    Lackluster, small front is deceiving....the inside is big and quite nice!
    Russell W.

    This brewery is a nice gem for the area! Summary of what's to follow: good beer, good people, good parking, clean and spacious venue. As we drove up through the neighborhood, I wasn't sure we were in the right area, but the residential housing ended in a semi-industrial area, and there it was. The front seemed small and plain, with limited parking. (Fear not! They lease out the parking across the street as well...but I didn't know that at the time). We parked, and I excitedly walked in expecting the good beer I had heard about in a small, plain setting that would match the image sold by the exterior. Yes, good beer, but nope, not small and plain. Huge, clean, and nicely laid out and decorated! The interior has original art around the many walls, the bar and stools are nice, nice glassware, and free games to play (aside from the giant jenga x2 and bean bag toss/cornhole, there's also a shelf of board games in the room between the bar area and hall to the bathroom). The men's bathroom was also nicer and bigger than expected. Adjacent to the bar is another large room that's divided by a waist-high wall and provides a bunch of overflow tables with folding chairs and plenty of room for a band to setup. Beyond that is yet even MORE space in the form of a surprisingly big outdoor patio which had a food truck on one end and a portable (temporary vendor) axe throwing truck when we were there! Awesome. The people working the bar were very nice and communicative despite my challengingly quiet demeanor (until you get a couple beers in me, of course). We could tell they had an existing rapport with some of the other guests, but I felt like a valued and appreciated customer despite my less familiar face. Don't you wanna go...where [everybody or nobody] knows your naaaaame, and they're always glad you caaaaame? Do do dooo... The beer....I imagined getting to this part sooner, so if anything shows how surprised and pleased I was with the venue, this does. I only had time to try three of their offerings, but they were all quite good, particularly for a fairly new brewery. Good, clean flavors with clean finishes that highly suggest they take pride in both their ingredients and the cleanliness of their equipment. I would like to see a hoppier back-bone IPA, but everything I tried was more than worthy of my money. The Full Nelson was my favorite, though I kind of suspected it might be. My excitement for a Nelson-hopped beer in the current market's galaxy of Citra, Mosaic and...well...Galaxy hops may have had me biased from the start, but it was very tasty and I can't wait to try the rest of what they have to offer. I hope to be back soon, maybe I'll see you there? Happy Exploring!

    Beer flight - A man with glasses and a beard is seated at a bar, holding a glass of beer and smiling at the camera. On the bar counter, there is a flight of beers in small glasses, including light and dark varieties, arranged on a wooden paddle. The background shows a dark interior with ceiling lights, a small window, and a menu or sign on the wall.

    Very solid beer selection and quality. Kind of a more traditional microbrewery in that it's basic, but it works well IMO. Shuffleboard table that's a fun way to pass the time or sit at the bar or tables. Music here as well, but I've only been during the week so no music review for me yet.

    Beer was good (hazy IPA's) and I loved the food options from the kitchen they have a spicy liquid cheese that goes with the soft pretzels. It is apparent the same cheese that is served at hockey games. Servers require you to put in a food order, the. You flip your table number up and they come and take your drink order. There are seats inside and out. Very attentive servers.

    Great beer. Great environment. Free popcorn and games. TVs playing the games. Friendly bartenders. Not sure what else you need.

    Been here three times. Solid beer selection. The roast beef sandwich is not to be missed. Be sure to ask for it warmed up tho. Also, don't miss the fried Oreos. They go with beer.

    Chez Josef was a nice cozy venue for a prom that I chaperoned for recently…read more Staff seemed super attentive and our event was run very efficiently and smoothly. What I really appreciated was one of the staff members running our event held a strong line of communication with the class advisors and administration throughout the entire night. Everyone at Chez Josef was super friendly, accommodating and respectful. The downside to this event was definitely our meal. The food was interesting. Students chose parmesan crusted chicken but it tasted very sweet almost like there was applesauce on it. It was really strange. I also had some oven roasted potato wedges but those were very undercooked- hard as a rock and nearly impossible to cut through. I was not very fond of the food but I figured that was to be expected at an event like this. However, the parfaits were decent. Overall, students seemed to enjoy their time at Chez Josef and so did the chaperones.

    This place is OK. They really need to do some renovations to make it a little more modern. You walk…read morein and it smells like "your grandmother's house," as one of my friends stated. I came here for a company gathering and they had appetizers out by the entrance, there was a huge selection of cheese, fruit, veggies and dip. The selection was pretty decent. You had to purchase tickets at a podium and then use those tickets at the bar, which I found rather strange. They also had curtains up, separating us from the seating area. Also a little strange, then all at once, they opened the curtains and we were herded in, not sure if it was a ploy to get us to eat more apps or buy more drink... The food was okay, the service okay... It was an okay time.

