What better time for a first visit than during their 1st Anniversary party!
All in all, it was a party. They had free beer/food tastings (pairings & you voted for your fave) and handed a gift bag (shirt, keychain, shot glass, coupon, etc) to all attendees! This was totally unexpected and a very nice thing to do.
They also had an $11, three course meal 1st anniversary special so we had to experience that. It took about 30 minutes to obtain a table in the crowded dining room. I don't even know how long dinner took, it seemed like 2 hours. They were short staffed (??) and our server seemed to be covering almost the entire dining room. I tasted all their brews and the stout and vanilla porter were very good. The rest were decent too. The lounge with gaming is separated from the dining room. The location is a little odd, near the Vons but kind of isolated (Porchlight Grille is next door).
