As you would expect, they have a great beer list. Don't be afraid to try the local brews. What we didn't expect was the selection and quality of their sandwiches. You can't go wrong with any of these choices. I do hope at some point that they will add more pinballs to their arcade. It would be so appreciated.
I got the catch of the day, wahoo, which was served with rice and broccoli, and it was great. The boyfriend got ribs and a flight of beer. They only have preset flights and he wasn't overly impressed with the beer or the ribs. The brewery was huge, though, with an arcade inside and a marina outside. They tried to sit us near the windows which was right by the open door outside (this was August). It was hot, so we had to ask to move which made us feel bad since it meant a new waiter. She handled it well but I didn't like being put in that situation but also didn't want to sweat eating my food inside an A/C place. I'd appreciate being asked before being seated because I feel that is pretty common in places like this.
Service was friendly but the overall cleanliness here left me saying, no thanks. We were going to order food but when I saw how dirty the outside of one of their coolers was - I didn't want to risk getting food. If your customers can see visible dirt - who knows what your kitchen looks like. I started w the Crazy Lady and didn't love it. We decided to get beer to walk around with and half way through I discovered something in my beer. *You know their tap lines are dirty but how much foam pours out when they try to pull the tabs.* BARTENDER WAS BATTLING WITH YHE TABS TO GET A DECENT POUR. Disappointed w this place.
Cool spot to grab a meal or some locally brewed beers. The inside had a view of the beer tanks and brewery area, as well as an arcade and a gift shop. Our server did a great job (he was in training). Its located right along the waterfront and Marina so there is a nice view as well. Our meals were very good and came out fast and hot.
As a fan of beer and breweries, we were surprised to see that there was a new (for us) brewery right across the street from our hotel when we were in town a couple of weeks ago! Of course, we had to check it out! Overall, it was good! The place is enormous! Long bar with plenty of seats, lots of tables, 2 stories! There is an arcade room and also shuffleboard in the back (which we played!). The bartender was friendly and greeted us right away. The only thing that I thought was strange, was they only offered 2 types of flights - already pre-picked. Typically, you can pick any beer you want to try... which is what I wanted to do. But either way, I was able to try some of their staple beers and they were good! They did have a food menu but we only stopped in for a few beers to try them out.
After a flight cancellation and having to rebook through another airline we had an extra day to fill and decided to stop here for lunch! We shared their nachos and omg it was exactly what we needed. These were so delicious, the pork was so tender and I loved the beer cheese on the side. It came out super quick too! After we ate, we played some of the arcade games they had. It was a perfect start to our day! I will be dreaming of these nachos until the next time we are in town!
Mary and I stopped in for a snack while visiting in the area. We were greeted by friendly staff and seated. Our tasty beverages came right out. We nibbled on the bruschetta and seared scallops; both were delicious. We topped it off with a piece of key lime pie, exceptionally good.
Such a great vibe! Love their beer selections and the arcade area. Great place for the family. Only drink a specific type of beer? They probably have it on tap. The food was great and the servers were very attentive and friendly. The lazy way ipa and cherried away wheat beer are a must.
Great convenient spot for bus tours and cruise visitors. Quite a big inside with booth, table and bar seating. Outside has a good view of the water but we were inside where it felt a bit worn. Game tables you can tell had been played hard over the years. We had the fish dip appetizer and fried shrimp. I thought the shrimp were really good but fish dip was just ok. I got the flagship beer flight and none of them were very good. Much likelier to find better beer in Islamorada. Still a cool local brewery and convenient to where we were.
Cool place We came here for happy hour to get a beer. They have a full arcade for the kids and two different rooms and also a pool table. Right on the waterfront with beautiful views. Lots of inside seating Kids menu. Gift shop. We didn't get any food but it all looked so good! We will be back . Friendly staff. Happy hour beer was $4!
We sat at the bar and ordered a flight of beer while we waited for a shuttle. Seems like there were some parking garages around. They had a preset flight for beer, the Flagship flight that came with: Island Life Crazy Lady Kited Cowboy Lazy Way Everyone was friendly and we didn't try any of the food but it looked delicious. In my opinion, the beer wasn't my favorite, they seemed a little flat and lacking in flavor. The island life had a weird after taste. Seems like a cool place to hangout with a nice view and there's some arcade games. We might come back to try the food one day.
An awesome place with arcade games! Our server was attentive and really nice! (Forgot his name) it's a nice large location with plenty of seating and tvs. The food was delicious!
My husband had a burger. I had a kale salad. He loved his burger. My kale salad was pretty good. The service was beyond excellent. She was super cute, her husband is in the Coast Guard! Go US! Love that! Even the hostess was amazing. He messed with my husband about being a Buckeye fan.
A great view, a bar with fully stocked drinks / solid food menu, and good bartenders! What's not to like? We were looking for a solid place to take a break form the heat and get some food. We headed down by the water and spotted the brewery and grabbed two bar seats. Our bartender was named Katrina (sp?) and she was excellent - attentive and quick with orders. We stayed for a bit. They have a large inside seating area, outdoor seating area, and arcade nearer to the back. It is obviously a bit warm inside near the open garage style doors that overlook the water, but they have a large industrial fan that helps to keep the breeze going. Overall: A Great overlook of the water and solid bar spot! read more

