Gord and I had supper at Big Tide Brewing Co. on Friday evening…read more Gord had Coquilles Saint John (Our version of Coquille St. Jacques is a decadent combination of haddock, shrimp & scallops in a white cream sauce surrounded by fries and a veg medley) and enjoyed it. I had Pepperoni Mac and Cheese (Made in-house creamy mac and cheese tossed with Maritime made Chris Brothers pepperoni), which was really good. Rachel was helpful and took good care of us.

Our server was waiting on us as well and some tablet outside and she forgot about us. After we got her attention she came right over and apologized for zoning out : ) Ordered the loaded fries with chicken and the three item snack pack with bacon garlic fingers, maple bacon meatballs and pierogi. Also ordered three of the breweries beers-whistle pig stout, Irish red and strong ale. (6:15pm) The loaded fries was a HUGE serving...crispy fries with plenty of toppings. It was plenty for three to share along with the other appetizers. The pierogis were delicious and cooked great. The bacon garlic fingers were well cooked (least favorite). The meatballs were amazing!! The glaze and bacon made it my favorite of all!! One warning... This is a bar and some of the regular patrons use the most interesting language with freeness and ease....may be a little off putting for some guest

Came in during a cruise port stop and came across this awesome brewery that just opened this week!…read moreThey were so friendly and had so much to offer with 20 beers on tap. Currently, there were 9 beers of their own and 11 guest taps ... many were hop-forward and we really enjoyed their NE IPAs the best (maybe not as hazy as others, but still very flavorful). So glad we stumbled on this place and looking forward to coming back next year to see how much they'll grow!!

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. Absolutely horrible experience…read more We arrived around 10:30 am on a Wednesday. There was no one else in the restaurant. The two ladies working seemed like they didn't want to be there. They acted like we weren't customers and they didn't need to serve us. They acted like we were some sort of burden to them. We were seated and then they never came back. We were seated in the bar area and they were standing at the bar chatting so loudly we could hear their entire conversation about their lives and how miserable they were. We had to ask for coffee. It took forever to come. We had to tell them we were ready to order because it seemed like they didn't want to take our order. I ordered the chicken and waffle. It was disgusting. Zero flavor. I don't even know how that is possible. I added salt and it still was tasteless. My husband ordered the coconut French toast. He liked it. But it looked like it was on very thin sandwich bread. My mom ordered the breakfast sandwich. It had no flavor and it was cold. The potatoes were cold and dry. Would absolutely never come back here and would not recommend to anyone.

Drinks were very affordable and the homemade chips with sour cream were a perfect late night snack.read more

After taking only a few sips ... it tasted way too malty and nothing like any hoppy IPA we've ever had. The only saving grace (and bumped up stars) ... is that they were nice enough to change our DIPA for a session IPA (still not great, but much better). They don't serve food but there's a fantastic wood-fired pizza place next door with some shared space both inside and outdoors.

This ended up being where we found the BEST beer suited to our tastes ... Trailway Seeing Citra (6% hazy NEIPA - best beer DH had all cruise anywhere) and Loyalist City Lupulus Interruptus (8.2% tasty DIPA - which I enjoyed immensely). They also had a $25 cruise special for a 45 minute axe throwing session that included a 20 oz. British pint of any beer on tap. What could be wrong with that?!?! We enjoyed it all so much that we ended up staying at this place for over 4 hours drinking the awesome beer (but they do also serve wine and other mixed drinks) ... and for an additional 1.5 hour session of axe throwing. We left Saint John vowing to try axe throwing when we get home ... but just hope there's also good beer there as well!
