We came here for some food and to try some new beers, and it turned out to be trivia night as well…read more We were late for the trivia so didn't formally play, but we did have fun answering questions anyway. We got the big flight of beers to share, which has all of their beers and seltzers - like 19 different kinds. Yeah, that was a lot, but we didn't finish them all. But we did enjoy them! The place is beautiful with a very industrial brewery look to it. The staff could not have been nicer. Seriously, awesome folks. We did get one of their pizzas, which was very good. Even the leftovers the next day were great. I'm glad I don't live here as I would likely be at this brewery a lot!

But the interior was very cool and the area was very pretty. They have a nice outdoor patio, inside bar and table seating. Plus they have several arcade games and sweet merchandise. Service was friendly and everything was clean. They had quite a few beers on tap so I opted for a flight. I sampled the cramden bike-fruited sour, Punchy the clown-sour, Bangers-Strawberry Rhubarb Piehole-gluten free sour, and I Gotta Have My Hops-imperial ipa. They were all really good but my favorite was the strawberry rhubarb. It wasn't overly sour but was more sweet and was just a nice, light, summery drink. For dinner I had the Cuban B-smoked pulled pork, ham, pickle chips, honey mustard, and Swiss cheese on a hoagie roll. It came with a side of fries. The Cuban was delicious. The flavor was Smokey and sweet with a little acidity. It was really well balanced and was very tasty. Highly recommend. The fries were crispy and crunchy and not overly salted. I'd definitely order them again. Highly recommend that you stop in if you're in the area. If we end up around here again, we'll definitely stop in again.

We went here on 4th of July weekend after the kids baseball tournament (we are from out of state)…read more Inside is a good size, sports bar-ish vibes. Public parking is close by. It's probably a 15 minute walk from Grand Harbor hotel. We came for the burger variety and milk shakes. Unfortunately they were out of ice cream so not everyone in the party got to enjoy shakes which was disappointing considering that was one of the selling points. Server was very polite as we know it wasn't his fault. Burgers were fantastic. Breaded Fries had great potential but a bit greasy for me. My son ordered a plain burger but was served a fully loaded. When the kitchen server came out and asked whose burger it was, we said it wasn't ours because he ordered a plain burger. She stated that it must be this one and handed to him. No harm done as he's not allergic to lettuce, tomato or pickles (kind of...he's a kid!) but just a miss there considering it wasn't the least bit busy. While I appreciate the casual atmosphere and table graffiti, they were rather sticky. There was a film on them so thick you could scratch with your nail. When your arms stick to the table it's a little annoying but it was upper 80's and humid. If I was local I'd give it another go. If you're visiting and love burgers, try it out as maybe we just had bad luck on a holiday weekend. Burgers were A+, just minor misses but nothing deal breaking unless it's a common occurrence.

Where do I start. First ordering was quite challenged by the fact that they were out of chicken…read morewings, avocados and ice cream. This is what we know. The food took a long time to make. The order was wrong. The chips in the chips and queso were stale. The chicken and avocado sandwich without the avocado (since they were out) was grilled so that some pieces were too hard to eat. The southwest salad had lettuce stumps. They did have good TVs so I give them points for that.

A different Yelper mentioned coming for "brunch," but it quickly became clear that she meant she came before noon for lunch because it was not a brunch menu. We really enjoyed what we ate and liked the atmosphere even though a hipster bar vibe was not what we originally expected, because we thought it was a brunch place. I will definitely read such reviews more carefully in the future, but we had a fantastic experience, anyway.

Found out about this brewery and barbecue restaurant in Galena to get some local beers and lunch…read more Galena Brewing Company has been a long time favorite around here for hanging out. It has quite a few beers on tap to choose from in a few styles. As for the food it's pretty average. There's a lot of meaty things. Crowded place with a bar area and tables for groups. It's best known for the beers obviously. There's a pretty great variety on tap. A lot more in bottles and cans. It's about $7 a pint. Best we had of these was the Oktoberfest. This is a Marzen lager that's rich and smooth. As for the food it's mostly meaty choices. It's about $5 to get the Sweet Potato Waffle Fries. The rest of the menu has smoked brisket and pulled pork so the place is meaty. Got to say the beers are the best things to get here. It's closed Mondays and Tuesdays. There's a new name for this place but it's still the same beers along with some more food and whatever.
