Good informal environment. Good appetizer menu. Good selection of beer and other drinks. Nice place to hang out for a drink and snack.

Stopped in for a few drinks. The beer was good, but the mixed drink seemed to be missing something. Atmosphere was good and so was the music. We sat at the bar and service was spotty and difficult. They could use an extra hand or two for the bar service.

Food was delicious. Service was awesome. Very friendly staff. Great place to come after a long hike on the trail or just to hangout for an afternoon/evening. Ivy was fantastic and made sure our glass was never empty and our bellies were always full. She's the bomb.com!

Our first visit today. Went in a party of 5 and service was quick and the beer was good. I had crab cake sandwich and the wife had pulled pork which were good. Everything was fine till it was time to pay the bill. We had no receipt as the server went around with a card reader. The first issue was the tip choices at 20%, 25% & 30%. No. I said custom.. Well the server could not get that to work. Finally I was able to leave a 15% tip which was very good for level of service. I am NOT playing this high tip game. So, we left then as we were driving away we realized that the bill was way too high. $69 for 2 drinks and 2 lunches. But, with no slips we could not check it.I am sure it was a mistake but you got us once. If we ever come back will will check everything. I don't like this paperless system.

Wonderful local brewery. Staff and brewmaster are very friendly. Nice selection of beer including a core menu and rotating seasonal options. I really like the Freight Train Ukranian Gold.The food is also really delicious. Thursday night smash burgers are not to be missed and the pizza is some of the best you can find locally.Outside seating on the patio is avaliable seasonally and dogs are welcome on the patio. They also have live music, open mic nights and trivia. Vortex is a really grear addition to the area!

I firmly believe in writing reviews in hopes that the constructive criticism helps everyone improve in the long run. That being said I’m giving 5 stars because in my own industry reviews are highly important and my paycheck and livelihood is affected by them. I very much enjoyed my visit to this new brewery.That being said it wasn’t a perfect visit. About 15 minutes sat at the bar another couple walked in with their young child and seated themselves. I thought it was very strange and uncomfortable as a bar is not meant for children to be sat at. Having a minor taking up a bar seat is also a seat lost to a tipping customer. It wasn’t addressed by the staff as being a problem but for other bar patrons it likely was, as it did for us. I also thought it was a legality but after further research it seems as though it isn’t, but still very frowned upon because of reasons stated above.I enjoyed my food. The pizza I thought was good and the sauce was different but I liked it. My SO however ordered a French dip sandwich and did not like it. She stated that it tasted as tho it was smoked too long and after trying a bite myself the taste of charcoal was overpowering. When the bartender came over she picked up on this immediately and very first suggestion was to either replace with another item or comp the sandwich, and we opted for the comp and split my pizza. I thought this was fantastic service and very happy with how it was handled.The drinks were great, service was great, and I’d love to return in the near future to try out some of their other options on the menu.
