Really cool spot, great vibes with a cool bar, seating areas with TVs, and open to outside in nice weather with garage doors. Nice outdoor space too. Beers are good but on the pricey side for a smaller than average serving.

Stopped for lunch on a weekday. Had a flight and all were good. Cheese curds and salads were very good too. Service was attentive.

The food was excellent! I had the short-rib tacos and would definitely get those again. It's a fun environment, family friendly. We waited a long time for a server to arrive but otherwise the service was fine. The drinks are okay. I would recommend this place for the great food.

We hosted our son's wedding rehearsal dinner for about 50 people and Exile did an outstanding job! Great buffet with vegan and gluten free options. Excellent service!!

Good place to go by bike and spend some time drinking a beer and eating some snacks. They have a huge variety of different dishes but only one or two option for vegetarian people so that’s my main criticism. Prices are okay.

Cool brewery!

Solid food and brew. Will return. The reaper burger needs fried jalapeños on it instead of the usual. Maybe put the truffle fries treatment on them? It's good it just needs something and I think that'd smash.Dietary restrictions: GF options are good ?

Exile is always a great choice for lunch or dinner. During the winter they have the snow globe bar set up which is fun and festive. The brussel sprouts are fantastic and there seems to always be a new beer to try when we visit.

Had lunch at the Snow Globe Christmas pop-up. Great atmosphere. It was beautiful decked out! Our waitress was so patient and accommodating. The cheese curds were some of the best I have ever had, and of course, their own Ruthie brew was perfect! I'll be back!

The Christmas pop up is so incredibly cool. We had a rowdy bunch and the server did so well. All staff was great as were the drinks and food.
