Spacious brewery taproom with a big beer lineup and Emmy Squared pizza; great for groups and dogs, but prices, service fees, plastic cups, and occasional brusque service divide opinions.
Restaurant Summary
The taproom feels spacious and lively, with big patios, dogs underfoot, and TVs humming on game nights. One guest summed it up: "Huge space with easy vibes and lots of beer options." However, there are some review authenticity concerns about LAX cross-talk and a few templated tones, though most feedback seems organic. The cooking here leans classic brewpub pairing via Emmy Squared—think crispy-edged Detroit-style pizza and solid burgers alongside a broad list of house beers. Fans call out Head in the Clouds IPA and fun one-offs, while skeptics find the pours pricey for the style and dislike plastic cups. Ordering is split: beer at the bar, food through the partner—efficient for some, clunky for others. Families do show up, especially by day, and portions from the pizza side suit sharing. Note a reported under-21 cutoff after 8pm, so early visits are best for kids. Picky eaters can land on plain pies or simple sides, while adventurous drinkers can sample flights to find a favorite.
