    a flight of beers
    Ti W.

    Great vibe for a weekend afternoon sitting outside in the sun and trying different beers with a flight.

    Assgold
    Alex V.

    I recommend the ASSGOLD beer. Just wonderful. For the record I'm 41 and sent this pic to three friends. We all hit a great laugh. Terrific brewery. Way better then the other one in town I won't mention. The other brewery hate baby's... they don't have high chairs cause kids and baby's aren't in their demographic. Can't make that up. They told me this with a straight face. True north is the greatest thing that's happened to Ipswich ....not counting me moving to town.

    Sours flight
    Jenna K.

    An awesome spot not too far from the north shore beaches! Loved this flight of sours and the place is spacious with outdoor seating options.

    Another excellent visit. Great service and atmosphere. But most importantly- pumpkin beer!!! Delicious!!

    We were in the area and saw the brewery on Yelp. Thought that we would stop in and try the beer. First off the space is outstanding. Big, bright (even on a rainy day) and impeccably clean. The beer was just as wonderful. Couldn't find one I didn't like. One of my favorites was the Vincianne, a Belgian Golden Ale. But as I said couldn't find one we didn't like. We liked them so much we got some 4packs to go. Will definitely stop in again when we are in the area.

    There last night beer was very good. Food truck sucked!! They should add free popcorn machine. We would have stayed longer had few more beers.

    Beautiful space full of natural light. They offer a flight of four 4 oz tasters in this amazing compass tray and even take the time to label them so you know what you're drinking. Friendly staff and the beer was delicious!

    Great beer, great people. You can talk to the owners directly and they're happy to tell their story. A must go to in the north shore

    I went to try Choate Bridge Pub in Ipswich with a couple of friends last week. I hadn't been for a…read morefew years. It's just as great as it always was. The food was great, fresh, and hot. Even the coleslaw and tartar sauce were made with care. The servers hustle like crazy. They treat you like good friends. Some diners may have frowned on service. Those girls never stopped, and they smiled and laughed. (Who doesn't need that these days?) It's sea scallop season, so even those scallops are expensive I had to do it. The scallop dinner w/fries and onion strings was a bit over $35, but there were 14 huge, right off the boat succulent scallops. The burgers also looked great. Get on over there.

    **Classic local watering hole with solid food and atmosphere**…read more The Chote Pub is definitely a neighborhood spot through and through. You can tell the regulars get priority attention from the bartenders, but we eventually got taken care of too - just be prepared to be patient if it's busy and you're a new face. The food was good with very generous portions that definitely give you your money's worth. Drinks were well-made and hit the spot. We loved the setup for watching football - great views of the games from multiple angles around the bar. **Important heads-up: This is a CASH ONLY establishment.** Make sure you stop at an ATM before you arrive, or you'll be making a quick exit to find one. The vibe here is very much old-school local pub - if that's your scene, you'll love it. If you're looking for something more polished or trendy, this might not be your spot. We enjoyed the unpretentious atmosphere and will likely be back, but it's definitely worth knowing what you're walking into first. Bottom line: Come for honest pub fare, generous portions, cold drinks, and a genuine local experience. Just bring cash!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Our stools were below the hand carved wooden pig-The Farm's logo and I could see the cake of dust on its derrière! The light fixtures/fans above us were also in need of cleaning. Despite this, the food was good as well as the margarita. We started with the Buffalo tenders which were a tad over fried and I wish it came with celery and carrot sticks. The bleu cheese dressing it came with was very good with hearty chunks of bleu cheese. Then my husband had the steak tips with mashed potatoes and a medley of fresh vegetables (summer squash, zucchini, Bermuda onion). He thought he tasted the butane from the grill on the tips. I had the baked fish tacos and was happy there were three and each taco was filled. Overall, we had a nice evening at The Farm.
