Predatory! You start a tab and serve yourself, ringing up what you drink by the ounce. Their drinks are very expensive and definitely sub-par (especially the mixed drinks and wine). When you're ready to check out, you can either leave your card in a box to auto add 20% tip, OR have the cashier check you out while you awkwardly leave a smaller tip (which starts at 18% or more!). All the drinks are pre-made and you dispense them yourself... why do they even ask for a tip if they don't do anything?!?
What a rip off. Never coming back

I've been here a few times now, all on either Saturday or Sunday afternoons. Very relaxed place in the suburbs. A few TVs with sports. The vibe is nothing special, although I have not come at a time when they've been busy or having a special event (e.g bingo night, live performance, etc). The beer selection is great. Indoor and outdoor seating is spacious and comfortable and tables are large enough to spread out a bit. Service great. Beer tenders are always helpful and friendly. I will certainly go back.

My credit card keeps getting charged.
I ordered through their app. The original total before taxes etc. was $29. Then when paying, it said I that a charge of $38 was approved to my card. It was a $10 jump but I thought “ok they just added a 30% tip” which I don’t mind. I support tipping. It is a fairly large automatic tip, but whatever. Then this morning, I woke up and my bank statement said $45 was charged PLUS a current card hold of another $5. So my entire meal for just me ended up being more than 50% than what the original total was sent to me. I will not be going here again.

Love the ability to pour your own beer so you can try a little of everything. They have a great selection for beer drinkers and non beer drinkers alike. Lots of seating both inside and outside

Not a brewpub atmosphere. Self service taps that cut you off. Food is good.

A surprisingly huge place in the small town, with three floors including a cozy bear cave in the basement. Up to 50 self-serve Taps where you can sample many different beers. Staff was friendly. Menu is mostly what look like interesting pizzas, although I did not eat during this visit. I will be back to try out the food! The only shortcoming was a lack of electrical outlets for my laptop

Very interesting model for a brew pub. I would like to have an opportunity to spend more time here. I didn't get to sample their food but my mouth was watering seeing the pizzas and other food that was delivered to nearby tables.
Wheelchair accessibility: The main floor, at least is accessible. I didn't see whether or not there's an elevator to the upper floor. Restroom accessiblity is good. I didn't see any accessible parking. We parked on the steet about a block away. The public sidewalk isn't great for wheelchair access but it's passable.

The brisket chili should be permanently put on the menu. Best chili I’ve ever had

Don’t stop here. Tried a cream ale, super foamy. Had less than a full glass and mentioned to a worker after she showed me 22 ounces poured; I checked because I was curious. Told me let them know the next time it happens and they’ll pour me a new one!!! lol, I let them know the first time!! 10 oz beer and 1/2 margarita $28.20. No tip-never again!!
