Cute brewery with good food and delicious beer. Family friendly! The green pizza was delicious! Flights available to try 4 beers.Vegetarian options: Several pizzas and salads are vegetarian friendly.Kid-friendliness: Great options for kids. Bring a game! I like that they address watching kids. Next to a river and railroad tracks. We bring our family to breweries all the time but sometimes we see parents let their kids run wild which really ruins everyone's experience. They encourage responsible parenting in a fun way.

Went for pizza for my kid's birthdays. Staff made sure they felt special. Pizzas were amazing. Tried the cheesecakes for the first time, German chocolate and funfetti, kids didn't leave a crumb behind. Highly recommended

the food was decent but kind of pricey for the small portions so not worth it. it is very strange that they are mostly a pizza menu and only have a small sized pizza but no other size options. parking spots were hard to find but they were busy. Also our server, Amy H, got our order then disappeared til it was time to bring the bill, she was training someone which seemed questionable as her service sucked, some green haired lady brought our waters & plates for our pizza as they never gave us about right away. Seems like a messy system to have multiple different people bringing food/drinks when the “main” server never checks on you. They also kept ringing an annoying cow bell for a birthday which was very loud & distracting. The pizza WAS good but I don’t think a second chance is in the cards for me. Little disappointed as I heard good things.

The beer was quite good and the soup I had was decent. I’d probably have enjoyed it Moore if I hadn’t just come from the dentist office, but that’s on me!

It was great listening to Three Good Men! It would be nice to see them there again in the future.

Pretzel is great! Pizzas are good but can be a bit greasy. Beer is good and they have a nice variety. The outdoor deck is great in the summer!

Solid choice and just ANOTHER reason why Byron, llinois is a hidden gem for food, fun, and friendly-folk.This food compares well with Chucago fare for 40% of the price of those "big city bistros". Great coffee as well.
