First time here and they have an awesome beer list with like 30 beers on tap. They also have nightly events, like trivia and the like.

Strong tap selection and great staff. Unfortunately, the tater tots, even the "Cajun" ones, are lackluster. The other snack options might be better.

Drinks are great, chairs and tables are a little small and awkward, staff were all super helpful. Food is basic, but not overpriced.

Purchased tickets for a comedy show at their place, and they didn't have available seats for us. They weren't even checking tickets so there was no point in purchasing in the first place. The vibe there was cool very comfty casual, but wasn't able to be there long enough to enjoy any food or the restaurant bc of the hustle and bustle. Smelled good. Will definitely not be going to any events here lol

Only one reason they are getting one star.I used to live in a condo around the corner from this location. I have a TON of points accrued. When I moved out of the neighborhood, I’d stop by every 3 months or so to snag a growler on the way home.The last time I stopped by, I gave my number per the usual and asked how many points had I accrued. Turns out, they zeroed out my account.They zeroed my points without as much as a text message to tell me what was going on. And it’s not like they didn’t have my contact number. They used to have a super fancy copper pressurized growler/keg. I had enough points for that and still have a ton left over.

We've stopped in here as our go to place nearby OHSU Bond the last few years. It's very casual. One time I had to sip a beer for a couple hours waiting for my wife at OHSU and there was no rush. Doggies allowed out front I believe. Sue our bartender has been there almost each visit. Very nice, kind and intuitive. Beer is very good. (Beer is good!) I had a Belgium from Bend and even got a growler to go. We'll refill it at their Astoria location next time to the coast.

I appreciate they have a nice craft beer selection but the interior is pretty cold and lacks interest... my cell service didn't work so I hoped on their wifi and couldn't use half my apps... had a beer and left.

Been here a few times and overall they have a diverse selection but it's just simply dull. The staff is nice and often offer samples which is great but the atmosphere is pretty dead.They have several small-medium sized TVs throughout the room but the issue is... the other side of the room is completely dark, literally. No lights on or TVs on. I felt isolated. It would be nice if they put up some string lights, turn on the TVs, an arcade game, air hockey or something fun (but they do offer virtual golf which I am a bit confused by how that works) and some more lighting. If they can make this place more welcoming Id go more often, and they would get more business.I hope management reads this and makes an investment towards bringing more life to this place. With that said, it's still a chill place but it needs some love.

It's a Growler Guys. Plenty of selection and zero atmosphere.This is the most dirty G.G. I have seen yet, the rugs are taped to the floors and look like they have never been cleaned, The entry doors were smeared with greasy handprints and the air smelled stale.There were tons of little flys everywhere and of course one ended up in my beer.The server was running around with a tennis racket shaped bug zapper and zapping them around the taps.She suggested I keep my beer covered to prevent any from landing in it and then proceeded to give me a dirty used coasted to cover my glass YUK!

Staff is polite, but management sucks. I had french fries from down the block and was told I could not eat them in the joint even though I was drinking their $6 beer. Terrible judgement on management part. I will not return.

Really wonderful servers and so many options on tap! Non-alcoholic options are good, too. Super fun neighborhood spot, the food is decent bar food. We come for the people and the atmosphere. Outdoor seating is nice and fun to people watch. Did I mention the bartenders and servers rock?

Part of our regular routine. Great selection of brews and ciders on tap. Outdoor seating (east facing) is good for summer afternoons.
