Simply the best selection of beers we came across in Hamilton. Some brilliant beer from Badlands, Third Moon, Counterpart & even a Chimay beer on draught. Highly recommended if in Hamilton

The first couple of times I came, I didn’t like the atmosphere, but every time since it has grown exponentially on me. The beer selection is extensive and the atmosphere is right between crowded and cozy. If you can get a seat on the back patio in good weather, you can’t beat it.Reminds me of what I loved about Johnny’s Coffee (RIP).

It's what you'd expect from a little bar - maybe a little less than that... Probably should be 4 stars. There isn't a proper kitchen but the food they put together is quite good. Not a huge beer selection but it's decent. Good bar service but no table service as far as I know. A solid 4, generously a 5. Would go again and could see myself being a regular if I lived in the area.

Is a nice place with good atmosphere. I can't give the five star because about the barman. Last time we came the bartender was rude and discriminatory towards us. The table next to us were drunk and their drinks were thrown at us and the bartender took our drinks from us, he was running only us. Then he realized his act and tried to fix it by lying that they were going to close and he was going to do the same with the others. Next time I would look for other options before here; just because of the bartender.

Felt like a coffee shop but was a bar. Great craft beer selection. Quick service. Chill vibes. Would love to come back the next time I’m in town.

Friends have been talking about this bar for a long time, and I finally ended up going. The venue is chill, with a cool atmosphere. It's dark and feels dingy, but in a good way. The wall art is unique and gives you lots to look at during your visit. They have lots to offer for cocktails and beers and also have small snacks to munch on while you're there. The samosas were tasty. Overall, it was a great experience. I would recommend this place for before dinner drinks.

Cool little spot with a serious craft beer listing and probably one of the only craft beer bars with Portuguese vinho verde so that's kind of neat. Small and dim, quiet atmosphere.

I'd be a regular if I lived nearby. Large beer selection, nice vibe, no table service but good bar service, very friendly vibe.Washrooms are down a flight of stairs and have that beloved hipster broken down look. Very much reminded me of my early 20's in TO in the 'aughts. Only two washrooms, fully enclosed ungendered.

Love the place my favourite pub to go to....Until the sidewalk Patio was removed because it was too much of a hassle". Sad. We have little enough good weather in Canada. To have a pint in the fresh air during summer is a must...A real shame."
