Preferred Traveler

Family friendly atmosphere and a long list of beers from local breweries in the tri-state area. One area of improvement: Need to have beer flights . Other than that good food and good beer .

Amy Drake

Second all the recs for Bavarian pretzel . They have a separate kids menu if you ask. The beer selection is unbelievable and they will fill growlers .

Denver Snyder

$2 burger is a little misleading. Any topping you want is extra plus fries is extra so it soon turns into and $8 burger . So if you want a burger , no toppings and no fries it's a good deal .

Mike Ferguson

Best selection of draughts in Harrisonburg and equally great food! Smokehouse burger and smokehouse chicken sandwich are my favorites.

Devin Duncan

Callys was so mush better! Great beer , wonderful staff , good food! Harrisonburg classic! Food at ale house is horrid, service is weak, beer is mediocre! We will never return!

So many beers to choose from. And try the fried calamari appetizer . Good stuff.

Steve Jaeger

The Bavarian pretzel did live up to the hype! A little pricey , but a good vacation dinner .
