Great brewery with an awesome vibe! They always have cool pop-ups going on, so there’s usually some good food available too.
I sent this email on 8/25/25 and never got a response. I am a regular who lives in the neighborhood. I called on Sunday 8/24/25 at 10:15pm to see if the kitchen was still open. The first call was disconnected. The second time I called, a woman answered the phone and put me on hold while seeing if the kitchen was still open. After waiting for a minute, I was taken off hold. I heard voices in the background and then the phone was hung up. I called 4 more times. The phone was picked up and then I was hung up on. Since I live 1 minute away, I drove over. The sign said open. As I pulled up, both FOH employees hurried to the door and flipped the sign while locking the door. This was at 10:25pm. The business hours state that 11pm is closing. I've been told that the kitchen closes around 10:30pm, which is why I called. I extremely disappointed with the level of service. They did try to make it up to me since I am a local, but it was too little too late. According to the employees, the phone is broken. Just wanted to pass along the information in case they didn't. I appreciate your time in reading my message. On 10/6/25 I went back in. We ordered 2 cups of chili, fries and a side of beer cheese. It took over 30 minutes for the chili and it was cold. So was the beer cheese on top. 15 minutes later, we were served chili again. It was cold. 20 minutes later we received luke warm chili brought out my a kitchen staff member. It was inedible due to the overwhelming bleach smell coming from the food. The table behind us had ordered chili cheese fries. Their food seemed to be ok. Don't have a bad experience here. They will try to poison you and management won't respond.
Hostile bar staff don't waste your money
Always a good time & cheap beer🥰
Great vibes and beautiful place to hang out in. The bar is fantastic, Alma had an outstanding knowledge of the selection and had recommendations that were not only on point but mind-changing.Pictured is the flight, 5 flavors of beer, all 5 oz. And for $10, it's a hard deal to pass up on.Would recommend this place to ANYONE who enjoys craft brew and unique IPAs.

The ambiance is laid back they have great beer as well! If you want some brewing supplies, they have that too.
Good music, atmosphere and service. Especially loving this Pineapple Express Hazy.

Friend staff, nice place ♥️
My server alma was so drunk it was embarrassing for me will not be going back. Very unprofessional and hard to watch. Hope other people have better experience
Friendly folks & dog-friendly but we just didn't like any of the beers we tried in a flight we had. Also, kinda smelled like Pine-Sol or something like that inside the tap room area. I would say give them a try but for us it wasn't a fit.
Great place Great beer Great service and people
Tasty beers and very knowledgeable brewers. A HomeBrewers dream!
