This is probably my favorite restaurant. It is small which gives it a cozy feel. The staff is amazing and the food is incredible! I am obsessed with their Cesar salad and grilled octopus for appetizers. The pork chop is giant and the best I have ever...

The vibes are moody but elegant. I would like to note that they don’t take reservations. The cocktails are amazing and the food is just incredible. I personally love the tacos!

They rotate what they have on tap frequently. It gives me a chance to try something new instead of always stick to one beer. They also have really fun events! I love that they are kid and dog friendly as well.
Demo Brewing Company

Food Trucks

I've learned that the best food comes from food trucks.

This is a new favorite for me! The truck was out by one of the breweries we were at and of course I needed to try it. I got the lobster grilled cheese and it was soooo good! I have been craving it ever since.
