Was Violette Smitham at Lua Brewing a mag?
Probably the yummiest drink options I've ever encountered. The Bobbi Girl and the Smush are a must have if you are a fruity beer and/or seltzer person. The staff went above and beyond, even offering to bring me a crowler from their fridge because I wouldn't shut up about the Bobbi girl...but yes...it's that good. View all feedback.

What Marit Ivory dislikes about Lua Brewing:
The service at this restaurant was terrible. Two groups of people walked out while waiting to be seated, and we had to wait a long time to be served. Some customers even left because the wait was too long. Additionally, the bathroom was poorly maintained with no toilet paper and a clogged toilet in one of the stalls. However, the beer was delicious and they had a nice outdoor patio. View all feedback.

The atmosphere at this restaurant is excellent. The staff is friendly and attentive, and they offer a great selection of beers on tap. We tried the double IPA and triple IPA, both of which were excellent and well-balanced. The burgers were delicious, although they were slightly on the salty side if I had to find a fault.

Great Brewery with plenty of beer options. Full food menu as well. Stopped in the afternoon on a Monday and was greeted with great service and plenty of beer options.

The service was excellent, the food was fantastic, and the beers were outstanding. We visited Lua with a friend and enjoyed a wonderful time on their lovely outdoor patio. If outdoor dining isn't your preference, their indoor seating is also very comfortable. We ordered the carnitas nachos, tofu bites, grilled zucchini, chicken Caesar wrap with chili, and shared the pineapple pannacotta made with coconut milk. Everything was delicious! We also had the opportunity to try a variety of beers, all of which were fantastic. I would suggest creating your own flight to sample them all.
