THE Original Craft Beer Alehouse
We’re the area’s first authentic craft beer restaurant, serving innovative (and slightly off-centered) ales and scratch-made fare for more than 15 years. But we didn’t get to be an enduring hometown favorite without knowing who we are and who we serve.
Our guests prefer a warm, welcoming gathering spot over chains and copycats (and their copycats). They value fresh and delicious food, crafted with care and served by attentive and friendly folks. And, they appreciate real craft beer, such as our prized flagship brews, intriguing reissues and new seasonal offerings.
So, whether you’re already a fan – or a soon-to-be fan – join us for the truly original craft beer experience.

Brisket Mac and cheese was very good. Everyone was happy with their food. Service was very good on a crowded night.

Service was phenomenal here. Super fast and attentive wait staff. The food was pretty good, but the ambience could use some work. We would have liked to sit outside, but we were told there’s no lights on the patio. I recommend the Cajun egg rolls.

It's an alehouse. They make good burgers to order. With every imaginable topping. A vegetarian can find food, but its focus is meaty, but modern. We were a large party (15) for lunch. Service was great. Separate checks, even. Food wasgood. Hamburgers can be big and messy.

Food is great, service is amazing and everything is clean and neat. The only issue I have is almost all of their tables are placed directly under ceiling lights and I get a headache from the light every time. But other than that this place is one of my favorite places for a... Read more
