This is one of my favorites.

The atmosphere is fun and spunky with pick me up music, they have days its live, and the game on which my dad was very pleased about.

We ordered the potato skins for an appetizer which was incredible and I ordered the Bourbon Glazed Salmon which was amazing and hit the spot. Definitely a place I recommend

They do allow dogs in the back outside seating area and are usually busy. Additionally, they do have a handful of the video gaming machines if you like to gamble. Ortmanns is a place to hang out, relax and to just have fun. We go there quite often.

Scorched Earth is one of the main hangouts on weekends. A good amount of beers to choose from. There's a pretty big variety on tap. Coming here early in the afternoon, and it was already busy. It's a brewery that's also family friendly. That means it's okay to bring kids, which is getting increasingly common for breweries it seems. A lot of interesting sounding ones on the list. It's about $7 a pint. Pretty okay for locally owned and produced. Best of the ones we had was the Wunderpilz, a German style pilsner that was light. It's got no food in here except $5 tubs of Von Hanson's Pretzels. Has more when food trucks are here. There's usually one on site. Has a pretty hidden location off Algonquin Road on Berg. It's closed Mondays and Tuesdays. There's food trucks on weekends.

They have many beer options that people in our group enjoyed. They gave you samples to taste before ordering which is nice. On nice days they have many tables outdoors in their patio. Will go back to check those out for sure!

Well I saw it had food and we went a few weeks back. The place was empty, but that happens at times in WS I don't get it. It was a Fri night and a little late to eat with the kids (maybe 730) but DEAD on a Fri... Still we ordered anyway Our food looked good & fresh. I got this great sounding pineapple chicken wrap (can't remember the name) but unfortunately it was almost inedible--super spicy....i like some spice but this was like the spiciest Indian-food-level spice despite having no mention on the menu of any discernible spice. I was bummed because it was otherwise cooked well...but I couldn't eat it (had about 1/3 and left it -- mentioning to the very kind waitress that it was almost inedible-- which it was. My kids & wife seemed to have decent meals, but that item (if it wasn't just cooked wrong -- and I think that may have been the issue) shouldn't be on the menu unfortunately We might give it another try before writing this place off...I want to see the Square restaurants & shops do well...but right now I can't recommend

It's about $7 a pint. Best one we had was the Sandhill Lager. This is crisp and refreshing, with citrus and floral notes. Food is limited. There's bags of potato chips but they have food trucks come sometimes. Getting here is the most confusing part but the beers make it better.

Sew Hop'd is located in the building next to the tracks. Maybe there's not as many to choose from, but they make these with better care. There's some pretty unique ones, and at pretty good prices. A small brewery like this has fewer beers. It's the only bad thing that can be said about it. The part that makes up for this is that the beers are great though. It's about $7 a pint. Pretty comparable to other microbreweries like this. Had a few the last time here. Of the ones that we tried, the best was the Take The Stage. It's a session Indian pale ale. There was also a strawberry cheesecake one that I would have tried if it didn't have lactose. Here's another great local brewery to get some cold ones and chill. It's mostly known for the beers, but there's also entertainment such as live music. There's not really any food, but they have tubs of Von Hanson's pretzels, and there's food trucks on weekends.
