I stopped by here last night with my wife for dinner. We actually had a little trouble locating the restaurant and then once we did had some parking issues as all 4 spots for the brewpub were full. Thankfully there was a public garage a short walk away that was free on Sunday and so we parked there. We ended up entering the brewpub shortly after 5 PM to find it mostly empty. This combined with the rather rustic look scared us a little bit. Upon reading the menu we learned that it used to be a knitting mill and a lot of the building and decorations were left over from that. So that at least partially explained the cold and the plastic bag like ceiling. The actual setup of the restaurant was also a bit weird with a giant bar with 4 flat screen TVs in the middle and a number of separate dining rooms surrounding it.
Even though my wife and I were still a little leery at this point we decide to start off the meal with the pulled pork poutine for an appetizer while I went with the chicken souvlaki for my entree and my wife went with the buffalo chicken wrap. Beyond that I also ordered their house made unfiltered dark beer which was the real reason we were here. It tasted much like a brown ale and I thoroughly enjoyed the pint along with another one later. Our poutine came out first and was surprisingly good. It consisted of potato wedges with cheese, pulled pork and gravy. The gravy was very good and had a nice flavor to it while the potato wedges were very crispy. Last but not least the pulled pork was also very good and had some barbecue sauce that gave it a nice tang. After we quickly polished that off our entrees came out. My entree consisted of a half plate of Greek salad, grilled chicken, rice and some tzatziki sauce. The chicken was flavorful and had a grilled taste while the Greek salad was refreshing. My wife thought that her wrap was good and I noticed that the potato wedges that came with it had the same great crispiness that really helped to make the poutine so good.
The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. At first the lack of customers and appearance had my wife and I scared but we left having enjoyed both the beer and food.
