   We were welcomed in, walking through the store to the restaurant. Checked in for our reservation, seated and promptly greeted by our server. Our reservation was for breakfast on St. Patrick's weekend. The restaurant was still pretty empty but filled quickly. Breakfast menu was limited but excellent! They offered a full on breakfast that looked amazing but we both went with the breakfast sandwich and an order of Rueben rolls, everything was delicious. I ordered a very cold, nicely poured Guinness while my husband enjoyed an IPA. Second rounds were locally brewed options which we also enjoyed. Looking forward to our next visit! Good value, great location, delicious beer.

   Atmosphere was great! Food was good - had a guaranteed 2 hour table service today @ 1pm that we paid $180 for and we were sat at 1:20pm and told at 2:20pm that the bar was closed to reset for the next set of guests. Super disappointed and complete lack of customer service. Do not recommend. The waiter was even disappointed in the managements Level of service.

   This was our second year attending the St. Patrick’s Day event. Last year was awesome! I purchased tickets about 1 month ago for our group of 4. We attended the same time slot we did last year. Much less organized this year. We were there early and didn’t expect to be seated at our table reservation early- however; we didn’t expect to be seated 20 minutes late. We were able to order 1 round of drinks and appetizers before we were told it was last call. We paid $30 a person to have this reservation. Our server was so kind and apologetic. We witnessed him being scolded by the bartender to stop taking drink orders. Professionalism at its finest. It was super unfortunate & not worth the money. We didn’t get to fully enjoy our time & the experience. The “free giveaway” was a nice touch when we arrived. I don’t think we will be returning next year. What a terrible way to “clear out” the building to make room for the afternoon/ next tier of reservations. If that was the case, don’t sell tickets for 1pm! Of note, I am fully aware we had a 1.5 hour reservation which was already cut shorter than the earlier ones because of running into the afternoon tier. So before management notes that in a response here- I am aware. Overall, we are disappointed customers.

   Service was mediocre and the chick had no flavor but the atmosphere and ambience was amazing. Excellent beers as well. Just come here to drink, the kitchen needs a bit of work.

   We had Dylan as our sever and he made our first experience so wonderful! His walk through of the beer list was very helpful and knowledgeable and he made wonderful recommendations. Highly recommend the pickled seasonal veggies and short rib!
