This place really reminded me of Mtn Sun in Boulder. Large tap selection, good looking food (I didn’t try it, however), lots of hippies, and good looking hippie chicks. Would love to frequent this place. I did have one unfortunate experience with a server that was incredibly rude, but overall, I love this place.

Definitely come here if you’re in Lawrence for even just a few hours. The menu is great, especially the daily specials, and the beers are all delicious. I particularly like their IPAs, porters, and stouts. The servers have usually tried most or all of the beers and are very friendly, and the building has plenty of seating as well.

Nice Brewpub in downtown Lawrence. Worth a trip to wind down an evening/night.

I was on my way to a concert next door and was surprised to find a top notch brew pub right there, from out of state I enjoyed myself on the patio, the beer was very good the service was great for as busy as it was on a weeknight! Popular place for sure! Well worth a visit, good beer and good service = a favorite

Went for lunch and was able to try several samples of beers I had not had before. Very good atmosphere, good food and good beers. My one complaint, they would not fill my St. Louis growler. They only fill their growlers, and I was told I would have to buy one of theirs to take away some beer. I passed, and would visit again.

The oldest brewery in KS on account of prohibition taking out all of the competition. Still, the beers (especially their Belgians and the Barleywine) are exceptional and its location on Mass st. can’t be beat.

Great place in a nice little college town. Small town vibe. Food was awesome, especially the beer cheese soup. Beers were pretty standard brewpub stuff, but above average on taste. The special beers were really good. Great ambiance.

As i walked up to this place, it seems like a nice little town, greeted by a full busiling restaurant- one seat was free alll the way at the corner at the bar but as soon as I sat down a super friendly bartender introduced himself and when i informed him i wanted samples of everything, he started dropping 2 glasses at a time, explaining each, without me saying a word. as i finished one 2 more appeared- great service. Had a chat with a friendly local who gave the food 2 thumbs up but i was still full from 23rd street. The bartender even worked on the tap so i could get the last couple ounces of their barleywine that had kicked earlier, which was very tasty! so i have to really recommend this place and its most certainly worth the drive from KC..

I visited here on a Saturday afternoon. A nice brewpub located in the college town of Lawrence, Kansas. The interior is very nice with natural light from large windows. There is seating available upstairs as well. The bar seating is limited, but I was lucky to grab a seat. There are a couple of large screen TVs airing sports events. There was a mix of young college-aged people, older regulars, and families with kids. There were a large number of taps, maybe 10, with 5-6 regular offerings and 3-5 seasonals. All the beers were excellent, perhaps none were outstanding, but all very tasty. The food also was very good (we split 2 appetizers - the Spanish baked goat cheese and the chicken tenders - plenty of food for 2 people and as I said, really really good!). The bartenders were friendly and attentive. I had a great time here and would love to come back!
