Great selection of beer and cocktails! Had a tasty breakfast pizza on the brunch menu. Pizza of the month is always fun. Our bartender/server Matt was fabulous!

The atmosphere is very nice and the food is GREAT! Sometimes the service is over-the-top amazing, but too many times the service is disappointing and lacking. They allow pets (not just service dogs) and this is a problem when the patio and outdoor areas cannot be open. Also, they allow customers to order food and feed their pets (a big no no per the Health Department) and servers and staff are careless about petting the dogs and then handling food, drinks, menus without washing hands. And this happens constantly!!!!! And of course, parking is a nightmare because this is Hillcrest. There are so many other places nearby that offer much better food, drinks and service.

Good beer, great pizza and fantastic service. Love being able to stop in by for a casual drink or some food and watch the game. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a casual atmosphere.

Me and my girlfriend came for the first time today and we had a blast! Tons of the people from community were at the bar and we met some new friends everyone spoke highly of the place as well. Matt was our bartender and took care of us exceptionally. We had a couple margaritas and wings and all of of it was super tasty. If you're looking for a good place to grab a bite have a drink and relax this place is perfect!

Their pizzas are amazing. Great beer selection and conveniently located by the farmers market. Stop by and say hello.

Enjoyable locale, friendly staff, good pizza (including some unusual ones like Mexican-style pork), good beer selection, interesting cocktails, and good music that provides a nice backbeat without overwhelming conversation. A nice place to hang out. My only wish would be more beer options from HBC itself. I prefer a brew pub to showcase more of its own brews.
