Joined the mug club last year and have really enjoyed Up North and the people that hang there. Lots of good beers, a cider or two and a CBD on tap with cans and bottles to go that match what’s being served. They rotate through beers like crazy so you know most likely you won’t see what you where having last week (so drink up yo!) A great wine selection + stuff for the kiddos.Food can be brought in from other places and Pollo Bravo is right next door and are so good about bringing your food over when it’s ready.And what really makes this place are the peeps behind the bar.

My go-to for a beer or two on my way home, for cool surf lifestyle gear, great taps and the beertenders are your friends, greeting you with a "suuppp" when you walk in. Cool, laid-back vibe and a cast of regulars that you can count on being friendly and in a good mood.

This is my favorite go-to spot on the way home for a beer or two. Everyone is friendly, they have two tv's with either surfing/snowboarding/skiing/sports on at all times. Nice selection of taps with IPA's or lower ABV beers like pilsners or lagers, and a fridge with cans if you want to expand the selection. They have wine and other beverage options as well, including N/A beers and kombucha. People and beertenders are very friendly and a nicely curated selection of surfboards and surf lifestyle gear, including hoodies, tshirts, shorts and jackets, hats, books, candles, soap, incense and deodorant. They also have a chalk board up on the wall where you can buy a beer for a buddy and 'pay it forward'. Another cool bonus is signing up to be a member of the 'mug club', paying a fee and getting discounts on beers and merch throughout the year, plus you get a personalized mug with the bar logo on it and your member number. At the end of the year you can take your mug home, sign up for another year, and get another version of the mug. In terms of food you can bring in whatever you want or order from the roasted chicken place right next door, which is nice to have access to, or from another restaurant in the same building. It's definitely BYOF friendly!Bottom line is that Up North should be on your list of places to check out, you will not leave disappointed.

Surprised I haven't reviews this place yet. Love it here. Not a huge selection or brews but a good variety. Super chill and comfortable. Not a lot of indoor seating, but a few good tables outside. Like to come here and have a beer before getting food or just to hang and do a little drawing, or watch a game. They have a couple tvs above the bar. Very dog friendly and there is nice merch available. Bar tenders are friendly and helpful. Make you feel like the coast is just around the corner.

Good selection of tasty beers at reasonably prices and chill atmosphere. Dog and baby friendly. I would only suggest burning slightly fewer incense.
