Visited: June 15th at around 2:00 pm…read more It has been a while since my wife and I have visited here. This is a great tap house to park yourself in. The service is always personable and the ambiance has that small town industrial vibe. It is family friendly with seating inside and outside. The best part of this tap house is the availability of food options surrounding it. Parallel does not provide food on premise, but right next door is the best pizza place in the Willamette Valley in New York Squares. The convenience of it, is you order next door, they give you a remote buzzer and when your pizza is ready it buzzes and you go pick it up. If you are not up for pizza there is a handful of food carts around the building as well as other eateries up and down the street.

Kenny is very knowledgeable on his beers, and I actively see him thinking about how to make the old filling station a better place, operations, renovations, etc. Lindsay was making some excellent small food for the current coronavirus situation, and slinging those beers as well. I hope to see more good stuff from the place in the future! Go and visit! It's hella laid back, but that means no pressure. A very good addition to Independence.

Stopped here to grab a bite to eat. We weren't greeted by the first employee who saw us walk in. As…read morea good friend of a local grill and bar here in California that was already a red flag. We were finally greeted and seated by our waiter. He was the star of the place. Super attentive, polite, professional, and patient. The ambiance here is cool. There's indoor seating and outdoor seating. The decor was nice and the place felt clean. No complaints there. The issue was the food. We ordered the hot honey wings, the grilled chicken Cobb, the gilga-burger, the guacamole bacon burger, and the campus burger. None hit the mark. When you walk into a brewery that looks this great, you kind of expect more from the food. The wings didn't have flavor. The burgers had the taste of old grease. It left us all disappointed. Overall, the ambiance was great and our waiter was awesome, but the food left a lot to be desired.

Walked in expecting a normal dinner, immediately realized we had made a tactical error in the best way possible. The place was packed, loud, and had that kind of energy you can't really fake. Solid 10/10 on vibes if you're in the mood for it (and even if you're not, you adjust quickly). Despite being clearly short staffed, the service was impressively good. Not "everything is perfectly on time" good, but "everyone is working hard, communicating, and actually cares" good. They were very upfront and apologetic about the delays, which honestly went a long way. Food came out a bit slower than usual (again, not surprising given the circumstances), but overall I'd put it at a strong 8/10. Nothing overhyped, just well-executed and worth ordering again. I had the classic lager and it was meh. This is very subjective I realize but I'd rate it a 4 or 5/10. All things considered, it could have easily been a frustrating experience walking in on one of the busiest nights of the year, but it wasn't. Credit to the staff for keeping things running and keeping the tone positive. I'd come back, ideally on a slightly less festive evening, but also kind of glad I saw it at full capacity.

Food varies upon the featured food trucks. While there, friends enjoyed sharing a supreme pizza. Amidst the multiple drink options, there were only two canned non-alcoholic brews to choose from. Unfortunate as the climate of sobriety continues to gain popularity. The featured musician was outstanding, but I think the lack of acoustic sound proofing, mood lighting, and loud talkers distracted from his performance. There should be some sort of separation of those there to enjoy the music and others there to visit out of respect for the performer. Additionally, the poster misspelled his name and had no address (I ended up at another location). Small but notable gaffes.

I ordered the vegan pizza and salad, and both were seriously good -- fresh, flavorful, and actually satisfying. As a vegan, sometimes ordering out feels like negotiating with a menu, but Beachcrest delivered real options that didn't feel like an afterthought. The service was also super fast and genuinely friendly. Everyone was welcoming, the food came out quickly, and the whole place had an easygoing, good-energy vibe. The restaurant itself was really clean too, which always makes a difference. Honestly, if a place can make me excited about both salad and pizza while also getting me fed quickly and kindly, I'm probably becoming a regular.

They had Area 51, which was my game, so I was pretty bummed when they eventually removed it. I was also a little sad when they switched from coins to game cards. There's just something so nostalgic about putting a quarter into an arcade machine especially for us '90s kids! That said, we still go to Coin Jam pretty frequently and always have a great time. Everyone is friendly, the atmosphere has a really cool vibe, and I love that if you don't use all the money on your game card, you can save it and come back another time. Even without Area 51 and the quarters, it's still a fun place for a date night and definitely somewhere we'll keep coming back to!
