Huge and incredible beer list . Be prepared for it always to be crowded in the bar area.

Nate Folkert

duck burger made with ground duck , wild rice , mushrooms , and breadcrumbs , topped with goat cheese and crumbled bacon , served with cherry aioli . served here with chicken wild rice soup .

Tim Vernaillen

The amazing amount of beers on tap is wonderful. This in combination with quality food makes it even greater. Try the pretzel , any of the steaks and have the gingerbread as dessert . Will be back soon.

Craig Durgy

A happening beer bar with a neighborhood feel and a touch of class ! Right down the block from the Muddy Pig ,,,,don't pass up the "two birds with one stone" visit!

Great beer selection . Grab a table near the bar , get a charcuterie plate and a cheese , and be incredibly happy. Look at the description of the last porter on the beer menu !

Jerry S

Popular neighborhood beer pub ("gastropub "). Great selection of draught beers , pub grub. The game burger and Angus cheeseburger are standard favorites.

Lindsey Lynch

HG is the 1st and [currently] only venue in the TC to host the hoppy genius of the Green Flash Hop Head Red out if San Francisco; a must try!

eryn o

Gluten free bread and buns ! Staff is knowledgeable about GF and is often really nice about substitutions ("That comes with barley risotto . Want some mashed potatoes instead?").

Erik Laing

Well thought out menu and a beer and whiskey menu that is unrivaled. Make a reservation if you can because weekends are exceptionally busy.

Nate Folkert

bacon wrapped turkey meatloaf sandwich with white american cheese and spicy aioli , served with french fries

Chris Wozniak

Fantastic beer selection with occasional events that will knock your socks off. The food is incredible, too - order the ramen !

Christina Thompson

Bloodies are delish. This is the regular but they also have a Sunday bloody bar that is BOMB

Blake Thelen

Best place to get a Bloody Mary during brunch on the weekends. The do-it-yourself bar is top notch. Get the bacon infused bloody mix!

Jake Ferguson

Lobster Mac N Cheese was amazing, got it as an appetizer along with the poutine , which is also great.

Rachel Sheppard

Amazing whiskey selection with a "rare and weird" section of the menu for limited releases like Highland Park 17.

Chris R

The bison and wild game burger are the bomb. A pretty fantastic beer and scotch list as well .

Nate Folkert

blackened salmon sandwith with horseradish havarti , cabbage slaw , and spicy dill sauce . salmon was very salty.

Arielle Lenox

House on capital hill converted to a restaurant . Love the patio - it takes sitting in your backyard to a whole new level!

Jamie Baxter

Great craft brew selection . Classy menu choices. Perfect venue for the hipster 'esque beer snob.

Dan Hatfield

Love that they provide individual descriptions for each of their beers .

Jeremy Dowd

Bar seating is very limited but worth the struggle for a great draught beer selection . Lunch specials are affordable but the dinner menu will set you back $25+ per person plus drinks.

Stephen Koontz

Their pumpkin ale is the best I've ever had. In fact, their selection is pretty impressive overall.

Brittany Jobes

Extensive beer list , delicious mussels , and a cute patio !

Chris Furbacher

Get the Fried Vegetable Juicy Lucy . It's amazing. Can't go wrong with a Sweetgrass APA. Delicious pairing.

Melissa Coombs

Just had the sausage stuffed quail ! Outstanding and I recommend it for people who love flavor.

Alex May

Lives up to the gastropub name. Delicious and creative fare, but for a high price!

Eric Meininger

If you like the style of Dark Horse's Scotty Karate beer which they carry in season, try the New Holland (MI) brewery 's Dragon's Milk beer which is more consistently on tap . Awesome!

Jeremy Beker

Excellent beer selection . Food is pretty good. Great place to come in from the cold.

Lane Pelovsky

I really enjoyed the Poutine and Chicken Sandwich . Amazing beer selections !

Awesome beer selection divided up into easy-to-understand categories. Food is delish too!

Clown Shoes Space Cake : a delicious double IPA from Massachusetts that'll make you happy.

Bartender Steve treats us like royalty. What a guy! Also the great divide yeti imperial stout is particularly good if you like dark beer !

The brunch menu is fabulous. I love the croque madame

The "Hopswich" dessert with Hop ice cream is worth it! Amazing hop ice cream !
