Loaded Bloody Mary

This was a SUPER impromptu stop on an already unresearched roadtrip with my partner and our dog. 1) it's NOT actually a functioning brewery, which was slightly disappointing but was made up for by... 2) the view! Since we had our dog we sat outdoors but I would choose to anyway. Excellent view of the river. We saw several barges go by and lots of birds. Plus the property is just COOL if you like old architecture. 3) the food was good. Not *great* but satisfying and just what should be expected from a sort "stick to your bones roadside diner." I HAD to have the loaded Bloody Mary. The drink it self was so-so but the "garnishes" were yummy and filling. The hushpuppies stood out. This place just has a lot of character and overall it was a highlight of our unplanned trip

Spoiler alert... this is not a brewery. It used to be. But it's not now. What it is now though (maybe?) makes up for it. It's a kick ass bar food restaurant with great views, beyond friendly service, and an amazing view of the Mississippi River. Not to mention the original building, which days back to 1860. The history is perhaps the coolest part about this visit (which is saying something, given we sat outside at a picnic table watching the sun set and the river go by while we were serenaded with the revel of a wedding going on in the event space next door). Anyway, back to history. When the Prohibition era began (1920's) beer-making in the brewery was terminated. But, a brick and stone tunnel was then apparently constructed (and recently rediscovered) that leads down to the near the river - obviously for bootlegging. Storage caves used to keep beer cool before transport were also discovered. The brewery was re-legitimized in 1933 and operated until 1972 when it sat vacant until 1992 when restorations into a bar / restaurant and reception hall began. Those were completed in 2003 but the owners were forced to sell in 2008 in response to a challenging economy and the recession. There was also apparently consideration to tear down the building at that time (gasp of horror!) In the nick of time, the owner's son and partner came up with plans to reopen and it was saved! There were at that time, big plans for a riverside tiki bar, brick pizza oven, wedding gazebo, and campsites with electricity. The campsites seem to be there, as does an extensive outdoor deck mounted on a railroad car. All that to say... if you're in the area, make a visit! Just don't go expecting any Warsaw Brewery beer.

Great ribeye steak sandwich. Hand trimmed with majority of fat removed on a great bread.

Great food, but it is a loud environment when it's a packed house. The service has always been great with reasonable prices.

A half-ruined brewery overlooking the Mississippi River, where you can eat on the stone patio and watch the eagles.
