After searching Yelp on the way in, it was on my list too. They did not disappoint. They are just along the social district on market street. We were not in for socializing but it was fun to watch through the giant windows. We ordered a cheese tray, two sours and two pizzas. The bartender was super friendly and helpful though you have to speak up. Order at the bar and take a pager. The food came out fast. The kids being there after 9pm was off-putting but they left at some point. We ordered another two beers called Raw Dog IPA pineapple. Delicious cashed out at $65. Which is reasonable for all we ordered and the quality. Large space, with tons of options. Good for groups or a date night. I even found a large old NatGeo Atlas to paw through while we waited. Super fun spot to chill after a long day on the road.

Please do not patronize Creek Bottom Brewing…read more It is not a safe place for women or children. Creek Bottom is at the center of a local controversy involving a young man named William Ayers. In 2023, Ayers was convicted of child rape (carnal knowledge of a child) and abduction. He was released from prison last year, back into our community. Upon his release, Creek Bottom Brewing began employing him to work in the brewery--as a known convicted child sex offender. In February, while working for Creek Bottom, Ayers was arrested AGAIN for ANOTHER sexual assault, strangulation, brandishing a firearm, and abduction by force. It got a little media attention as the "Valentine's Day Rape." Recently added to his list of charges is possession of child porn and sexual abuse of an animal. Where does Creek Bottom come in, beyond offering a job to a known child sex offender? William Ayers' parents are the owners of Creek Bottom. They made the choice to employ him at their brewery, along with their many young women employees and the families who visit the restaurant. Our dollars spent at the brewery unwittingly went directly towards Ayers' paycheck. Many community members feel that Creek Bottom's owners have made horrendous decisions that endanger our community by choosing to have their son employed at the brewery, and by supporting/enabling him in other ways. It is readily apparent that Ayers' parents employ pricey high-powered out-of-town attorneys to defend their son from his charges. (Courtroom interactions between those attorneys and the father of William Ayers reinforce this, with the attorneys pulling Daddy Ayers aside for extended conferencing before making motions.) A couple of days ago, Ayers was offered bail set at $900,000. That means that if his supporters/enablers come up with a $90k bail bond agent fee, or $900k on their own, Ayers will AGAIN be released into our community. All of this is a matter of public record: past convictions, state sex offender registry that showed Ayers working at Creek Bottom until his latest arrest, ownership of Creek Bottom, recent charges, and ongoing court case with private legal defense. All members of our community can and should make their own INFORMED choices here. Sending your money in Creek Bottom's direction could literally help lead to this individual being released into our community once again. Endanger the wealth that is supporting him, and we may be able to make a real difference for community safety. Please don't unwittingly contribute to a William Ayers legal defense fund or to bailing him out to walk among us again. If you see fit, stand by us in this effort.

The menu is stacked with several certified bangers, so I'll have to come back for that patty melt. The giant pretzel is a must. I was slightly disappointed by having no mustard, instead it was swapped with a sweet cinnamon dip and given alongside a cheese dip. Separately of course. I'd say it was an acceptable twist... Still, it's massive, served warm, and it's the perfect app to kick things off with a beer. Their Carolina Blonde reminds me of Natty's Wildflower, which I'm not a huge fan of. I should've passed on that and stuck with their Pilsner which was actually good. The half order of fish and chips is filling, especially while snacking on something else. It's crispy without being greasy, and the fish was fresh and flaky. I would order it again for sure, the pretzel too. Skip their Carolina Blonde though, it's just not it.

My husband started with an IPA which is his favorite but when he saw the limited-time release stout, he decided to switch. It was their last batch of Big Winston Chocolate Stout aged for six months in freshly dumped bourbon barrels from their next-door neighbors at Broad Branch Distillery. I'm not usually a beer drinker but this stout was quite nice. They also added cocoa nibs and I could definitely taste the chocolate.

However, the beer taste is noticeably off. I'm not sure what's affecting the flavor, but it does make me wonder whether the tap lines are being cleaned as regularly as they should be. We've tried them all, the hoppy IPAs, the lighter styles, some ciders and even the dark porters and the issue seems consistent across the board. Five friends who've joined us on different visits have said the same. At this point, I usually just order a margarita instead. Each beer or cider runs about $7, but the space itself is impressive: a large indoor area with plenty of picnic tables, additional seating outside, a dart wall, cornhole, and another beanbag toss game. Sometimes people will dance to the band but the seating is awkwardly close to wear the bands play. There is a restaurant beside Joymongers that will bring your food order to you, menus are placed at the brewery tables and when the bay doors are open, you can catch a truly beautiful sunset.
