Sports bar decorated with lots of memorabilia. Very good food and friendly service. Great beers.

I think I hit this place on an off day (for me.) The service here was EXCELLENT! They had just run out of the Whiskey Barrel aged stout, but they made a great effort to track down if they had any in the back. The style is definitely sports-bar. If that’s your thing, you’ll like that aspect of this place. They didn’t have any others besides the standard selection - out of Uberhoppy and the Stout. The food was better than usual pub fare.

Pretty cool spot. T.V.’s everywhere. Good food and a decent offering of tapped beers.

Large high ceiling bar area full of sports memrobilia was a bit on the dark side. The beer selection was’nt bad with about 9 beers available. The service was good and the people knowledgable. Did’nt eat so can’t comment on the food. Met one of the brewers and he went in the back and dug up a bottle of their Grand Cru and one of Decadence12! The Grand Cru was amazing and the 12 was good also!Very cool pub well worth checking out!

Visited here on 3/3/07 from 3pm-7pm. Upon arrival, the interior is large and cavernous and warehouse-like. There is a lot of sports memorabilia on the walls and hanging from the ceiling. While I like sports, the littering of memorabilia seemed kind of garish. The bar is on the left, while there is a large patio with tables on it. There are also some video games and such on the right. Several TVs and large screens are present as well. Bathrooms are small and a bit run down. Initial service was good, but the bartender I had left and the replacement was not overly attentive. Granted, it was a little bit busier. They had 10 beers on tap and no seasonals (they ran out of their Uber IIPA 2 days prior, which I was looking forward to having). The menu was quite large and seemed rather impressive. I wasn’t overly hungry, so I ordered the Jalepeno Cheese stuffed pretzel, which was ok at best. It definitely tasted like freezer. Either way, the beer was good, which is all I really care about. For those of you visiting here, be careful as Stockton is a dangerous town and has the 2nd highest car theft rate in the nation. I have been here twice since my initial rating and I must say that they have the worst food I have ever had at a brewpub. Ridiculously salty.

Went there with a great buddy of mine (aspitides) and sampled most of the beers that were on tap. Excellent atmosphere (very friendly, sociable people), good food (although I admit I didn’t have anything too extravagant) and EXCELLENT selection of beer/liquor and really excellent service with friendly people all the way around. I will definitely be returning for all they have to offer.
