Went here for a show; vibes were cool but I was upset they charged $10 for parking after already buying a fairly expensive ticket to see a show. Then I paid brewery prices for canned beers. If I'm going to a brewery, I expect some draft options.

Live band, great service, mediocre food, and mediocre beer.

The waitress was attentive and helpful. Great service. The kitchen however...

The special looked amazing but alas, the special was from another day. Ended up looking at the menu when I was told it wasn't being served only to be left completely underwhelmed. The special looked amazing - it looked like it was so full of flavor... why is the menu so bland and lame? Ended up getting a grilled chicken sandwich. Chicken, lettuce, tomato on a bun. Super boring and lame. Asked for mayo for my fries... ended up putting it on my dry chicken sandwich.

Beer was meh. No depth to the flavor. You get punched in the face with hops, but the palette doesn't develop past the first punch in the mouth. Gimmicky names and flavor profiles. I had two beers; both were not balanced in flavor and left my tongue begging for closure.

Maybe update the menu with the creativity you used on the special? Great place to bring my elderly parents - with the lack of spices and flavor, I doubt they'll get heartburn or indigestion.

I do not recommend the pub cheese plate. I am vegetarian, so my options are pretty limited here, but I was very hungry and I love cheese. I expected a creamy cheese I could dip the chips, cucumber, and carrot into, possibly even warm. but it was cold, not very flavorful, actually tasted and looked more like butter than cheese, and was too hard to use as a dip. I smeared some on the sliced veggies with a knife, but they were just better without it. Vey disappointing to pay that much for a few potato chips and veggies sticks and barely edible cheese-like paste.

I was there for a food truck festival so I can't rate the brewery but the experience itself was awesome. Good layout, can tell they've had many many events here. Good selection of food trucks. DJ in the seating area was chill and fun. All in all a cool place. Will be back for more fun activities soon.

Beware of going to outdoor concerts here. We went to the Cake concert, and bought VIP parking tickets. For one, there were not enough food trucks. Each had a line that was at least 45 minutes.
Then, it started to rain and thunder right before the concert started. Communication was horrible. There were a few staff walking around telling people to go back to their cars to wait out the storm. There was no place to take cover except at the entrance where there was an overhang. It was packed with people so we went to our car. Then another staff member came to our car to tell us that the show had been cancelled. So we left.
There was NOTHING posted on social media for us to refer to.
About 30 minutes of driving away, we see people posting on Instagram saying that the show was not cancelled and had started!
I asked Cisco for a refund, and got no answer. Ticketmaster won't refund because the show wasn't cancelled. Go at your own risk.

Keep coming to this place for the nostalgia, but the food and beer disappoint me every time. Sure do miss the Red Hook.

Almost got rained out earlier at the Cake show but we waited. And Cisco Brewers waited for rain to pass and let Cake come out and play much later than scheduled.

Cake show experience as others commented was horrible. Was told show was canceled by staff when trying to get back into venue then heard they went on for short set. Please refund!!!

Went for a cake concert that was taking place during a sever thunderstorm warning. Concert got postponed, then security crews at the gate were turning us around claiming the show was canned. Turns out they went up 20 min before the town ordinace required them to stop playing. Tickets were extremly expensive and if refunds are not given out it is borderline criminal. I've been to garage concerts with more organisation than this disaster.

The facility was new to us and was enjoyable. The headliner, not so much....
