Food was great. Only 1 employee needed as you get your own beer. Beer was great. We had two young kids. Employee was very friendly and accepting.

This was a great find. It's different. I could sample a number of different kinds of beer in small quanities. I'm an IPA fan. They had several to choose from.

My wife and I went and hung out with some friends. Food was good, but a tad over priced for what you're getting. They have an amazing selection of beers, and even a couple of wines. They have a clever way to dispense the drinks using a wrist band, they charge you by the oz. It would be nice if …

First time here and the service, beer selection, and overall experience was exceptional! My server was very knowledgeable about beer, went above and beyond to explain questions, and the place was impeccably clean and vibrant. Great atmosphere and perfect for meeting friends. Great prices. Spunky vibe. The sparkly clean glassware was the best touch. Nothing like this in Brownsville. I …
