We came here on 23.12.2019 after a great skiing day in Stowe. Bar with a few tables, ambiance is not exciting. 30 beers on tap, a great selection. 3 beers from Hill Farmstead, beers from Trillium, Lawson’s and AleSmith. Super nice service. Absolutely recommendable!

Diner style bar with larger dining rooms expanding off of one side. Packed place during the holiday week with many vacationing families. The bar design creates a bottleneck of people trying to find service or their companions; service was friendly while the staff were in herding mode. Daily specials on beer including Hill Farmstead specials on Wednesday. Certainly seems to be a local favorite especially for drinking although the menu also has a higher-end gastropub feel. I'll stop in again when things are less crazy to find out.

Nice new addition to Stowe. The place gets insanely crowded during ski season even on off times so keep that in mind. The service was really strange as the hostess seemed put off by the fact that we were there. She may have been a bit flustered due to the crowd but she basically told us "LONG WAIT 45 minutes+" even though there was nobody waiting and a couple empty tables visible. We were seated within 10 minutes and from then on the service was fine. Good tap list from local favorites to international stuff. Food is really the star here. Just great pub dishes that are a bit pricy but really good.

Cool restaurant with good food, typical Vermont grub focusing on quality local ingredients. Good atmosphere with a blend of locals and visitors interested in having a good time. Family-friendly,. Great tap list, including both Vermont top notch offerings and external standouts such as Oxbow. A very recommandable place to have a meal and pint in Stowe.

Visited here twice, mid November, once to drink, and once to drink and eat. Great tap list. Decent prices. The bar area felt a bit crammed in, with not much room between the bar and adjacent seating, but there’s plenty of other seating. Service was good. The day after we called for food and drinks. Place was busy with a decent atmosphere. The food was a big let down, though. My burger was well cooked, but completely bland. The missus’ eggplant and mozzarella sandwich was an oily, inedible mess. The server got our drinks wrong, too. With so many other places to choose from round here, this isn’t somewhere I’d bother giving another chance, I don’t think.

Hip bar, but still kid-friendly (if that matters to you). Great selection of beers, with a wide variety of styles (instead of just IPAs, as many restaurants in Stowe/Waterbury seem to focus on). Well-priced and tasty food. Overall great, and I would definitely come back here whenever I’m back in Stowe.

This place Rocks!!!!!! From the people that brought you Hen of the Wood. Great tap list, nice bottle selection, killer food a reasonable prices for Stowe. It’s on the Rec Path, so bike in for a bite & a brew.
