    Atmosphere here is unmatched! They have such an amazing patio over looking the river and WVU's campus. Diner burger was good, but not good enough for them to call themselves "The burger place". I wish there were some more fun, innovative burgers on the menu. None of the sandwiches come with a side, and you also can't buy a side after you purchase your meal which I found to be strange. The menu on the Instagram did not match the menu in the restaurant which was also bit disappointing. Next time, I would skip the food and just come for a drink. Service was fine, not bad but nothing to rave about.

    Views are unbeatable. Beers are innovative and tasty - I especially liked the sours! Perfect for a beer (or two) and a laid back, chill vibe.

    A small but good offering of beer styles all done right. They are a quality over quantity venue. The food is limited again but it is all excellent. The service is friendly and knowledgeable. The ambience is nice up to date and relaxed with a riverside setting. Outside seating along the river is great in good weather. In bad weather stay inside and still enjoy the view.

    A couple of issues. First, the beer. Just not good. There are not a lot of options in Morgantown, so by comparison, it's fine. But in actual practice, the beer is bland. This is our second time here and both times same result. Very limited selection too. Some beers are on the menu twice,with just slight variations. Meh. Second, the people. Not friendly. The sever was not interested at all. The other patrons were standoffish too. My wife and I aren't hipsters. Felt let like we needed to apologize for coming in. Definitely don't recommend.

    Beers with a distinctive point of view that are memorable. Friendly, helpful staff. And, the patty melt and waffle fries were super tasty. Couple all that with a great view of the river and WVU campus, and these folks have really got something going on.

    Beer is excellent. I purchased a couple of four packs to have at home. Even from the can the beer is excellent.

    For a place that specializes in burgers mine was flat, dry, flavorless and overcooked.
