Waterfront seating and brewery things are awesome!!! Flights of beer are only $10, great way to taste different beers they make; got meatloaf and was sliced oddly, but cooked perfectly and delicious!

The chowder is maybe the best ever. No lie. (They offer Sriracha and Tapatío on request... Good to know) also a pretty nice beer sampler.

Their cocktail list is short but you can ask the server if they can concoct something else for you. They'd be glad to accommodate your request, like what they did to me. 😊

They serve 10 homebrewed beers, hard to find in Napa, but average at best. Nevertheless, good vibe and excellent beer battered fish and chips.

Great bison burger, the polenta is a unique BBQ and very good. The food was surprisingly well above expectations.

Amazing garlic fries. A Vegan veggie polenta dish. Great bartenders.

If u want to watch the game..,better get seating downstairs. There's a nice big flat screen upstairs and #1 is playing #2 but the owner won't turn on the game.

Get the Triple IPA. It's not on the menu. It's delicious. Be warned, though: it's 13-14% alcohol by volume.

Their Coors Light in a bottle is amazing!

Nice to sit outside by the river and have a beer or vino.

Food not bad but nothin special. Fish-n-chips ok, fries could do without, wouldn't order spin dip again. GREAT service on patio by Mr Clark Kent and server/busers. Would benefit from an outdoor band.

It was a lot of fun live band on Friday nights .

Had the Cioppino and the seafood was rancid, scared the heck out of me. So bad that I just leaned forward and let it fall our of my mouth. I can't imagine what their walk-in frig looks like!!

Try the beer battered Fish-n-Chips along with one of their many delicious micro brews!

Great craft beers and live music!
Jennifer PattersonApril 25, 2010
The bartenders are egotistical. They have big heads for no apparent reason. They will even charge u 5 dollars for 1 beer and take the extra dollar for a tip. Tipping is an option ladies and gents. The

This is the place to watch games. But don't count on their food. Takes forever to get a beer...
Red StraubSeptember 22, 2013
Fish & Chips is small portions and don't try the tarter sauce. It's soupy.
Molly KoserNovember 27, 2011

Great service, but there is a reason Napa is not known for their beer.

Seems like a cool environment, BUT the wait and host staff offered very poor service, we waited 10 minutes w/o getting our drinks. Also, an undesirable crowd at times w/tatted up ppl looking 4 trouble
