My wife and I met up after work and decided to try the place out. They were closed for an event called "Flight Night", which required $35 tickets for the 6-8pm event. "BEER - FOOD - MUSIC" the advertisement promised. We paid $70 and sat at the bar.The music was just out of their speakers. They turned it down by 6:10 to a barely audible level.The food was french fries and pretzel bites, but only brought to a few tables in the middle despite the entire place being "closed for the event" and people sat around all over. There were no side plates. No food brought to us at the bar. Did they expect us to stand around and all eat off the same plates? I don't get it.The beer, well we don't know. We left after 35 minutes of waiting for something to happen, barely even being acknowledged by the owner despite sitting at the bar right in front of her. We asked if we could order food, but she said no they'd only be bringing out the "food on the event menu" to a few tables. No water was served, no beer was served. Everyone in the place was awkwardly staring at the french fries getting cold, wondering when we'd be tasting beer at this $35 beer event.We left at 6:35 after literally nothing had happened and went to Finney's down the street, who actually acknowledged us when we sat at the bar, and even served us food and beer! Imagine...EDIT: and the owner gaslights us for "not understanding the event" in their response. Yikes... I mean yeah if you'd advertised that we'd be sitting around for 35 minutes with no acknowledgement of our existence we probably would have skipped it. Sorry for misunderstanding...FYI I work for a local winery, and at our events we hand guests glasses of wine upon arrival and actually talk to them. I won't be back, and I'll recommend winery guests and friends go elsewhere.
Overall...great place to come for drinks/food with friends. The place is open, spacious, and well lit (natural light and electric). They have cozy chair/couch seating as well has padded high top seating. The bar is long with many more seats. Their beer variety spans most tastes and the food is spot on. Owners were easy to talk with and clearly have their hearts in making this a success.
Wanted to try out this place out now that its open. Owners were friendly, great peeps. Open space, lots of seating to choose from. Casual laid back atmosphere.BF got his IPA's and I got a porter. The IPA's are lighter on the hop side but still tasty. The porter was rich and satisfying like a porter should be.We also decided to share a chicken sandwich. The flavors were spot on, just wish the bread held up better.A great beer spot for SLO.
Greats tasting beer and food and a good selection from Lager to Porter!! Full of flavor without the heavy feeling of drinking traditional IPAs . Every beer they serve is made from hops grown in SLO! Bambi the owner came by our the table multiple times to check on us and share her stories of the business, the process of making their signature beers, home grown hops and peppercorn!!. Great experience!!Highly recommend!!
Great brewery. The owners were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. The indoor seating was super comfortable. All seats were couches or plush chairs, I could spend all day there relaxing and having beer! Plus the location is perfect for a nice relaxing vibe downtown.We didn’t get any food, but we got a few rounds. The beers were a great price and they had a good selection. We will definitely be coming back regularly!
Stumbled upon this spot when in SLO for a quick trip and was not disappointed. The staff was so nice and welcoming, beers were pretty good too. Beautifully designed interior along with some outdoor seating (and more to come apparently).
A must stop. Amazing beers and Chris (brewer) spend time with me to sample some of his beers and explain his brewing process and they grow their own hops…wow! His wife was also extremely helpful helping me sort out some biking trails ?
The beer here is good not great (4/5). I sampled 6 out the 8 beers on tap. All decent beers but nothing that surprised or really excited me. But it was the food that really disappointed us. The chicken wings ($12), 6 tiny wings, cold on the inside so they were obviously microwaved and lacked taste or sauce or any anything that resembled crispness. The chicken strips ($12) for 3 lonely strips on a plate that were generic frozen food. Same with our chicken sandwich, bland, boring, and completely forgettable. Now i realize that this is a new brewery/restaurant and they often need to work out the kinks but geez guys, they have been getting ready to open for 2 years now so it was surprising that so little effort was put into the food. I’ll be back to keep trying their beers but i will avoid the food next time.
Stopped in last night for a bite and drinks and was very pleased. The beer is awesome, had Zues' Hammer and loved it- And I'm not typically an IPA drinker. Food was solid. Even the cookies were great, like homemade. Took home a couple of 4-packs, and will definitely be back for that delicious beer.
Great beer and food. The Cookies are also amazing. Everyone was friendly and I look forward to going back.
