Pulpit Rock Brewing Company — Restaurant in Decorah

Great place to try out craft brews. The brewmasters are ninjas always concocting something new and different. Great variety of brews. Inside at the bar is a jovial friendly combination of locals and tourists. Or if you prefer, there are tables for your group. The outside patio is spacious and dog friendly. They don't mind if you want to bring in your own food. Pizza seems to be popular. Casey's up the road has excellent pizzas or else try the high wide and handsome pizza from downtown. And wait!

My kind of place!! Pulpit has a fantastic selection of brews… shout out to the Saftig and the Salty Dog!!
