    a crowd of people at a bar

    Last night was a true experience. First day post covid restrictions lifted and this place was so packed you actually couldn't move. After politely shoving our way to the bar between all the 22 year old chads and brads, we ordered 8 vodka sodas for five people. We politely asked for cran in two and he replied with "all or NONE." So no cran for us. After we got our drinks I wanted a fun picture so I stood on a chair. I know not a cute look but sorry for partying am I right? Well next thing I know I get PELTED IN THE HEAD WITH A SHARD OF ICE. when I turned to see who threw it, it was the all or none bartender screaming at me. I'm sorry but this reaction does not match the problem. Finally, at 9:42 pm the lights went on and everyone started screaming to leave. Mind you, we called that morning and they said they were open until ONE AM. They told the staff it was too crowded and they were just shutting it for the night, Jon Taffer style. The real crime here was they didn't even let the Nickelback song finish all the way through. The highlight of the event was Brooks! He was so sweet and an absolute delight. Give that man a raise.

    The ambiance in this place has never been that great. I've watched a few Super Bowls here and…read moregenerally found the food to be so-so and the indoor temperature to be way too cold for comfort. This time, I wasn't quite as cold, but the bartender was curt and aloof to my wife for no reason at all. That's different from past years, when the service was friendly. Then at half time, Bad Bunny came on and they turned off the sound and put some unpleasant music on instead. When some of my group asked why, we were met with weird stuff like "we took a vote; we don't want to see it; this is America." (We were never asked to cast a vote.) After a few sentences back and forth, I could tell some bad energy was rising and I left, because I don't need that kind of pointless confrontation in my life. I then got a text from a friend who had wanted to eat his pizza, who said things got more heated and he had to leave without eating it. According to him, there was almost a fight, and I know for sure that could not have come from him. I'm not saying "stay away from this place because they're Trumpers." I'm saying that in my opinion, the vibe is creepy and unwelcoming if you're not steeped in the same sour, angry energy they seem to be dwelling in. It's probably okay if you're ordering takeout. If you want to sit down, though, be aware of who is likely to be sitting near you, and how they're likely to act if they decide they don't like you.

    One of my favorite spots! My partner and I get takeout from here more than I would like to admit!…read moreWe love the popcorn chicken, grinders, and pizza! Don't think you can go wrong! The staff is always very kind!

    Not dog friendly anymore…read more We've come here a bunch of times with our dog and would be able to sit outside and have a few drinks. We always had a pleasant experience and respected the rules of the brewery to stay outside with our dog. Yesterday, we came by around 3 p.m. and it was relatively quiet with lots of empty seating outside. When we went to sit at a table, a waitress told us they had a designated dog area to the side at two broken tables in the sun and that we could not sit at any of the shaded tables. She also told us we could not order food with our dog there. We asked if we could move an umbrella over so we wouldn't have to sit in the sun--the waitress said she would ask and then never came back. When we realized no one was going to help, we asked a second time and were told there was no way to give us shade, so we left. It was disappointing as we liked coming here but it felt like they were deliberately trying to make dog owners uncomfortable and unwelcome. I'd recommend going elsewhere if you are looking for a relaxing afternoon at a brewery.

Ordered the pretzel appetizer, 2 burgers and a chicken sandwich. After 30 minutes, nothing no pretzel no food. Again had to find my server paid for my beer and left. They need someone that knows how to manage a restaurant not a bunch of kids with limited restaurant experience. Plenty of other places who appreciate their customers. This is not one of them!

    from the website:…read more "Since 1974, First Encounter has been a premiere venue on Cape Cod for the enjoyment of live acoustic music of all kinds; including blues, traditional and contemporary folk, bluegrass, gospel and more. We are a non-profit organization staffed completely by volunteers. Concerts are held twice each month throughout the year. First Encounter provides a rare opportunity to listen to a variety of fine music in a smoke and alcohol free environment. We offer home-baked treats and hot and cold beverages. Children are welcome and admitted free, so it's a great place to go as a family. Here at our website you can find a schedule of our upcoming concerts, information on mailings and memberships and directions so you can find us." this place is famous, seriously it has had some big names in blues and folk. Its very cheap considering that you will get TWO shows in a row. the building is beautiful with amazing stain glass windows. the acoustics of the room are wonderful for music, amplifying it and holding the sound to perfection. Its intimate, and inviting; the perfect date place. The signers often involve you in the music and have you sing along. It will fill up fast, because this is where the locals go for music on cape cod. Id recommend for bigger shows showing up 20 min ahead of time. Of course they will fit you in, as you can always stand. visit website http://www.firstencounter.org/ for info and to see if there is a concert

    As good a venue for acoustic music as you'll ever find....and I've been to many many of them.read more
