Reviews
This place is amazing. I've never been disappointed and I've been here a handful of times. The food is great! I usually go with the burger of the week or wings of the week when I make a visit. Always top notch quality food. Great variations on burger flavors and wing flavors. The beer is great as well. I typically order the Beezer series. One of the better hazy IPA's I've ever had. Service here is always great. Evenings can get busy so be prepared for a wait. Plenty of seating inside, and a large bar area. Street parking available. The place is very clean. I would highly recommend this place.
End coming here since opening. Still a fun vibe . And great beer selection . Food is good as well
I've come back so many times now and every time I come back, I want to visit more frequently than I do. The cocktails are great, the food is amazing, and the beer is great. I only say the beer isn't amazing out of spite because they don't brew my favorite beer of theirs anymore (Undergrowth), but they had a couple really cool winter beers - the spruce one especially was great. But the food is so consistently good, the menu is diverse yet somehow it all feels very Old Irving and it's all delicious, leaving you with some really difficult decisions as to what to eat. Only downside is they're always busy. Definitely expect to wait to get a table. The good news is that there's a fair amount of space to stand and drink while you wait. It's rapidly become one of our go-to options.
This has been on my husband and I must try location as we've gotten many recommendations from friends and coworkers throughout the past year. I am not a beer person but the cushy mango peach had a great flavor and I enjoyed it. The food was phenomenal. The chicken sandwich was juicy and the burger was flavorful. The food was filling and didn't feel heavy afterwards. This is a place we would come back too. It was a quiet Sunday night but all the wait staff were amazing. They were attentive to the needs of the guests and ensuring one was enjoying their food and drinks. 10/10!
Best brewpub in the city. Food - grilled octopus is one of my faves. Burgers and wings are all great too. They add a culinary twist to every dish. My wife had the tuna fish sando and they added some diced hard boiled eggs. Added a creamy texture. Really nice. Beer - seasonal rotations are all excellent. Love their various hazy's. Drinks - Like the food, they always have a nice selection of custom cocktails. Mezcal old fashioned was excellent. Ambiance - always packed. Prefer bar seating. Bartenders are very attentive.