    I took a friend here cause we went there last year for her birthday and she requested to go again…read morebecause we both enjoyed the Redfish Novelle dish which once again was flavorful and enjoyable. I did feel that the presentation could have been a little cleaner and a little more rice but the dish still held our tastebuds satisfied. We are both gluten free which can be difficult . We ordered their price fix menu which included salad, main dish and desert. We decided that was a good choice. The salad came with a lot of unsavory dead end pieces in it which immediately affects the taste and look of the salad. I would give that a very poor presentation with just a small amount of taste. The deserts that came with it were all gluten deserts. That required us to order an extra dish, the bananas foster which should be good. The presentation was not good at all. The bananas were not caramelized which is part of this signature dish and the bananas were mushy and tasteless. It came topped with ice cream. All in all a disappointing addition we had to pay for. The service was very good and I did tell the waiter of our disappointment with the bananas foster and he said " I am sorry" , I guess I should have asked for the manager but the waiter did suggest to take home the two deserts that we were owed. My husband would probably enjoy them. The cheese cake was very disappointing. It was dull, heavy and tasteless, I took a taste of the cheese parts. The apple strudel passable. They can do better. I know they have a large volume clientele but taste and presentation are key to returning customers at least it is to this customer and her friend. It will be awhile until we venture there again. Maybe they will take this review seriously and make some changes. I would suggest adding a gluten free desert offering to the price fix desert menu like flourless chocolate cake or chocolate mousse something if you want to attract a larger more versatile clientele. The redfish novelle is a very nice dish that I do recommend.

    I will start this as I always do by saying I do not give out five stars unless I am really blown…read moreaway. This is a 4 1/2 star. My waitress was awesome very friendly, quick to get me my order quick to get me my drink, I asked her about the menu. She was very happy to help with what she thought was good. I told her what I was looking at, and she suggested the four course Special where I could choose most of the things I wanted. And they did it for a price that was more than reasonable I was actually shocked that it was such a low cost. The food was delicious. I could eat a whole bowl of those brussels sprouts and nothing else and been happy. The salmon was cooked perfectly at the top it all off I had dessert which I hardly ever do and that apple strudel was delicious. I was a little confused by the layout of the restaurant, but it still seems inviting and warm. There was absolutely nothing negative about this place it just didn't have a flow to it if that makes sense. There was a lower dining area and there were some wall between the bar and part of the dining room, but the wall had windows it almost felt like an addition put in later but it wasn't. I don't know I'm not a restaurant designer. The most important part is that the atmosphere was great. The food was better and the staff was awesome. I will be coming back in soon and probably every time I come into town, which I hope is more often just so I can eat here again

    The Egremont Barn

    A Community Venue Changed…read more The Egremont Barn, now operating as Buttonball Barn, was once a cornerstone of local music and community gathering. Because of our long-standing connection to the space, my husband and I chose it for our wedding celebration, placing our deposit with the previous owners, who were professional and supportive throughout the process. After the property changed ownership, we still proceeded with our event in October. This celebration held particular significance, as my father was seriously ill at the time, and we were grateful he was able to attend. Unfortunately, our experience with the new ownership raised serious concerns about professionalism, transparency, and respect for both clients and staff. On the day of the event, the owner attempted to impose additional charges not outlined in our contract. This included a demand for a $500 fee for using a room to get ready--a space she had explicitly told me I could use earlier in the day, noting it was acceptable despite the building being under construction. While I was getting ready, she entered the room while my mother and a family friend were assisting me and removed a rug from beneath them, stating that I "wasn't supposed to use the room all day." I chose not to address this at the time in order to preserve the tone of the day. Throughout the event, the owner was also openly drinking at the open bar, which had been paid for by my father. As the night concluded, she insisted that I personally break down the entire venue either immediately or first thing the following morning--despite knowing I had family visiting--or I would be charged for a cleaning crew. This expectation had not been communicated beforehand and was not included in the contract. When I suggested discussing it the next day, she continued to press the issue and confronted my husband, who attempted to redirect the conversation. To avoid further escalation, my friends and I cleaned the venue that night--while I was still in my wedding dress. She later stated that she would retain space heaters I had purchased in exchange for waiving the disputed room fee. When I noted that none of these charges or arrangements were contractually agreed upon, she responded, "I'm expensive, and I'm not in the contract either, honey," in reference to her being casted on The Real Housewives of New York City. Additionally, her conduct toward long-standing staff members--many of whom had supported the venue for years--was concerning and contributed to an atmosphere that felt transactional rather than community-centered. Some of those staff members have since left the venue. What was most troubling was the timing and context. The attempts to extract additional money occurred at the end of a wedding celebration involving a seriously ill parent, placing unnecessary stress on a family during an already significant moment. The Egremont Barn once represented collaboration, music, and mutual respect. Under its current ownership, that spirit appears to have shifted toward aesthetics and revenue at the expense of community and care. I encourage readers to proceed with caution, ask detailed questions, and ensure all expectations are clearly documented in writing before booking events there.
