But at least early evenings it's been tough to sit outside in this weather. I wonder if a large fan or misters would help? Food seemed acceptable although somewhat limited and basic. Charcuterie board was okay but nothing on it overly special. Need to do a better job updating website. Not everyone has Facebook or Instagram. For example tonight was "80's night" but the website had it as July 31st, a week ago. And in the graphic it was listed as 7pm to 11pm but on the events calendar 6:45pm to 10:45pm. I also see an upcoming murder mystery dinner for August 29th that is not even listed on the events calendar. Closing due to private events should also be clearly communicated. Clarity and correctness matters. Then on tonight's bill there was an extra $5 added to a $12 glass of wine. On the requested receipt, it looks like maybe a glass charge? Which was never offered or accepted. And unfortunately since they hand you a handheld electronic device as your "bill" with only the grand total showing instead of the itemized bill, it's difficult to figure out what you're paying for. I will be back. I want this place to succeed. But there is definitely room for improvement.

Someone comes around frequently to clear glasses and plates. Our table got a sampling of all the Munchies, Nachos, chicken wings, brussels sprouts, chicken tenders, fries, pretzel bites, and fried cauliflower. My favorites are the French fries - they are crispy with just the right amount of seasoning. The pretzel bites are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, I like them plain but they come with mustard and cheese sauce. Great beers on draft and in cans to take home. Good food

When we visited (right before Christmas), there was Christmas music playing and The Grinch movie up without sound. My boyfriend got a heavy pour flight of 4 different meads for $18. He liked the mead and left with two bottles. I thought it was very cold inside (definitely a dissatisfier for me). Also, it was quite loud between the talking, music and game machines.

We tried sitting outside but when that wasn't working he quickly found us an available seat indoors to make us comfortable. We ordered for appetizers the cowgirl dinner flight which consisted of truffle fries, Mac and cheese and Caesar salad and one drink (raspberry lemon drop) this appetizer can feed two ppl easily! Smoked buffalo wings seasoned to perfection as well. Also a caramel apple cider was ordered , great flavors that blended perfectly. This campus has plenty of direction to venture in. The Farmstead distillery, the Tavern and the field. The Farmstead is where the spooky saloon is housed. Plenty of seating high top/ bar and couches . Restroom clean. Separate menu of food and drinks. All the spooky concoctions you could dream of. Bartender made the drinks with precision and speed. The tavern is the restaurant based areas. Outside dining as well. The field has movie night with Halloween classics. Tonight movie was Beetlejuice. Screens were through out the venue. Pumpkin patch, slides and plenty of picturesque moments.

Caveat: reviewed based on multiple experiences during COVID from October 2020-March 2021…read more Beer list: extensive draft selection and variety. Lines are clean and cared for, and beer selection is clearly curated by someone who is passionate and knowledgeable about craft beer. They are also a brewery and generally have several of their own beers on tap. They do multiple size options at good prices, so you can really take advantage of a nice day out doing some tastings. They also have some canned / bottled beer and do crowler fills. Bar: it's a brewery. Bar is limited. There are a few good liquors available, mostly whiskey and bourbon, with some ciders, seltzers, and possibly a wine or two available. This isn't the place to get a mimosa or a Bloody Mary. It's a brewery. Food: again, they're a brewery, not a gastropub, and do not have a full kitchen. Food is limited to Friday and Saturday (I believe), but is surprisingly good and reasonably priced. Owner seems to continually try to improve selections, and on Fridays during lent has started doing Fish Frys (which were exceptionally good!). If you go in expecting bar-snack type food, you won't be disappointed. There are full restaurants within walking distance. Atmosphere: there are TVs and games, but none of them are loud and in your face. Tables are plenty and well-spaced / distanced, with comfortable seating available. Patio seating is also available. Noise level is generally low enough that you can easily have a conversation. Tables, bar, and bathrooms are clean. Comfortable and welcoming feel. Parking is generally available with a large lot shared with other businesses. Staff: you will generally see the same staff, limited to the owner, bartender, and cook. Which is great, because they are all fantastic. Here's the thing...staff is absolutely genuine. My experiences with the staff have been overwhelmingly positive, but my impression is also that they wouldn't hesitate to put an end to poor behavior. Be nice, be civil, and behave...or be elsewhere. If that appeals to you, then you'll have a great time at Exit 6...which I really appreciate as a patron. Overall: I've formed my above opinions over a few months since moving to the area. After our second visit, they recognized us. After our third, they greeted us by name. After that, I noticed many of the same faces at the tables and bar...and there is a reason for that: the staff creates a comfortable space, with high quality beer and service, at good prices. Think epitome of the classic friendly neighborhood bar. Honest, genuine, and not pretentious.

The chicken was cooked well and the fries were tasty. Will definitely come back as it's a cute spot and we can bring our pupper.
