    The Pony Room was the perfect spot to celebrate friendship and gratitude. As two happily married couples, we honored the husbands’ 45+ years of friendship with incredible food, creative cocktails, and live music that set the perfect mood. The service was impeccable, and the ambiance made the evening unforgettable. Highly recommend for any special occasion!

    Tour- 5 stars, fantastic! The tour was amazing- educational and fun with some great beer samples. Can't beat the ambiance in the restaurant, but service was pretty slow, but who's in a hurry when you're enjoying great beer?! Whoever created the Stone Fireside Magic brown ale deserves a big fat raise and an award for the best ale I've ever tasted in my life. Wow wow wow!!!

    Made a reservation because had 2 small children with me was told I would need to wait 15 minutes - would have been waiting longer if I hadn’t gone back to the desk and reminded her that we were still waiting after 20 minutes - she seemed to have several lists she was going off of and my name had gotten lost in the shuffle. She had a tablet she was looking at so not sure why she had so many paper lists also.

    Excellent service and appropriate noise level on a Week night . Nice “sports bar” atmosphere. The fried food, while nicely presented, was quite greasy. The breading, while thick, was overdone. Each entree had about 3X the amount of French fries needed.
