had a great time we just signed for our home decided to stop by. The beers where great. Over the top with the brews and there trying to make something great. The food and services was also very good. The server tried to talk ber did a good job and was trying with all her heart. The place was an old Electric place so it was to style and cool looking. Wath for the traisn they will make noise ad add to your experience . This was a great time and I will be back there beers are just that good, I will take a medicine bottle next time home full of 32oz of sweet beer.

Nice find on a detour through Puyallup. Definitely liked the selection, and the atmosphere was killer with all the old electrical stuff on the walls, including the static arc that kept scaring the shit out of my wife. Pizza was great, sevice was decent, will try again soon.

Hard to find, I guess trimming the trees in front of the sign is too much work. Ordered an IPA, was handed a Wheat. Is IPA too long of a word for a waitress to remember? The IPA was good, my wife had the samplers, she thought the Ales & Lager were whippy. Tried the Overload Pizza based on the last review, great menu idea but the 12" pizza was way too small. They don’t tell you on the menu that they are only the size of a dinner plate. On a positive note, whoever decorated this place did a first class job with the electric insulators.

I am biased since this is my local hangout. Whenever a train passes by on the tracks next to the building a Jacob’s ladder is triggered. The building is a former railroad power station, and the decor reflects that. I have always had great service. There is a core of six or seven staple ales on tap, with an additional rotation of four or five seasonals, all brewed in-house. The 4-Alarm Oatmeal Stout, Amperage Amber, and Saison all highly recommended. Food is pub fare, with a somewhat small menu selection that is compensated for in quality. The Overload Pizza and Fish Tacos are highly recommended. The wife is fond of their Portobello Mushroom Sandwich.

Review based on over a dozen visits 2002-2004. One of my favorite brewpubs. Parking lot a little small, park on the other side of the train tracks if you have to. Very cool decreations with plants and electric items. Small bar only seats about 6 people, but worth going when they aren’t busy to get a seat at it. Family friendly seating. The upstairs area seems only to be open at busy times. Food is very good, anything on the menu I would trust. Pay attention to the chalk board on your right when you first enter for food specials. Some often unique beers, including Wit and Coffee Porters. Good details on the beers presented on chalkboard behind bar. Great place, worth a visit. negative: Not a great place to just hang out. Pretty much active eating and drinking is the environment.

Very cool place, comfortable and inviting. Nice brick and neat electric-themed paraphernalia. I especially liked the arcing "Frankenstein" thingie. Much more tasteful than a fern bar. Good service, Excellent food with a capital E. The customers are just as friendly as the waitstaff. A dozen brews on tap (one was rootbeer), brewed onsite or at sister brewpub Enginre House #9. All the beers were good, if slightly sweet and underhopped. I could live there.
