One of the best spots in Williamsport. If you’re a soccer fan, it’s the BEST! Furthermore, if you’re looking for a burger they’ve got it - Double Royale. Very very good. Nice selection of beers and great bartender. Enjoy it, you won’t be disappointed.

Very nice place. Multiple floors for dinning. The food was good but the menu is small.

Excellent Brewery and dining. There is plenty of seating and outdoor seating. Keeping the old with a touch of new renovation adds a great appeal. Downstairs tavern gives a feeling of the old prohibition period. This is 5 stars, for nothing is equal in the area. The elegance is unique and a true hidden gem. Menus change every 8 weeks. Be shore to say hi to the owners, and you saw it here on Google Maps.

The food is always out of this world, and perfectly balanced. Leaves you feeling full, but not sickly full. Every server I've had there is always on their a-game, and work together really well. Even if a server isn't taking care of your party, they still check on you while passing by. So hospitable, everything always runs so smoothly and you're never waiting long for food or drinks. Cannot recommend this spot enough.

Food was very good. The menu changes perhaps with the season? There are always vegetarian options but sometimes not many fish options. Might want to check the most recent if you have any restrictions. Friendly, helpful wait staff. Varied rooms for dining as well as outdoor seating.

Great place to grab delicious food that leaves you feeling content and not overstuffed. The food is well worth the price for how it’s thoughtfully crafted and presented. The basement area was cozy and highlighted many football (soccer) teams. Great experience, highly recommend!
