The place was great. All but for 1 server who was so rude to my friend and I, it was actually very shocking. But the other server ( the one with her own nail business) made up for it. Probably won’t go back in fear of getting the curly haired girl that made us feel like we were very unwanted.

Lovely broad selection of local brews. Can't wait for the street to be finished to enjoy the patio, wide variety of finger foods, but the main attraction is the breath of the local beers, and mostly smaller ones at that. You can get fattug and blue buck anywhere, you come here for the fuggles and backcountry.

Decent food, well priced, kind and attentive service
Great rotating selection of non-Nanaimo but BC craft beers.
One big screen to watch (not listen) to a marquee sporting event.
Nice 10oz glass options so you can sample some of the 16 taps.
They have food too, that looks appetizing but I was there for the beer... next time!
Lindsay is the best 🥰
Decent place. Make sure to order a taster before ordering otherwise tough luck.
This place was a great place to meet a friend I hadn't seen for a long while! The selection of drinks was top notch and recommendations from the server helped me choose a great drink! And those perogies were delicious!
Only downside for me: the sliders on the menu don't tell you that it's a combo of beef and pork. As a person who is a allergic to pork, this could have been a disaster. There was no mention on the menu or when I ordered. The only reason I discovered this fact was because they came back pink, which I was assured that it was okay because of the pork! I am just writing this review for anyone who doesn't eat pork so they are aware.
I will definitely be back to try other drinks and items on their menu!

It's full of energy here.
Good tap list but they drop the ball with their seating arrangements. Barely any seating to begin with, surprised they aren't more proactive in consolidating seating. 10+ seat available but my group of five had no room..
Visited on Friday night. Good beer list and nice space but unfortunately the staff seemed uninterested in providing the service that they were asking min 18% gratuity for. No cutlery given with food, no water offered. Majority of staff seen on their phones completely disconnected from customers. Customers who might want cutlery or water with their food.
I had 3 beers during our visit and the second had off flavors so i politely told our server that I didn’t think the beer was what I ordered. She took offense and assured me it was the right beer. I explained that style of beer shouldn’t be that bitter or have a slick mouth feel. She seemed annoyed and asked if I wanted something else but left the beer in front of me. Finally another server took the almost full glass away.
When I received my bill I was charged for the beer that wasn’t consumed. I asked the server to confirm that she had charged me for the beer I didn’t drink. Assuming it was a mistake, and that they had forgotten to remove it. (Never mind investigate whether their lines needed to be cleaned or if the beer had off flavors). The server then explained that they “normally charge” but would remove it from my bill. The second server came over and said the same thing.
A truly bizarre experience in “customer service”.

Excellent small and cute craft beer pub. They carry a good variety of beer and ciders. The fried brie cheese appetizer is super recommended!
