On the corner of Whitehead Street with not so easy street parking in front. Clean wood older building with bar in middle with metal top and tables outside for food and beverages and brewing operations in the back. Three standards on tap. All were solid drinkable brews. Freindly bartender from Michigan with good knowledge. Did not eat, but the menu of starters, salads, sandwiches, and pasta entrees looked very good. Good location mid-day and I will stop again.

Came for Dinner @ 8:30. Somewhat of a wait, 4 people said ’Someone will be right with you’ before we were seated. Nice place, off the busy area of town. All outdoor seating except the bar. Not too loud. Beer selection seems the standards, plus their own microbrews. Very low key. The coconut table bread is very good, with bits of coconut.

Key West is alovel plave, and a brewpub is nice to find. The place looks quite okej, but the service and the beers are not that good. I had three beers and two of them were really bad. Also the service was bad. It took a long time to get the beers, and I cant say the people working were very devoted... Food was ok, but not more.

the people who work there are not bothered by a little thing called the customer. they have no idea what rate beer is or could they give a shit. at some point they can be attentive and somewhat professional. they make a golden ale that i think is pretty darn good. then you could just leave and go somewhere else.

Service was slow, but pretty good considering the previous ratings. Beer is below average but the best you will get in Key West. Food is a very good value.

Horrible service. Took 15 minutes to order at the bar; in fact, it took 15 minutes for someone to notice I was standing there waiting to order... NO KIDDING! I ordered a sampler plus two full-size beers, one for my fiancee and one for her dad. Those came first, so I took them to our table. Came back to find the sampler sitting there with the bartender on the other side of the bar (there were MAYBE 8 people in the bar; not busy AT ALL.) An off-duty bartender, who happened to be sitting nearby, told me which beers were which, which wasn’t hard considering there were only three. Waitstaff never acknowledge our party of 4 was there. No one asked for a drink order, no one offered a food menu-- not even a "hello." No one even bothered to seat us when we arrived, despite 4 waiters standing at the entrance. No one offered a check telling me the amount of my order; I didn’t bother inquiring about the cost. Thank you for the free brews, jerks.

Stopped in the afternoon of 5/28 to "drink local" and support the Microbrew. They only had 3 Micros on tap and a couple of Macros. I only tried the "Key West Golden Ale" which really is an IPA (per the bartender who didn’t seem very excited about their beers). So, change the name! I didn’t try anymore since the service was bad. Grant it was a slow afternoon but the bartender was no where to be found for about 15 minutes or so leaving me and about 6 other patrons unattended. I didn’t try the food but the menu looked very good. Beer is just average but a good break from all of the beers on Duval St. Also, it is located in the building that was the Birthplace of PanAm airlines. Nice decor!

Menu was rather strange, but food was good. Very limited selection of beer but what they did have wasn’t too bad, I mean nothing wonderful. Atmosphere is really cool, eat under the trees in historic key west

great place the cats roam freely as in most of Key West. Beer is blah - but the food was great. and again atmosphere was very nice.

Typical Key West ambiance, but that is not a bad thing in my book. Great ambiance though not unique to area. Beers are very disappointing. I did not try the food. Worth a stop, just don’t expect good beer, let alone anywhere else on the island. Sam Adams and Guiness is as top shelf as you will get in Key West. Just avoid Hogs Breath Saloon unless you want to hang out with tourists and cruise ship patrons
