You won’t find a million taps or a lot of expensive overseas beers , but you will find a dozen tasty, brewed-on-site offerings and plenty of comfortable places to sit and sip them. Read more

Citra SMASH is delightful! Cool atmosphere, too. Also, flights on cafeteria trays are fun. Can't comment about food, but the beer is good.

Shawn Channell

Parallel Pale Ale is a bit more hoppy than the Prime Time. The Scarlet Fire is definitely worth trying as well .

WhiskyAvenger

Get Big Wooly Barleywine if you can. It is a phenomenal ale .

Alison Baziak

Draft ciders are fantastic, good grub, best porter I have ever had in the PNW.

Nachos are huge and pretty tasty, just a tiny bit too salty.

You can only get most of their beer right here so try one you've never heard of before.

December 1 is Old Woolly day

So easy to move tables around. Especially on a weeknight. Come with 20 people, head to the back. Chances are, you can all sit together.
