I went opening day. The place was spilling over with cars trying to find a parking spot. So much so that cars were parking in the park across the street and their occupants walking up the hill to get there. Even with the overflow, once inside we were able to get our drinks within 10 minutes and found a spot to lean on the railing and look at the incredible views.

Beer selection is always changing and delicious. To those complaining about a lack of tables service…. Have you ever been to a brewery?? This isn't a thing. To those complaining about food wait lines, yes- they’ve been long and wait is long, but this brand new business is dealing with unprecedented volumes of visitors. They’re still learning and tweaking. Give them at least a month to figure things out. Thanks Grist House, we’re so excited that...
