    As you would expect, they have a great beer list. Don't be afraid to try the local brews. What we didn't expect was the selection and quality of their sandwiches. You can't go wrong with any of these choices. I do hope at some point that they will add more pinballs to their arcade. It would be so appreciated.

    I got the catch of the day, wahoo, which was served with rice and broccoli, and it was great. The boyfriend got ribs and a flight of beer. They only have preset flights and he wasn't overly impressed with the beer or the ribs. The brewery was huge, though, with an arcade inside and a marina outside. They tried to sit us near the windows which was right by the open door outside (this was August). It was hot, so we had to ask to move which made us feel bad since it meant a new waiter. She handled it well but I didn't like being put in that situation but also didn't want to sweat eating my food inside an A/C place. I'd appreciate being asked before being seated because I feel that is pretty common in places like this.

    Service was friendly but the overall cleanliness here left me saying, no thanks. We were going to order food but when I saw how dirty the outside of one of their coolers was - I didn't want to risk getting food. If your customers can see visible dirt - who knows what your kitchen looks like. I started w the Crazy Lady and didn't love it. We decided to get beer to walk around with and half way through I discovered something in my beer. *You know their tap lines are dirty but how much foam pours out when they try to pull the tabs.* BARTENDER WAS BATTLING WITH YHE TABS TO GET A DECENT POUR. Disappointed w this place.

    Cool spot to grab a meal or some locally brewed beers. The inside had a view of the beer tanks and brewery area, as well as an arcade and a gift shop. Our server did a great job (he was in training). Its located right along the waterfront and Marina so there is a nice view as well. Our meals were very good and came out fast and hot.

    As a fan of beer and breweries, we were surprised to see that there was a new (for us) brewery right across the street from our hotel when we were in town a couple of weeks ago! Of course, we had to check it out! Overall, it was good! The place is enormous! Long bar with plenty of seats, lots of tables, 2 stories! There is an arcade room and also shuffleboard in the back (which we played!). The bartender was friendly and greeted us right away. The only thing that I thought was strange, was they only offered 2 types of flights - already pre-picked. Typically, you can pick any beer you want to try... which is what I wanted to do. But either way, I was able to try some of their staple beers and they were good! They did have a food menu but we only stopped in for a few beers to try them out.

    After a flight cancellation and having to rebook through another airline we had an extra day to fill and decided to stop here for lunch! We shared their nachos and omg it was exactly what we needed. These were so delicious, the pork was so tender and I loved the beer cheese on the side. It came out super quick too! After we ate, we played some of the arcade games they had. It was a perfect start to our day! I will be dreaming of these nachos until the next time we are in town!

    An awesome place with arcade games! Our server was attentive and really nice! (Forgot his name) it's a nice large location with plenty of seating and tvs. The food was delicious!

    Mary and I stopped in for a snack while visiting in the area. We were greeted by friendly staff and seated. Our tasty beverages came right out. We nibbled on the bruschetta and seared scallops; both were delicious. We topped it off with a piece of key lime pie, exceptionally good.

    Great convenient spot for bus tours and cruise visitors. Quite a big inside with booth, table and bar seating. Outside has a good view of the water but we were inside where it felt a bit worn. Game tables you can tell had been played hard over the years. We had the fish dip appetizer and fried shrimp. I thought the shrimp were really good but fish dip was just ok. I got the flagship beer flight and none of them were very good. Much likelier to find better beer in Islamorada. Still a cool local brewery and convenient to where we were.

    Cool place We came here for happy hour to get a beer. They have a full arcade for the kids and two different rooms and also a pool table. Right on the waterfront with beautiful views. Lots of inside seating Kids menu. Gift shop. We didn't get any food but it all looked so good! We will be back . Friendly staff. Happy hour beer was $4!

    We sat at the bar and ordered a flight of beer while we waited for a shuttle. Seems like there were some parking garages around. They had a preset flight for beer, the Flagship flight that came with: Island Life Crazy Lady Kited Cowboy Lazy Way Everyone was friendly and we didn't try any of the food but it looked delicious. In my opinion, the beer wasn't my favorite, they seemed a little flat and lacking in flavor. The island life had a weird after taste. Seems like a cool place to hangout with a nice view and there's some arcade games. We might come back to try the food one day.

    My husband had a burger. I had a kale salad. He loved his burger. My kale salad was pretty good. The service was beyond excellent. She was super cute, her husband is in the Coast Guard! Go US! Love that! Even the hostess was amazing. He messed with my husband about being a Buckeye fan.

    We stopped in for some cold water and AC Shari Bush Parsons ordered a Chilled Black Bean Dip w Crispy Chips ...I tried it and it was very good! The atmosphere was nice! The staff a little short but the island was packed today because of a cruise ship at Port. I definitely would go back again to this nice large Brewery! No traditional beer only IPAs of what they brewed so Tony would not have enjoyed! They also had a large Adult Arcade attached!

    Are they dog friendly?

    There is an outside seating area at the brewery, but i don't remember seeing any signage that states dogs aren't welcome... I don't believe their actual website says otherwise as well. I would assume service animals are ok.

Our waiter was very knowledgeable and helpful when choosing things on the menu. Food was consistently good and we tried a lot of things. There was lots of seating both indoors and outdoors and live music too! Highly recommend visit!

Maybe I just didn't order the right thing, but my partner didn't enjoy his food too much either. Not worth coming twice to unfortunately in my opinion. Our waitress is what really blew it, overall very bad attitude. Seemed almost judge-mental. Didn't take away our used plates, which ending up making the small table super crowded, didn't check up on us, and over-all was mute the entire time serving us. Would come and in a blink she was gone again before we could ask anything. I understand waitresses can get caught up when taking care of multiple people, but there truly wasn't many people there. The Ambiance was nice, tables and overall space did look clean. We had an early dinner so there wasn't too much of a crowd. Bar had nice music. The aesthetic of the place is charming. Overall I'd give it 3 stars. If you're hungry and need a fill-me-up this is a good spot. Otherwise, if you can, I'd suggest you go elsewhere.
