The defining characteristics of this place are its amiable staff and exceptional location. Nestled in the heart of downtown Milford, it boasts convenient parking and an inviting, heated outdoor space, perfect for the early March chill. The views of the pond, waterfall, and tower add a scenic touch, making it a beloved hometown favorite that truly lives up to its reputation. This establishment is more than just a place for drinks; it's an ideal venue for socializing in a pleasant, moderate-volume atmosphere, offering sports viewing if desired, but primarily celebrated for its delightful dining experience amidst picturesque surroundings. It stands out not just as a brewery but is renowned for both its culinary delights and inviting ambiance.The comfort food here epitomizes warmth and satisfaction, with traditional bar favorites served in a charming environment and often given a unique twist. The pretzels, exceptionally prepared, come with a creative dip that tantalizes the taste buds, compelling one to indulge further. The nachos, a consistent favorite among us, and the burgers and fries leave nothing to be desired, each dish encapsulating the soul of classic pub cuisine.Visiting this place is a reliable choice for a casual dinner with our family or a relaxed evening out with friends, ensuring a gratifying experience every time.

I haven't been here in years, as I was not a huge fan. We were in the area as usual on Saturday afternoon and decided to give it a try again. The restaurant has its own parking and I was able to grab a spot. We sat at a high booth in the main restaurant. Table was nice. Good menu. We ordered Cajun wings and burgers. Everything was very good. It will not take me another 10 years to try it again. Ha!

Always have a great time, food usually really good, this time though the waitress was rushing through us due to her shift ending throughout the whole time we were there. Needless to say, my friends and I will be back cause we usually don't encounter such service so can't put blame on everyone else for one person.

SBC has been a "go to" for us for years now. Service alwasys seems to be prompt, staff is friendly, and beer and food are always delicious. Especially over the summer this is a great place to stop for a quick drink at the outside bar. Highly recommended!

The food was amazing - some unique appetizers such as pierogis and soft pretzels with two types of dipping sauce (which were devoured before I remembered to take a photo. Pictured are the chicken sandwich, shrimp gumbo or jambalaya (not my order), and fettuccini Alfredo with chicken. All were very generous portion sizes (we took half of each home). The staff there were incredibly friendly despite the impending snowstorm the night we were there. The view along the window is nice with the little waterfall and bridge. A couple of the pics below are the view that you could see from inside, but we opted to walk across the street after dinner for a closer look. We’ll definitely be back!!

like a garage turned into a pseudo resto/bar? head to SBC! incompetents behind the bar and on the floor? head to SBC! wanna be a big fish in a (very) small sad pond? head to SBC! food is palatable; drinks OK though bartender very busy compensating for inferiority complex.

I placed an order that was delivered by Uber Eats. Unfortunately, SBC left out 2 of the 6 items in the order. When I called them, they knew exactly what they didn't give me, as it was prepped and ready, just not put with the order. They refused to help, even after completely acknowledging that it was totally their fault. It's a shame, because the food they did send was good, but why should anyone pay for a whole meal and only get 2/3 of it? Mistakes happen -- that's not so bad, but their unwillingness to make things right in any way or have someone with more authority contact me to address it was very unprofessional and would make me never order again.

Went with a group of 8 for lunch, and we all left remarking about how good the food was. I had their SBC burger and it was delicious!

Love coming here for lunch whenever I'm in Milford. The place is lovely and the food is great. I got the linguini and white clam sauce off their specials and it was delicious.

Went here for dinner with my husband and two children. The pasta from the kids’ menus was inedible—my toddler literally had trouble chewing it because it was so hard. Not sure if it was left under the light for too long or what. The rest of the meal was fine but our waitress was not particularly friendly. Won’t be rushing back.

We had the Figgy Chicken and a hamburger. The Figgy Chicken was grilled chicken, fig jam, onions and goat cheese on a ciabatta roll. I love the goat cheese and fig jam combination. I rated it three stars because it was a little too sweet. A tad less fig jam and it would have been great. The amount of fig jam overpowered the rest of the ingredients. The service was great. They started out telling us that they were short staffed and that the service was going to be slow. But they actually hustled and provided quick service. I didn't give them more stars because I asked for dairy free options for my hamburger and was only told as the food was coming out that the bun and fries had dairy. So I just had a hamburger with lettuce and tomato on a plate. I would have ordered something else if I had the opportunity.The atmosphere was fun. There were a lot of people there. Our drinks came quickly, the music was just right so we could talk.

Being a long time Milford resident, I can't say enough good things about SBC! I've frequented them over the last several years and have never been disappointed! Known for their craft beers selection, delicious pub food, and casual atmosphere- SBC is a must stop! The restaurant has a great outdoor seating for a quick drink, an indoor bar & restaurant for lunch or dinner and even has a beautiful back event room! They always have something going on, whether it's a theme night, trivia, or game day! Can't forget to mention the food is delicious, served with a smile, and comes out quick every time! 10/10 recommend stopping in!
