Excellent food from scratch kitchen, tons of beers and wonderful service. Stopped in to check it out on a Friday night. I was shocked it wasn't busier but it was after dinner rush. Quaint/cozy feel but enough space to bring a larger group if you want. The food was excellent! Thys was at the bar making us laugh and serving up all the beer we could drink. I appreciated the samples when I was sure which beer I wanted to try. I love that you can get 4, 8, 16oz pours or even growler if you want. Great happy hours and oysters for $1 on Thursdays!!! Can't want to go back.

The place was empty when we walked in. That should have been my first red flag. We ordered the chicken Caesar wrap and Buffalo chicken wrap and a side of coleslaw. My wrap had a weird chemical taste. Maybe it's just me, but when you get a chicken Caesar wrap you're thinking cold salad, warm chicken breast, right? The lettuce was hot, and the tortilla looked void of all color. The Buffalo sauce smelled and tasted weird. It was not like any Buffalo sauce I've ever had. The coleslaw....my gosh- it's vinegar sugar water soaked cabbage. It was so disgusting I spit it out. We ordered a soda and a water. The water came with no ice. I was ok with that, but how odd. Room temp water in a room temp cup. Like, why?Will I come back? No.

We're from out of town and this was a great place to enjoy a cold beer & dinner. The jalapeño poppers are awesome, the burgers were just as good! We loved the beer selection and the staff were amazing too!

Wow! 50 beers on tap! I'd love to give this place more stars, but not this time. Here on a Sunday afternoon and a few at the bar, so not very busy. I asked for the chicken avocado sandwich to be made as a wrap and was told that people ask for that, but they don't do it because the wrap breaks??? They did try using two tortillas, and it worked just fine. The chicken was pretty dry, but overall, it was a decent wrap. The buffalo chicken dip wasn't spicy at all, and no Frank's available to spice it up. I had to request ketchup for the fries, and salt that I never received. We also tried the pretzels, and those were pretty good. We may try again as the burgers looked amazing. If you don't want the food, at least give one of those 50 beers a try!

Went here based off of Google reviews and we are glad we did. We are just staying the night in town as part of a road trip.The service was great and the place is nice.I didn’t have any due to already being tired and driving early the next day, but they had large beer selection that I would have liked to try.I ended up having the black and bleu burger. Kiddo had the cheesesteak wrap. Wife had bbq burger. We got pretzel with beer cheese for an app.The pretzels went fast. They were nice and fresh and the beer cheese was really good. Wife really liked her burger. Same for the kiddo and her wrap. Wife tried her wrap and really liked it too. I love my burger. I just wish it had s little more bleu cheese on it. It reminds me of a burger that I used to get at a steakhouse back home and is my favorite burger. Again, love it.

Onion ring sauce was Excellent, the flash fry left them crunchy. Sidewinder fries also not done. Great tasting craft beer, tried Chestnut Zwikel and Mango cart. Chicken Quesadilla way too spicy. Carnitas queso was good. They were "Out of Chili, Potato soup and Oysters."

As I always say we come for the beer. It was a good selection of beer and we were happy to try a few things we don't get in our neck of the woods. The description I saw online was for 100 taps and it wasn't that many available but enough to satisfy any craft beer lover. My only disappointment in that area was not enough stouts or porters. Two of the beers I ordered had the keg kick which isn't necessarily bad it means they don't have it sitting around, there is turnover. Food was nothing to write about not bad not incredibly good either. The 2 guy's working one front of house doing everything and other in back were phenomenal. Worked as hard and fast as they could and it was fairly busy. I hope this place makes it but I worry for them. Not utilizing all the taps and so so food makes me think something should be done soon to put them on an upswing.

We came in on Wednesday night when the cards were playing pretty worried it would be packed. When it wasn't, i was a tad concerned but the food was on point. We had Buffalo chicken dip to start and honestly my boyfriend would have licked the bowl if I wasn't there. We both had burgers and fries. They hit the spot! And the fries, as funky as they look, were so crunchy and yummy. Needless to say this is the perfect environment to enjoy good eats, a wide variety of tap selections, and watch a game! We will def be back.

Great local taphouse with a wide variety of beers on tap at great prices. Food is scratch made and always delicious. You can't beat half priced apps during weekday happy hour. Support this locally owned gem. They offer growlers and custom canned beer. Worth checking out.

Simple, straightforward and good. Our burgers were both cooked to the temp we ordered and had a really nice sear. Yummo!

Great beer selection. The bartender, Sierra (who also covered the tables in the restaurant), was super knowledgeable and friendly. The food is solid and better than you would expect for a beer-centric place. Also shout-out to Nick, the owner (and cook one of the nights we were in) who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. This will definitely be a regular stop when we're in the area.

Nice staff. Sometimes they're out of stock for certain drinks. They should figure out a way to label this for the customer so when they finally decide what to drink they know it's in stock.
