I was gifted a Groupon voucher to this shop, and while I'm not much of a wine drinker, I was…read moreexcited to stop by when I learned they carry a large selection of other types of drinks, snacks, and specialty cheeses. My husband and I honestly took forever browsing and reading labels. The store manager was incredibly patient with us, even though we probably stayed way too long talking about the cheeses we wanted to try and reading through their recommended pairings pamphlet. She was so knowledgeable and helpful with all of our questions, and even mentioned that they could specialty order anything that might be out of stock for us. Because you can buy their cheese by the 1/4lb, we ended up mixing and matching a selection of five different cheeses and a few cured meats to sample. Everything was absolutely delicious, and they have some really unique flavors available. The wild ramp alpine cheddar was so different to anything I had before, and the truffle manchego cheese was completely packed with so much truffle. The shop is currently celebrating their 10 year anniversary, and I can absolutely see why. Between the incredibly friendly, helpful service and a thoughtfully curated selection of artisanal goods, it's no surprise this business is thriving. This will definitely be my new go-to spot for gifts!

The environment was an open industrial space with a low-key vibe (at least at this time). A handful of regulars were posted up at the bar. They had sports on the TVs in front and on the big screen in the back. There's a stack of board games in the corner. For the couple times I've been here, the bartender has always been very informative, walking me through the beers on tap without my asking. The beer list is solid, and I had to try the Raspberry Beret imperial stout - the flavor was unique and the raspberry very notable. If you're feeling brave, ask about the Sweet Scoville Sting. Seriously spicy, so make sure you taste it before committing. Beyond beer, there's wine, ready-to-drink margaritas and cocktails, and a robust food menu so something for everyone.

I highly recommend stopping by on a Friday or Saturday to check out the tasting - it makes it easy to try something new and figure out what you'll actually enjoy drinking at home and they set up so it's easy for you to pick up a bottle you enjoyed!

Both were very popular with our guests. Chain Bridge Cellars delivered three cases of each wine to our event space, and the white wine had already been chilled.

Would come back just for this. The pizza was good as well. It was so cold that the pizzas unfortunately cooled down very quickly. I think they would benefit from using cast iron pans instead of just plastic black pans. But other than that I thought the mediterranean mushroom pizza was one of the best mushroom pizzas i've ever had! The mushrooms were pre-marinated and that's a difference you can taste!

I have no idea why, unless it is the difference in my apparel (work vs. casual). I left the other day knowing I won't be back.
