The beers are pretty decent, but today's server was awful. Although I understand and respect house rules as they relate to the number of samples, it felt pretty rude for her to tell me that I can only have 2 as they only served 2 per person. We had a group of 6 people, so in theory, we had 12 samples based on the "house rules." Yhe other people with me only had 3 samples, so there was no need for her to emphasized the number of samples. By the way, the place was empty, so there was absolutely no reason for her to be so rude about it. We almost left right away but ended up spending over $100 in less than 45 mins (as mentioned, the beers are good). This will be the last time they see us at Riptide as service is a big deal for me and the people I hang out with. It's disappointing, as we had a better experience in the past. I guess we need to stick to Ankrolab, Hopesized, and Fort Myers Brewing Co. during our stay in...
Read moreThe beer: great beer. It goes every well with the environment of Naples. From IPAs to Stouts and everything in between. Chris and Ken are awesome, and if they brewery is empty, they will be your best friends. The place has a cool environment to it that let's you enjoy your beer and your company all the same.
The food: bar food? Yes. The best bar food you will ever have? yes. A very special taste to everything cooked. Freddy, the cook, does everything with this background in mind and makes sure every flavor is present. Take his recommendations and you wont be let down. The nachos, tacos and wings are a must.
Overall, this is an amazing place with good music, good environment, great beers and great food to go with. You'll be treated...
Read moreGood brewery! Nice variety of beers to choose from with everything being pretty enjoyable; had a hazy IPA and a ‘wee-heavy’ Scotch ale style beer while here. Checked this place out after Ankrolab Brewing Co., which does have slightly better beers, but this place has a far superior mojo. Makes for a good 1-2 punch combo due to the different aesthetics and proximity to one another. There’s a couple pinball machines, an electronic jukebox, and picnic tables outside for outdoor drinking. I’ll definitely be back to check out some more beer styles in the near future.
Edited my review since my Riptide Brewing review got attached to Kaleidoscope...
