The cashier was confused, but the atmosphere is top tier. He seemed to not understand my order. Sent my to go order, not to go. When I tried to get the to go container, he stopped.me. I think he might have been a little overwhelmed. Will definitely return. One tough day doesn't make a bad experience.

Great brewery! The place is huge. There is plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. The beer and food I tasted were delicious! The hazy was my favorite. The carnitas tacos were juicy, meaty, and great tasting. The empanadas stole the show. Crispy and delicious! The customer service was friendly and helpful from everyone we encountered. Will visit again!

They have a great beer selection and lots and lots of free games. They have a ton of board games but also arcade style video games as well. It’s a huge place and very open and bright. Their bar tenders are cool and quick and help you pronounce the names of their beers if you are not up to date on the lore. For real though this is a cool spot and we are happy they are around to give nerds a safe place to nerd out.

Cool place, nice variety of beers. Would love to see some darker beers on the menu.

Some beers are phenomenal and very creative. The video game theme is fun and it’s nice to see how they celebrate the local game industry heritage with Blizzard. Good variety of board games available.The poor rating comes from three things:1): The poorly designed venue which makes it feel like a “event in progress of being built” or storage facility, this results in not really a very cozy or relaxing area and the volume of everyone’s voices carries through the rooms causing a constant high level of noise.2): At times incredibly slow and poor service, randomly the line and wait times will be surprisingly slow and I’m not quite sure why. So I guess the feedback is “inconsistent service”.3): Little no dietary options in the food menu whatsoever. It’s also clear they don’t educate their staff on this topic either as every staff member has different answers about what items can be changed to accommodate (with the most common answer just being that they don’t really have any options).

I like the place, but the service moves so slow when you have someone requesting samples. I decided to skip my second and third drink because of that.

Beer great, I had the PaperboyWings, great! Nice and hot, a bit of heat on them, non-breaded, really good.Smash Burger, dry and cold-huge disappointment. All the signs of serving a patty of meat that had been sitting around for a while. Not good for a guy that is obsessed with smash burgers.I might come back, and I’ll need to request a freshly cooked burger. P.S. If you are hungry, order a double meat

Great original beer in a massive, chilled brew cave full of friendly geeks. Grab a hazy and a couple empanadas while watching a level-five wizard crush a hit-point impaired troll into a fermenting mash no doubt re-used for the next perfect double-hopped IPA. Pure nerdy deliciousness.

Place is pretty cool for a date day/night! Lots of games to choose from and bar food was good!

The ambiance is good and the games are nice. The food is below average and it takes very long to come out. Every one of our items came out 10-15 minutes after each other. My beyond burger was charred to a crisp. I probably wouldn't come here for the food, but the beer was good.

Not a fan of all the pets in here... It's kinda gross and 100% again the health code. I'd prefer not to eat food with a possibility of extra things like fleas and diseases that could potentially get in the food/kitchen. I definitely won't be coming back...

GameCraft is a large brewery with two rooms and a bar in each room. The night I went (Sunday night) I think the second room was rented out by a game night group. The bar was closed in there. The ambiance is what you'd expect from a brewery called GameCraft- both video and tabletop gamey vibes. There's even a wall of TVs projecting online gamers playing games. I like that it's kind of an open concept in the main room with outdoor and indoor seating. The second room seems to be mostly indoor seating, possibly for hosting events and such. We ordered a Pay to Win (West Coast IPA) and a Doom Juice (DDH Hazy DIPA) to start. The west coast was a solid IPA, crisp and clean. I'm having trouble recalling the hazy. I'll try it again next time I go and I'll update. We originally wanted the spinach & cheese empanadas but they were out of those, so we full sent on the Beyond Burger ($15) and the Hot Chicken Sando ($14). I wanted the side of tots (additional $4) but I couldn't justify paying almost $30 pre-tip for a burger, side of tots, and a beer. The burger was good but I wouldn't pay $15 for it again. I can't with the ridiculous prices these days! Although the Hot Chicken Sando was on the smaller side, I am told the flavor was good and the breading was crispy. They allowed us to sit at the bar in the second game room even though it was closed. We watched a game on the tvs there. I wasn't overwhelmed by this brewery, however I do want to come back to give it another shot. I'd like to try a flight and take a gander at their tabletop game selection. I hear they've got a backgammon board :)

The place itself is a bit strange. As in the layout of everything. Very open on one side and not much to fill the huge space. The other side is overly crowded. Order chicken tacos while having beers at the bar. Chicken meat is way over cooked like it’s been in a crock pot all day and not much flavor. The beers on the other hand are amazing. They don’t keep the glasses cold. But they do use an ice cold water spray on the glass before they pour your beer. Ordered the nachos to go. Not much toppings for a $16 plate. I would go back for the beer…… but not for the food.
