They sat right next to my table and instantly one of their dogs took a gnarly dump. These were not little dogs. A member of their party went and got napkins and picked it up leaving so much shit residue behind that it left a horrible stench. I asked for management in hopes they could have them clean it up better-only to get laughed at. It was so disgusting and the smell was so bad I left and told my friends to meet me somewhere else. How are you supposed to eat around that? How is it fair that your subject to that? Dogs don't belong where people go out to pay to eat. Their animals and not everybody enjoys eating around animals and their shit.

Always a nice treat for a visiting foreigner who thinks Americans don't like soccer. Only thing is they are pretty stingy about tasting beer, like do you really think 8 people showed up to waste your time and not buy anything? Idk that's just me, I've been to loads of breweries where you can taste 2-3 beers especially if it's your first time visiting, and no one bats an eye. Here I like the Martillo and the Breakaway. Food is usually great, they do a rotation of local food trucks and catering companies most often tacos but I've seen pizza or ice cream. The doors are wide open, you're basically in a metal oven with limited insulation, though they clearly tried their best it's still the valley... the coolest spots are more central where they have Big Ass swamp coolers running. If you come with old people they won't be able to hear sitting right next to them. Everything is clean an orderly, looks well-managed. Caters to a crowd that already has kids probably ages 35-40, I think the owners can probably try some ideas to bring in young people in the sub-30 range and more groups of singles. Club offers adult and kid sports and that works well, there's a nice sense of community going and you can also watch games on any of the large TVs. Mix of games on usually soccer even the random foreign league you've never heard of (not just Premier or UEFA).

We went off our route a bit to get here for lunch as we all enjoy breweries and distilleries. We…read morearrive and were greeted and seated quickly by smiling folks behind the bar. They have a beautiful still and the distillery and brewery equipment are all on display alongside the restaurant and bar. Fairly typical small town bar & grill layout. On this day, we ordered at the bar. I'm not sure if that's always the case. We got a variety of entrees and all six of us liked our meals. Tri-tip steak sandwich, French Dip, tacos, fish and chips, and I got frog legs and deviled eggs from the apps menu. Everything was tasty. However, they only had 3 of their own beers on tap and no tastings available of their spirits. Said their brewer and distiller hadn't been in for quite awhile so production was behind. I wish them well as they work thru their absences and ailments. The two beers I tried, a porter and a schwarzbier, were ok. So, right now, it's a fine eatery, but a disappointing brewery & distillery.

I'm usually not so picky, but this server pushed all the wrong buttons. Looking over previous…read morereviews, I agree when Anonymous said, "The service is poor here. The owner needs to do better when it comes to service." My wife and I have been here six or seven times and have noticed the service has been steadily going downhill. This place was empty, and the server behind the bar was accommodating when there wasn't anything more pressing, like answering the phone. Our party of four ordered four entrees, two appetizers, and some beer and sodas. My beer flight and my wife's beer came out lukewarm. When the appetizers came out with the meal, the server told me that if I wanted the appetizers before the entrees, I should have told her when I placed the order. (She didn't bother to ask when I wanted them.) She doesn't seem to understand that an appetizer is a dish of food served before the main course of a meal to stimulate one's appetite. My sides of tater tots were so cold, I took them back to the counter to get reheated. I was very disappointed in my Tuesday lunch. Hopefully, you will have better luck than us.

I really wanted to love the meal at BrewBakers this past Friday, but unfortunately, the kitchen…read moremissed the mark on a classic. I ordered the French Dip, which should be a slam dunk for a pub-style spot, but it lacked the basic execution that makes that sandwich great. The Main Event: French Dip * The Bread: This was the biggest disappointment. It wasn't toasted, grilled, or even brushed with a little butter. It felt like an afterthought, leaving the texture of the sandwich completely uninspired. * The Meat: The tri-tip was sliced thin and seemed okay, though it had that "pre-cooked this morning" vibe rather than being fresh off the block. * The Au Jus: A French Dip lives and dies by the dip. Unfortunately, this was essentially bland beef broth--watery and lacking any deep, salty, or beefy complexity. The Silver Lining The meal wasn't a total wash, thanks to the sides. The fries arrived piping hot, crispy, and seasoned well. Paired with a side of their ranch, they were easily the best part of the plate. Final Verdict: If you're going for the atmosphere and a cold beer, it's a win. But if you're craving a high-quality sandwich, you might want to look elsewhere until they step up their bread game.

The staff and service are amazing friendly, & attentive. They don't serve food directly, but they always have food trucks, which honestly makes it even better. They're super active on Instagram and regularly post their food truck calendar, so you always know who's serving what and when. My absolute favorite food truck that comes through is Brahma never disappoints. The drink selection is top tier with a wide variety of beers from different distilleries, so there's something for everyone. My go-to drinks are the Michelada with the spicy cucumber mix (so good), The Lady Marmalade, and Dark Horse is also a solid choice. Tap Yard also has an outdoor patio, karaoke nights, and live bands, which makes it such a fun place whether you're going out with friends or just trying to unwind. The only downside for me is that it isn't strictly 21+. Since there's a playground in the back patio, some adults bring their kids, and personally, I'm there to relax and have fun--not listen to screaming children. If you're looking for great drinks, a fun crowd, awesome music, and consistently good vibes, Tap Yard is definitely worth checking out.

Drinks were always made strong and the servers were pleasant although the food always took forever to come out. The food always tasted frozen and oily. The health score should have deterred us and we were always met with sticky tables and glasses. *Three Rivers Mojito: could have used more mint but boy was the rum pour heavy. The lime taste was strong and I would have like more strawberry puree. *Pretty In Pink: fruity and sour with a strong alcoholic finish. I wanted more of a elderflower and hibiscus flavor but the prominent raspberry taste was still good. *Watermelon Vodka: slightly artificial but wow was the vodka heavy. Despite ordering this during happy hour, the pour was generous and the glass was massive. *Fried Pickles: the batter was incredibly thick and it wasn't cooked through. I literally had to peel off the doughy exterior to enjoy the classic pickle. This item needed more time in the fryer and the batter recipe should be revised. *Potstickers: the only decent food item. This was most likely frozen given the perfectly identical creases but it was steamed properly. The dipping sauce was flavorful and vinegary. *Fish and Chips: suffered from the same thick and flavorless batter. The fries were alright, salty and crispy. The cod was tough and rubbery. I mostly ate the fries with the tartar sauce and ranch and left the fish alone. Sequoia Brewing, your cheap drinks will be missed but pretty much nothing else.
