The ambiance is quiet amazing, right out of the 70's, with one of the best interior in town!! the staff is outstanding, polite, and chill! there is easy street parking and a overflow parking lot. They don't serve food but you can bring any in or have some delivered. The jukebox is full of great music. The regulars are super chill and its just an all around amazing little brewery that is serving some beer that deserves respect and admiration!

Next they had a cool compact disc jukebox that you could interact with for free. Also, the merch was top-notch so of course I had to purchase a T-shirt. Then they had a quaint patio which is where some people were enjoying the nice weather while sipping on their drinks. Finally the beers were unique and flavorful. I can't wait to go back when they release a new beer.

The restaurant was pretty empty so we were surprised it was taking so long. On the plus side, their menu is varied; they have many vegan options which was appreciated for our party. They also have non alcoholic beverage options. If we hadn't had somewhere around the corner to be at 2:45pm (we were about 20 min late), and if we weren't already having a late lunch to begin with, it wouldn't have been a huge issue.

I have been at this venue a few times. My last two were for events! I got to see the other side of…read morewhat Guggman Haus offers. We got there early and were able to have some drinks and food, including the nachos. Man, I was not expecting BBQ sauce and like a mustardy sauce and cheese and it was flavor exploding, loved it. With the event we had catered pork/chicken as well as sides. Everything was great, the peppercorn dressing for the salad was so amazing, I would definitely think of a salad here in the future. The venue inside the space, with the car, is quaint with seating and you get to see everything happening outside the space as well. This last time, we were in the original Guggman Haus brewing building that houses the coffee. This is adorable! We had service the entire time, including a bartender and the beer. They made everything super easy and I would consider this space for a baby shower, bridal shower, etc. We had 25 people and it fit wonderfully. There is also outside space for overflow, so it makes it very reasonable. Now onto the beer! I had the IPA Riverside, very hazy with a great flavor. Then I went off the rocker and ordered some prickly pear drink, I was not expecting how good that was! Refreshing and light, easy to drink (probably too easy) and the flavor was perfect! Try it if you are there, it is a newer option. PROS: Parking easy, street and lot Many open spaces and areas to rent Games are included, so eat, drink and enjoy company They have trivia nights, woohoo CONS: Sometimes the food is not always a hit, nothing to state specifically today, but I recall in the past saying to myself, don't order that again. So, try everything and find what you like. The place is great and the beer/food options are good, so you will find something you like.

But I was focus to go to brewery and it was little hesitant because I wasn't sure where the entrance was. But I was able to find it. The taproom was biggest. I went up to the bar counter. They have good choices. The bartender was so nice. She explained to me well after I told her that it was my first time here. I had flight of beers and they were all so good! I enjoyed it a lot. Schwarbier was my favorite! They do have food but you have to go to different windows. It was easy to do. I had Dip Trio which was really good. I want to stick with something healthy. But it was good. I love the Spinach dip. This is great experience. If I am back in town, I would go this again and also will definitely recommend to my friends and family to go here.

Service was prompt and our waitress was amazing at reading the room and was very witty. Asked for my drink order before rest of party showed. Gave us enough water for all anticipated guests. Gave us plenty of time to chat and catch up before coming back. Provided beer samples if we were debating between some. Very honest about menu. Fairly "empty" in dining area. About 6 tables occupied. Given, this is an old church setup so plenty of dining space. Bar was basically full. We got the cauliflower appetizer- buffalo style. It was amazing and came with a blue cheese dressing (not chunky at all. It was great!). I got the Caesar wrap with fries as my main. It didn't disappoint!

Big Lug Canteen delivers a memorable meal from start to finish -- friendly, unpretentious service,…read morea warm neighborhood vibe, and two standout dishes that I'll be ordering again. The Brussels sprouts are an absolute triumph: perfectly blistered with a caramelized exterior and tender interior, dressed in a harmonious balance of bright acidity and savory depth. Little crunchy bits and a subtle smoky char add texture, while a finishing sprinkle (and a hint of something sweet-salty) elevates them from simple side to a show-stealer. The Korean salmon is equally impressive. The fish arrives flaky and moist with a richly glazed crust that carries sweet, spicy, and umami notes in perfect proportion. Layers of flavor -- gochujang-forward heat, sesame brightness, and a touch of citrus -- play against the salmon's natural richness without overpowering it. It's plated thoughtfully, with complementary sides that keep each bite balanced. If you're at Big Lug Canteen, don't pass up those two dishes -- they demonstrate skilled technique, bold yet nuanced seasoning, and a real sense of care in the kitchen. Great food, relaxed atmosphere, solid value. Highly recommended.

I will cut some slack on the service, however - I arrives after what seems to have been a very atypical rush of Journey fans who inundated the place before heading to Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The staff seemed a bit rundown and slap happy - not really attentive to the bar where I sat. I waited a bit long before I was greeted with a menu, waited awhile with an empty glass, waited with my food pushed away before it was cleared. No one asked if everything was okay even though most of my food was untouched. The food... my salad (house greens) was a great little salad! I say this despite finding a hair on the plate when I was about 2/3 through. My mussels and fries were not great. The fries were mid - they tasted kind of overdone or as if the oil were old. The mussels were actively bad. The portion (an app) was pretty small. There was hardly any broth/wine and they weren't piping hot. Also, they were actually not tasty and the texture was rubbery. They remained in front of me, uncleared, even after I closed my tab. They did not smell good. I don't anticipate being sick but I do anticipate being hungry.

It was a Saturday evening, so they were fairly busy; however a table was ready for us within 15 minutes. I ordered the 2 meat combo plate - chicken and turkey with mac and cheese and green beans. Surprisingly I loved the turkey more than the chicken! They have 3 housemade sauces at each table, my favorite being the cola sauce. The Mac and cheese was tart and was my favorite side. My frozen strawberry daiquiri was super refreshing to enjoy on their patio. There was also a band playing during dinner that tied the patio atmosphere together. They are also a dog friendly restaurant- just make sure to keep them relatively close!
