I'm glad I finally made it here as I am a HUGE fan of Southern Tier's beer. I had heard from friends that the wait was typically pretty long so that discouraged me, but the lure of excellent beer overcame so off I went.
My friend and I did wait about a half hour and we were here (early) on a Saturday evening. The bar was totally packed and it did take a little time to get a beer. We then went and stood in the small area that is outside by the bar. I think you can actually get wait service there. I'll be curious as to when the outdoor seating will be started. They won't have any problem filling the space.
Inside once we were seated for dinner we were a little bothered by fruity flies who kept buzzing around. Since the garage door wall was open to the outside these pesky bugs made their way in. Not terrible but not great. For dinner, my friend and I shared two appetizers, the nachos - which were excellent, and also a quesadilla, also quite good. But two big thumbs up for the nachos. We also each had a beer sampler.
After tasting the Nu School IPA I am hooked. It's a good alternative to the 2X IPA because it is lighter with a lower ABV. I just bought a 12 pack last week.
Another nice surprise was the low cost and sweet Southern Tier t-shirts. For $15 I am the proud new owner of a pretty rad Southern Tier tie-dye. Can't wait to come back and look forward to when the expanded outdoor area is done.
