It's a place where you're encouraged to linger over your meal, play a few games, and truly soak in the vibe. There's no rush here; no hovering staff pushing you towards the door. Instead, you're met with warmth and friendliness that's becoming increasingly rare. The owners, who are often present, add to this welcoming atmosphere.

Beware of negative reviews at this time. The business is being cyber bullied by taco truck fans..

Love this new brewery! Excellent beers and selection, all of them have been good so far. The staff are all really nice, and they have shuffleboard! Appreciate that they have a full bar, ciders and lots of GF and vegan food options...no Vegemite tho! ?

This place was a tad bit off the I-5 route but we like to seek out tap houses, micro brews...places like this. Nice little joint with the typical tap house decor but where they really stand out is with their small batch/small barrel brewing. You're not going to find these beers in a store and that's a shame. Truly a craft beer hub. Something for everyone and me. I had a nice burger and the wife enjoyed this savory vegetarian dish, love it. They also have a food truck park right outside and allow that food inside. Check it...worth the drive.

Very nice and clean atmosphere. Live music was enjoyable. Our waiter, who might have been the owner, was very friendly and helpful. I got the outback burger and the bondi babe hazy IPA and both were great. Prices are a little high but worth it!

Love this place! The food and beers are amazing! Friendly and passionate staff here. We are new fans of Australian beers now! The food was very good also and we were very excited that they had shuffle board here! Can't wait to go back! Nice and big inside, good for bigger groups!
Lisa Nichols

We came in tonight and were greeted right away by the friendly bartender and his recommendations were on point along with his knee high socks ?.We played a game at out table as we we waited for our pizza .The atmosphere was homey and friendly with a nice gentleman playing music ...Then our pizza arrived we chose the one with pears and blue cheese and added bacon..One word AMAZING...As we were eating the owner came over and asked how everything was as was very caring of us.. In today's day of no customer service this was very refreshing...I did not mention that they craft their on beer ...I had their dark and when I talked with owner he said he has a lot more beers coming this month...In a simple review ...Go and enjoy....Thank you for a great evening ?

We had some delicious burgers, fries and drinks in a comfortable and appealing place - a perfect cozy spot for a cold rainy Friday night. Friendly servers and a top-notch, personable live performer who played at just the right volume. So glad we decided to stop by!

The food was amazing. And the drinks were amazing. We even took some home with us. The place is amazing and their employee are fantastic and super helpful. I loved that they allow you to taste 3 drink and didn't charge us for the tastings. We need up with the ciders because they were so good

Cute and spacious brewery with some vegan options. I gave it four stars because three is not enough, but I would really call it a 3.5. My rating is based solely off of their food because I am not a huge beer or cider drinker. However, looking at their menu, it seems as though they have great options for those who do drink beer and cider. We ordered the outback burger and baked mac and cheese and split it. Between everything, the fries were my favorite item. They were the perfect amount of crispy and "potatoey". The Mac and cheese was weirdly salted on one side but not the other, and a little dry. The burger had great flavor profiles, but the meat had a spongey texture. The one thing I did enjoy about the food was that it was super hot coming out, which is a big plus for me. There are games and ample seating, which would make this a great space for groups or families. Service was attentive, and I would definitely come back if I had already eaten and I were just grabbing a drink to catch up with friends!
