Amazing atmosphere and really cool concept and setup of the beers! You get to pour your own and can choose the amount you want to pour.

I really enjoyed this place and I plan to return. If you are fan of beers (or any other adult libations), this is a must-try.

Great place to stop and have a little food and drinks- fantastic beer and pizza! Very cool place and despite the internet being down, the owner was able to cook up a great pizza!

Dietary restrictions: Incredibly tasty GF flatbread option!

Food is…. Not great

I’m sure the atmosphere here is great on a weekend evening. It’s a really cute place. However, the food and choices are lacking. Pretty much food that can be microwaved or heated in a hurry. I’d recommend switching out your breaded chicken for grilled. It would just be a lot better on your chicken sandwiches. The tap options are good though.

I love this place! Great deals beer & vibes. Super cute patio area with fire pits. Very nice service, will absolutely be back.

Vegetarian options: I don't do cheese, so I've only had fries. The sweet potato fries were undercooked. The white potato fies were ?

My band played for the summer concert series at the park nearby last month, so we dropped by here about an hour before our set to grab some food. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere seemed great- definitely a good place to grab a drink.

That being said, I would not recommend getting food here. After about 45 minutes of waiting, half of the group hadn’t gotten their food. The staff seemed generally unfocused and untrained- it took them 30 minutes to even realize they were out of certain ingredients and ask us for substitutes, and we were the only ones in the restaurant who ordered food, so it’s not like they were busy filling other orders.

For those of us who did get our food, it was very clearly baked from the freezer and tasted pretty freezer-burned. We asked our server if we could get the rest to go. We got one sandwich (very clearly thrown together), but the other two weren’t ready by the time we had to leave. The servers did offer to refund us for the food we didn’t get which was nice. I went ahead and called the contact they gave me of the owner to get said refund, and left a message. I have yet to get a response.

TLDR: staff was very friendly and accommodating, but seemed generally experienced and untrained. Grab some drinks, but get dinner somewhere else- the food we got, in my opinion, was not worth the wait.

Vibe was good. But the food was... edible. The taps we tried were hit and miss. Hopefully they were just short staffed atmosphere seemed great.

Wasn't a fan of this place. I'm not a big proponent of "pour your own beer" places to begin with, so there is that.
But the staff here, three very young 20 somethings were more interested in talking among themselves and showing the customers almost no engagement. One blonde girl was actively drinking a beer while we were there. I know it's a pourhouse, but c'mon; be professional.
The beers on tap were good. They had a good selection. I'll give Trails End that. But the tipping vibe almost felt mandatory.
If I'm pouring my own beer, what am I tipping the staff for? ? If they were engaging & willing to talk, then this would have been a different & more positive review
One visit was enough.
