Although this is separate from Dust Bowl, I apparently picked the blandest thing WEDO had to offer, the Chicken Nachos. But the Spicy Chicken and Crispy Fish sandwiches were good. Had a full Nitro stout and a flight (OC IPA - Peach, Love, and Haze - Confused Citrus - Mango Lime Kettle Sour). See my ratings on Untappd. All were enjoyable and I left with a 4 pack of Peach Love and Haze! Servers were awesome people. SUPER Dog Friendly. Made a few dog friends.

This brewery was just a short walk away, and it was the perfect find! The staff were incredibly friendly and upbeat, making us feel welcome right away. They were especially great with our kids. We tried a flight of 9 different local craft beers, and every single one was delicious. Plus, the prices were very reasonable for the quality! The food was a pleasant surprise. Usually, brewery food can be quite heavy, but they had plenty of vegetable options. It felt great to have a healthy meal that was still seasoned perfectly to pair with the beers. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!

I tried their Rice Water, it's a lighter beer, I really liked it and would get it again. I also really like their Pilsners. Love the open air design of the restaurant and patio outside front. Also love that they provide a big selection of games for families to play and hangout with their kids. Their food is really good too. The OG Smash burger was delicious. I love batter fried onions rings and theirs are very good and a big portion too. Although I wish they would offer malt vinegar for the onion rings. I normally don't like waffle fries but these are good, a thicker cut so they're soft in the middle and not super crunchy. We really liked the wings too, not your traditional buffalo wings but I like their spin on it with a dry rub. Upstairs a couple of 50 cent pinball machines and 2 large tables, enough room for a pool table please. We came back for pizza night we got the pepperoni. It was good with a thick pan crust and lot's of cup pepperoni. And they have kombucha on tap, nice. I really appreciate that they provide essentials for the ladies in their bathroom.

There are plenty of amazing places to eat in Carmel, but this is a hidden gem. It's practically hidden away in a plaza with an outdoor patio, but there is plenty of indoor seating as well parking of course can be tricky in this area, but you shouldn't have to walk more than a block or two. I've been to other Alvarado Street brewery locations, but they each independently run and this one is by far my favorite. They always have different things on the menu to eat and drink and we are always satisfied. My +1 has a go to salad with raw beets in it, and I usually prefer something meatier. This time I went for a brisket sandwich, which was a little bit greasy (as expected) but was incredible. The meat was cooked to perfection and it paired well with the brioche bun and whatever sauce they put on it. We also had a calamari appetizer, which was elevated with some furikake seasoning. The beers, of course were absolutely delicious. I tried one of their sours and a barley wine. My +1 opted for a stout. The flavors are always changing, so we never know what we're going to get to try the next time we visit. If elevated bar food and craft beer, sounds like a good time to you, I would recommend this place in a heartbeat!

Inside table seating is booth, table and offers even larger groups available seating up to 10. The food is "Brewery" oriented of course and done well. We had a Smash Burger that came with fries, a Seafood pasta, and a fish and chips that also included a tasty coleslaw. A huge assortment of House made Brews is featured and they have a full bar that servers mean cocktails. A little noisy inside but hey, it's a Brew Pub! BTW: they do excellent specials-- Monday night--burger and beer $-15! Wednesday- 6 epic Wings and beer for $10!

I would say there was at least 15 people in front of me and several more people behind. Even though the lines were long I didn't mind because there was a girl that was putting out fresh samples the entire time and even the lemonades! They were delicious especially the strawberry lemonade and pizza nuggets. My family enjoyed the free samples that helped us choose what to order when it was our time so it made it easier for both my family and the workers I'm assuming instead of thinking of what to get. My family and my self ended up ordering the pepperoni bites, cinnamon sugar bites, the mini hot dog bites and then a sweet almond pretzel from a coupon my son got from school a while back! They were all super fresh and we even got some straight out of the oven so they were nice and hot! The drinks were very refreshing not too sweet like some other places. The staff were all so friendly and knew what they were doing! Kudos to this group of young people for managing so well on such a busy weekend.
