointing as the menu (attached) LOOKED very nice but the food disappointed. Our server(s) were less then polite & it kinda turned me off from the get go. As a seasoned restaurant goer...go somewhere else...this wasn't good. To the restaurant owner(s)...do a better job for crying out loud!

Black Swan offered a nice selection of beer and a small food menu. We ordered peanuts to go with our beer. The beer is definitely the star of the show here. You can order a flight with 4 or 5 beers and they are clearly marked on the flight. The service was good and staff were friendly. We enjoy sitting for about an hour and took a six pack to go. There was a study stream of people buying beer to go. We did not realize there was a strike which was causing shortages of beer and alcohol in stores.

This is absolutely one of my favorite places to stop in for a drink. What's better than sitting in an apple orchard on a beautiful day drinking some amazing beer? Add in live music, a food truck, good company and you've got yourself a time. My personal favorite is the... *swoon*... Strawberry Cider, and by the way it was flying outta the keg at the local Bayfield Beerfest this year, then the locals definitely agree with me on that one. The property itself is beautiful. Quaint and quiet. Serene but still funky. Lots of parking and easily accessible off highway 21. Activities and games for the kids to play as well. I'm also 99% sure they offer boondocking so if that's something you're into camping/trailer wise, do look it up. Washrooms are large, clean and gender neutral. Have I mentioned how lovely the owners are and how welcoming their staff is? If you spot the owners, ask for the story of how this place came to be. It's a goodie.

I was a regular at Block 3 when I lived in Waterloo. Well, if I'm honest, I was there all the time…read moreand they should have charged me rent. You might think beer was my primary motivation, and in the beginning it was. Block 3 is a small batch craft brewery that delivers on tasty beer. They generally have ten to twelve beers on tap ranging from lagers, ales, sours and sometimes a stout. They are all delicious in their own right although drinking barrel aged fruited sours is an acquired taste in my book, but trust me try them and you may learn to love them. But why else should you go? There is limited food (it's a brewery not a restaurant), no TV's to watch the game, a steady stream of classic rock playing in the background, kids running around and a few dogs to greet you on the way in. To make matters worse the cell reception is awful, my wife always had a hard time reaching me. Hmm, maybe that's not all bad... What kind of place is this, anyway? It's a modern twist on an old fashioned FAMILY oriented brewery, that's what! There are plenty of board games to play, the local regulars are always happy to share some stories, and the staff are the coolest people around. They have a great Mug Club and if you are lucky you get your own hand-thrown pottery mug with your name on it! Very cool... As I mentioned in one of my check-ins, Block 3 is a benchmark craft brewery experience. I can't recommend this place highly enough,

Four of us shared one of the $15 wood fired pizzas. We each had 2 slices. Thin crust, tasty and just right for a snack. Thumbs up for that! I wish we could be as positive about the beers. One of our group had the wheat beer that was brewed on site and liked it. Two of us shared a flight that included a stout, amber ale, kombucha and cider. I honestly can't recall which were brewed by Jobsite, but I think the amber and stout were. Neither was great. The amber was too bitter for my taste. The kombucha was just plain nasty. We all agreed, even the person who brews for a hobby said she's had much better kombucha at her beer club. The cider was the clear winner, but it was rather tasteless. It needed more fruit or something. So, while it's good to have an alternative to Black Swan in town, I hope the brewers here get better product soon. I'd go back for the pizza, but not for the beer.

You might never heard of them as they are not available at LCBO and only on taps in a handful of local bars/restaurants in the area.
