Great service, perhaps the best we had of all the trip. The food are basic but they don't have a kitchen so the servers also prepare simple meals. The beers were very good. Sad they don't have the cans of all their beers on tap. Has small town bar vibes where everyone just knows each other. Will go by again if we're in the neighborhood

Great spot for a snack and some really good beers made right on the premises. Servers were great helped me pick some beers. Also this place is dog friendly so thats a plus for my wife and I as we were traveling to the maritimes with our dog.

Simple food that fits the bar theme. Service was spectacular! Beers were a bit on the quirky side, found the stout a tad rougher and wished it was smoother, but overall a great experience.

I went in for a late night drink and tried the Bagateme, a Belgian white beer, that was absolutely delicious! Definitely coming back and would recommend.

★★★★★

Really excellent beer here, with a few interesting and unusual flavour profiles - be sure to get a flight so you can try a few at once and compare brews. Very friendly staff. As others have mentioned, it’s not the place to go for a full dinner, but my charcuterie platter had a nice variety of local treats.

Great spot! Staying in the area and decided to check this place out. The staff was friendly with prompt service. Our server gave us a great description of the menu items and the drinks available. We had one of their beer and a gin + tonic. We enjoyed the nachos with local lamb, and a charcuterie style board. Both items boasted local flavours- nice to get to try these extras from the area. All delicious! We took some beer to go in the end, and the whole process was pretty slick.

Friendly staff and good beer. You can taste 4 beers (4 x 5oz) for 10$ which is nice. They don't serve full meal, instead they snack and light meal. I will come back again.

Very good selection of beers brewed on site with small portions of delicious food well laid out for a micro brewery. There is a selection of other drinks and some very nice verses, I took 2 home with me as a souvenir of the good times had. Also, the only occupied place in town on a Wednesday evening, that says it all. Parking: There are dedicated spaces for parking the car all along the main street to allow the best way to get around, on foot.

Last night, I had the pleasure of having a truly lovely evening, the food and beer was exceptional and the food deliciously healthy. The warm welcome and impeccable service from the two servers made my experience very pleasant. Each sip of beer was an explosion of flavors, and each bite of food was a delight for the taste buds, while still being healthy and balanced. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an exceptional experience in a welcoming and friendly atmosphere.

Arrived at 10:00pm on a Monday night after a long day. This is one of the few eateries open late that s not fast food. What a pleasant surprise to have real craft brew along with real food and nothing deep-fried. A cool casual atmosphere and bilingual staff make this a recommended spot to partake.

Lorsque jétais en visite à rdl, jai arrêté ici, jai demandé à la serveuse un 20 Oz de bière, plus précisément Le Fun Noir et un shot de tequila, ça me coûté 16 dollars et 25 sous, pas trop cher, il y avait de la bonne musique qui jouait ici et jainsi vu la salle de production de vos bières.
