The band started 35 minutes late. The manager isn't even here for their event. They stopped food service at 9 or 9:30 AND table service for drinks and didn't even tell anyone to get in line so I got in a line ten deep with only TWO bartenders on! Then after the server told us that there's no table service we get up to the bar only to stand next to AN ACTUAL SERVER SERVING TABLES! Can you say shit show? I must say though that the band is sounding better and I can finally hear the guitar. Oh and I had to bus our table myself and the table next to us never got bussed the whole night.

Most of the reviews for this brewery are misleading, most of the food options listed aren’t on the menu-albeit a special menu or seasonal options. I enjoyed the Alaskan cod fish tacos and my husband-the prime rib dip, both were fantastic! The fish tacos seemed to be deep fried to add a crisply element to the dish-it is a grand slam! The prime rib dip is packed full of beef and reminiscent of a calzone. Packed full of flavor-we weren’t disappointed!

Went here for an event hosted for the Wolverines. Met the owner, a jolly guy at the end of the bar who recommended a fantastic IPA. So many choices there so was happy to have a good one chosen for me.

Disappointing that they took the meatloaf off the menu. Pizza doesn't taste right. Kids don't eat free anymore either.

This review is sort of hovering between 3-4 stars, but we'll grant some forgiveness due to today being Iditarod race day and it being absolutely packed. All our service was friendly, though cautionary (could be a long wait, food is over an hour, bartender is behind..., etc.) All that said, our 4-top was seated in under 10 minutes and our food was pretty swift. Charcuterie plates are pre-made, so no wait at all. As well, non-alc drinks came promptly. The rest of the food arrived in fits (Poke nachos, halibut tacos) and spurts (fish & chips and "table fries.) Side sauces were apologetically forgotten and by the time the food was eaten, we still hadn't seen our beer and cocktail orders. We asked about them after the second drop of food but the food-runner was underage and unable to follow-up. Once our original server returned, he explained that the backed up bar lost the ticket and they would fire them asap, which they did and the drinks were good. The porter was slightly heavier than expected based on its description, but it was solid. This location was rowdy tonight and the images projected behind the stage were a little juvenile (zombie cartoons.) But! The music was lovely (80s pop deep cuts) and I'm sure the live music that was planned for later in the night would've been great. Kudos to the staff for keeping their positive attitude and not getting derailed by the mayhem.

This is my favorite spot to watch the game with the boys every week! We all look forward to seeing Charisma! She keeps the energy high and light, her name sure does do her justice, she is awesome as a server but it's super awesome to see how talented she is at her job overall. The way she can serve while doing manager duties and run around the restaurant and help other servers is impressive. She seems like she can do it all without even batting an eye. Don't even get me started on that smile. Anyways, will be back next week:)
Food and service was good but subpar to how good the blueberry back country beer ??

Great tacos and service. Not to expensive and good portions. I know its a beer place but I don't drink so I can't comment of that aspect.Kid-friendliness: There were plenty of family's enjoying the food and atmosphere. It is a bit loud with everyone chatting over the music so toddlers and babies may not be as comfortable.

Matanuska midtown is a great place to stop and grab a good pizza or burger with a friend. The atmosphere is very relaxing music & great and sometimes they have highlights on the big TV. The menu is pretty much the same from Eagle River Matuska, but there are some differences here all in all both places are relatively the same and I recommend both.
