They're old-fashioned has an interesting twist and is made with an aged gin. It was good and strong and picture perfect. We also tried the lemon drop. There is nothing quite as refreshing and tasty as a freshly made lemon drop. No artificial anything here. What a wonderful example of the specialized Martini trend made famous through the 90s and early 2000s. We also sampled a Swedish and Danish delicacy known as aquavit. If you are a fan of licorice or ouzo, give this delightfully pungent and aromatic beverage a try. We sampled it straight up, they may have it as a mix in for a drink but I'm not sure. Overall this place is a great experience and really knows their stuff. It was a joy to visit here and I think about it frequently when I remember my trip to Fargo.

They now have more wines and beers to chose from; and they have a great selection of hard alcohol too. The thing I like the best about them is their beer selection. They have a wonderful microbrew section and it's continually changing throughout the year. Lots of brews here that you won't find anywhere else! The staff is super nice and always able to answer questions about what things taste like, pairing your tastes to what they have, and even taking ideas of things to order.

When I sat down with my laptop and my delicious beer, it was quiet. Just after I started plugging away on my laptop and sipping at this great beer, the musician started up. He was loud. I'd have been fine if it wasn't super loud. Like if maybe people at nearby tables could have a conversation without shouting. But nope, this was just about concert volume. 78 to 83 decibels which Yale Environmental Health & Safety says, "Level at which sustained exposure may result in hearing loss." The folks at the next table were shouting to continue their conversation. Friendly service. Great little local brewery. But it was one excellent beer and out. Sorry, Swing Barrel. Maybe next time!

Here's the good, the bad and the pretty... This venue is…read morebeautiful. The grounds are gorgeous and the view through the windows of the space drop your need for decorations down to very little if you just let the outdoor scenery compliment your colors. The DJ was fantastic. High praise, two very enthusiastic thumbs up for his well-timed one liners and crowd pleasing tunes. The bartender - he's the opposite of the DJ. And unfortunately, the awesomeness of the DJ doesn't make up for a bartender who is a bit of a jackass. If you're reading this review, ask to meet the bartender before you book. Don't take my word for it, but don't go in assuming you're getting a whiskey-pouring version of the DJ. That he ain't. Lastly, they are very serious about their outside alcohol policy. And while I understand this, obviously from a profit stand point, what was slightly less appreciated was the obvious lengths they went to in order to police that. It felt a little bit like every guest was deemed 'guilty until proven innocent' when it came to bringing in outside beverages. Maybe it was just us - perhaps we gave off a 'serious boozers' vibe that had them on their toes but regardless it felt over-the-top. If you're touring this space, take it all in. But ask all the questions you can think of because being caught unaware of certain things made a great day slightly less enjoyable.

The Owner/Manager (Roy) was over-the-top paranoid and always lurking around, looking for a "GOTCHA" moment. The most obnoxious one was when our adult daughters (breastfeeding mothers) were pumping in the car, and he was knocking on their window - thinking they were having a drink in there. He should be embarrassed, but I don't think he is capable. #2 was his "greeting" when the wedding party arrived on the bus -- more like his bitch out, threatening speech he gave them about finishing their drinks on the bus. He didn't even welcome them to the venue, he was only concerned about the "NO OUTSIDE ALCOHOL" rule. The list goes on and on. Between Roy (owner) and the crabby bartender, I am not sure which one was more rude or clueless about the hospitality business. Ever hear the phrase "the customer is always right"? I do NOT recommend that you use this venue if you want to feel welcome. We were just a paycheck.
