Delicious pizzas and good beer. What's not to like? We live just up the hill, so it's extremely convenient for us to pop in here on occasion. We are older folks, so we like to get in and out of here before the after-work crowd shows up. Things tend to get more lively and louder -- which is fine. Anyway, so glad they opened up in our neighborhood. We will continue to support them.

What a wonderful place to spend the afternoon! With live music, the beautiful patio, delicious pizza, and cold beer- who could ask for anything more? I saw people of all ages, from 6 months to 60, all smiling and having a good time. I wish I lived closer!

The ambiance was great. Parking is terrible !!! But if you carpool with people it's not bad and can make it work. They have everything you need with beer and pizza and wine ! Great place for a group and dog friendly !

Great ambiance to hang with a variety of options! Haven't tried the brewery, but the meadery is excellent (didn't even know I liked Mead!), the winery has some fun twists, and the pizza is great with good dietary considerations.

First time visit, been on my saved list for a too long. We waited too long to visit. Love this place! Wine, beer, cider, mead, (& sodas for the kids) delicious pizza, live music ! Not too loud so you can talk, family friendly & dog friendly. Great service from each vendor on site. My wife and Inwill definitely be back with friends! Great date night.

This is a cool music venue that is nestled in between Deft Brewing and a Mead place as well as wine. They also have a pizza truck that serves delicious pizza. Place is dog friendly.

We've been wanting to try this place for some time now. The patio is sprinkled with beautiful olive trees and other greenery - hops, etc. Fun fact: you can "adopt a hop." There are a few drink places to choose from- Lost Cause Meadery, Oddish wines, and Deft brewery. The food place is called Pizza Cassette and has delicious pizzas including a vegan selection. We had The Queen, Rossi No cheese (vegan) and The Sting pizzas. I stopped by Oddish for their Red blend and my husband had The Red IPA at Deft. The server at Oddish was so lovely and we had a great conversation about the wines. Love that the bottles read "unfiltered and unfined, it's OK, relax!" Overall a relaxing experience with delicious food and drinks. Kid and dog friendly as well!

One of the coolest gems tucked away in SD on your way into downtown. Good vibes with the pizza and options of the brewery, coffee, winery and meadery

Great spot to gather with a group! Live music was great, pizza & sandwiches were delicious (though a bit pricy) and there's drinks for everyone: beer, wine and mead. Casual & just walk up to get your own drinks. Will definitely be back.

Great hidden gem. Live music was great! Can get packed and it's open seating. Going to make this a go to spot!

They have a small wood fired oven outside. The pizza was delicious and perfectly crispy. It is a very thin crust pizza though, but I don't mind that. They had live music when we went on a Friday night and the ambiance was super cute. It was pretty packed. They also have beer on tap and the beer was also good! Service was good as the food came out relatively quickly, though you have to order the food yourself at the counter. Overall, a nice place to hang with friends with a cute atmosphere :) Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5

Just had dinner at the Gärten and was very disappointed. The pizza was below average and very expensive. They ask for a tip before any service was given so it's a difficult situation. Asked for a towel to clean the table as was told where I could get some napkins. I had my grandson with me and he wanted ice cream so I bought an $8 scoop of ice cream. They did have good music which I enjoyed and a nice atmosphere.

Great food, beer, and atmosphere. Love the live music and the fact that it's dog friendly.

cute little intimate winery/brewery that has a live band playing during the day. Stopped by with friends and was blown away at the oddish's wines (the Meade one is so sweet and good) so we went over to Lost Cause Meadery and got a flight from them (not pictured). And wow definitely gonna be one of my new go to spots to take friends who visit the area! I love sweet wines and the prices are so affordable! Definitely a vibe! Come check out this place if you're in the area! The only thing I'm eh about is parking if it gets busier.
