Sarah Falkenthal: Great cider selection! Wish they had more on tap. We really enjoyed all the Swedish choices.
Mike Mollica: Don't ask for the poutine, they don't serve it nor have they ever. Thanks for getting my hopes up Brady, you dick!
Brady: Ask for the poutine!

Kappie Farrington: The mango salad is delicious and spicy. The pad ginger sauce was 👌 If it's your birthday day, the staff will celebrate you with a boisterous song.
Yana Shept: My name is Yana, I live next door and I am addicted to Farmhouse' green curry. I had it 10 times already. It's been 5 days in a row. Help.
Danny Roa: Pricey but delicious dishes. Favorite was the Panang short rib.

Auburn Santo: Love this place for late night cocktails and snacks. Maybe another time, Skylark/Double Dutch.
Will Bertelsen: Awesome new cocktail and small plates space from the owner of Hideout and an all star team of bar folk. I am fucking thrilled this exists.
Ryan Landry: The burger is so greasy and therefore so perfect. The service is unbelievably good, but it's also only day 3 since opening. Really enjoyed my evening here.

Eugene Kim: Go for the back patio, great draft beer selection and decent pub food!
Kemp Mullaney: The sliders are great! 2 with a salad is a complete meal.
Jordan Van Druff: Great patio in the back! Staff is super super friendly and unpretenscious, wait how do you spell unpretensious? ...
WhiskeyAvenger: Great beer selection which makes for a great alternative to Zeitgeist if you want a more chill bar experience.
Bommy: Never that crowded or loud, it's a great spot to bring out-of-towners who like craft beer. No large plate vegetarian dishes but the hand cut kennebec fries are amazing. Super thick wedge fries!
Eater: The main attraction is the 36 rotating draft beers with an outdoor beer garden, but there's also a menu of bar food that veers toward the hearty side, like beef cheek poutine & fried pig tails. Read more.

John Steidle: The beers, as expected, are fantastic. New take on bar food - sandwiches and breads are excellent.
Jonathan Crawford: Almost like a beer cafe. A little on the fancy end. But great beer!
Sean P: The "Cool" is an IPA brewed at low temps which reduces the bitterness (especially compared to most IPAs). Only available here.
Jon Rice: Chimichurri fries, great beers, and a solid brunch.
Jason Bell: Great beer selection, porchetta sandwich is awesome
tina huang: love that they always have an (overpriced) selection from Almanac Brewing. great list of beers on top that rotates pretty regularly. always been met with good service here!
