Ambience, old world charm and I'll be back...maybe tomorrow :)) (I talked to the owner, and there is no sauce on the hot brie plate. It's just liquid from the cheese and fruit...wow!!)

Non-Alcoholic Drink that is must try was the Hibiscus Gimlet it's a House-made hibiscus tea, pomegranate, fresh lime & demerara Entrees: Top Steak pick--Chimichurri 8 OZ butcher's steak with broccoli & herb roasted potatoes. Topped with house-made chimichurri of parsely, cilantro, oregano, jalapeños, garlic, olive oil & vinegar. It was juicy, tender and savory. I recommend ordering it at medium temp. Burger lovers pick-Messi Argentinian chorizo, aged provolone, chimichurri, & fried onions with a fried egg with French fries. Perfect at medium rare temp. For kids: Chicken tenders and fries was great the kids loved it.

The menu is eclectic in the best way -- you can go comfort‑food heavy or fully vegan and still end up with something flavorful. The black bean burger and goat cheese wontons are especially worth the hype. The vibe is artsy, lively, and a little chaotic, but in a way that makes the experience fun rather than stressful. Service can be unhurried during busy hours, yet the staff stays friendly and attentive. Overall, it's a great place to settle in, enjoy good food, and soak up Gainesville's character.

My food was pretty room temp already by the time I got it, and the fries were cold unfortunately. Sucks because they were seasoned great, but I hate cold fries... I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich for dinner, and it was ok. I liked the pesto aioli sauce on it, but the actual chicken was pretty overcooked and dry. Probably from sitting on the warmer for so long since it wasn't hot either. Overall I'm not sure if I would come back to eat here, it seems a bit too pricey for the quality of food and service we received. But maybe brunch is better?

Prices weren't too bad for downtown. Jukebox was not too loud so we were able to carry on a conversation. This bar does allow smoking indoors, one of the few left. While I'm not a regular smoker, I do enjoy an occasional smoke with a glass of bourbon neat. My friends enjoy a cigar with a beer or bourbon too. Ignore the negative comments about smoking. Don't understand why people would leave a negative comment when everyone knows this place allows indoor smoking!! There are a few tables outside street side so you can sit there too and people watch. We had a great time and will return again sometime.

The outside area is spacious and a great place to hang out and drink a beer. Just a really nice setup with a laid-back vibe. Their Honey Bee Citrus Blonde Ale was the highlight for me. That beer has officially moved into my top 5. I could drink it all day and honestly, I pretty much did since I found it on tap at a few other places while I was in Gainesville. Now I'm hoping I can find it somewhere near me in Orlando. Overall, great brewery, great outdoor space, and an amazing beer. I'd definitely go back.

(Please note these photos are of an event, and they do not have vendors outside every day. Their Facebook posts all their events.) The brewery doors were open, so you get to peek inside and see where they make the beer. The staff was working extremely proficient, and I never waited more than a few minutes for a draft. Parking was a breeze, and we arrived right at event start. The beer was fantastic, and mine even contained honey! Colby got the sugar and spice, and he loved it, and says it was "verrrrry good." I even got to share some of my stickers with the world, so thank you for a chill family day, my teen even enjoyed herself. We can't wait to return.

They do a 3 course meal and the portions were great for the cost. We started off with the Pea soup and wedge salad, and got free focaccia bread made in house. Then we decided to try the lamb and NY strip - very good, but warning the lamb has some strong marinade. Finally we got the chocolate fudge cake and chocolate coconut cake - rating those 7/10. The fudge was definitely better. The service was fast, friendly, and very personal. We went on Valentine's Day so it was packed, and still had our food order taken and served very quick. Loved the vibe, will warn that vegetarian options are not really available though if that's what you're looking for!
