Nice downtown location (small antique shops on the same block) with a fair amount of free on-street parking available at Thursday dinnertime. It looked to be a meeting place for local families and a few brought in small children. Dining and tavern areas separated. Beverage lineup limited to beer and wine (it doesn’t have a liquor license). Five seasonals on tap to accompany about another half-dozen year-round selections. All were explained in detail by first person to serve us--very nice touch. But we weren’t offered dessert. Who doesn’t do that?

Stopped in for lunch. Bison burger was very good. Staff very knowledgeable about their beer. Had the Eastside Bitter which was good and a 5 ounce Oatmeal Stout which was a bit better.

Came to LBC on a hot and lazy Friday afternoon in July for lunch and beer. Place was not very busy, and servers were attentive, friendly, and helpful when it came to helping us figure out where we should park to visit the campus of Purdue University across the river. Another creative-reuse-of-space building in a downtown area, not particularly innovative, but not over the top, either. Beer selection was good, had seven samples. Food was really outstanding, though; had the "True Blue" burger and it was out of this world. I’d say it is _absolutely_ worth the stop if in Lafayette/at Purdue, and/or if you’d like lunch on your way from Chicago to Indianapolis as we were, it is too. But it’s like many other brewpubs in many other places, so don’t go hours out of your way, either.

Great food. A little pricey as with most brew pubs. Great beers and nice atmosphere.

Ah the place that pretty much started my love of brewpubs.

Such a local denizen. A bit of a tired interior is glorified with some gold trim. There’s a decent selection and generally helpful servers. The beers are mediocre and somewhat all over the map. Prices are very fair. This is a hard place to get excited about or disappointed with. Not really something to drive out of the way for, but a good place to stop if you’re in Lafayette. They have some bottles for sale.

Stopped by and tried their beer sampler. 5oz each of the 9 beers they were brewing at the time. They had some really nice beers and the food was very good as well.

downtown Lafayette. This was my favorite places when I was at Purdue and they have just gotten better. Large bar area and dining room downstairs. large windows facing the street. Upstairs is an enormous room with stage, tables and pool tables. Opened on weekends. Beer selection was about 8 beers. Small bottled selection. Nice menu. Best place in town.

Easy to find location directly downtown Lafayette. Street parking and lot accross street. Building is clean and orderly with brewing in the back right behind glass. Bar on front right and seating for food on the left front and in the back. Lot of talk about upstairs for music. Bar has taps in the middle with cooler on the right for six pack carry-out of one style of beer. Staff is freindly with good beer knowledge. Menu is apps and sandwich selections. Good location and sampler beer selections. Well worth the stop.

AMBIANCE: Reminded me of Arcadia in MI, although I think they’re aiming for something more like Great Dane in Madison given the menu and the decor. The smokefree until 9 is a plus. SERVICE: Fine SELECTION: Out of several beers, although the Weeping IPA and the Smokehouse Porter were on tap. FOOD: Out of several items, which apparently is a regular occurrence at the restaurant. If you’re into fried foods, this is a good place. The burger tasted like a frozen patty, and the wrap was nothing special. OVERALL: Worth a trip, but I’m not sure a return.
