“We had a fantastic experience at Zeus Brewing while visiting from out of town. Maria, our server, was absolutely AWESOME —she picked the perfect beer flight for me, and everything she suggested was spot on. The Reuben burger was absolutely delicious, and I can't stop thinking about the peach and basil beer—it was such a unique and refreshing flavor. The hostess also gave us great recommendations for things to do while we’re in town. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!“

“Amazing local community watering hole! Best bar food in town. Drinks are made with love and so is the food. The bar is full of all the classic bar memorabilia that make this place feel like a Time Machine in the best way! The staff is also amazing friendly, funny and professional. One of the only places that are still cash only which add to the nostalgic vibe. Perfect place if you want to enjoy a drink without all the extra frills!“

“Great shop. Great coffee. Great staff. Great goal. If you have made the switch from buying larger quantities of poorly made things with no shelf life to smaller quantities of things of quality (albeit for a price), this is your spot. Things of quality have no fear of time.“
