The owner/chef came out and introduced himself-so warm and kind. He is very active in the community which just makes it even better. Yall this place is a gem!!! Don't pass it by.

The atmosphere is very casual but I can see this place getting very loud. The waitress was attentive but not hovering. The owner came for a chat a couple times and was a real gent.

This was better than my wife's order of tri tip, which was much more like roast beef. We are both of the mind that sometimes mistakes can be opportunities so we just accepted it without complaint. It wasn't bad, but it was. Just ok. So overall, the experience was simply just that. Ok.... $50 of ok. I just don't make enough to have $50 ok experiences.

For…read morecontext, I had come here once before, and left somewhat unimpressed with the experience that I had. However, I decided to give Craft and Draft another shot, and I'm definitely glad that I did. Unbeknownst to me, they were holding "trivia night" on the night that I went, which drew a pretty large and lively crowd. While I think that the inside volume was turned up a little too high, it did serve to loosen everybody up, as I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with the other patrons, who were all very kind and sociable. I also got to check out the back patio for the first time, which was fun, but not quite as notable as some of the other taproom patios that I've been to. In addition, despite the fact that they had heaters on the patio, they didn't seem to be emanating much heat, as it remained pretty cold outside. What I did like was the fact that there was a pizza truck outside, which was making wood-fired pizzas on the spot, and which looked great! (I didn't have one myself, but everybody I asked told me that they tasted great as well.) As for the beers... they were pretty solid! On draft, I got one of the Burial IPAs, which was 8% ACV, and tasted pretty good as well! My friend said that the beer that they got out of the refrigerator was good as well, and that they had a lot of beers that they had never seen or heard of before. As for me, I noticed that they had one canned beer that was 9.5% ACV, which I had never seen before either! The two (2) bartenders working that night were really cool, knew their beers, and definitely made me and my friend feel welcomed. All-in-all, Craft and Draft was a pretty fun taproom, which *might* be a little better in the warmer months versus the cooler ones. Despite this, I'd still recommend stopping by to grab some unique brews, and enjoy the lively but not overly hectic atmosphere.

They have a great space with plenty of seating, both indoors and out. They have TVs throughout the brewery so watching a game there is probably pretty easy. I started with the onion rings and then went with the double smash burger and I have to say it was solid. They also have a great selection of beers which included several guest taps. My only piece of constructive criticism is that when I got my 3 growlers filled at the end of my visit (because they have good beer and I wanted to drink more later), my growlers were neither sealed nor labeled. For those that don't know, breweries usually label the growlers with beer your ordered and seal it so it doesn't leak. I've only ever run into this once before, it was in Amarillo, TX. I didn't make a fuss about it but it didn't come off as the most professional or polished in that respect. I'd really like to see them reexamine this part of their operation and possibly consider branded labels for the growlers (so that you know what you're drinking) and branded caps (their dog logo would fit perfectly and be a good way to rep the brand). Overall, I had a great visit. But I'll inquire before getting my growlers filled again.

This was my first time experiencing this venue, and I honestly was pleasantly surprised. From being greeted at the door and shown to our table, ordering our food to even having our waitresses snap a few photo's to document our visit, I was very impressed with the staff's attentiveness and willing to offer suggestions, and see our food was prepared promptly, and to our tastes. We chose to visit during lunch, so I ordered the Philly Cheese steak sandwich which came with fries, and it was very tasty. My friend ordered the fish & chips, which he said was also very delicious, his wife ordered shrimp with hushpuppy's, and I tried one, that cinnamon butter sauce pairs very with with the hush puppy's. The atmosphere for a lunch crowd was very chill, some soft music playing in the background, but not overpowering to limit conversation, the staff was friendly, and the food was tasty, with decent portions, and more importantly - Reasonably Priced. I can't wait to return again soon, and bring some friends along to share a new spot to enjoy some terrific food at Liberty On The Lake.

It only allowed me to order through a food delivery service. I live 200 ft away so I was just gonna walk there and pick it up. If there was a way for me to order online without a delivery service, then it wasn't clear to me on the website. The food was okay at best. I got the fish n chips. It was good...not great...just good. Fish was fried well and the fries were tasty. The person at the desk who took my order and the girl standing beside her acted as if seeing me was the last thing they wanted to do that day. I placed the order, asked where to wait for the food, and one girl said "you can't stand right there, wait outside, sit at the bar...I don't care where you wait" in a very snide and rude tone. The person who brought the food to me asked my name, handed me the food, and walked away. I said thank you but she was just gone. I left saying "have a good day" and the host at the register just stared at me. From what I could see of the inside, it looked nice. Probably won't be back to see more of the restaurant. For a place of high esteem as Liberty Tap Room, it definitely failed me on the service portion. Major turn off for me.
