Hosted a wedding reception upstairs in the mezzanine and had a fabulous time! Great event space , staff were wonderful, and love that the space is already decorated. Plus there were several taps upstairs so guests didn't have to go up and down unless they were in need of the restrooms or more beer options. :)

Great place to hangout, they got good variety of beers however there isn’t any food menu, but you can bring in your food or order from the food truck that’s adjacent to the place.

We stopped here right before sunset for a quick beer, but ended staying for 3. While the beers are alright, what I really appreciate about this business is there dedication to progressive ideas. There is no tipping on the checks because they pay their employees a livable wage ($22/hour) and the restrooms are mixed which means there are individual stalls with tall closed doors that allow for anyone to use the type of facility they want (urinal vs toilet). There is a communal hand washing station with warm (!) water and overall a very friendly space. Absolutely would return here for their inclusive atmosphere 😍

Came with friends on a Sunday afternoon, I didn't drink at all but I enjoyed the space and the atmosphere. There is a "small" outdoor patio but even the indoor area feels very open and spacious, with tables well separated from each other, a half block of floor-to-ceiling windows, and really high ceiling. At the same time, there is a communal vibe, simply a great spot for friends to hang out.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
