I sent a message to them & they confirmed my suspicions. Carl (the owner) reached out to me & explained what happened & offered me a replacement bottle plus a wonderful charcuterie board with free samples. I have never been to their winery and boy I was glad that I went, a really nice & welcoming space. A must try is the 999 Broadway Dyngus Reserve, a great Easter time wine. The wine is also sold at the Broadway Market during holidays. I will definitely be going back for more!

I love mead so I was looking forward to trying this place but ended up disappointed. They have a…read morelarge selection of different flavors of mead - but I didn't see any that were straight-up regular plain mead. Mead is delicious by itself without anything being added. I got the Horchata one (since that is also something I enjoy). The first sip was good, but the more I drank of it, the more it just tasted fake and flavored, and I did not finish it. Based on that one I wouldn't want to try others. The food menu is very limited. The pizza crust is very thin - more like a crackery flavor - and the pepperoni is only in a circle on the outside? So it's basically a cheese pizza until you get to the crust unless you want to reorganize the toppings yourself. Atmosphere varies - many times I have stopped by and it was standing-room only and very loud, and I left without making it up to the bar. This time I came early enough that I was able to get a seat. It feels very dark after coming in from outside. Staff is friendly. Decor is fun and bee-themed. Restrooms are easily accessible and all-gender. Overall it is a fun place to hang out but the food and drinks didn't do it for me.

There was a couple of odd states thrown our way when we first arrived. Not sure they expected us to show up when the demographics was older, white, and clearly in love with the cover band which was playing the Beatles. The bartenders however, were phenomenal. They seemed to be enjoying themselves which always makes the experience better. The inside has seating for I imagine 100. There are picnic benches all over plus some of them have small table games to play. There are a few benches outside in the front and then when you get to the back there are more plus other games and an overall nice area to chill in. Parking is abundant and there are so many side streets where you'll always find a spot.

Everyone who works here is friendly, accommodating, and a lover of good beer. They brew their own and, according to everyone I know who's been here, it's almost always delicious. They don't serve food apart from chips, so it's not a gastro pub by any means. However, if it's good drink, good entertainment, and good company you're looking for, you've come to not only the right place, but the best place. They get so many good bands and comedians here! The last time I went, I saw my favorite stand up comic. The atmosphere is cheerful but not rowdy. So if you're the type of person who loves to meet new, fun people who love and consume beer, come to Flying Bison. Not only will you have a great time, you'll also have a good brew to settle down with. Also, they allow dogs. What's not to love?

Now, I'm pretty lame and I don't buy that much wine/liquor these days -- so I'm by no means a "regular" -- but whenever I go in, the employees always offer to help (unless of course they're busy at that moment, then I wait if I need to ask anything). On a recent trip to replenish my bourbon supply (for 'tis eggnog season and that's the only way to drink it), one of the owners said he had 2 open bottles in the back. He went to fetch samples of each. Stellar service! He also let me know about the upcoming bourbon and whiskey raffle and tasting the next weekend. Btw, I went and it was a wonderful event (though pacing yourself is essential). I also have the employees recommend wines based on my tastes or whoever I'm buying for, and price range. I've never been steered wrong. It is not until I check out that anyone even knows whether I'm a loyalty member - I am, having signed up for a card to get reward points to redeem for discounts (takes 2 seconds). The checkout employees are always friendly and helpful also. During the holidays, they offer free gift wrapping for your purchases - which I LOVE since I tend to give booze a lot and I hate having to wrap things. Perfect gift, btw, because who doesn't love booze?! As to being unable to buy certain merchandise - I have not encountered this, but have no problem with a business rewarding its loyal customers with reserving certain rare products. The point of the aforesaid bourbon raffle is to let people buy rare bottles at cost - other places just mark them up until they're unaffordable. Here, they spread the love. Bottom line: They care about their customers. They stock a wide variety of quality products to fit various budgets. They know their stuff. I've always had a great experience and will keep going back. Cheers!
