“I don’t go there often but every time I’ve been here it has been a great experience. My brother and I came here last for the Christmas Pairing Dinner where they pair a beer with a course of the meal. They were five courses – all of them were delicious. It is a prepaid event or walk-in. Everyone appeared to thoroughly enjoy themselves.” – Mike B.

“I had a great experience here. The beer was good, the food was excellent and the staff was very happy with what they do. That is always a plus. The salsa for the tacos was amazing. I would like it to be a little hotter but it is probably perfect for most.” – Wes W.
