“ Enjoyable space for drinking with friends and playing some board games. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. ”
“ Interesting rotating tap selection, and good location. The indoor area is pretty nice, they have various board games. Definitely enjoyed the atmosphere. Currently they have seating indoors and outdoors, during the summer the outdoor seating is best in the evening, they usuallyhave a food truck outside on the weekends whichis a plus. ”
“ Popped in here around 5pm on a Tuesday while exploring the upper Mohave Desert. There was 1 table with a couple at it when we walked in. When we left an hour later it was packed. They have great beer selections. The bartender was really nice and attentive. Try a flight with the 5 oz tasters cause there's too many good beers to try em all in one visit if you're drinking pints. There's a food truck outside Called Molinas Tacos. I can't find it on Google to give them their own review but the Mulitas with Asad were amazing and the guy at the window was great. I've included a pic of the Mulitas & the truck. ”
“ Certainly the most interesting beer selection in town! Try the flight for a great bang for your buck. Nice atmosphere, family friendly and they have games to play. Food trucks stop by regularly for some great grub options. ”
“ Always a great assortment of imported and local southern California brews on tap, there's almost always a sour for the funky people and a hard seltzer for the CrossFit crowd. There's such a friendly atmosphere and the staff are knowledgeable without being opinionated. The owners are great to hangout with when you see them and they aren't busy. A very inviting establishment with small town feel and welcoming to folks from near and far. If you're stopping in Ridgecrest from the PCT, it's a great place to relax for a pint or two in while you're in town. ”
“ Gotta love this place. As a guy who is allergic to hops I always look for something to drink while my friends sip on beer. This place has a great selection of non beer drinks in cans and always a seltzer or cider on tap. Great place for chilling out and playing board games. They have a great selection. Always looking forward to going. ”
“ An excellent "new" place in town. I absolutely will be back. The rotating beer selection is well curated and varied to ensure people of all tastes will find a winner. The atmosphere is very laid back. It's not quite a bar, it's not quite a coffee shop, it's somewhere in between. The staff is friendly, chatty and helpful. The prices are great for the products they serve. It reminds me of taprooms in Los Angeles or Anaheim... For 30-50% less per beer. An absolute must visit and we must keep them in business so we can all enjoy a quiet drink here once covid calms down. Love love love. ”
“ Beer drinkers, not beer drinkers, adults and kids can all find something to drink and something to do here. There's no food menu, so we just door dash our eats after a few beers. There's games and beer slushies and seating indoors or out. The staff are knowledgeable and super helpful. It's a fun place to hang out and try something new ”
