We stopped in late afternoon on a Saturday on our way from PA to MD. We thought we could see a light house from here (according to a map we looked at prior to going) but, alas, no such sight. We had an enjoyable time anyway. They have self serve beer however we sat at the bar and just ordered from the bartender. There were several beer options but we only tried two. We liked the Squeeze IPA. Our bar neighbors were friendly. The bartender was also friendly. We had a side salad and some wings - you order separately but the kitchen is on-site. The food was ok. The place was pretty full but not overly loud or uncomfortable. There were some people celebrating birthdays. They are dog friendly. Parking was easy - it was a big lot.

Nice place to get together. Love that my friends can ride up on their horse!

I really enjoyed this brewery. I would have never even known it existed as it's tucked deep into a business park area. When we arrived, we noticed the rules posted on the entrance - they allow dogs! The bartenders were so friendly and personable. They we even chimed in on conversations sometimes, but not in an annoying way lol. We got our tap card which links a payment card and your ID to it. Note - you do not have to pay with the payment card that was linked to the tap card. We explained that it was our first time there, and the bartender patiently explained what to do. We took our tap card over to the wall of joy (that's what I'm calling it lol) and made our selections. I do wish that they had more seltzer options. They only had one at the wall. Apparently they also have 2 frozen seltzers on hand normally, but they were sold out at the time. As far as ordering food, they had a tablet set up where you could put in your order yourself. Then they text you when it's ready and you go to a little window at the back of the building to grab your food. We got pepperoni pizza and fries to share. The fries were amazing. I love shoestring fries, and they were well seasoned with salt and pepper. The pizza was ok, nothing spectacular but it wasn't bad. Overall we had a great experience here and will definitely be back.

Great beer selection. Great food. Super nice servers and a beer wall. The tap room is super comfy. I love the other patrons. Everyone so nice. What more could you ask for.

I freaking love this place! I recently moved away from this area and the thing that saddens me the most is that I'll no longer be nearby this spot. This place has the option to be self serve, but you can always head up to the bar and order whatever you'd like. They also have items with a higher alcohol content behind the bar. Poole's serve every type of alcohol except hard liquor! They have wine and seltzers in addition to beer, so anyone can come and enjoy. I'm not kidding when I say they have some of the strongest and best wine around. They normally have a food truck on site for you to eat while you relax, but I would love for them to have their own food and menu! The vibe here is open, friendly, and beautiful when it's nice outside for the outdoor seating. This place is super dog friendly, so you can bring your furry friends. I used to frequent this place time and time again when I lived in the community surrounding it, and I miss it dearly!

Wow great beers but was totally surprised with my bill. Didn’t know there was a service charge. Need to pay as I go

Waited for 10 minutes with my family and nobody came to seat us. Bartenders just staring. Nobody took initiative to greet us and to get the hostess. So we left...

Second attempt to visit this brewery in the past three weeks and both times there is a private event taking place. Nothing on their website to indicate this and had to drive 35 minutes both times to find this out.

Go here if you like really bad beer. I had things that were unidentifiable by taste. Nothing was well made. There are better local establishments that deserve your money.

Every time I travel, I try a local brewery. This one was outstanding.It’s a huge inside space and very modern. Theu have bar seating and a variety of high tops and table seating around the taproom.They have a cool pour your own wall so you can try and drink at your own space. There’s also a decent sized outdoor patio.I tried several beers including the smiths golden, schatz merican pilsner, bay haze and the squeeze. The bay haze was outstanding and perfect on this beautiful day.There was a local food truck as well and was delicious.I highly recommend this brewery. They are dog and family friendly.

Nice place tucked away in business park. Food trucks are good and beers are solid with some very light ones for those not into IPAs. Self pouring wall, so you pay as you drink.

Thank you for hosting our sailing group. Everyone had a fantastic time. Service was fantastic. Brews are really good. I highly recommend this place.

I decided to pop by here today as I saw they have a DIPA. It was a very fruity DIPA and wasn't for me. I found the beer here to be very fruity or chocolatey. Definitely not my jam for beer but the atmosphere is nice and the owner was also very nice. I can't say I'm a fan of the self pouring stations either.
