    Tons of places to sit inside and outside! I'm not even a beer person but my husband is and they have super delicious beers that even people like me go "WOW THATS DELICIOUS" and they're packed with pretty good percentages so you get a nice buzz! I highly recommend for a date or for lunch! The food was pretty good too! We had the chicken quesadilla and it comes with house chips and we loved it! I highly recommend this place. Staff had great customer service skills and service as well. They are super speedy and efficient and keep a good fun vibe. They also are super knowledgeable of their products.

    Great atmosphere! The cozy, dark, moody decor is on point. Lots of seating, multiple gathering areas and easily accessible bar and bathrooms. The Asian Chicken salad, on the Specials menu, was delicious. The chicken was warm with great flavor, the salad had perfect crunch and texture with a nice dressing. Great portion. ($17) I do wish they had more on their appetizers menu. I am not a pickle fan and was craving something with crunch other than the chips or pickles that were offered. Perfect spot to bring a group of friends or to have a date night. Will come again.

    Food was the bomb! SO said it was a 10/10 for the tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich. I had the hero and it was delicious other than the Swiss cheese. I'm not a fan of Swiss and there is just with or without it, no substituting with one of the cheeses they put on their grilled cheese even. They must pre-make their sandwiches and then just press them when they're ordered. You must wait in line to order food and beverage at the bar and then also go pick the food up at the kitchen yourself. Don't ask me to tip if I'm the one coming to you for the food and then drink and you done have to even leave you 3'x3' space. Seating downstairs and outside is available but the couches and chairs are more than worn. Kids running around downstairs definitely killed a lot of the ambiance here for me. There is OVER 21 seating in a loft upstairs but it is less accommodating for just a couple unless you want to sit on short metal bar stools at a counter facing various views-like the stairway. Huge conference sized table upstairs but there was a larger group there so we just grabbed to large leather chairs to try and eat at. I had their Red and it was delicious! Full bodied and smooth from start to finish. My SO loved the MACRO DOCE IPA so much she even bought a crowler to take home. She had never done this before in the dozen or so breweries I have taken her to. Wineries - yes, but buying beer to take home, this was a first.

    The food here is a blend of pub food with a Korean/Asian twist. I love their Beerwurst. Also ordered their Korean Reuben and that too was good! But this place is a brewery so if you are into it, try this place as a local watering hole besides the good food. Good! Service - really just order and get texted when the order is ready Ambiance - rustic brewery feel. Quite unique and is in the middle of a business area. So a hidden gem. Verdict - yes. Give it a shot for sure
