    El Luchador
    Nikki B.

    Popped in Thursday to check it out. Beertender Rachel was friendly. Being a warm day with an agenda I opted for a half pint of the refreshing El Luchador. It was a comfy sized tap room and it wasn't too loud. Small parking lot that they share w the other businesses but easy street parking. Thanks Swing Barrel

    A quick hop from downtown Fargo is this nice brewery. Relaxing atmosphere, nice music (not too loud), and friendly staff. We love IPA's and they had several to choose from. My husband got the Tree Shaker and I ended up getting the Sweet Melissa because I love a good peach beer. The place is dog friendly out on the patio, but no shade in the afternoon, and well behaved dogs are invited to come inside which is awesome! We travel with an eleven year old pug so it's nice to have the option of bringing him inside when it's hot out.

    If you're looking for a good solid variety of beer this is your place! I ordered a flight of 4 and had a lager, Oktoberfest, IPA, and Gose, and all were amazing!! They also have a large variety of hard seltzer's for those that don't like beer. The bar area is located above the brewery itself, which is fun! There also was an amazing bbq food truck out front and a blocked off area to play corn hole! Would highly recommend!

    I'm very impressed with the social-distancing setup here

    I imagine it'd be tough to open a new business amidst a pandemic but Swing Barrel seems to be handling it with grace. We visited for the first time tonight and I was impressed with the well-thought out plan for social distancing. Kudos to the team for their friendly service, solid craft beer, and spacious patio.

    Very solid brews. Quality time and passion shows through what these guys are doing. Stopped through on my way across to ND. Pleasantly surprised with great IPA's. Cool setting with the kettles out front. Should be a must stop on your list.

    I've been here many times over the recent years but I'm finally getting around to writing a review,…read moreafter thinking about how much I enjoyed my last visit here. Junkyard added this West Fargo taproom (originally brewery is in Moorhead) when they renovated a former bank building - which they did a great transformation. This location has tons of both indoor and outdoor seating and has multiple levels of both. The large street level patio has more shade and the large rooftop patio has more sun. On this last visit, we sat on the rooftop patio, in a nice alcove area that probably seats about 10+ people between the wicker chairs and the high top. This would make a good hang out spot if you are coming with a group. The beers are always good, with a wide variety of options. For this visit, even though I was tempted to get the PB&J Sour (which actually tastes just like a PB&J), I ultimately had (two of) the Mango Orange Lime slushy drink. It was so good, and the staff commented as well on how it's a favorite of theirs. And speaking of staff, they are always very friendly and attentive, which serving you at the bar or stopping by your table to see if you need anything. Junkyard always has popcorn on hand, and while they have tasty pizzas as well, we just stuck with the popcorn and drinks on this visit. They actually had free Sandy's Donuts as well, and I don't know if that is a normal Sunday thing or something special - but we didn't take any anyhow. Lastly, it's a good spot if you have a big group as they have plenty of long tables.

Multiple floors, inside/outside space, and of course the same popcorn that you know and love from their other location. They even had space on the inside for a philly food truck to set up a table and be slinging out some grub for those that were drinking their beers. We got a set of five small pours, including two from other breweries that were in town due to Foolers Ball: Puff Tart XL - Raspberry, Lemon, Pineapple An Imperial Sour Ale with Raspberry, Lemon, Pineapple, and Marshmallow Flavoring from thebrewingprojekt Late Nite: Red Velvet Whoopie Pie A Pastry Sour from definitivebrewing that features hundreds of pounds of fresh raspberry, red velvet cake, vanilla cream, and brown sugar. Cheem Creese Cake A Raspberry Cheesecake Sour that tastes just like cheese cake covered in berries. New Zealand Cheat Codes An Imperial IPA hopped with Nelson Sauvin, Moutere, and Wai-iti. This is the definition of a great IPA featuring New Zealand "cheater hops" and it was so dank and tropical. Queen Size An Imperial Stout with Marshmallow and Peanut Butter. Not thick in body, but nice drinkable stout with a complementary adjunct profile with the base stout. ____

They're old-fashioned has an interesting twist and is made with an aged gin. It was good and strong and picture perfect. We also tried the lemon drop. There is nothing quite as refreshing and tasty as a freshly made lemon drop. No artificial anything here. What a wonderful example of the specialized Martini trend made famous through the 90s and early 2000s. We also sampled a Swedish and Danish delicacy known as aquavit. If you are a fan of licorice or ouzo, give this delightfully pungent and aromatic beverage a try. We sampled it straight up, they may have it as a mix in for a drink but I'm not sure. Overall this place is a great experience and really knows their stuff. It was a joy to visit here and I think about it frequently when I remember my trip to Fargo.
