Even though everyone in the place knew it was a dead-end for them, the atmosphere was still fantastic. Unfortunately, they are now closed and out of business.

My waitress was friendly and helpful, and she didn’t seem bothered when we mentioned our Yelp check-in discount. Initially, I planned to just get a flight of beers, but we ended up ordering some tater tots as well. As for the beer flight, it was quite good—I'd give it 4.5 stars, with my favorite being the Herding Kats Double IPA. It was incredibly tasty and didn’t feel like a double IPA at all. The tater tots, however, deserve a 3-star rating. The red onions weren’t cooked, which made them a bit strong for my taste, and they could have used more cheese. Overall, they were just okay. I would definitely return to Wicks. The service was excellent, the prices were reasonable, and the beers were fantastic!

We inquired about sampling some of the beers, but her response was rude; she simply offered us a small splash. I found this behavior quite strange for a brewery. We decided to order both sour beers on the menu along with the carnitas and barbacoa tacos. While the sour beers weren't exceptional, they were still enjoyable. The tacos were reasonably priced and decent. Overall, I cannot recommend this place.

The potatoe skins and pepperoni flat bread pizza were delicious. The waitress was attentive and able to answer our questions.

Being a long time taco fan, I was a very happy camper : We tasted several of their delicious brews by ordering a couple of flights. We also took advantage of one of their Taco Tuesday specials to get some bargain priced taco orders mine were barbacoa, chicken, and carnitas SOOO good! Over and above Taco Tuesday, Wicks has a number of intriguing sounding events on the calendar coming up, and there was quite a crowd there when we left. I look forward to returning.
