Stillwell Beer Garden

Being a craft beer fan, I have been wanting to check out this place all summer. I was finally able to persuade my non craft beer loving fiancé to join me on a warm weekday evening.
My favourite part about the beer garden is the location. The setting is casual, relaxing, close to the water and in a prime spot for people watching. If my dog didn’t feel the need to greet every person he passes with hugs and licks, he could join me here for a cold one, as they are dog friendly.
I forget what I ordered but I know it was an IPA, perhaps by North Brewing, but I am not positive about that. It was exactly what I wanted, I have yet to meet an IPA I didn’t like. The staff were helpful when recommending a lighter tasting beer for my fiancé. In typical beer garden fashion, the drinks are served in plastic glasses, which I really dislike. I also didn’t think my beer was as cold as it could have been.
For those who lack the good taste and refinement to drink beer, they offer wine amd Bullwark cider as well.
There is a small snack menu, consisting of hot dogs, sausages and maybe a few other things. I didn’t get anything as I found all of this ridicuously over priced. I don’t care how local, organic or fresh something is, I will never pay nine dollars for a sausage.
All in all I am a fan. The beer is tasty and the atmosphere is refreshing. I’ll make sure I wander down at least one more time this summer.

Excellent addition to the waterfront — this casual beer garden on the board walk serves terrific local micro-​brews. Dog-​friendly. My only kvetch: the minimal food menu — sausage on a bun and the like — is over-​priced. But nice job overall.

I am jumping on this bandwagon. Don’t let the lack of Unilocal reviews fool you, this place is a happening spot! Everyone and their dog wants to try Stillwells Beer Garden out, and I can see why. It’s right on the waterfront and like the name suggest is completely a beer garden. All outside seating, picnic table style right in the boardwalk. They serve a variety of craft beer as well as, some food options out of a converted cargo container. I went with the classic hot dog and a boxing rock brew.

A cool spot for beer and snacks right on the water. The day was a bit gloomy when we went, but it wasn’t too chilly and the views are still nice. They have plentiful picnic table/​bench seating and the large multilevel deck is nice. They have a good selection of local beers and snacks. I had the Bulwark cider which was nice and refreshing and had a crisp apple taste. They do well with rotating out the beers to keep them fresh. The bartender was nice and helpful with describing the beer profiles. The pretzel was nicely salted and they have a yummy assortment of dipping sauces to choose from. One drawback is that they only have port a potties there. Also, according to the bar tenders, they don’t have a great way of communicating if it will be open or closed due to weather. All in all, a nice beer garden and good place to hang out with a group of friends. It would be cool if they brought outdoors games here, such as corn hole.
