Amazing place for hanging out with friends. Big and spacious with view. Good beers and food. Usually there is some waiting in busy hours. Plenty of parking available.

Went for a happy hour on a weekday . This place is the old fault line location but is rebranded . Service was top notch , the server was super attentive & was able to get orders quickly Food was the best part of happy hour . Usually finger foods are meh but here they maintain the quality of regular Ala carte Drinks are great, there is a good selection for a very decent price There is a gratuity for parties of 6 or more auto added .

The atmosphere is nice if you are seating by the windows you get to see a little lake. I had the special of the day and did not disappoint! There were a lot of beers sold out in the menu, which is why I give it a 4 stars.

I love this place so much. I specifically love to come here for brunch. My favorite is the shrimp and grits, and my daughter proclaimed that the French toast is incredible. Their beer is really good too. I’ve never had anything here that I don’t like. The cheese curds are another favorite. It’s a great place to come and watch sports, and the outdoor area is really nice and peaceful. Great music too!

We went for Friday dinner with a few colleagues after work. It’s a convenient place near our Santa Clara office. We started with the appetizers and beers. There are many options for the main course, burgers, bowls, steaks..etc. the service is quick and attentive.

Pretty great experience, friendly staff and a great outdoor spot to hang out. The beers were great and the food was even better. For what you get the prices were fair so can't complain. I hope to return!

Food was pretty good; got the garlic fries and the pizza. Pizza was thin crustish but higher quality ingredients. Many choices of food all around and theres something for everyone. All looked quality. Venue was cool too.. They forgot our strawberry lemonade and bell peppers on our pizza, granted we were a big group. Waiting on water a little while. They were slow, and then just us as a big group.

This was a decent brewery with a very nice location. It was not busy when when we were there (Wednesday lunch) and service was fast. They have a lot of TVs. The beers on tap were fine. They didn't have a terribly wide selection but did a few things well. Not worth going out of the way specifically for the beer though, as a brewery aficionado. Food was also fine, we had the nachos. A good place to visit but the location seemed to be the biggest draw. It seems to have had several names over the years.
