That is because brew-pubs were allowed in the state after a law was passed in 1994. Its rustic-cozy ambiance is accentuated by antique light fixtures, African tribal decorative elements and wooden furnishing. From extra special bitter (ESB) to pale ales, wheat to porters, IPAs and stouts, you can tipple on their craft brews. Nosh on their tasty bites that are a worthy accompan... read more

Food was good. Waitress was attentive (while very busy) and pleasant. Main draw was the jazz, which they had on NYE (as well as every Thursday). It was hot!

Great atmospheric and bartender was friendly and attentive. Didn’t care at all for the beer or the food.

Awesome time at HG on Main Street. Burger and hash browns were full of flavor and really enjoyed the Oktoberfest and Brown Ale. Loved the concert as well.

Gave the HG at the Hangar a try since we loved the original DT location. The hangar is beautiful! They've done a great job with the "feel" of the place. The sign said seat ourselves. We sat at a table. We saw a bartender and servers walking around, but no one said a word. After 10 minutes we left....As we were walking out, 3 or 4 staff members were at the front desk eating pizza. They said the sign says go to the bar to order. Well, if you see customers sitting.. perhaps they didn't see the sign. Menu only has pizza, pretzel... read more

Business response:

We appreciate your past business at HG-Main street location and are so glad that you have enjoyed that. The new Hangar location is primarily a full production brewery (for distribution off-site as well as service on premises). At the Hangar, the focus is the beer with a much more limited food menu and service. (Please note that many breweries rely on food trucks and/or have very limited food o... read more
