Great spot with a lot going on.
Large, diverse tap list is certainly appreciated. IPAs, Belgian styles, dark beers, all represented here and all done well. Pints and flights both available. Food menu seemed to be pretty robust, and though I just had some fries, they were very good. The place is also massive so youre not gonna have trouble finding a table or barstool here even during busier times.

Can’t say enough good things about Clocktown. The food and beer are absolutely top notch. The staff is incredibly accommodating and friendly. The aesthetics are perfect and really tie everything together. Bring a friend and check them out!

After tasting a sample of one of their beers at Hawk Ridge winery yesterday we had to stop in at the brewery to have more. Did not disappoint. Food and service were also top notch.

Enjoyed a cranberry whiskey sour and tomato/mozz salad for dinner with a friend last night. Happy to finally see some gluten free options like salads on the menu. The band that was playing, Act2, was SO good! Would definitely come back the next time they play.
