The bar also has a large parking lot in the back so you don't need to worry about parking in the area. When I went, there were also two food trucks on site which was a fun addition.

Their beers are cheap, with a half pour for $3 or a full pour for $6. The bar tender was helpful in describing a few beers to me. They don't have food here, but Maggio's is right next door.

I went with her this week to check it out, and was very impressed by everything I saw and consumed. The space is enormous, with a main dining area (tables only, no booths) surrounded by small vignettes of couches and chairs. We had excellent service from Will and would recommend asking to be seated in his section. The happy hour special consists of your choice of one of four appetizers and a beverage for $10! I highly recommend the chicken wings, which give you the most bang for your buck. With such a congenial atmosphere, a terrific bargain on food and drink, and great service, I know I'll be back again and again

A whole meal and a white pepper strawberry margarita for $10. Our server Will was prompt! Next time I'm trying the hummus platter! And the drink I saw someone having on the way out, abound colada with orange juice and cranberry juice! Stayed for the line dancing, been a couple times and the dance instructor is just lovely always bringing good energy, breaking down steps in a way that clicks and making you feel seen individually in the group. Got to experience when the lighting goes soft for the evening, which is just beautiful in the space that has so many windows. Tip: Circle the block for parking, you definitely can still get lucky on a Tuesday night.

Good vibes, good beer offerings, and great company!…read more I came by after enjoying happy hour at a nearby restaurant and wanted to cap off the evening with some beer. When I walked in, I noticed that there was limited seating but there was some space at the bar. I genuinely appreciated that there was both printed menus as well as a handwritten one. There was a good variety of beers, seltzers and draft cocktails. I landed on enjoying an Oktoberfest beer and it was super drinkable. Although I was there alone, I appreciated that there weren't a ton of TVs. There's also a back patio that would be awesome for the warmer weather. The staff engaged with me as well as other customers and I was left feeling comfortable. Whenever I'm back in the area, I'm sure I'll find myself at one of the bar stools.

This place is definitely a really unique brewery given that its in a dive bar. You can see the beer tanks right from the bar/tables. They have small batch beers to choose from, and if you finish the batch, your name goes on the board on their wall! For the food, the burgers were great and the fries were even better! They're homemade and I would go back just for a basket of those fries. Their cheese curds were also delicious. We ordered a pickled egg because if that's listed on the menu we had to try one. We loved the staff. Very down to earth and fun to talk to. We even got complimentary key lime pie shots, which they make in house, and they were so good we ordered another round.

When I first pulled up to the building it was 7:30am, and they were open. But the windows somehow made it look dark inside, and I literally had to put my nose to the glass to see any activity. Otherwise I might have thought they were closed and kept going (special glass that cuts down glare inside?). Once inside there are several different areas for seating; the bar with stools, the front windows ledge with more stools, or the center area that has larger tables for various size groups. Lots of natural light from the front windows. The interior design, is a bit industrial, well lit, and welcoming. Things were neat and clean. Inside there was a short line to the counter which was right ahead. Took a few minutes to arrive at counter and order. Got a pleasant greeting and help with the order. I ordered the usual London Fog Tea Latte (little lavender,little vanilla, and extra foam). They didn't have much in the way of pastries/bakery. They were out of the Coffee Cake, but suggested the Apple Galette supplied by Miss Molly Bakery. They don't have the ability to warm up the bakery, which was a little disappointment. They took their time steeping the tea, which is a good thing. It came with a nice head of foam, had great flavor, and was the right temperature (148F). Texture-wise it could have been a little creamier. The Apple Galette was amazing. The crust was flakey and nicely sprinkled with course sugar. The apples had great flavor and were moist. The atmosphere was relaxed and most people were having quiet conversations. There's a very chill cat (Sugar) roaming around the place, and occasionally keeping people company. Not my favorite, but definitely a place that I would return to.
