Very pretty micro brewery and distillery with a nice atmosphere to meet friends and have a bite. The service is amazing and we loved to sit at the bar and chat with the chefs and bartenders. The cocktails are really really amazing! The beer is a little to wild for my taste. I like the food, small portions, but high quality. Thanks to the staff who recommended us lots of cocktail bars etc :)

"text": "I found this a pleasant little place, fairly busy but nothing too tough to deal with.\n\nI was a little underwhelmed at the beer selection for a brewpub. The beer they did have was pretty good, if a little unmemorable but I had my hopes up for a wider selection, not realizing that the menu felt like it emphasized cocktails more. Not a bad thing, but not quite what I'd expected either.\n\nWe didn't order food, but it certainly looked and smelled good!\n\nNice spot if you're in the neighbourhood.",
