Texas Ale Project — Restaurant in Dallas

I'm giving 3 stars not because of the beer, (the beer is AMAZING!) but because of an experience we had a few weeks ago. My husband, father in law, and I walked in to have a few beers and hang out because my father in law was visiting us from out of town and had never been before. Obviously we take him to the best brewery to show him a good time! However, they were having a crawfish boil that was apparently a "closed event" that you had to purchase tickets for. They didn't have any signs up saying they were closed, so we just walk in. We go to the bar and I ask for a beer and was told to show proof I was part of the event. We were not, so we were rushed out and told to leave. Not a big deal, but the attitude was a little bit unnecessary. After we walk out, someone runs over and closes a big gate behind us.

It's been a few years since I've last been and there appears to be more variety on their website, so I chalk it up as bad timing for my visit. I also didn't ask if they had the other options in cans available, so not asking was on me. It was still a lovely couple of hours I spent there with friends, having a couple of beers...

Ideal event space! This place was great for a recent party. We had about 20 attendees but the tap room could easily fit up to 60. Kris Patrick, the Event Manager, arranged for four long tables to be set up with black tablecloths so we could bring in our own decor, food, etc. The reservation fee was by far the best value I found while searching around, and Kris was very responsive over email and phone. Parking was easy and everyone had a...
