    Cool vibe, friendly people, the crowd is low key. They had a little pizza truck on site serving pizza. It was good.

    Beer was ok, not very cold. Great outside patio area. Live music too loud. But others seemed to enjoy it

The service was excellent, the cook and the waitress were very kind and friendly and made you feel welcomed. They also offer board games for you to play while waiting for your food. This was a lot of fun and we enjoyed a game of Scrabble while we waited. In which, I did beat my husband, but that's a different story. ;-) they had water, coolers and glasses outside while we waited for the doors to open. My husband said the bathroom was clean. Cons: Unfortunately, we aren't quite sure how this place has won best pizza! We have eaten a lot of pizza in our day and this pizza was no better than a frozen pizza you buy in the grocery store. The crust tasted like cardboard, literally. There was no flavor to it at all. I ordered a supreme with hamburger, and the toppings did not cover the whole pizza. There were several pieces that there were no toppings except for cheese halfway through the pizza to the crust. My husband ordered a supreme with pepperoni and sausage and half of his pizza did not have sausage on it. Our waitress was so kind and apologetic for messing the order up that she gave us a discount. For two 12 inch pizzas and two Dr Peppers, (which come in the bottle) our cost was $66 (this included the tip). I'm not sure how their other food tastes. I did notice they were bringing out pretzel appetizers to another table as we were leaving, and they were very much overdone! All in all, we enjoyed being able to play a game without feeling rushed and the friendly staff. As far as the food; meh, save your "dough" and go somewhere else!

    ** For those who are neurodivergent, have ASD, social anxiety, etc. **…read moreThe parking is spread out, so it's not overwhelming. There is one entry to the building on the West middle side. They have glass doors, so you can see the volume of people inside first. The bathroom is uniquely placed at the South West corner of the building and, even better, has a half wall so you can quietly retreat out of view, if necessary. You can either order and pay at the bar right at the entry, or there is an outdoor bar as well. I will note, the outdoor bar is more crowded, louder, it is more difficult to hear and be heard by the bartender. I prefer the indoor bar when it is less crowded. The menu is not extensive, so it's simple to order from. There are food trucks available at multiple spots outside, so it is easy to order and not feel too crowded. I've attended twice and the staff are very kind. At the tables in the immediate outdoor space that is enclosed in winter, the patrons are usually extremely loud because it is a small space. This can be problematic for those with sensory issues around noise. However, when it's good weather and open to the outdoors there are extensive options for seating with a variety of types of chairs. One can easily find a spot a bit further from the crowds for a more relaxed and quieter experience. When the outdoors are open to patrons there is another entrance that is a few feet from the main West entrance to the building. This makes for a great secondary option to leave without passing through the thicker crowds seated nearer the bar. However, often a food truck is placed at that entrance which can feel a bit overwhelming. The only change I would make is that they don't provide ice water and there aren't other options to beer if that's not something you are into or you don't drink very much. I think that would be a great improvement to their business model. I highly recommend this location compared to other bar experiences in the Springfield, Battlefield, Republic area.

Yet they do have limited seating indoors (Ac/heat) and about the same limited seating under the patio (heaters only) but most is outdoors, like 1.3 acres worth. Outdoors has two music stages and plenty of seating. Dogs are usually welcomed as long as they behave, except at some special events where ADA dogs are only allowed. Beers are plentiful with more than 8 beers on tap. For those that aren't beer lovers they have a couple frozen drink options that are always tasty. Food trucks vary from day to day but the best way to keep up on trucks is follow their FB page. The owners are super nice and down to earth. They are always doing charity events which is awesome. Don't miss Oktoberfest which is super fun with multiple food trucks! I frequent this establishment about once every two weeks, even more when the weather is nice.

    First of all, if you go in to this place expecting a brewery, like I did, then you will be very…read moredisappointed. This is not a brewery. This is a bar that happens to sell beer made by someone like a home brewer. And not good beer at that. They have 4 options to pick from. We tried the fancy water and the Irish red. Both were extremely flat. I haven't had a flat beer in a while but that certainly affects the taste of the beer that should have a bit of foam on the top and these didn't have any. Second both beers were absolutely disgusting. If we didn't order food, this would be a 1 star review based on the horrible beer and Coyote Ugly type decor that doesn't match what an actual brewery should look like. It was smelly (like cigarettes) and weirdly uncomfortable. I go to bars often but this one caught me off guard since I was expecting a brewery type experience. The second star is from the food. They have some typical bar food and we got a variety of dishes. We got chili cheese fries that were amazing, fried green beans that were yummy served with a thick ranch dressing, the hot dog wrapped in cream cheese and a tortilla and fried and the chili dog. The food was all really good, however it didn't outweigh the horrible beers. I visit the Springfield area often but I doubt I will ever be back to this place.

    Unfortunately our tabs are not lining up to being consistent, even when specials are included. It…read moredoes make it hard when there's not an actual itemized bill. This is a bar I've enjoyed coming to when I come home for the holidays and it was not the place this year with being constant.
