First time visiting this neighborhood gem and it did not disappoint! The cocktails were perfectly balanced and the beer was delicious. I would definitely recommend the shishito peppers, charcuterie board, bread, duck, and pork shank - they were all incredible. Will be back again!

We ate here two years ago and had a fabulous experience. However, this time around we had a different experience. On a positive note, the service is very good. The cocktail menu is fun. But, the food this time around was not as special as it looked on the menu. I had scallops that were too salty and my husband had mussels that were bland. We were surprised given our previous visit.

Excellent, eclectic menu and cocktails. Not as loud or crowded as most restaurants. Meals were reasonably priced, especially considering the quality of the ingredients. Nice to have free parking as well.

The host made us feel unwelcome from the start. Whatever. Had 3 different servers thought the meal only one seemed genuinely to not hate our existence in the building. Not one of the servers asked if we wanted anything to drink lol it’s a brewery. Ordered beer cheese, great. Ordered the burger, great. Ordered the mussels, definitely cooked with an open dead one. Ruined the whole dish. I send back maybe 2 dishes a year, this unfortunately was one of them. One of the 4 severs replaced it with a salad which would have been so wonderful if the poached on the salad was undercooked with snotty raw egg white.

The food options are excellent with creative combinations of vegetables and sauces. We shared four dishes and found them all excellent and offered plenty of food. If there was any drawback, it would have been nice of the dishes were staged out over more time --- something we probably could have asked for.
