Place is very big with lots of seating. Appetizers were good and prices were decent. Beers are really good. Especially if you like sours like me. Bartender offered us samples right away without us even asking which we loved. Only down fall was a fruit fly in one of our beers but bartender got us a new sample right away. Definitely recommend. Also looks like they are really adding fun stuff around the area as well. Worth the 2 hour drive.

Can’t believe we walked in with 8 people and immediately manager said we weren’t welcome. A little too happy. Rest of the staff were cool said they wee sorry that’s the way he is. We bailed.

I went to this location recently with my wife and adult son. You enter into a large room with a high ceiling and a long bar on the right side. The bartender greeted us promptly and politely. The first thing you notice is the noise. It's like a cafeteria. There's a mezzanine with some tables at the far end but I could see kids running loose up there. We sat in a smaller area opposite the door.<br><br>Food and drinks are ordered through a QR code at the table, which works well for me but some people are against QR codes for some reason. While we were figuring out our order, the kids running around the mezzanine were screaming like it was gym class.<br><br>The beer menu is very much to my liking. Lots of sours and IPA's, a nice stout and I think one or two lagers. My group ordered various sours as well as the stout while we were there. The food was all very good but tenders were very small for the price. I'm not a big eater so I didn't really mind.<br><br>The staff was very polite no matter who came over to help us. There are a lot of TV's, so it probably would be good for a game but noisy as hell.<br><br>Overall, it's a great place to go. The children's gym class eventually ended but I don't know if it was an employee that stopped it or a parent decided to be a parent finally. I likely won't return to this location because of the kids and noise but I still have to try the North St. location and I like the King Street.

Fantastic new location with plenty seating and space available. They have an unopened outdoor skating rink (that belongs to the indoor ice skating place next door). But the space can turn into an outdoor music venue during the summertime. The 2nd floor indoor and outdoor seating areas have the prime visual onto that opening space once it opens. Food is on the expensive side, especially their pizzas but not unheard of amongst breweries. Their beers are also very good. Lots of sours and collabs. There is also a Mexican restaurant that supposed to open next door in the near future. Friendly staff, clean tables, free water coolers, clean restrooms.

Young Blood is succeeding in a market segment that is stagnant, no doubt about it. I just dont understand how.<br>Met some friends for food amd drinks. Coming off of GTotM last week, lots of collabs on the menu. Between myself and others, none that we would order a second pour of. (We all had IPAs or the fest beer, no sours.) All had one or more off-flavors. One patron who ordered the cocktails said they were all solid though.<br>The food was a little better. The smash burger was underwhelming - no maillard, tasted like a steam cooked burger with little seasoning. Others ordered the crunch wrap which was better, but overly spicy.<br>The building is amazing (nice bathrooms!), location is great, good service, tons of potential, but overall disappointed in tonights food and beers.
