Really nice array of IPAs

Don't know why but the ABV on the draft menu doesn't match the one on the cans... *I don't know what I'm drinking.
Dishonest or poor quality control?

Great vibe, solid food and interesting beers. Plus, your queer kids will feel welcomed and safe! We tried the ginger carrot saison and the peanut butter chocolate porter. Both were good beers, but I didn't get a lot of peanut butter in the porter. However, it had a nice, smooth chocolate flavor. Being right next to an REI is a bonus!

This would be a four rating but why did they change the cheese curds!? They used to rival the Mouth Trap at MN state fair, but the new version is not good. Overall, the rest of the food is pretty good. The quesadiva and onion rings are great (cheese curds used to be). Fun vibe, cool events/drag shows, friendly staff and a nice selection of beers. It can be a bit pricey… fried pickles should not be $14!

Nice space, great beers, fun names

25 dollar flight is ridiculous

Good gastropub fare, enticing weekday specials ($6 smash burger (with fries!) on Mondays, Taco Tuesday, Thirsty Thursday discounted beers), laidback bartenders and food staff, interesting beers. If you like pickle beer, they have two of them, along with the usual array of beers. Slightly more IPA heavy, but there's something for everyone here. I've had nearly everything on their food menu and all of it hits the spot, special shoutout to the chicken tenders with the mambo sauce.

My only complaint is that while they have a dog friendly patio, it can often be hard to get a table outside and there always seems to be room for one or two more tables, in good weather and bad (they have some covered areas for when it rains, but not a lot, and even then there's table space unutilized).

Great place to make a regular haunt if you're in Union Market/NoMa.

Solid brewery with a good arrangement of on tap beer to choose from. Chicken tenders were a bit fewer and more slender than I would have liked for $14.

Like the events. Found myself accidentally walking into a night of drag bingo.

Visiting for a concert. Very good service cheese curd and chicken bites amazing, I didn’t like my drink (not a big beer fan) and the bartender was very accommodating making sure I got something I would like …… would come back to 10/10

Fantastic beer selection and friendly staff!

We visited on a Friday afternoon. We enjoyed several 6oz pours. I loved the Hefeweizen, my husband loved the IPAs. We also enjoyed the burger sliders with beer battered onion rings and cheese curds with a sauce that blew our mind. Fantastic experience for beer and pub fare. Highly recommended!

Felt like a local brewery. Chill vibe. We got the pretzels and chicken tenders to share and a couple beers. Plenty of space.

We had the chicken wings, and wow were they a lot and yummy. Had some interesting beer; I'd recommend the beer something about rosemary.
