The new menu curated by Karson Trainor is really turning this place around. Everyone there was very kind and the beer is good. But the new menu is incredible. What a great change for Borderlands. I hope to see some more items from Karson who made this new menu!

Beer was okay but the nachos were very… not good. Trust any bad reviews you read about the food.

Alright, let me just say, this place is my favorite out of all the Borderland breweries. It’s just a nice little bike ride away from home, the perfect spot to sit back, talk about the week, and catch a glimpse of the sunset while you sip on a cold one. The beer here is solid, consistently good. If you’re into that kind of thing, it’s like a dependable old friend—nothing fancy, but it’s always there for you.

Now, the food? Well, I’ve seen it come out of the kitchen, and let’s just say it’s a little... skimpy. If you’re looking to get full, you’re better off drinking your calories and skipping the food. Save your money and your stomach—because what they serve up here isn’t exactly worth the chew. Trust me. I mean, you could probably get more nutrition out of the napkin they serve it on.

But hey, it’s all good. You’re here to drink, not to solve world problems. The place is chill—perfect for zoning out with your beer, laughing at the awkwardness around you, and being left alone. Days are busy with the sports crowd, but nights? It’s practically your own little private club, just you and the beer. The Wi-Fi? Solid. So if you’re here trying to get some work done (or, you know, reading this review), you’re set.

So yeah, grab your beer, avoid the food, and try not to stare too long at those wide-eyed counter guys. They're just doing their thing, trying to figure out how many whiteheads they can pop without someone noticing. But in the end, this place doesn’t pretend to be anything it’s not—it’s just a spot to chill. And that’s all we really need, right?

Great selection of beers tried a couple of them. The horchata beer was delicious. Had the nachos and the green chili grilled cheese. Both were very delicious definitely recommended and I will be coming back.

Great place for a cold beer. They have a small menu and the food is excellent. Dog friendly with covered outdoor seating.

Great times to be had and good choice of beers.

Had tacos and beer. Both were wonderful. The service was outstanding.

Great beers and fun, quirky indoor seating areas. Outdoor seating as well.
