My family and I have been coming here since opening day. My daughter and I would regularly come when they were open during COVID and always receive the best, friendliest service. The food is great and beer is always cold and they always have a great selection. The crew is amazing and we always recommend it to friends.

We ate a late dinner here. The service was friendly. The method for getting beer was new to me but once we got settled in, we found it quite handy utilizing the self service. No more hoping for a waiter to notice you're empty. Prices weren't unreasonable for the food or the drinks. Ordered the Mac and cheese balls and they were by far the best I've ever had. Crunchy outside with deliciously cheese Mac and cheese inside. They were cooked to perfection. I also ordered the BBQ burger which was cooked nicely and still juicy. All around the food was much better than average. The drink style is different but fun and efficient. I absolutely plan on going back here again for more.

Beer selection was good, but the food was really nothing to write home about.Lots of fried things but mostly flavorless. Had to follow up the meal with a green juice to reset the vibes

I had the sweet Sriracha wings and they were fantastic. Sweet and spicy, but not too hot. Meaty too. The self-serve beer taps are really cool, and they had a huge selection including sours, IPAs, Belgians, and darker beers.

Good place good food. Went back to the way before Covid. Like the poor your own beer but need to keep the table service. It feels so cheep now that there is no table service.

3 of us just ordered takeout... Crispy chicken sandwiches, fried zucchini, and a BLT (which is pretty hard to mess up). The food was overcooked and tasteless by all three of our accounts. Also, they didn't have one of the menu items we were looking for, but I'm kind of glad they didn't now. I'm sure their beer is amazing, but the food is not.

Great beer great food! Cool beer place with indoor and outdoor seating. Most recent visit I had a Mexican Amber ale that was great. I also had the Hops Burger which was tasty and filling. It was also one of the juiciest burgers I think I've ever had! Needed a lot of napkins but we'll worth the mess. Fries were awesome as well. They were also nice enough to make a burger patty for my dog and he definitely loved it (though admittedly not the most discerning of palates). Service matched the food. You should definitely give this place a try, good food service and nice spot to hang out.

Beer is decent but we got the fried pickles and the fried zucchini and it looks like it needed the oil to be changed. It’s was extremely dark. Staff was great and that would be the only room for improvement.

I believe this just opened recently so we gave it a try and it was great! Our server was so nice and attentive! The restaurant is very clean and has a long beach with tables for big parties along the wall and separate tables for sitting. We had the Wedge Salad and the carna asada fries. Which you have a choice to change to tater tots, which we did. The carna asada has a good citrus taste to it. Beer was great! Good sour beer selection.

I loved the atmosphere, the food was delicious and our serve Elaiyah was amazing great customer service!!
