Vegans can order the homemade veggie 🍔. The bread comes from Kelly’s bakery & likely has butter in it. Order your burger w/lettuce wrap instead. Go for lunch when they have kimchi & BBQ condiment
Allison KaminskiDecember 6, 2018Great place to grab a drink and a bite to eat before a game or concert at the UC, they even have a shuttle there! It’s a four corners bar so the food is obvi good!- Juvy ElleJuly 1, 2018Delicious unique food and drink selection for all connoisseurs (beer, wine, & non-alcoholic). Great vibes & awesome ambiance- rustic. Our table had chalkboards above our heads for us to use.
- 🍷 4 oz of wine for $5 (from the tap) is not fantastic. It's best to roll through at happy hour where wine is $3
Kaustubh ThirumalaiDecember 23, 2016Lots of good beer on tap (locally brewed and curated) as well as some nice food options. Vegetarian friendly!
Katie SkillmanJune 21, 2014Really good food if you get the right thing...avoid the veggie flatbread , the pork flatbread is much better ...and the ham and cheese is awesome
Hai LiJune 11, 2017Beautiful venue. The entire restaurant was converted from a warehouse. Super hip! Order the beer tastings and calamari.
ChelseaDecember 7, 2019Delicious short rib and sides. Good beer according to my partner. 10/10 would eat again
Karina NJanuary 1, 2016Yuck! Duck meat balls are soaked in a thick sweet sauce; calamari is heavily breaded and greasy; ham and cheese sandwich is also very meh. However the atmosphere is beautiful and cozy- Derek TuckerOctober 7, 2020Food is amazing, beer selection is subpar. Would like to have more selection from local places.
Ashley BrunoMarch 30, 2014Happy hour is great, but get there early. Try the brussel sprouts and flatbread.
Mark SchoellJuly 23, 2016Met some friends for an impromptu get together great beer and atmosphere. Wish they stayed open later
AlisonJanuary 22, 2014Really good food, but be prepared to wait.... For everything. Service is slow.

"Great selection of beers, always changing. If you don’t see something you fancy, tell your server what you do like and they can make great recommendations from their can/bottle list."

"Grab a drink, chill out, and listen to some music in the ambient red glow"

"Try the Fresh Spring Rolls - Very fresh, avocado and tempeh add a lot to the flavor/texture combination, and almond sauce is yummy."

"Get the beer flight and sample all the goodness. If you're here during the colder months, get their ginger beer - it will not disappoint. The IPA is solid as well."
Sabina B. - 7.5
"Awesome coleslaw- good ginger flavor to it. A bit pricey but the value is delivered in the food, it is all excellent."
Travis Windleharth - 8.8
"Get the mascarpone-kumquat ice cream and pair it with rich, dark chocolate sorbet. Elevate your order with a homemade waffle cone:"
