The beer that Steve and I had was the Red Band which is a lager which I enjoy the majority of the time. Flavors to find with hopefully fun involved are malty, sweet (a natural sweetness probably from the flaked corn involved), hoppy, crisp and clean in the finish. Typical for this beer type it was light bodied also. Swag was indeed purchased here as I knew the likelihood of this happening was high and I got a very nifty t-shirt from the transaction.

We loved the arcade with several pinball machines and an old arcade cabinet with a few classics. The beer was IPA focused and they are masters at making tasty beer that hides the alcohol. I smoked a few and loved them all: Helmet Nachos, Everybody Wants Some, and South of Eleven. Good truck is just outside. We ordered and loved the southwest nacho fries. Tasty and a huge portion. Staff were uniformly friendly and answered our questions (I had many about the beers). Definitely will visit again when heading to Columbus.

They provide customized menus as a special touch. As there are three selections on four on the courses, the dishes do not appear to be as customized for those with dietary issues. Jamie was our primary server providing a friendly and professional service. For my order, Three of us started with the Crostini while my wife had the Pave. I really liked the flavors of the Crostini, scrumptious! I had a bite of my wife's Pave and thought the texture and tastes superb! Preparing for the second and further courses was my a put off! We were asked to keep our utensils for the future courses! Nothing like dirty silverware sitting on the table dirtying up the area! At this price point, used silverware should be taken and replaced with new! That is the reason for my 4 of 5 stars. We experienced the same during our first visit two years ago and had hope it was resolved after mentioning to staff. That said, it was the only put off of our experience. For the second course my sister and I decided on the Scallop Arancini while my wife and mom went for the Zuppa Toscano. Again, the Scallop Arancini was amazing and scrumptious! The flavors were terrific! I tried a few spoonfuls of the Zuppa Toscano and thought it missing seasoning. The third found 3 of us ordering the Salmon Oscar while my wife ordered the Grilled Cheese. The salmon was rare, which I particularly like but the crab was cold. My preference would have been warm war with a bit of the béarnaise on top. My wife's Grilled Cheese was very tasty with the preserves but looked lonely sitting on the plate. For the last course three of us decided on the Pumpkin Crepe and my wife the Apple Spice Cake. I thought the Pumpkin Crepe to be a lovey presentation and very tasty and my wife enjoyed the spice cake. All in all a lovely experience overall! Thank you!

This dinner was an incredible experience. The food, the caverns, the service…read more... The prohibition dinner is a 9 course meal served in an underground cavern that was used for aging beer, and likely more shady activities during Prohibition. The cavern has been updated into a dining room and bar. It does run a little chilly, so be sure to dress appropriately. It is also damp and you have to take an elevator down. Factor these into your decision. Let me also say, this is not a cheap activity, and not for picky eaters. They are very pleasant and accommodating of dietary restrictions, but the was a wide variety of flavors and textures that you need to be willing to try. You pay in advance for this activity . We were met in the little reception area by the servers, and taken down to the cave for a tour and to get settled. We did not purchase the wine pairing, but were offered wine by the glass as an add on, and chose from the pairing list, as it was easy and available. my friend and I both enjoyed a glass of Rose. Once we were seated and settled, we saw 2 other parties come in and were seated, back to front, in the cavern. there are 3 seatings, and they stagger your arrival. First up was the bread service, including a butter candle that melts down a lava rock onto your bread. Very fun, and the bread was wonderful. The fry bread was my favorite. I think the menu is seasonal, so I won't share too many details as it will likely be different if you go .The next course was a savory flan in an eggshell, which was really good, and had a bunch of crispy accompaniments. We also had a smoked salmon course, and a veggie fritter that I would order as an entree, it was so good! The main was duck, and I love duck. Finally, we had a really fun dessert that included white chocolate mousse, apple cotton candy, apple cake, and a streusel bit. I loved it. The portions are on the smaller size, but don't worry, we were very full at the end! The servers were so attentive and all very well versed in the menu. they do a great job pacing service per party and making you feel welcome. This is, to me, a luxury activity, and my party really considered it worth our money, and really enjoyed our experience.

I drive from Columbus about 2x a month or more depending on what they have going on and they usually do. Absolute best beer garden which makes sense they have been voted #1 by USA Today's Reader choice. I've been coming here the last couple of years - heard about it through someone I knew. They host craft markets, farmers markets, mini shows to bigger ones - North to Nashville has played here. The beers are good and the service is great. Parking is across he street in the field - they have foods trucks and constantly post on their Instagram about the food trucks. It's an old farm that has been converted into. Brewery - lots of space and tables inside. Great seating outdoors as well - bring chairs for shows bc tables may be taken. There is a trail along the backside so sometimes you'll see people riding horses. It's close to Alum Creek and is Grear for star gazing in the summer. I love coming here to get out of the city life. Sometimes I'll bring a book, grab a drink and just hang out. Really good spot. Enjoy!

Oh and don't try to make things easier on the group you are with, I was told everyone waits in-line when I tried to get a drink for someone in my group who didn't do their time. Lots of rules as mentioned in other posts...we slid two tables together so our group could sit together. (You should put s sign up about this!)Pretty quickly someone came out and separated them telling us if we do it "everyone will think they can too"! Not very customer friendly business in my opinion.

Sweet in front with a bit of a dry finish. You can taste any of the house wines if you like. Which is totally good. Test before buy. We did not eat just had a drink. Server was nice and accommodating. We sat and talked and watched some of the Olympics. Nice time for about an hour. Handful of people came in and out.
