I stopped into LandLocked Ales late last week for a libation and while the beer was great and the atmosphere enjoyable, something I witnessed is still weighing on my mind.
When I arrived, the service was excellent—the lady behind the bar was kind, attentive, and clearly knew her beers. She made the experience welcoming and fun. However, partway through the evening, there must’ve been a shift change and the bartender who replaced her was the complete opposite. He seemed visibly uninterested in being there and gave off the vibe that serving customers was more of a burden than his job.
As someone who’s worked in the food and beverage industry for years, I know firsthand how much a staff member can shape the guest experience. The difference between the two bartenders was stark, and unfortunately, it left a lasting impression.
Your beer is solid, and the setting has great potential—but if I walk in again and see that same guy behind the bar, I’d probably turn around and leave. Just wanted to share this in the hopes it helps improve the overall experience for future guests.

*BIKE PARKING* Really great vibe and excellently brewed beer id recommend the Raspberry Wheat. The bartender was right on, my glass was empty for literally 5 seconds. 10/10 please go check these out.

Great atmosphere with good beer and pinball machines! I had Plaid Vibes and it is a very nice Irish Red. Great service, too.

Outdoor seating in the sunshine ☀️. Grenade Jumper & Tropic Like It’s Hot. Both were so good (they were full pours, just took the photo late).
Stacia Rabith
Solid beer choices, fun trivia and music bingo nights and food trucks

I did not mean to like Sir McPooPooHead the 740000th's three star review. This place is killer. Great beers, awesome people, wonderful atmosphere. I love that there are dogs there. If that's not for you, there are plenty of dog free places.

Beer is usually good. Food trucks are good. Why do people feel the need to take their dogs everywhere?
Good beer selection, friendly staff, and the worst bike rack ever.
Sarah Hattendorf
They make a stellar Mexican Lager.

Landlocked is home away from home! The environment is incredible, bartenders are always on it. Plus the beer is amazing! I’m not an IPA person but the Grenade Jumper is a must have.

Great beer selection, and we always get friendly service when we come here! We love that they are dog friendly inside and outside, a great option when the weather outside isn't great. We live in the area, and love come here as often as we can!

I tried the Italian style beer today. it was pretty good. I'll be back to try other selections. The place was a little dead today. They allow dogs inside, or at least there were a few there when we went.
