Great choices of brews non alcoholic brews as well. Brian Allie were very knowledgeable bartenders could guide us through the many options.

I love the atmosphere and assortment of beer here! A great place to come play games and trivia, grab a beer and study, or just grab some beers for home! The beertenders are so friendly and have great recommendations for whatever beer you're looking for! GO TO GARTH'S FOR A GOOD TIME :

Passing through the neighborhood. Monroe street changes so often. this was a nice find. crew know their beers. had just a few moments to enjoy a beer on errands. recommend Sahale ale Works and Garth’s Brew bar Picture of a picture Helles lager collaboration and it was on par with my request. A light menu of heavy snacks available. Crowlers of taps, and various cans available. PS Trivia on Tuesdays.

The passion for beer that runs through this place is palpable. When you enter from Monroe St. you are greeted with the bright and social interior with a modern, cozy aesthetic. To your right will be a stunning array of cans for you to browse. Ahead of you is the counter to pay for your drinks or order something on tap. I guarantee that whoever takes your order will be immensely knowledgeable about the beers on offer as well as being enthusiastic and kind. Once you have your drink of choice, grab a seat at a table and the rest of your experience can begin. The air around you will be abuzz with conversation and connections. The tables allow for medium to large groups to sit at and they fill up. There are games for you to play and I cannot recommend Spot It highly enough. Garth’s creates an environment where you can earnestly connect with others and revel in the company. The music they play is also incredible. While there, I heard one of my favorites, Sammy Rae The Friends, and it made the experience even better. The owner, Garth, is a Cicerone (sommelier of the beer world) who is not only knowledgeable, but overjoyed and friendly as well. The team he has built around him shares an excitement for beer and the community that brings and they work to share their joy with you. Throughout the pandemic they held virtual beer tastings where Garth took you through the tasting experience and gave you a glimpse of his expertise. If you enjoy beer, go to Garth’s and you’ll find new levels to discover.

We were able to do a private tasting at Garth’s Brew Bar recently and absolutely loved it. Garth broke down and explained all aspects of brewing, tasting, and the business of beer as we worked our way through the selections he picked for us. All in all very enjoyable and will definitely be back. Outside of the tasting the space is great, convenient, and cozy perfect for board games with friends or trying some great beer available from the cooler or the tap. Absolutely a must for people that enjoy beer on any level.
