Wingwalker Brewery

Fantastic craft beer! Wood Fire Pizza made from fresh ingredients, perfectly baked! Dave and his staff are friendly and inviting and they have wonderful events so don't forget to check out their website! If you need anything or have questions, Dave is happy to help! Definitely a place we will return to.

Had one of the best times at this brewery. Quality brews with some of the best chats around. Got to sample some brews in process and got to warm up from the night chill. It was the last place on my brew tour but certainly was a case of saving the best for last. Highly recommend it. Be sure to try the mule brews when you get a chance. Worth it.

David and Laura are fantastic! Living the beer dream! Their beers are delicious and they have an interesting story as to why they are here! Enjoy a beer on an aircraft wing, marvel at the artwork around the space and enjoy the best juniper based farmhouse saison (called Aegir in the Desert) that I’ve tasted coast to coast!) #whovians you need to be here! 😊

One of my regular haunts just to chill or have a few drinks with friends. The pizza is also awesome, so sad to see this place close... going to miss it. If you have the chance, stop by for the farewell party Saturday night 12/30.

Great beer, great pizza, great music, and a staff that makes you feel like you are at home. I'm not kidding. It's even big enough that you can bring a well-behaved dog. I have a friend that can never see shows because of two Irish setters. But here we could have a great time together, dogs and all.

Great selection of different styles of beer & the owner is very knowledgeable and helpful in choosing a beer that suits your tastes & cravings.

Walked in around 8pm last night. They had live music going and a solid crowd. The customer service was fantastic. They were friendly and I took a 4 pack home because the Twin Tail Demon was amazing! I'll definitely be back soon! Cheers! 🍻

Awesome beer. Great Hef and the people there are servants. Polite, real and hospitable. They will make sure you’re happy. Friend didn’t like the seltzer and they brought out something else for her at no charge. Definitely a Gem of Monrovia! Coming back for more beer soon

We where there for a Yelp event and it was great to visit a new place . The beers where good and I liked the michelada the best good flavors and good pour. The host was helpful and cordial, we like the place and the decoration was great. Clean and great music along with table games to enjoy the cozy atmosphere.

First impression was horrible. The owner was unwelcoming. Very blasé with his attitude as we walked in. My husband tried to make conversation since we were the only ones there but nothing. Just muttered a few things and that was it. Beer was okay. Had their son of agave hazy ipa but had no desire to have more or have any other beers. Food was just okay. We got the veggie pizza and it was decent. Nothing to rave about. Large outdoor space but nothing special. They market it as family friendly but there's uneven turf, cigarette buds/trash near their space. Had to keep my toddler from falling every few feet. The owner's attitude is enough for us not to come back.

This brewery was a hit amongst my friends. I however only had a root beer float which was delicious! They use virgils root beer so you can't go wrong with that. All my friends loved the beer selection and even got a 4pack to take home. I was able to try the stone/wood? fired pizza and got a sausage, pepper, and onion. The crust and dough was good and the toppings were alright. They had fairy lights strung all around outside and a couple of heaters. I think they need more outside because there's only two in the entire beer garden area.

Not gonna lie I didn't have the best expectations because someone told me it was the worst off in comparison to its next door neighbor, Over Town Brewing. However, I think they're both decent micro breweries. The staff at Wingwalker are very friendly and are what you expect of a small business- personable and genuine. The beers are pretty good (of course dependent on your preferences). They have a non alcoholic menu in case you or your pals aren't drinking. They offer homemade pizza which is always a plus.

Fun little brewery to go to on a Sunday. Pizza and beer are simple and good. They have games you can play outside or inside. Very chill environment. Give it a try!

I LOVE this place! Went last night with some friends and there was a good band outside on a huge covered patio. The ales and lagers are different from the usual brewpubs. Quite Good! The place is clean and has friendly employees and owner. THIS IS A HIDDEN GEM! Live music Thurs -Sunday! They make fresh pizza too. Simple menu. The location is a bit off the beaten track and a few blocks from the bustle of the Myrtle Ave scene, but I think that's the charm. They have games and puzzles, frisbee golf, MUSIC and good beers! There's another brewpub next door too. Don't let the quiet street deter you. It's a cool place!

A nice selection of beers - I think my favorite is the Hipster Hades, which has both interesting complexity and a smooth taste. I believe that I also liked Persephone's Virtue, but I don't think it was available the last time that I visited. The pizza is also a nice complement to the brews. My favorite pizza is the Moroccan Spice Special, but the 5 Cheese is also solid! If the timing is right, then live music on a cool night is great atmosphere!

Wingwalker Brewery definitely has the potential to become an underrated neighborhood gem. There's also another brewery right next door, making it perfect for an afternoon of brewery-hopping. When we visited last week though, there were very few patrons and a lot of the beers on tap tasted stale - this may have been because it was end of the year or the holidays so I'd love to come back during the summer and give them another try.

