The fries are the best that I have ever had!! The service is good too! We went there on St. Patrick's day, the green vibe was pretty awesome! Just the bagpipe performance didn't show on time.

TLDR: WISH I COULD GIVE 0 STARS! Got charged for top shelf liquors without any specification for that. Bartender knew he could take advantage of our young ages.From the second we walked into the establishment, the bar tender did not show an ounce of warm behavior as an employee should. I am not sure if it was him be skeptical of our ages, but in that case we all would have willingly showed multiple forms of ID to confirm our ages/names. I can understand the questioning of our ages as we are 21 and 22 year olds, but continuing to treat us differently because of that assumption is not professional in the slightest, especially when choosing to celebrate a birthday at their establishment. From there, we opened a tab and ordered shots and mixed drinks without specification of a specific brand of alcohol (assuming they would give us wells unless other preferences are specified). Charging top dollar for drinks is one thing, but blatantly overcharging a group of young adults who are out to have a good time is downright predatory. As the night continued we got more drinks to celebrate a birthday and next thing we know we are all awake the next morning, not sure how we got home the night before. To say we were over served would be an understatement. I fully take responsibility on the fact that we all should have cut each other off, but it is also bartenders jobs to make sure that everyone in their establishment is coherent and in their right mind to at least get home. Thankfully we knew one of the employees who was able to help us get into an Uber. I had to reach out to the establishment to get a copy of our bill because none of us remember closing it out (because we didn't). A round of shots and mixed drinks turned into a hefty tab with mysterious charges that no one in our group had authorized. Once getting in contact with employees we found that we were served for 25 drinks in 2 and a half hours to 4 girls. We got charged for Kettle One Vodka for our shots and Buddha vodka for our mixed drinks. For those who don't know what Buddha vodka is (because we did not), it is a fancy, swanky bottle. We were also never asked our name for the tab when ordering drinks even when different people ordered than the one who originally opened the tab.The sneaky tactics employed to rack up the bill without consent is disgusting and clearly a target toward the fact that we were younger women who he thought wouldn't look twice at an expensive bar tab. He thought wrong!Following all of this, I was encouraged to speak to the manager about our experience. I called and politely attempted to recreate what our experience was from the past weekend and he simply said "What are you wanting me to do about this?" You would think that I would have been met with an ounce of respect or even a simple apology would have made my friends and I feel better, but he did not offer that. He claimed he would investigate this and corroborate the story with the bartender but did not even ask for a call-back number and so I am not expecting anything out of that phone call. I just wanted to share for younger women who are going out to bars like these so that they don't get taken advantage of like we did.

UPDATE: This is one of our favorite spots. I left my original review (below) a few years ago. They've made several changes to their menu and management of the kitchen since then. We love their food, and the staff and management are terrific.My wife and I really tried to love this place. Great location and atmosphere, and we love their beers. But food had been consistently mediocre and overpriced. Twice within 2 weeks, we were charged significantly more for our meal than was on the menu. 1st time, my son ordered chicken parm listed on the menu for $19 which is a lot for a plate of pasta and a piece of chicken. But was $23 on the bill. They said they changed the way they charge for it but hadn't changed the menu - now was $19 for the pasta plus $4 for your choice of protein. Not much chicken on it either. Next time, big sign on the wall and flyer in restrooms said Monday special was $8 any of their burgers. Got the bill and were about $12 each. We asked and they said beef was too expensive to offer the special. Both cases we were very polite bringing it to their attention, but they were very unapologetic, just basically said "yeah the menu is wrong its actually this price." We may go in for a beer every now and then, but we're done with their food.

Came for all you can eat crab legs. It’s a joke. Slow service ran out of crabs. It’s awful. Don’t go.

Maybe this place is better if you're just coming for beer. The location is neat, the open patio is lovely, and the beer is good. The food is very average. I want to try it again in the summer and try something else from the menu besides the burger (ok), Caesar salad (meh), and chili cheese fries (woefully short on toppings and very bland).

Fantastic food and drink ,, energetic atmosphere

This is not the place for me

Thi is a neat brewery/bar in a residential area. I bet it is really popular with the locals. The food is your typical bar food, but they also have some good barbecue. There is a dizzying number of house beers and guest beers too. The bartender was extremely knowledgeable about their beer and liquor offerings.

Although good, it's your typical bar food... nothing special. Their problem is in not answering their phone! How can I place a to go order if you won't answer? This means I have to go in, wait 10 minutes to order, and wait another 20 minutes for my order. No more. Secondly, keep the dogs out of the inside portion of the restaurant. It's against health code and is really annoying!

Great local brewery

If I lived in this small town, this would be my spot! I came to visit family in Indiana and they took me here. We literally ordered the entire menu. The table hardly fit all our goodies. Onion rings, margarita pizza, nachos and all! What a fun place to go! Food was good and beers were decent!

This is a good local pub to have in the village. Their home drafts and rotators are all very enjoyable. I’m always surprised by how little money I spend here despite ordering several drinks and appetizers… the prices are very fair. Services is usually decent though I have seen them understaffed sometimes when the restaurant is busy. Food is also all very good and comes out relatively quickly.
