Other than the old lady who will stalk you, its a good place. Its the place to find good beer in Hville. Food selection not that great, and service marignal to good. But beer selection. Best in town... well for now.. competition coming. The outside deck is very nice... which sets amvieance high.

Having lived in Huntsville for a few years, I was all too familiar with the almost complete lack of a beer scene (I think things have improved in the past 3 years since I’ve moved away). This place was my beer oasis for the time I lived in the area. Amazing tap list that rivals beer bars in big cities. Great staff that knows their beers too. I was introduced to numerous new breweries and beer styles thanks to this place. For what it lacks in general style and food offerings, it more than makes up for it in fantastic beer.

this place was really great, from the people to the beer...enjoyed it all...

Available secure WiFi (just ask), German Food on Tuesday, Guest Chef on Saturday. New beers on Monday and Saturday. Bright front bar area, dim back bar area, and huge deck out back.

I stopped here for a few brews on the recommendation of my brother-in-law. I’m glad I did. We sat outside on a nice deck underneath some beautiful trees. I ordered a J.W Lees Harvest Ale 2001 and a draft of St. Bernardus Abt 12. Frankly, these beers far exceeded what I expected from a bar in Alabama. Beverly, our initial server, was extremely knowledgable, friendly, and entertaining. While we enjoyed her company, our other server was pretty crabby and kept us waiting too long between rounds. The Nook offers a few hundred different craft brews, with a nice selection of German and Belgian offerings. This is definitely worth a stop if you are in the area.

Great selection of beers, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Very friendly crowd. The place to go for beer in H’ville.

Most beers served in 12 oz goblet,  patio, no wifi, 48 draft, 350+ in bottles, looks like an old apartment complex office that’s been converted into a bar. The rooms kind of zigzags and taps are stuck all over in random corners, or even outside on the patio. Music is 80’s on the night I visited. It’s well lit. Fridges are on the dark side and they don’t keep the green glass bottles next to the lights. Clearly the best selection if local brews on tap. On the negative, the prices are much, much worse then the best beer bars in DC and Asheville, NC, aka beertown USA. Typically a flight of 4 beers will run you $5-6, they charged $8-15 for a flight. They charge more for higher alcohol beers. They define higher alcohol beers as over 7%, which is silly since the average craft beer is 6%. regardless, it doesn’t make any sense to price them that way, since the percent alcohol doesn’t necessarily correlate to price of the beer. Also, if they are going to price them that way, it should have been on the draft list, so we weren’t surprised that our tab was DOUBLE what we were expecting. They have clearly lost the plot, because flights are generally slightly cheaper compared to the full pint, to encourage you to try new beers. We sat at the bar near the dishwasher and the bartender only chatted with her friends, but didn’t talk to us beyond asking our orders. She also showed a shocking lack of knowledge of the beers they serve and even made the silly recommendation of mixing cider and sprite to a lady. Parking was OK, but probably not enough for a full house. Frankly, I would rather go to Stem & Stein where they may not have as many local taps, but the vibe is better, the staff is interested in learning more about their product, and the prices are MUCH more reasonable. These folks are taking advantage of the Rocket City, and it is very sad to see.

Located in an office park with doctors offices and insurance agents. The place is two rooms divided by a wall with a bit of a patio section. It’s very bright in here especially at night and they’re are mirrors all over the place. While it’s nice they don’t have tv’s I’m damned if I can figure out how the place is organized and I’m double damned if this place feels like any kind of hangout. They have over 40 taps, including a number of locals, and they’re located all over the place. They have taps between the two bars, outside, even in the customer seating area. I wouldn’t be surprised if they have a tap in the bathroom. They do allow you to build flights from their taps which is good and they have a lot of craft beers, over 300 in bottles, available. Again I’d come here to try a new beer but I wouldn’t hang out here. I wrote this before we got the bill. For 9 4oz. tasters of local beers, 1 $5 bottle, and 1 half pint of local milk stout the bill was a grand total of $44.00. We were told after the fact, there are no portion listings on the menu nor prices for the tasters, that the samplers for low gravity stuff, like a Paulaner Hefe were $2 and for high gravity stuff were $3.50. Unfortunately this explanation is complete bullshit since no beer on either list exceeded 7%. In fact the abvs between the two lists were quite comparable. So they charge the same price for a sampler of Straight to Ale lily flagg milk stout as the Churchkey, one of the best beer bars in Washington DC, charges for Life and Limb. Does that make any sense to anyone? This place is a joke. I will never go back.

This place in on par with any big city tap house. I gave it a 5 for ambiance simply because it is what a good beer bar should be. There are no TVs, good music, and great conversation. The draft list is impressive, (Bruges Zot on draft, lol). I visit Huntsville for work and will come here anytime I’m in town.

Awesome selection of beers. Almost 300 bottles and 30 tap selections. The ambiance and decor are a little lacking, but the history behind the place is interesting. The food selection is mediocre, but the service makes up for the shortfall.
