“My husband and I went for the first time and we loved the atmosphere. The food and the beers were amazing, and the rest of the staff was very attentive and friendly.
There was only one small detail: we ordered a cauliflower dish and, while the waitress was bringing it upstairs to our table, I noticed she picked up a piece of cauliflower from the plate with her hand and ate it. I didn’t say anything because it wasn’t a big deal for us, but it is something that should be handled more carefully.
That being said, I am still giving this place 5 stars. One bad action by a single waitress should not be a reason to disqualify the great atmosphere, the food, the drinks, and the excellent service provided by the rest of the employees. We would definitely come back.“

“Had the great fortune of trying this Hazy IPA before meeting the owner Kelsey Grammer and watching him pull beer for a few hours. This beer is outstanding! it doesn't have that hoppy bite and has a refreshing citrus finish. Put simply? it's delicious. Looking forward to more amazing beers coming!!“

“My boyfriend and I really love this place. It was a happy accident we stumbled upon it in the first place - we were actually looking for a different brewery. The food is absolutely delicious and I love the different flight pairings they do each month! Im always looking forward to the next one. The beers are, quite obviously, delicious which is the man reason we always come back. The bartenders are awesome as well! Always friendly, remember us and engage in great convo. I recommend this place to anyone I talk to! Great local spot.“
