The atmosphere of this place is 5 stars. This is an awesome spot just based on the space and attention to detail with the interior design. The first time I came here we met some folks for some drinks and I was skeptical as we walked farther and farther away from the buzz of the main NoDa area. Once I was inside, I was glad we had walked over. They had live music going and a great vibe overall.\n\nThe beer here isn't that great in my opinion. I tried 3 beers and the group I was with all agreed that they tasted tame and watered down. I tried 3 separate beers because the first 2 weren't good. I had the IPA, Strawberry Blonde, and I can't remember the last one...big surprise. They had to have at least 8 different beers on the menu. I would think if they scaled down to 4~ brews, they could focus on creating a better beer. The mixed drinks were very good however as they also have a full liquor bar. I tasted a few of them and would recommend these over the beer. It's kind of funny to me that their cocktails blow away their beer....and it's supposed to be a brewery!\n\nThe food we tried was overpriced and average at best. The cheese dip for the pretzels was served luke warm even after stirring it up and it lacked flavor. The spinach & artichoke dip was also served at the same temperature. Ugh! Portions were not worth $9 each.\n\nOverall, I think it's a cool spot. It just opened recently and I think it has a lot of potential. We'll see.
