Has really gone downhill since being sold a few years ago. Beer list and menu are both uninspired. This place went from the best beer list and beer-centric menu in Sarasota to any random dive bar. Used to go here on a regular basis but last time was embarrassed after raving about it to a friend. I guess they’re just treading water until the property is sold and razed for another condo building.

What a great local place!! New favorite find 4.5 Stars only because I feel like they could add some seating and make it a little more user friendly. That's it - that's the bad. LOL! The rest is all good. Amazing in fact. So we came here with our daughter in town for spring break. The vibe is light, but real, fun and friendly and not at all quirky. The sun is setting and we are seated outside and the weather is perfect! It's a very relaxed feel and clearly everyone here is enjoying the place. There are families and kids playing in the outdoor game area. My wife got the strawberry lemonade cider and really likes it. I got a flight of beer as did my daughter. The Sunlight Cream Ale... boom! Amazing! Love the Kentucky Bourbon Barrel as well. Now for the scoop on the... FRIED PICKLES! Yes! Finally pickles done right! These were hot out of the drier and yet not all greasy. Super crispy and plenty of dill flavor to offset the dipping sauce. Wow. We love this place! You will too. But actually, don't tell anyone. We like the small, local vibe!

Great beer selection, good fried pickles And great atmosphere! Only downside was the staff wasn't very friendly, which is usually the easiest thing to do well! We'll give it another try because everyone has bad

Amazing smash burgers and they even have a gluten free bun. Enjoyed a perfect afternoon on the patio with a delicious honey apple cider. Will be back!

Good food, good beer, good service! Great place for a casual dinner or to enjoy a couple cold beers.

Great environment and service. The bartender Alyssa was attentive and Dan the manager was very helpful when it came to the menu and drinks. I recommend the chicken strip appetizer! Will definitely be back!!

Rating is for the service as we didn't even get a chance to order food. Our "server" took our drink orders, dropped them off and then promptly disappeared for the next 25 minutes without taking our order.Apparently all the employees do "everything" which means nobody does anything. Atrocious service and their only excuse was the back of the house was behind. A good business would give their patrons a check in.The cherry on top, as we were leaving they were clearly pointing and laughing at our group. Ridiculous. Don't go here.Food and Beer a block away was amazing and took care of us. Walk over there instead.

If I can give this place no stars I would. The service is the absolute worst I have ever experienced and they don't give a s**t. We are waiting for everything- I reserved a table for 9 at 6:00 and the table wasn't ready and we waited to sit. We waited to order we are waiting 30 minutes now and the food still hasn't come. No one comes around to ask if we want another drink. We had to get up to order a drink. OMG! This place use to be good. I'm sure it will close soon- I won't be back and I live a block away. They don't know how to run a restaurant. We are still waiting. U hope they read this - they will know who I am. Service is important!

Flannel night was a lot of fun in the Garden! Great selection of beers and hard cider. Bartenders were great. Good vibes all around.

Been a few times since new ownership came on and this is definitely a spot to chill or bring a party! The updated menu (mostly cooked-from-scratch) is amazing!!

Great place! We brought a group of 25 and they were incredibly accondating and efficient. Food is high quality, good beer selection, great service.