We stopped in for some cold water and AC Shari Bush Parsons ordered a Chilled Black Bean Dip w Crispy Chips ...I tried it and it was very good! The atmosphere was nice! The staff a little short but the island was packed today because of a cruise ship at Port. I definitely would go back again to this nice large Brewery! No traditional beer only IPAs of what they brewed so Tony would not have enjoyed! They also had a large Adult Arcade attached! read more

There's a big paid parking lot to park in. Very beautiful entrance with the mural, and inside it is very loud, so be prepared! This brewery has an arcade inside, so it's loud from the games and all the kids playing the games. They have food, and the food is a good size for the price! Decent selection of beers. Some are good, some not so much. read more
Came in from a cruise super hungry and sat at the bar, looking for what I saw on another Yelper's post, Mushroom Martini. Sounded amazing. Friendly server, but she informed us they stopped serving it after Covid. Oops. Instead, we ordered a Flower Power beer - DELICIOUS and refreshing - and the Black Bean Dip. Sadly, no server checked on us again til we were about done with the dip. Let's just say, we were planning to order a bunch of things on the menu, but the Black Bean Dip was in desperate need of hot sauce which we couldn't get cause no one checked on us, and it tasted so bad the only reason we ate it was because I was so hungry. Instead of ordering more, we paid and left. Not the best place to go hungry. Drinks only here, my Yelpers! read more
The weather was beautiful and the indoor/outdoor feel of the restaurant with a view of the docks made it a great choice for lunch on an early Sunday afternoon. The menu had a wide selection of options. The beer flight sounded like a great place to begin and it turned out to be good value at $8. It was more than enough to have along with a meal. My friend and I split the tasty fish dip. We also split the Fish & Chips and the Bayou Shrimp. The fish had a good amount of batter and was fluffy and light. The Bayou Shrimp was spectacular. The sauce had a little spice (not Heat) to it, which I really enjoyed, it also came with a good amount of flavorful shrimp. I would definitely return to this establishment. read more

Came here with a group of friends who were in town and getting seated and served was a breeze. It was a Saturday afternoon so we were expecting a wait but luckily we didn't wait at all. The place was busy without a doubt but it's a big restaurant and staffed well. Between the drinks and the food, everything was good. I ordered the Fish and Chips and it came hot, fresh out the fryer I presume! I think the portion was great and I was literally full the entire night after eating lunch here. I didn't care for the coleslaw but to be honest, I'm rarely wowed by one so I just didn't eat it. Our server had no problem giving our group 3 separate checks and she was also super attentive. I had low expectations for a restaurant in such a touristy spot but honestly, it was great for lunch. I would come back here again. There's also plenty of parking in front of the brewery (pay to park) which is a plus for the key west area. read more
Food was good. I had the fish and chips. Not bad had better. Wife had shrimp and scallop risotto. She really enjoyed it. She shared a couple of bites and I agree it was delicious. The ceviche was not bad as an appetizer. Our server, Dwaine, was great. Our food delivered quick. Nice ambience. read more

Came here with the husband to celebrate his birthday. The hotel shuttle dropped us right in front of this place so we thought it was meant to be. Really enjoyed it though! The restaurant is right on the pier in the heart of key west. So you can get a beautiful view of the water. Also it's pretty cool bc they have arcade games you can play with your kids. And ur husband. Haha. The food was ok. We ordered peel shrimps and the churrasco. It was good - nothing to DIE for. But good. Also the beers were good. I couldn't try any of them bc I'm preggers but it smelled good and my husband liked it. Overall good place I would come back. read more
A little after 8pm and all ten tables sitting all without food and I was nervous but tried the food. The waiter came by and he was great. We came in earlier today to check out the brewery now time for grub. Ordered the Mahi-Mahi sandwich, conch chowder and the fish dip which seems to be my goto in Key West. The craft beer is distilled in house so I ordered the Truman Imperial IPA 9.5%. Massive game room and souvenir store. The food came to the table within ten minutes and every dish was a 5 star. Very clean bathrooms. read more
We made our way to the brewery for some daily catch, but none was available that day. Nevertheless this place always has a good outcome. Beer flights were enjoyed. An epic grilled beef and cheese sandwich was savory and filling. My other friends downed their fries, fish dip, shrimp pasta, and fish and chips with gusto. The service was friendly and we enjoyed our open booth on the water side. The restaurant is huge, with entrances both on the street and off the boardwalk near the public restrooms. read more

What a great location for lunch! Open air restaurant right on the water. Service was great! Food was also good. We had the pretzel appetizer - served hot and with a delicious cheese dip! Our friends shared the skirt steak, rice and beans and we shared the Mahi fish and chips. Food was very good! read more

Are they dog friendly?
There is an outside seating area at the brewery, but i don't remember seeing any signage that states dogs aren't welcome... I don't believe their actual website says otherwise as well. I would assume service animals are ok.