Loved this place. The stout that has hazelnuts is out of this world. It's a stout but not heavy If you closed your eyes you not suspect is was a stout. It's creamy slight sweet with strong hints of cocoa and chocolate. The coffee not is hidden way in the back. Enjoyed the Hefeweizen as well. Overall a nice laid back vibe. Will return again with more people and explore the rest of the beer list.

Absolutely loved our axe throwing party. The space is great with indoor and outdoor seating. The music and live music were both great! The owner and his wife are wonderfully entertaining. The pizza oven and style of pizza are so good we kept ordering. All the beers are enjoyable.

My friends and I visited the Wingwalker Brewery on a Friday night around 6pm and it was pretty quiet and empty. It has ample space (especially outside) which is nice, but the ambiance was a bit underwhelming and it felt more like a local spot than a place for newcomers looking to mingle with other people. The brewery is located on a side street and is a bit tucked away, which may explain the lack of customers. Pretty good experience overall though! Beer was good and the woman serving us was friendly and pleasant.

Mid beer, no ac, and this man was very rude. One extra star for the live music. Go next door or try out Hop Secret instead.

(Tookout 08/29/20 SA @ 12:00pm): These beers had some wings! Thanks to a Groupon offer, I got introduced to Wingwalker Brewing nestled in the foothills of the sleepy town of Monrovia. I'd never heard of them and was doing takeout service during these COVID-19 times, so I purposely adjusted my schedule to be at their business shortly after they opened on this fateful day. I loved beer and was always willing to give any brewery a shot and was somewhat along one of my driving paths. I purchased various beers they currently brewed for an in-home tasting https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=rbPitGsmV74NRMFl-6iN9g&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Here were the results: PURCHASE Agave Hazy Session IPA 16oz Can 4.8% ABV ($4.50): Hazy yellow color, bready aroma, low body, slight bitter citrus hoppy juicy flavor, dry finish, slight bitter hoppy aftertaste - an easy drink like a Corona https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=3sSqnd-Vifjy2-rfPaQJ4g&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Revenge Of The Night Witches Barrel-Aged DBIPA 16oz Can 7.6% ABV ($5.00): Dark chocolate color, coffee hoppy raspberry aroma, medium body, bitter sweet coffee raspberry flavor, lasting finish, slight numbing burnt coffee raspberry aftertaste - more burnt than chocolate https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=35J-ystmGtOXFNUXJMiFnA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Aeronaut California Common Ale 16oz Can 4.6% ABV ($5.00): Dark hazy amber caramel color, soft malt hops aroma, low body, malt slight bitter hops flavor, mouthy finish, minimal malt aftertaste - wasn't loving the hops https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=qyjFJgWwVUXd0kSQNpZmCA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Aviatrix Barrel-Aged California Common 16oz Can 4.6% ABV ($6.00): Dark hazy amber caramel color, burnt coconut caramel malt aroma, medium body, caramel malt oak flavor, mouthy finish, faint caramel malt aftertaste - caramel was good https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=cseeT426aMgzc9jizdTBEQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Erika The Hungry Red Ale 16oz Can 4.6% ABV ($6.00): Bourbon red color, caramel hoppy malt aroma, medium body, slight bitter caramel malt flavor, clean finish, faint caramel malt aftertaste - would be great with fish & chips https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=qA1T3CWEY9i_OrhAIGm0mw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Mango Passionfruit Equipment Failure Fruited Sour Ryle Ale 22oz Bottle 4.3% ABV ($8.00): Dark hazy red grape color, light rye papaya aroma, low body, slight sour papaya flavor, juicy finish, light carbonation rye aftertaste - this mango lover approved https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=KCoF-9b8x_smPXhE2ZSAKw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! SERVICE During these COVID-19 times, they accepted online orders for delivery and pick up, but thankfully they also accepted walk-ins. I was greeted by the owner who gave me a quick rundown of the beers and the brewery... and his disgruntledness about breweries not allowed to fully open up (I agreed with him). He easily went to a refrigerated cooler to gather my selections, gave a complementary pint glass, and quickly sent me on my way to imbibe at home - cheers! PARKING (FREE) I parked in their small private lot. Otherwise, there were plenty of spots along the main drag of Maple Ave. - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE In an industrial part of town, their brewery was a simple construction-site makeshift office building. Once inside, the bar was along one wall while the rest of the layout was devoted to wooden communal benches and tables. Minimal if anything covered the walls. Minimal natural lighting came through the front door (unsure if the place opened up more for lighting) while standard electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. I didn't see any TVs but rock music played in the background. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I was always happy to be introduced to a new craft brewery such as Wingwalker Brewing and support them as much as possible. Generally-speaking, I enjoyed their beers and would love to try those I didn't next time although none truly stood out for me. The graphics on the cans were nice, too. The place seemed more like an old neighborhood watering hole which I was fine with as long the brews were tasty. I was unsure about the food situation once things returned to "normal" but imagined they had daily food trucks. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $35.00 BEFORE any discounts/tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

Hidden neighborhood gem - Awesome brewery with unique brews and artisan pizza!!!! Check out the calendar for awesome meetups and live events.

