    Atmosphere is amazing! Quick and friendly service. Waiters are knowledgable about beer selections and suggest great alternatives to standard brands. Would definitely go back and suggest to friends.

    Here Gose Nothin' is a Gose-style beer that pours a deep golden-orange color, with a yeasty, spicy aroma. On the palate there's a punch of tartness from the fermentation, as well as a hint of funk. Read more

    This was our second visit and we will return. Our favorites include the Bavarian pretzels, nachos, fish and chips and Dan especially liked the pot roast. Service was great today. Highly recommend

    The Counter ClockWeisse is another home run for Destihl's Wild Sour series. It's hard to find a beer that's this refreshing; the perfect companion for summer grilling. Read more

    Great beer selection, solid food options too. I always go for the Stuffed Poblano Peppers or Huevos Ranchero Stack. Service is slow when restaurant is busy.

    Love the food! Especially the espresso rubbed ribeye. Beer is just ok. Service during the week is fantastic. Weekends are packed expect slower service and you need to make a reservation.

    Great beer and great food. Try the Beer battered asparagus. Also they rotate the beers so there is always something new on tap!

    Try the espresso chipotle rubbed ribeye! Cooked exactly how your order, looks dark, but was cooked to medium perfection.

    Beer is just okay but menu is creative and fun. Try the Pumpkin Bread Pudding with homemade pecan ice cream for dessert. It's awesome.

    The Barley Wine Beer and Salmon and Potatoes go nicely together. Something about the ground mustard sauce.

    The Espresso Cream Stout is so not good this month. Tastes water downed, but try the Bourbon Barrel Reserve tasted way better and was 13% as well. Very tasty. . .

    Food is good, service is not. Getting late in the evening or not doesn't mean ignore multiple tables go eff off and sit and talk with other co-workers. You want wash dishes when you close.

    Bringing good beer to the area, although a suggestion would be to stay away from the fruited ones.
