Staff was super nice. The pizza not so much. Lacked flavor. No basil on margarita pizza. I've never seen that before.Beers were good. Deffy go back for beers.

Was really looking forward to this place after the great reviews.Walked in. Some empty tables filled with garbage, others were full. We weren’t sure whether to seat ourselves or wait to be served. No signage, no staff, only bartenders.We decided to sit at a dirty table since thats all that was available with my 9mo old son.The scan menu at the tables was nice, but we had no idea if we could order our own flight or had to use their preset ones. Went to the bar to ask. I waited 10 minutes and gave up. I’d like to think that they were just under staffed and not ignoring me. I went back to the table and my wife gave it a try. Eventually luck had it, she was served!We paid $1 extra for a custom flight which we were cool with. The beer was hit and miss. I really liked their Turtle IPA.I’d love to give this place another try because I’m hopeful it was just a busy day with over worked staff, but man…what a let down.

Recommended by family... what a great place and their beers are fantastic.. This coming from a cocktail drinker.. Place was full and active and staff was on the ball.. Much enjoyed.

Great beers and atmosphere, and they have a food truck. The pizza was good and the pretzel is as big as your head. ;-)
Don Bower
Excellent beer and lite food. Good service and great staff.
John Hoffman
Beers were top notch, including the guest brews. We ordered multiple different flights. Food from the food truck was tasty. The place is good size with a fun outdoor area. Definitely would come back.

Ankrolab is an awesome spot to stop and grab a beer (or two). The bartenders are great, the beer selection is solid, and the beers themselves are delicious. If that isn’t enough reason, the burgers and pizza from their food truck are absolutely top notch. I feel bad for anyone who visits Naples and doesn’t stop in.
Food is great and great selection of drinks as well. New method where you can't order your own food or go up and get your own beer and sit down is awful. Takes 15-20 minutes before a server even comes to table at night. Should go back to old system I want a beer or two and to watch sports. Not sit and wait for 30 minutes before I get my first beer.

Very typical brewery experience. Nice relaxing atmosphere with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating plus a food truck. Luckily, we hit happy hour from 3 to 6 on Thursday. $1 off every beer! Excellent! After lamenting over the menu, we decided to get the Hoppy Flight, which is Four Play Pale Ale, Turtle Season NE IPA, Surfin’ Turtles West Coast IPA and Mangrove Juice NE IPA. They all tasted great but not like any IPA we’ve ever had before. They were flavorful but not smashing you in the face with hops. Unexpectedly, we ordered the Pumpkin Spice Amber Ale and Four Play Pale Ale. Both were delicious. We’re coming back as soon as we can.

Nice brewpub with lots of outdoor seating and a food truck. I recommend the Turtle Season IPA.

I've been to this place many times and was really disappointed this weekend. The overall vibe was just different. People were very territorial over by the lounge area where there's a table-top shuffleboard that made things super awkward. They say it's dog friendly but yet asked another couple to leave because they had complaints of dog hair. Either you're dog friendly or not. I didn't see the owners there, so can't fault them for their success. I hope things don't get away from them because our entire party, there to celebrate a special occasion on my recommendation, would never go back.

Author's Note: The following 3.5/5 review is just about the food. The beer is always great, so 10/10 recommend that.---Been here a bunch for happy hour and trivia, but finally tried food from their food truck on Friday night, so giving a proper review. :)First of all: THE FRIED PICKLES. Get them or you're missing out. The woman who dropped them off at our table is in charge (I'm guessing) bc she was telling us all about her process for making them flavorful and crispy. I usually don't prefer the chip style pickles best, but I will be getting these again and again because they're THAT good.Unfortunately our second item wasn't on the same level. We ordered a pizza (Luigi but sub sausage for the mushrooms), however the pizza came out smothered in mushrooms! We apologized, but asked them to remake it because we won't eat mushrooms and my receipt clearly showed the sausage substitution... the kind woman who had brought the pickles apologized and brought it back to the food truck kitchen, however when the pizza returned, it was sad. As in, soggy, not hot and clearly just had the mushrooms removed and some sausage thrown on top.There's definitely potential I just wish they'd remade the pizza instead trying to save a couple dollars on ingredients because that was a disappointment for sure.