I was invited over last year for a disc golf putting league on Thursday nights. Due to the shorter days. I believe it's still happening. But what got me to keep coming back was the pizza and beer Thursday special. $25 gets you a personal wood fired pizza and 2 pints of beer. That is a great deal. The interior has comfortable seating and the exterior has plenty of picnic bench as well as bar height seating. It is dog friendly. There's plenty of choices for beer. And in my opinion a pleasant range of flavors. There hasn't been a beer on the list that I didn't like. The staff is very helpful if you are having trouble deciding. Not far off the Main Street and accessible from the freeway right off of Myrtle. And did I mention they have Hard seltzers? All the flavors are homemade. Give them a shot.

We love this brewery. Having been to every similar small brewery in the area, they also have the best beers. Staff is attentive and charming. Regular activities nights - paint and pint, open comedy mics, great bands - the place is a must visit in the area.

Awesome spot to hang out and enjoy great beer and pizza! Owner was on site and very attentive to our needs. New favorite spot!

Support local microbreweries! We stopped by after checking out Over Town, and was able to get a drink in before they closed. Wing walker is a larger spot with a patio area. I liked their variety and they had plenty of board games to choose from. I got a flight to try a variety of their beers. This is the first time I've ever tried SiChuan spicy beer (peppercorn spicy). Really unique , although I don't know if I'd get it again. My favorite was, of course, their "boot are made for wingwalking" IPA. Trimotor Triple IPA was strong, a little too much for me. We stayed until closing at 11pm. Happy to see more microbreweries popping up. Will return.

A+, great service, pizza, and beer. Staff were super welcoming to our toddler and pup. Very kid friendly

Went there for the first and last time. The owner seemed very irritated, and was rude. I had thought that maybe it was just an off night for the guy, until I read reviews of people who have had similar experiences. I did not try the food, but my friend said it was good. To each his own on the actual alcohol. No matter how good the product, I won't support it if it is owned by someone who doesn't seem to have respect for their very own guests. If you choose to go, I hope you have a better experience...if not, walk over to the brewery next door. Also, street parking is hard go get there ...unless it was just a really busy night.

Felt very special im sorry i did not stop sooner hit the spot will be back really soon

Wingwalker is one of the few Monrovia breweries. Only came upon it because I saw the Groupon deal. You get a flight, pint, and take home glass with the deal. Small brewery with inside and outside patio seating. Small parking lot. Good beer draft list. Lost of choices. They have games to play. Kid friendly. Beers are $6 for pints. Flights are $8. Good new brewery to check out if you live in the area.

Swung by a few times before catching a film or after dinner in downtown Monrovia, I'm finding myself a returning fan of this new brewery in SGV. The atmosphere is laid-back yet nerdy with a dose of rock music blasting thru the day. Generally, I like to work my way up to a dark beer, but I'm ready for the nitro stouts here any time of the day. The Charon's Quaff is teeming with a milky flavour that leaves a sweet afterness. The Hades' Plight is a fantastic digestif to complement your dessert from the nearby bakery. I haven't tried the ales and lagers, but my friends definitely enjoyed them. Owner David was really welcoming and nice, bringing a fresh bowl of water for my puppy hanging out with me. The service was really attentive, and the staff gives generous pours to regulars and newcomers alike. On a hot summer day, you'll definitely enjoy sipping on a refreshing, local brew here!

This is a great little brewery! Lots of interesting craft beers on tap and very tasty custom-made pizza. Very reasonable prices. You can get the beer in a variety of sizes so it's very easy to sample quite a few. Flights are available. They also have great live entertainment and events like painting your pet. And axe-throwing! Come check it out. There is street parking readily available.

1. Howl of Cerberus - super light brown, slight sweet 10/10 2. Short 330 - super light brown 10/10 3. Physics effect - festbier / marsen - not sure about this one. It's traditional German. It's got a lot of flavor and medium body. 7/10 4. El jugo hazy - wow! Nice and refreshing IPA 9/10. Dicey and goth in Monrovia. Nice staff and actually good beers. $6 for 16 oz. cool art displayed.

