I have been to Prospect Point Brewing a few times now, and I really enjoy this place. It's…read morefamily-friendly, dog-friendly, laid-back, and just has a great community atmosphere.
This time around, I actually chose Prospect Point as the place to celebrate my birthday--and it was such a good choice!
I didn't even realize they were having Oktoberfest when I made the plans, so that was a really fun surprise. They had vendors, food trucks, live music, and even a contest going on. The weather was BEAUTIFUL--around 79 degrees--and it honestly couldn't have been a better day to be outside.
The kids had a great time on the playground, which has actually been upgraded since the last time we visited. There are picnic tables throughout the property, some covered and some not, and the whole place has this really relaxed, come-as-you-are kind of vibe. It felt like one big community gathering, with everyone just hanging out and enjoying themselves.
And the drinks!
I had the strawberry lemonade seltzer and a strawberry hard slushie, and both were good. The slushies were definitely a hit with our group. My brother got a lemonade slushie, a couple of friends had peach, and several of us had strawberry. Everyone was basically saying, "This is DELICIOUS!"
The food trucks were good, too, and we were able to bring our own food. We brought a charcuterie board, donuts, and cake for the birthday celebration, which worked out perfectly.
Another thing I appreciate is how quickly the drink service moves. Even when there are a lot of people, the line moves pretty efficiently. They also allow you to sample something before deciding what you want, which I think is a great touch.
They have porta-potties, but they also have an actual restroom available, and listen...PRAISE GOD. We didn't even need to use it this time, but I appreciate knowing it's there!
You can't bring your own alcohol or coolers, but you can bring your own food, which gives you plenty of flexibility.
And if you're there late enough for the lights to come on, the atmosphere gets even prettier. We weren't there quite that late this time, but I've seen it before and it's such a nice ambiance.
The best part is that Prospect Point is only about 10 minutes from my house, so it's incredibly convenient for me. But even if it weren't that close, I'd still come back.
We had such a good time celebrating my birthday, and everyone in our group kept commenting on what a nice place it was.
Definitely one of my favorite local spots for a relaxed day with friends and family!
