“For years I thought that the focus of this place was selling dessert pies and pint size beverages (shakes, etc) for families. More like a version of Pie Plate, if you remember them from Waterbury. Then a friend talked about going there and was shocked that I never had been. Once he mentioned the beer selection, I knew that I had to check it out. Unfortunately, I am now moving from the area but I have been going once every week or two for the past year. They really do have a great selection of craft beers on tap and in cans/bottles. A lot of rare beers, as well. I usually grab a small pepperoni & mushroom pizza, have two beers and save the rest for lunch the following day. The staff is amazing and the clientele is a mixed bag. Some chill people but also a lot of cocky people who either are rich or pretend to be rich. This is really odd because there is nothing pretentious about this place. But outside of that, this is my favorite place that I unfortunately only found out isn't a place for desserts, this past year.Parking: The only thing that I would say about parking is to slow down to a creep as soon as your GPS tells you that it is coming up. Very easy to miss because it sits well below street level. And if it is icy, don't even bother trying to make it out that steeper entrance/exit.“
“The place was inviting. We enjoyed chatting with the owner and some of the patrons. The house dog welcomed us warmly. Very sweet. My husband had a 16 oz. Octoberfest, and I had a 4 oz. of a black larger which was delicious. I tasted the Octoberfest and liked that, too. We split a pretzel - very tasty. They were selling Danish meads, and I brought one home. There was even a patio, but we sat inside. My husband wants to go back.“
“Locally crafted ales and lagers with deep roots in the community. Superb IPAs, world class lagers, decadent dark ales and an ever rotating line up of fruited sours, English milds, German pilsners, Czech lagers, American pales, Double and Triple IPAs, blondes, saisons, peanut butter porters, imperial stouts; there's something for everyone! Nestled cozily in the historic Oakville-Watertown landmark Pinshop.“
“It’s a great atmosphere here. They allow dogs and they have corn hole and other games. Good beer selection both draught and cans to-go. Everyone seemed to be having a good time!Continuum Distillery is in the same lot and they had live music outside. We got a cocktail there too and it was great! These businesses complement each other well and you can tell they have a good relationship.Definitely would recommend this place to everyone.“
“Real nice vibe and friendly staff. Just popped in to meet some family for a real quick drink as we were passing through town and happy we did. Inside looks comfortable but enjoyed the nice lighting and outdoor seating. Super cool and relaxing joint hidden in the back of a commercial area. Almost thought we were in the wrong place, but found it nestled in the back and a long a cute wooded area.“
“Great selection of craft beer lots of IPA's.typical pub food prepared off site but close by. Live entertainment, karaoke and trivia. Can be crowded and therefore quite noisyUpdate: Thursday 7/13, 6:15 pm. Very quiet, plenty of seating at both, bar and table. Expanded menu, but took longer to arrive, maybe because off site preparation site opened for dinner.3/17/24 UPDATE. 6:00 pm. Birthday party in progress, but, tables available. Service was a bit slow but there was a crowd.“
