As for food, they usually have shareables such as pretzels, tacos, etc. While we were there we had tacos and soup. The chicken potato vegetable soup is made by a local chef who apparently wins the soup contest each year. It was obvious why when we took our first bite. The tacos were excellent! Having them and the soup turned into a nice combo for dinner. Service - the staff here is always so nice. They're very interested in you and will share Log Yards history with you. They do beer samples and flights. Hospitality is top notch in these small towns. Ambience - very cool old building with a lot of wood! The owner does some incredible wood working.

When we were acknowledged they wouldn't even look at us. It was quite strange. We ended up buying a 4 pack to take to camp and leaving. It wasn't busy so I'm not sure why it was so uninviting but it wasn't for us. We took our beers across the street to the park and listened to some polka before heading back to our camp. The beer was cold and made for a great drink as we set up camp and built a fire. I didn't get the full dining experience but with service like we experienced I didn't need to spend an hour in there to make my judgement.

The servers were well schooled, taking care and made sure we were satisfied. Great patio area with live music starting at 6:00. Cold weather would limit the overall seating capacity.

I am a home-brewer and I couldn't stump her, not that I was trying to. When touring Victory, the guide there didn't know much and I wound up giving most of the tour. Straub is very small in size and operations but all employees we met and observed were very courteous and friendly. The endless taps were a nice touch to experience by letting guests sample from 3 varieties of brew. You were able to have 2 full sized cups, not a 4 ounce taster. In the bar/restaurant there were multiple choices of brews on tap or canned/bottled and a vast selection of mementos for the collectors. We didn't eat there as we had packed a picnic lunch for later, but the food we were smelling was very enticing. We want to return for one of the weekend parties they have in their courtyard. Take the time and visit, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Let me preface this by saying I've about had it with the so-called breweries popping up everywhere,…read moreeach one seemingly more committed to clichés than the last. You know the drill: no table service, order at the bar using a kiosk or an iPad, which makes you feel less like a customer and more like a data entry clerk. And don't even get me started on the servers who act like they're doing you a favor by taking your order. Then there are the long lines to order your drinks and food, which completely destroy any semblance of a pleasant customer experience. Waiting in a queue that resembles a theme park line just to get a drink ruins the whole vibe (this is an ABSOLUTE dealbreaker for us). Oh, and let's not forget the chaotic atmosphere--kids running amok, dogs, and live bands cranking out tunes that make it impossible to hold a conversation. It's a sensory overload that just isn't my cup of tea. Now that I've gotten that off my chest, let's get to the beer. We ordered a flight, which is the trendy way to say "sampler," and I must admit, one or two out of the six beers were decent--particularly the hazy IPA, which was a bright spot in an otherwise dull lineup. Most of the other brews were solid but forgettable, a far cry from the unique, crafted experiences that breweries claim to provide. Overall, we did enjoy the beer! As for the food, it was a parade of disappointment. We tried the garlic and Parmesan wings, shrimp tacos, and, of course, the infamous Bent burger. Ah, the Bent burger--a prime example of how a simple, delicious hamburger can be completely ruined by a slew of unnecessary toppings. Instead of sticking to the classic approach of a juicy patty, they decided to throw on pork, a fried egg, and a medley of other ingredients that clashed rather than complemented each other. It was a chaotic mishmash of flavors that worked against itself, leaving me wondering why anyone thought this was a good idea. Gimmicks like that are rarely a recipe for success in my experience. The tacos and wings? Equally lackluster. The wings were bland, devoid of any real flavor punch despite the garlic and Parmesan claims, and the tacos were so underwhelming they could have been served at a school cafeteria. In summary, Bent Run Brewery is just another cog in the wheel of craft beer clichés, serving up a loud atmosphere, long lines, and gimmicky food that fails to impress. If you're looking for a genuine experience with great beer and simple, tasty food, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. If you are able to "plug in" to this nonsense, then it's worth a try.

I literally convinced her to go an hour out of hour way just to spend an evening here. My big three for breweries are dog friendly outdoor seating, availability of good food, and high quality beers. LIW is easily three for three. Gorgeous outdoor seating situated right on a hiking trail is incredibly inviting if you're a dog lover. Excellent beer selection with multiple styles affords most people with the potential to find something you'd like. The two times we've visited they've had a food truck set up. We were hoping to catch a live band under their pavilion, but our timing was off. Still, their website does show a full calendar of events with different bands playing regularly. The staff is friendly and attentive. Both times we've been there the brewer was also working the bar so our questions on the beer selection were thoroughly answered. Gonna try to talk mama into making another trip up to see them again in the fall. My rating scale: 1 - Just don't 2 - You'll survive, but there are better choices close by 3 - Good choice if you're in the area 4 - I'd drive 30 minutes out of my way just to come here 5 - I'd try to convince my wife to drive an hour just to come here

Awesome indoor outdoor hybrid with the open garage doors. The outdoor space has real chairs & tables and not picnic tables now, I wasn't a fan of the old tables they didn't seem very sturdy. There's also a fire pit in the upper part of the patio. Would be an awesome place to see some live music and get your brew on! Beer is all very good as well. I got a flight today of the razz lager, summer splash, IPA, and octoberfest. I liked them all but summer splash was by far my favorite, very fruity and fresh. Surprisingly, as someone who loves raspberry, the razz lager was my least favorite, still drinkable and good though just not my first option. Food was ok. I had the pulled pork melt with the coleslaw and my dad had the beef melt with mac n cheese. The melt didn't have any sauce on it, it comes on the side, so it was pretty dry. My dad remarked the same thing about his melt. The chips it comes with are clearly out of a bag but I actually really liked them. The coleslaw was bare bones - I mean probably the dryest coleslaw I've ever had. I'm not even sure if it was supposed to be a vinegar or mayo based slaw, it was literally completely dry. I ended up putting some of the bbq sauce on it. We both got a side of beer cheese which was a showstopper, especially with the chips.

Their indoor space plus outdoor covered patio areas are very comfortable and fun spaces to hang out with friends. I thought it was so nice to hear that they work with local community groups to host events like book clubs in their space. Whether you are here to see Phil or just to grab a Laska's pizza, be sure to stop here and hang out with their super friendly crew! If they aren't open, you can buy their canned beers at many of the local 6 pack shops/pizza shops.
