Here for the eclipse. I guess they didn't plan for it since we walked in, sat ourselves as directed by the sign, and there was a single bartender working the entire place. No one came to even greet us for 15 minutes. We noticed other tables were sitting there with their menus closed so we figured we would never actually order in a reasonable time and just left. Maybe it's good, but it was definitely short staffed for such an iconic and once in a lifetime event.

We stopped in here for drinks & had a great time! Our group of eight was able to be seated right away (even though we went on a Saturday with no reservation). The espresso martinis were yummy (although they could use a little more espresso flavor in my opinion), service was quick & friendly, & the draft list had something for everyone. The ambiance is nothing special, but I think the vibe of the place is supposed to be more casual anyway. I would definitely go back to try the food sometime!

Absolutely amazing craft drinks, mix drinks, food and atmosphere! It's such a wonderful vibed space that is suitable for all age groups and families. The servers are all extremely kind and fast paced. I really enjoyed the Bloody Mary. I highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!

Can not recommend enough skipping this place. First there was a hair in the drink, the server did not care nor comp it. Then the order was given wrong on our burger, then the server changed her mind at random and wouldn’t let us split an item despite us specifically asking ahead of time if we could. Caught off guard by just how awful the service was, go anywhere else.

Darts, bubble hockey and craft beer. Cool place. Autumn Mule was way to cinnamony, but besides that all of our drinks were good. Service was a little slow but the place was packed and there were not many waitresses working. Great place to hang out with some friends.

A true local craft beer brewery . Not a corporate fake craft beer bar. When you are here just notice the beer does not have the extra sugar or preservatives the fake microbrew places have. I recommend the West Coast IPA. Just honest beer.... Which should be their tag line.

A loud bar atmosphere. The beer list was not what was listed online. I went there solely to try the Octoberfest beer only to have it not on the list at the venue. The nachos were huge. The pastrami sandwich was dry(though the meat was tasty).

Can not say enough good things about this place! We were in EVL for a weekend trip and went here as one of our stops for drinks. We ended up staying here the rest of the night and really got to know the bartender Ryan and the cook as well. Both were very friendly and had lots of drink recommendations that of course we tried and loved. We even came back the next day for lunch and the food was great. We will definitely make this a must every time we come back to EVL!
