Visited this place for the first time as it's a short walk from my apt. The area is nice and is definitely worth exploring if you're not from the area. In terms of this place in particular I was not impressed. I imagine it's due to growing pains.
The bar setup is nice as you just order everything food/drinks there and then get the food from a window when they call your name and the drinks as they're poured at the bar. Took a bit to get a drink on a week night when it wasn't super crowded. The beer pours were by far some of the worst I've seen/tasted recently. The first round each drink was half foam!! Full price for each beer ($5). The taste of the IPA and white stout were less than great, to the point where I didn't want to finish the IPA.
As a side note the parking will be getting limited here soon as I heard the lot next to it will be going away. For now there is plenty of parking (90% is street parking, non-metered).
In terms of the 3 stars: 1 for the atmosphere and setup as it's a beautiful brewery, 1 for the patio/seat yourself availability/they actually had serve yourself water that was cold, and finally 1 for the stout, as much as I didn't like the other two I tried, the stout was a good pour and tasted really good.
I think the beer will get better with time and I assume the pizza is good for how expensive it is.
