At first, I was having a difficult time hearing the music, so when a spot closer to the stage opened up, I moved. I later ordered a beer flight, and the bartender was great describing the different beers and checking in with me as I tasted each one. I enjoyed the musician despite the large crowd and the challenge of hearing him over the many conversations. Eventually, the crowd thinned out, and I was able to better enjoy the music. Overall, it's a nice brewery.

It's roomy and expansive with plenty of seating and a few yard games. It's popular, too, and will fill up quickly at peak times. There's plenty of drinking options. The menu boasts a number of styles, plus a few ciders, non-alcoholic choices and even a couple of cocktails. The best beer is your favorite beer and you should be able to find something that hits the spot. Food is available, however the kitchen backs up when it gets busy. Please keep that in mind if you're coming hungry. Entertainment ranging from trivia contests to comedy to cover bands will perform on a small stage inside at times. An events schedule is posted on the brewery's website if you want to see who's playing.

She was very passive aggressive in letting us know how much our beers would have been had we paid for them, and complained incessantly about the Pub Pass program.

I love the theme nights. Music bingo on Thursdays is my favorite. I haven't attended yet, but the Sporting Kansas City, KC Current and Formula One watch parties look fun. A variety of beers are available on tap. They usually include a few year-round options and a couple of seasonal options. Canned beer - some that isn't available on tap - is available to go. Food isn't cooked on site, however food trucks are parked outside during busier events. You might check with the brewery if you want to bring snacks.

Definitely the kind of service that makes you want to come back. Patio is great too--heat lamps when it's cold, big garage doors when it's nice. Nachos Pretty solid. Chips are thick, crispy, and taste homemade. The chipotle sauce sneaks up on you--it's chill at first but then hits with some real heat, so maybe get it on the side unless you're into that. Chicken was good too--grilled nice and not dry. Lucent Galaxies Super easy IPA. Light, smooth, not too bitter. At 4.8%, it's an easy one to keep drinking without it feeling heavy. Tales of Banshee Smoked Irish red, 5.6%. Kinda different--in a good way. Drinks almost like a pale ale but with a little smoky thing going on.

Fruited wheats are my favorite type of beers and it seems like they are a dying breed. The service was prompt and friendly, there are two bars that you can order from. I love that the water was self serve and it was ice cold. A group of us took up the outside deck which was very nice, though a little chilly from the breeze. Inside there is a large projector to watch sports games, and another smaller room where they were having a bingo event. It's a great place with a variety of areas to sit and hang out.

The beer was excellent, and the food itself was amazing, but the entirely phone-based ordering system was a headache. We had connectivity issues, so the menu wouldn't fully load, leaving us guessing without descriptions or pictures. The star of the show though is the Fish n Chips. This is now THE BEST I've had in KC. I can't wait to come back and have more of these beers and more fish n chips! The atmosphere is amazing! Only downside is that it is an outdoor venue... so watch your weather.

I was here for a few hours to meet up with some KC Yelpers and during that time, I enjoyed a couple of beers, a few bites and a wonderful welcoming staff. I was trying to stay on my keto diet so I enjoyed a delicious bowl of their curry cauliflower. Plenty of it and quite tasty. Followed by two pickled eggs. Not deviled eggs, these were quite firm and tasty, topped with a sriracha drizzle that really brought out the egg flavor. With them, two tasty lighter beers. Not much more than that as I still had to drive tonight, though I consumed this over three hours. There is street parking in the area, both free if you can find it and paid if you can not. Lots of great food options, lots of great beer options. Fabulous location! [Review 701 of 2026 - 529 in Missouri - 25882 overall]

Parking isn't a hassle, they always have plenty of spots. The inside is good sized. I've never been there when there's been a lot of people so I've always had plenty of room. The taproom is always clean and the service friendly. They don't have food but there are several food options nearby. Next door is a whiskey and pizza place that I've seen people get food from and bring to the taproom. They also have a good sized patio out from with picnic benches. The development that they are located in has yard games like bags and mini golf so there's plenty of space to run and play if you're bringing any children along. They have a good selection of beers and usually here's a style for everyone's tastes. During my most recent visit I tried the Gusto milk stout, a cherry limeade Berliner Weiss, and a Barrel Aged Baltic Porter. All were great and true to their style. You can also take home cans. My dad enjoys their beers so I'll often stop in and get some to go before I visit. And they still do growler fills which is pretty rare. Definitely check them out!

The gentleman who initially greeted us was friendly, welcoming, and working to find us a table. While he was doing that, an older blonde woman came to the hostess stand, asked if we were with the baseball team already seated, and when we said no, immediately told us it would be a 20-30 minute wait for food because there were only two people working. It felt less like setting expectations and more like she was trying to discourage us from staying. When the host returned to seat us, we mentioned we were reconsidering because of how we had been treated. The woman then came back and told him the kitchen couldn't handle our party of six. Given the mixed messages and unwelcoming attitude, we decided to leave. The host was great, but the interaction with the other employee ensured we won't be back.
