Update: Heard it is closed. Sad day. ..Anyone know what’s going on with Half Lion ?? I have been by a couple times in the last few days and it’s been closed. I’ve called their phone number a couple times and every time all I get is just a voicemail. I hope it’s not gone. We love going there for drinks and the food is always good.

Nice interior and friendly place but the beer and seltzers are not good.

Originally went to the Sumner location with my father for lunch, the refrigerator was down so they told us to try to Kent location. Arrived at the Kent location to be greeted and served by someone who was very unwelcoming. Then almost every item on the menu, including drinks, they didn't have ingredients to make. Service was terrible, it wasn't busy and I had to go to the bar to ask for service. I had left my car at the Sumner location to ride with my father. An hour or so later, I returned to have my car locked in the gate even though the closing time was 7 pm, they made me late to work. The only redeeming quality was their tar tar sauce. -10/10 wouldn't recommend.

Okay, so like everyone else... the building is great and they have a nice outside seating area. They were pretty empty when we got there, just one other guy. The hard seltzer was okay. The spicy margarita seltzer would be much better if it was more spicy, like jalapeño slices in it. Again, I get it's a brewery so that's probably not going to happen. On Saturdays, the food truck is not available until 3pm, which was kind of a bummer but it happens.

Beer choices were okay. Staff were very friendly.Food truck fish and tots were excellent. The place needs some pinball machines and maybe a shuffle board, plenty of room for both!

Half lion brewing is a seriously impressive brewery. They have a large taproom with a great selection of beers. They have a food truck on site offering a variety of food that is mighty tasty. Kids and doggos are welcome

Everything was fantastic. Great service and cool vibe! We got a pretzel Rueben with fries. The fries were super crispy. My kids got pretzel bites the serving's were huge. We got haze ipa and sun top both were great!

Absolutely wonderful experience here! We had the burger with tots and the fish & chips, everything was delicious. Also tried a bunch of different ciders and they were great too! Definitely will be back for more!
Stopped in after a round of golf having seen the taphouse from the freeway. Great experience all around, from the number of TV's to the design of the taphouse and the food truck, I will definitely be back!

Great beers. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Warm and welcoming environment. Add it to your rotation.

The beer is great, but, the on site food truck is marginal at best. Since you can no longer bring in outside food, more and better options need to be available.

Visited this bar yesterday with a couple friends. Atmosphere was great until we encountered the bar manager Natalie. Being a manager of an establishment myself.. it was awful to see how unprofessional she was to her guests. We sat down and got ID’D. Then 1 minute later another girl walks over and ID’s us again. We say “oh the other lady just checked them” but we pulled them out anyways. Was also odd that there was three of us.. 2 females and a male (all the same age) and only us females were ID’D.We order our drinks and go back to conversation with eachother. Natalie abruptly walks up to us gets right in our faces and starts telling us they have the right to ID us as many times as they want! Starts going into policy and procedures with us. Talking to us like we are children. Then processes to say “so do we have a problem!?!” We were so shocked by this encounter we didn’t even know how to respond. This lady is going to ruin this place. Natalie needs a lesson on customer service. Will never be back after that disrespect!
