Just recently closed the kitchen due to under staffing which sucks they could make some very good food that matched the price… been there 4 times since the decline in staff and quality of service. Having one person handle 50+ people on a week day is disgusting. She did an amazing job and stayed on top of everything she had too. my glass was never empty and she was always nice even when being treated poorly by drunk customers. She deserves a lot more appreciation than what she was given the day I arrived. The only down side was not being able to enjoy my favorite food when I arrived 4 hours before close other then that the drinks were great and I hope the owners care about the people keeping this place alive or else I will be taking my money some where else. Good luck and thank you for the good experiences.

My favorite brewery in the Shores. Only one that does food, and they have really well executed beers. They adhere to traditional brewing recipes and styles, which hits the bullseye for me. Any beer drinker will be able to find something they like here

I am obsessed with Dragons! Their beer and food are top notch- it's usually our first pick for places to go!If you want to chill on a couch by the fire, or sit down at a table, this place offers it all. Did I mention food?! Definitely a stop that needs to be on your list!
Some poor prepper
Im sad to say my wife and I were extremely disappointed. A fraction of the same brews offered at Dragonmead and none of the great atmosphere. I've been going to Dragonmead weekly for several years now and decided to give Dragons Landing a go. Hard to really say how disappointed I was with my experience without having my review auto rejected by Google.My wife and I walk into Dragons Landing and are immediately greeted by two loud individuals sitting at the bar. We just shrugged it off, customers having a good time, probably some regulars. We sat down at a table that was dirty, which was already a turn off, but there was only one employee working (a brunette woman, who was very nice), so we didn't complain, she probably had a busy night and didn't realize the table was dirty, no big deal. We order food and a beer, then notice when she goes to get our food, one of the two loud guys at the bar (male, frizzy hair, wore glasses), gets up, goes behind the counter and pours a beer. I honestly thought he was trying to steal while she went into the back, until he hopped onto their computer system and rang the beer in, so hes an employee just hanging out and serving only his friend, while she runs around doing everything else, and we sit and eat at a we cleaned ourselves. Lost count pretty quickly of the f-bombs dropped by these two. Don't get me wrong, I dropped a few myself but only loud enough to be heard by my wife in conversation. This is supposed to be a family restaurant where children are welcomed. The beers we ordered, Erik the Red & and a Honey Brown were great however one bite into our food coming, the woman behind the bar told us last call was in 10 minutes, which was wild to us, seeing as we got there 3 hours before their closing time. The kitchen staff also came out after cooking our food and joined the group sitting at the bar. Between having to clean our own table while the frizzy haired guy went on loudly about anime and his dad eating his snacks, to the competing rap music being played (one set of rap/ pop music in the front of the house and then blasting music coming from the kitchen), to being rushed out basically the second our food hit the table, we will not be back. After we finished the food, we paid and went straight to Dragonmead where we should have gone in the first place. Even with Dragonmead being twice as busy and with music playing as well, it still wasn't as loud as Dragons landing. The food at Dragons landing was good, but I'd rather just eat at home and then go to dragonmead, over feeling that uncomfortable.

Small, rotating beer menu compared to their main location (Dragonmead) but always able to find something I like. We love coming for trivia nights! Plenty of comfortable seating and tables. No servers, everything is self-service / order at the bar. Food menu is pretty good and has something for everyone.

This place is owned & ran by the greatest people! All of their seltzers are flavored in house & the food is to die for! Everything on the menu is great, atmosphere is good for game nights as well

So I thought I did a review on this place but apparently not. Really weird I think my reviews might be disappearing Google. But anyway top-notch beers here, always have something for everybody it seems and the food is really good. They change up beers often so something new a lot of the time. Peanut butter chocolate stout was delicious.
If you're looking for lowkey, this is the slowest brewery in the Shores! I've been there countless times and it is never very busy when I'm there. There are always tables or a couch open. :) the Final Absolution is my favorite of their beers. We tried their cocktails this last time and I was not super impressed. I got the Apple gin and tonic. Apple infused gin sounded so good! Unfortunately, I got no apple at all, and I love a good g&t but this was so bitter and it strangely tasted like bitter, flat, root beer. Maybe the anise? I'd stick with beers from now on or wait until the seasonal cocktail menu is shaken up a bit.

The traditional beers that should be good always seem to be flat. Don't waste your time with the food: I was the only customer in the restaurant and I still got pre-cooked--and dry--chicken in my sandwich. Country music plays over the speaker system while you can hear R&B blasting from the kitchen; and I can't get the volume to the game on TV turned on because that's against the rules. Simply put, I was made to feel more like an inconvenience rather than a welcome, paying customer.

Thank you Dragon's Landing for a fantastic 40th Reunion for the Lakeview HIgh School Class of 1983. They handled ticket sales through Eventbrite, the beer was phenomenal (spirits too), food was served on time, delicious and plentiful. Manager Tim and his crew were very responsive and patient with this close-knit crew of 120 rowdies who were really excited to see each other once again (and kept blocking the kitchen door!). I highly recommend Dragon's Landing for your gathering, whatever it might be. If the weather were a little warmer on Friday night, more people would have enjoyed the outdoor patio. If Dragon's Landing will have the Class of '83 back in 5 or 10 years, the party will continue!

Great place, as always. To the entitled dude below butt hurt about their credit card policy--get over it. Having spending many years as a bartender elsewhere and being taken advantage of by "insulted" customers who get drunk and walk out--you're overthinking this, guy. If don't know you, I'm taking your card--company policy or not. No need to be offended. Not sure why you're so bent on this. Just go somewhere else. I'm sure they'd be fine if you left. That being said, my husband and I live in the neighborhood and come in here often. We've have had a great experience each time and would recommend.
