    Just a fantastic list of local beers and craft beers and they do tasting flights, so worth popping in to try the local stuff. Nice surfer/sports vibe too

    Excellent beer selection. On draft and in the bottle. At least 100 beers available at all times. All varieties. Something for everybody. I had the ale house pizza. It was good but greasy.

    The beer is always excellent. The food is very good. The customers are interesting and the staff friendly. My fav is getting through 80 days in 80 beers backwards.

    If you are lucky enough to land Max as your bartender, ask him for recommendations ... he hasn’t steered me wrong yet! Cheers!

    Come in on Mondays for bartender flight nights! The bartender picks 4 different bottles that u can get a flight of tasters for. Great way to try their amazingly delicious bottle selection.

    The garlic burger was delicious and contained a nuclear amount of garlic. Order with caution, depending upon your plans and/or company for the evening. Then, there are the beers... :) :) :).

    Great Belgian beer but totally packed. It was impossible to find a seat or get the bartenders attention. Had one beer standing by the wall and left.

    Guys: If you can hit the target in the men's bathroom consistently. Ask a bartender for your free beer. At least try.

    The space is limited, but the taste, however, isn't. Their bold tasting burgers, sweet potato fries, and epic beer selection will do a serious number on your taste buds.

    Yard House, doesn't stand a chance to the diverse beer selection. Come early and thirsty; and be prepared to fight for a seat.

    Talk to Katie, she's the beer boss, keeper of the barley knowledge and rock climbing. It is important to note she has perfect handwriting when it comes to chalk...
