This place is perfectly positioned as a trail stop for a late lunch or early dinner. Great food, nice beer choices, good vibes and excellent service. Also, when they say 'giant pretzel,' they mean it! Fun place that we will definitely return to.

Keri Sprenger

A really cool beer garden along the Cross Kirkland Corridor Trail on the Google campus! And they have a heated covered patio for those cold or rainy days.

Chris Pribbernow

I love the aesthetic of this place. They have really embraced the old (the railroad theme) and the new (biking!). The refurbished caboose is just awesome. I had the East Trail Ale and it was light but nice and hoppy- perfect for a sunny evening during a bike ride. Plus they gave me $1 off my beer because I had biked there!

Joel Wood

A great place for a mid ride beer and lunch! The Eastrail ale was delicious and benefits the trail. I'll be making this a regular stop on my gravel rides!
