A: lots of space for a seat at the bar, tall tables, and a separate room for more dining in the back. A screen drops down for Sunday football, windows for watching activity in the brewery, a few tvs, and a small stage for open micnight/bands.
Q: Full bar for mixed drinks, and plenty of taps. The place is clean, and everything was nicely eexecuted.
Ser: nothing bad, but nothing to write home about.
Sel: the full bar is nice for folks not crusading for beer. Not sure about wine. The only complaint on the beer is a total lack of guest taps.
Food: great stuff! Someone really knows what they're doing back there. I highly recommend the boneless wings & hopsauce.
Overall: if I lived in Michigan City, i'd probably come here a lot. Sadly, I just come when I have to run an errand inportage (or farther east). I suggest swinging by after shopping at lighthouse, or whatever you're doing outhere.

Nice, open yet cozy atmosphere with an incredible selection of beer from pale ale to stouts and a variety of each. I sat at the inside bar as the outside bar area wasn’t open for the season yet. The staff was friendly, although not terribly attentive. Still, I will definitely come back when in the area.

Not the prettiest place or in the prettiest neighborhood. The wood paneled walls might be going for an old lake cottage or dive bar feel but it wasn't really my thing. Food took forever to come out and when it did it was pretty mediocre, with my limp fries being the most obvious mistake. Beer was decent however with a nice but not overly exciting selection. Service was fine; I would've liked an apology for just how long the food took though. Price for one of the bottles I bought to go was higher than that listed on the menu which always annoys me, especially when it's a menu they clearly have to print up relatively often.

Great little "gem". I love their BA beers that you can purchase to go. Hopefully they stay relatively under the radar so I can continue to stop by EVERY time i'm nearby to buy some BA bottles and enjoy a great meal and a beer.

This place gave me everything I expected when I first walked in the door. A big selection of older styles, all fine but not great. Decent but not fantastic service. Long waits for pretty decent food. A big, soulless restaurant vibe. If you are looking for average everything, this is the place for you!

The requisite interesting old building.
Large enough draft selection, more regulars but a few seasonals/one offs.
Vintage bottles are a tad high, but the market bears it I guess. I still bought the last 2011 Lost Sailor.
Food was excellent. The place was packed on a non-football Sunday afternoon, looked like mostly with people for meals.

Good beer and good food selection. Perhaps a tad pricey for Michigan City.
