Pooles Island Brewing Company

I freaking love this place! I recently moved away from this area and the thing that saddens me the most is that I'll no longer be nearby this spot. This place has the option to be self serve, but you can always head up to the bar and order whatever you'd like. They also have items with a higher alcohol content behind the bar. Poole's serve every type of alcohol except hard liquor! They have wine and seltzers in addition to beer, so anyone can come and enjoy. I'm not kidding when I say they have some of the strongest and best wine around. They normally have a food truck on site for you to eat while you relax, but I would love for them to have their own food and menu! The vibe here is open, friendly, and beautiful when it's nice outside for the outdoor seating. This place is super dog friendly, so you can bring your furry friends. I used to frequent this place time and time again when I lived in the community surrounding it, and I miss it dearly!

Waited for 10 minutes with my family and nobody came to seat us. Bartenders just staring. Nobody took initiative to greet us and to get the hostess. So we left...

Go here if you like really bad beer. I had things that were unidentifiable by taste. Nothing was well made. There are better local establishments that deserve your money.

Every time I travel, I try a local brewery. This one was outstanding. It's a huge inside space and very modern. Theu have bar seating and a variety of high tops and table seating around the taproom. They have a cool pour your own wall so you can try and drink at your own space. There's also a decent sized outdoor patio. I tried several beers including the smiths golden, schatz merican pilsner, bay haze and the squeeze. The bay haze was outstanding and perfect on this beautiful day. There was a local food truck as well and was delicious. I highly recommend this brewery. They are dog and family friendly.

I decided to pop by here today as I saw they have a DIPA. It was a very fruity DIPA and wasn't for me. I found the beer here to be very fruity or chocolatey. Definitely not my jam for beer but the atmosphere is nice and the owner was also very nice. I can't say I'm a fan of the self pouring stations either.
