You can tell it the original one, as it's small and a little dated compared to the others that are near. But it's kinda cozy. We sat at the bar, and that's where they excelled. Our bartender Hallie, was fantastic! Best one we have had in a long time. Super nice, super informative. I had the Margherita Pizza, never have had one at a B.G. It was ok. Very saucy. Husband had the Fried Chicken Sandwich with Korean BBQ sauce. He has gotten that at the others and enjoys that sandwich a lot especially that sauce.

The beer is obviously really good too. HD creates a good variety of beers to choose from and if you don't drink beer they do have a cooler with hard ciders and other drinks along with a few non alcoholic options. In the summer they have bands on the weekend and a canopy over most of the outdoor seating. In the winter the have igloos to keep warm. They don't have a kitchen so no food except free popcorn and a snack bowl of mixed nuts. You can buy a few things to eat like peanuts and beef jerky. Th location is just off the Cedar Valley Nature Trail so this is a good location for those that bike or hike on the trail. There is a large bike rack to accommodate those individuals. This is a must visit if you are in the area.

It was their grand opening weekend, but unfortunately they were still waiting on their brewers license so they only had guests beers on tap. While they don't serve food, they did have a good truck available for those who wanted to eat. When you walk in, it's not real big, and it was crowded because if the opening. I'm sure at other times it would be quite cozy. There are about 4 tables and bar seating with the brewery off to one side. The staff was very friendly even in light of them being swamped. I had a beer and chatted with one of the owners. I'm looking forward to trying their beers and getting back when it's not so crowded

The menu has a huge variety from soups & salads to burgers & sandwiches to pasta and stir fr, along with their selection of brews, wine and cocktails. We tried the classic burger and Thai peanut stir fry. The burger was cooked as requested, juicy and just the right size. The accompanying fries were just the right crispness and saltiness. The stir fry dish was really flavorful with lots of veggies, chicken and rice. The serving size was enough to bring home for another meal! I'm looking forward to going back and checking out their Sunday brunch soon.

But we are here for the Iowa v Iowa State football game on a beautiful Saturday and there are literally four people in the bar.

I think three strikes and I'm out. Off to Parlor City with better beer, food, and awesome wait staff. I bet the doors are locked on this place within six months.
