| - We came here on a Friday evening to check out the new place. Upon arrival it was a little hard to find parking, but they had a lot of spaces. Once we made it to the hostess stand we were informed that all seating inside was taken but there were patio tables, and we were seated right away. The food menu is small, VERY limited, but they make their own sourdough pizza crust and we really enjoyed our pie. The beer selection was also pretty limited for craft beer snobs like myself, however, they did have Mission Carrack on draft and were serving them in PINTS!! Yes please (I'm not sure they know the ABV of that beer). The best part of our visit was wondering around the bar/restaurant; outside they have a really large cozy patio (one half is self serve, the other is sit down). Inside there are booths and a bar, and plenty of interesting knickknacks to look at that came from the old Minder Binders.
The original Minder Binders was a bit before my time, but I was always curious as to what the inside looked like every time I drove past the old red barn. Much of the infrastructure was maintained and preserved and it's like walking back in the past. The upstairs bar, which isn't in operation yet, looks like an awesome place for live music and libations; I hope they get that up and running soon.
Overall I definitely recommend coming here for the charm alone, and for some good pie and decent beer. It wont be a regular spot because the menu is too limited, but I will certainly be back.
