I've been here twice and I really like it. Super dog friendly, great menu and the staff were very accommodating. The food is really good. I love how many dogs are there. It looks over the river (when it's full). Great beer. Busy on weekends.

Visited in mid-November for the first time and had a great experience. They were really busy and don't take reservations so it was about at 30 minute wait for the patio and it was around 45 degrees outside however they have enough heaters outside that the jackets came off. The BBQ burger had tons of sauce and was perfectly cooked. I paired it with an Old Fashioned which they made well. I'll definitely be back.

First time here. It's popular! I was surprised waking in. Got the BIG pretzel. Yum - came with a sweet mustard sauce and a cheese sauce. Got the classic burger and asked for only 1 patty instead of the double smashed patti. It's PLENTY filling. Great burger too. I like how the bun held up even with the sauce smothering the burger. Had the S'more Cheesecake for dessert. Although it looks amazing, the marshmallow layer on top was way too thick and hard, so when we tried to cut into it, it smashed all the way down to the bottom. We had to use our steak knife to cut through it. I wouldn't get it again. Eating a totally smushed cheesecake wasn't good. One thing I didn't particularly like were the dogs. I guess they're allowed. A couple times one would bark real loud - scared me to death. It's just not my favorite thing to be eating amongst peoples dogs at a restaurant. Servers were great and food was brought out quick. Bathroom was clean as well. 3 stalls in women's.

We had such a great time dining here. I ordered the rosé blonde and a citrus salad with salmon. My mom ordered the box Canyon Pilsner, and the Idy burger. Both orders were excellent. We experienced friendly customer service and got to enjoy the beautiful views of Idyllwild. We will be back!

Thiiiiis is the spot. Burgers, fries, etc. sounded so good after a hike, and they did not disappoint. I ended up going for the fish and chips--it was pretty much perfect. You really can't go wrong with their menu. Patio is dog-friendly and well shaded. They were packed, but the wait for a table was a lot shorter than anticipated (went from 30 mins to 10 mins). Service is a little slow, but we did go during peak lunch hour over the weekend.

Amazing brewpub well-deserving of its 5 stars. They have a wonderful outdoor seating area. Weather was beautiful while we were here, and it was so enjoyable to enjoy our drinks and dinner outside. They also allow dogs (and have a little doggie menu), so that automatically gives it a step up in my book! The fish and chips are incredible - good portion of fish with crispy breading. Tasty onion rings, too! Delicious cider options. Good selection of draft beers - their flight of beer was a great option to get to try 4 different ones. Great service! Everyone was super friendly and helpful! Highly recommend stopping by for dinner or a drink.

What can I say? I love this place up in the mountains. I was camping at the nearby Idylwild campground and it's a 10 minute walk from there. They have some really good sours and IPAs and it's a great atmosphere lots of people here visiting from the surrounding area, including palm desert. The dog friendly decent although I didn't have any food here. The staff are not as polished as you would expect in a city, but still friendly I enjoyed the beer sampler

Absolutely love the Brewpub and highly recommend it to all locals (if you somehow still haven't tried it) and all visitors of Idyllwild!! We came here after a hot hike as it was seemingly the only restaurant open on Wednesdays in town. We each enjoyed a flight of beers (mostly local brews)! We also enjoyed the Brussels sprouts and a pretzel - all was delicious. Overall the ambiance of the place is what makes it so great - there is ample seating available both indoors and outdoors, with some tables looking out over the woods. There are several TVs, a bar inside, and just overall a lot of space for large groups. The staff were all very friendly and made some good recommendations for beers! We enjoyed our flights and getting a chance to try some new beers. It was the perfect place to kick back after a hike, have something refreshing to drink and grab a few tasty bites! The creek behind the brewpub also has some walking paths along the water if you'd like to go for a post-brew walk. Will absolutely be coming back next time I'm in Idyllwild!

Fave spot to visit whenever I'm in Idyllwild. We had drinks and some snacks. The beignets were a miss-came out raw first and then Burnt so we'll skip those for sure next time-but we'll always come back!
