    Decided to go here for dinner one night with family that was visiting & it was great! Trying to figure out the service though, was a little confusing at first. It's hard to tell who works there and where to go. You have to scan a QR code to view the menu & then go order inside. You get a buzzer that tells you when your food is ready then. It's just a different system, but very efficient! We had outdoor patio seating, where there's good heating, even on a chilly night. The string lights gave the place a nice aesthetic feel too & it was a cozy environment! The food is also great & I loved that they had a tofu sandwich for non-meat eaters! It was very flavorful, but a little spicy. There must have been some peppers that I missed seeing. Sweet potato fries were also yummy! The portion size was perfect. Would definitely love to go back here!

    This is our favorite brewery in town. It is so fun with a large outdoor area with SO much seating. There's also a ton of seating inside if the weather is bad. They change the menu weekly and also offer brunch on the weekends. The beer flights are a must try. We love taking our family here when they visit. Their burgers are my favorite. We come here often and always have a blast. It is very family friendly and they allow dogs outdoors. The servers are great and they even come around outside to take your dirty plates and glasses.

    If you're going to have someone work the front to take orders, a friendly staff member would be nice. As a first timer, we misunderstood the menu and you could obviously tell it made her annoyed right off the bat. Instead of explaining it, she was snarky and took everything in us not to just walk out. So feeling rushed, had to order off a whole separate menu we didn't have time to review. Crazy, because the reviews always rave about the place but the experience could've definitely been better. The food was great for the better part of it. Wings were crispy. Not many options on sauces. The burger was a good size and fries weren't overcooked or greasy. The inside is spacious, and the seating outside is great. Pet friendly outdoors as well, which is a plus.

    The view from "The Garden"... Our favorite area

    This place has it all. Friendly staff, great next-level bar food, a ton of stuff on draft and TVs is your a sports person. Want to sit indoors? Check! Outdoors? Check! Outdoors, but covered? Check! Outdoors, but kid-free? Check! Give it a try. I don't think you'll regret it.

    Brunch Tacos and slaw
    Jess H.

    What a great place! This was our second time coming for brunch, and we'll definitely go back again! The staff is really nice and caring, and the good came out really fast! Honestly, it was so fast that our pickle dip came out the same time as the entree, so we didn't really get to eat it hot. Next time, we'll order in stages. The food is excellent. The recipes are creative, though be ready as there is a little heat from the chorizo! Everything was well cooked and fair portions. The slaw was interesting as it had a more earthy taste, and we thought it might have been sesame seeds and oil? I wish I had seen the pepperoni rolls they had at the register because they looked amazing. Their beer is top notch and they have a really wide variety. The Weiss Decision is my favorite! My friend also got the Starry Night drink, and it was delicious, well mixed, and really balanced in the flavors (not too mention how pretty it was). For dessert, house made, fresh chocolate chip cookies!! There large and so delicious. Since we were there early in the day, they were even still warm!!!

    Counter service only; delicious burgers, nice huge spacious indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly staff; great outdoor picnic like setting. I'm sure their variety of beers are excellent!!

    Classic chicken sandwich and howler bowls for the girls.

    Great food and outdoor area! Our girls (dogs) even got lunch and ate every bite. They cut our sandwich as we were splitting it and brought out at extra plate. Habanero fries were wonderful.

    Unbelievable Selection

    Excellent BrewPub serving delicious pub grub, happy hour specials and a wide selection of craft beer. We ordered and took our beer outside and sat at one of the open picnic tables. Very nice space and very relax atmosphere. I had a Belgium Quad and ate the BadAss Burger with a side of onion rings which was awesome. Inside is also spacious with Big Screen TVs all around. Great pub to eat and drink and hang with friends.

    Consistently good fresh food and great outdoor setting. I tried a pre-mix cocktail tonight and it was actually quite good. Staff are super and attentive!

Craft cocktails and house beers served at a bustling wood-heavy bar, playful signage, local flair, and a relaxed but rowdy Southern vibe. The bartender bursting with Southern personality stands behind the rich, wood-worn bar, confident and radiant. Her sleeves are rolled up, a few loose strands of hair catching the daylight as she moves with effortless rhythm. A warm, knowing smile spreads across her face as she happily serves a jug of the house-made egg nog. Soon after, she prepares a crafty Old Fashioned--measuring the bourbon, stirring clear ice in a heavy rocks glass, perfectly embodying the brewery's quirky southern soul and big-hearted attitude. There's a lived-in comfort to the space: scuffed wood that tells stories, sunlight pooling across tables, and small-town pride in every detail. The atmosphere is welcoming and unpretentious, equal parts gathering place and second home. It's where locals come not just for the beer or cocktails, but for the familiarity--the nods, the shared jokes, the sense of belonging that keeps them hanging around long after the glass is empty. Cheers!

The decor was very earthy tones and welcoming. I can't wait to go back and increase my Star rating. I did get a sample of a beer on tap and the sample was hot. Not good.

Although I'm not big on Reuben's my boyfriend said it was one of his top Reuben's and that man orders Reuben's on the regular. The pickle party was delicious. Not sure what they have in their brine but I would purchase again and again. The studio fifty forge was delicious. The only thing I would change is real bacon and not the microwaveable. Even though it was the microwave bacon it was still heated to be crispy. Huge beer selections and friendly staff. PLENTY of outdoor and indoor seating. Parking validation is also available. It might be had to find parking during busier times, but would still go again and recommend to others.
