First time here and the vibes are rad! Good food good drinks and music bingo happening tonight. Oh and dogs are allowed on the patio!

Visitors to the island, we took a beautiful day trip which included Goats on the Roof and Cathedral Grove, great stops along the way. The BEST part of our day was Gladstone Brewery, where we were greeted by the warm and exuberant owner, Alexandra, who clearly knew many of her patrons. She offered up her husband, Daniel, to give us a tour which demonstrated how much passion and knowledge he had about his product. Speaking of their product - we had flights served on license plates and were able to purchase our faves to take home (mine were Hazy and Glad Light, my husband the Cream Ale and Pilsner, but flights will help you choose for yourself). We were there at 3:30 and the space was almost full with everyone from young children (and cute pups!) to seniors. We decided to stay for dinner, where I had the tacos- why choose? You can get one of each! My husband chose the burger, which he loved. Delicious and fresh, I found my tacos authentic, yet innovative - one is veggie! It was clear a great deal of thought and care went into everything, but the overall atmosphere for us was come as you are, and enjoy!

Perfect place to grab some drinks and food. We drove up from Victoria and were so impressed with everything and everyone here. We met Alejandra and immediately felt like this is the place to be! Don’t miss out on this spot. Great brews and even better people!

I was blown away with how good the mole chicken tacos were! Great beer, enjoyed the Glad Light. Awesome experience !
