November 14, 2009 Visited this place a few months ago and ended up getting a parking ticket for the confusing parking situation. Had the oatmeal cookie stout, witbier and something else. The beer was pretty good. Nothing on the food menu struck me as particularly good. The bar wench checked on us quite often and a cute guy behind the bar let me try an interesting sounding mixed drink. On par with most bars with regard to their prices. Nice bar. A few flat screens and a pool table. Seems like a cool place to relax at after work. I’d go back. |

October 30, 2009 all their own beers. always a range of selection. usually at least one hand-pump cask ale. monthly "brewers special" keg which is gone when it’s gone. bartenders are friendly but knowledge is variable. wide variety of "urban-chic" food. tends to be pricey b/c of the tourism. paying for parking blows.
...pretty sure they’ll do growlers if you ask... apparently there is a fee. |

October 18, 2009 Went here on a Sunday for lunch. Food was very good. The stage is nice too. They had a guy and a guitar, was nice. We had their sampler of beer. 5 beers, all interesting except the American Lite. Tastes like water. Anyway, it’s a nice atmosphere, lots of exposed beams and steel. |

August 8, 2009 Agree with pollocknicity2...I usually don’t care for pumpkin ale but theirs is pretty outstanding. |

August 7, 2009 Every fall, this place makes a great pumpkin ale that’s just amazing. They also make an above average honey wheat beer and a truly awesome coffee and cream stout.
The overall value of this place, in my book, goes down for two reasons: they jack up their prices because they’re in a touristy area, and their menu selections aren’t always complementary to a good beer.
I like Triumph beers, but the Triumph down in Philly has a much better ambiance and menu. |

July 3, 2009 We sat outside and enjoyed a tasty Simcoe IPA. Food was ok. Wasn’t really interested in the food as I was the beer. Seemed to be a pretty low key place, not over the top fancy but not a dive, right in the middle with lots of open space inside. It was quiet so not sure how the place holds up if it gets busy. |

June 24, 2009 I’d take this over the Princeton Triumph. I think the beer is a little better. The menu’s small, but good and they can whip something weird up no problem if you ask. Anyway, there’s much better beer right across the river; but if you’re in New Hope, you have to stop. |

April 5, 2009 Stopped in on a saturday afternoon after reading about the place. The bartender was really attentive and had good suggestions regarding the menu. I ordered the sampler, and he was also cool enough not to give the old "roll of the eyes" for having to put it together. I picked up 2 growlers of the Bengal IPA to take back home. Good stop. Reccomended. |

March 30, 2009 Good beer, decent service, great happy hour prices, and it’s nice and clean. Didn’t even look at a menu, so they get an "N/A" in that dept. Unfortunately, on the day I was there, they only had 4 beers (two flavored wheats, and two lagers) so I can’t give them much in the "selection" category, but I’m really hoping it was an off day? |

January 20, 2009 Visited on a very very cold Saturday afternoon with willblake and dickinsonbeer. Located in a shopping area that is clean and attractive. The interior is quite expansive with lots of brick and open space. Service was just average from the bartender but would not sway me either way about visiting again. Seven house beers on draft with about 3 of them being staples and the other four rotating. The tap list seems to be updated on the website on a fairly regular basis and everything listed was available on the day of my visit. The Oatmeal Cookie Stout was simply awesome and I would drive there again simply to drink more of this fantastic creation. Food was good and is more imaginative and of a higher quality then your standard burger and wings. This place looks like it could be real lively on weekend nights and I wish it was closer then an hour and a half from my house. |