A great new brewery located in Monrovia; just a few minutes away from Old Town Monrovia, and conveniently located next to Overtown Brewing. I'd been meaning to check this place out and was glad to finally have the opportunity to swing by one Saturday evening. The place is small and intimate with a few board games for guests' enjoyment. I was personally a huge fan of the brews here. They're definitely more my style - AKA not too hoppy. They had some really cool costumes and set design-ish elements here, so we couldn't help but ask a few questions about it to the person at the register. It turns out, the owner's wife is a costume designer and created some of the awesome pieces here! Definitely a great conversation starter. I look forward to seeing the community grow with businesses such as this in the neighborhood!

A nice new brewery in Monrovia which now makes for a nice 1-2 punch with Overtown Brewery being right next door. Wingwalker is a cozy sized brewery with a good seating set up of picnic style benches inside & a nice outside patio area. They have a few TVs inside, along with some board games to keep you entertained, & and area outside for food vendors. The beers they have hit the spot, my friends and I split our taster flights so we could try just about everything they had. The Demeter's Dream brown ale was hands down my favorite with the Writers Block blonde ale coming in 2nd. The El Jugo IPA was solid, good aroma & taste without being too bitter or overly. With the selections here I think they have something for just about any beer drinker, and if not you can walk about 75 feet next door & give Overtown a shot too.

Great beer, great pizza, great people! We stopped here completely at random when we had in the area for a local errand. They're also into distilling, talk to the people in charge!

Spent a Sunday afternoon here with family and friends. We enjoyed Celtic music and the pizza was very good...soft but thin crust with great toppings and not all sauce. I'm not a beer drinker but if you are they certainly offer anything you could want. Highly recommend Wing walker.

This place was awesome. A hidden gem. It has comfortable seating and a cool interior. Their drinks are awesome and the staff is great / friendly. The owner who I met was super nice and always made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. I will deff come back. They have Nani activities to enjoy that are hosted through out the week. Pizza is also good!

So we found this place through Yelp! and it is a pretty nice place. Lots of tables in the area with games and plenty to do for entertainment. It was pretty cool that they had a sign that allows you to bring in or call in food so of course we ordered Monrovia Pizza Co around the corner. A lunch truck showed up too for a short while and their food was great, according to the people in my group. As for the beers, the selection is still building. I am a huge fan of red and brown ales but their choices are limited, especially in the reds. I did have the Altbier [Romancing the Stone] and it was pretty good but my son had the Physic Phest and it was really good. He also had a Hef that was OK and I am not typically an IPA guy but I did taste and have a Zero Turbulance and it was very good. I may have to start tasting some new IPA's. The service is very good and the workers are all very attentive and nice. If I have one complaint it was that we had to leave during half time of the USA vs Curacao soccer game because of the heat. There are vents everywhere so I am surprised this place was not cooled down.

Hands down pizza is sooo good woodfired with great combos! Pesto and sausage yummy! Very customer service oriented! Great people skills!

Had some real fun throwing axes at Wingwalker! We celebrated our anniversary here, as wanted to do something unusual and fun. Love the ample outdoor area. Would be good for group gatherings as well. While we're not alcohol drinkers, they had some delicious ginger beer and a custom-made Italian soda bar which we loved. The owner was lovely and personable, and let us play a few extra rounds with the axes after giving us a thorough lesson. Really enjoyed it!

This place is so awesome! You can tell that Dave the owner really cares about his customers. He makes his rounds to make sure everyone is having a good time, and taken care of. The crew here is also excellent, they are very helpful as well. The beer is tasty, the pizza is delicious, and the vibes are excellent. The live music was really good too! If you have a chance, check out this place, you won't be disappointed. We googled breweries in Monrovia, this is where we ended up at, my wife and I had an excellent experience here, check it out!

I have now lived in Monrovia for over a year and half, and as much as I wanted to love this place it's very hard when the service is not great, and awkward at times. The brewery has a great concept... Outdoor/indoor seating, games, social events, but the service is just not the best. The owner takes great pride in his brewery and makes it known.. But very awkwardly. He comes across as rude and judgemental. Every time I come here, and I try my best to love the experience and what it offers, but the owner just makes the experience not worth coming back to. Biggest complaint is the owner and lack of being able to Socialize and customer service. If you are here, hop over to overtown brewery. The owners are amazing and very welcoming and friendly.

Great place to grab a beer or hard seltzer. Live music on Sunday's and tasty wood fire pizza.

Brought my SIL and nephew to show off our beautiful town of Monrovia and our cute little breweries. Unfortunately, this place was not welcoming. The girl taking our drink order was not friendly then she wrote a note on a paper and some large man in a red shirt came and basically rushed us out and was not friendly. Not sure why. Maybe she thought we were stealing stickers because the menu for the Asian BBQ was covering the price for the stickers. Once he rudely said "Are you going to pay for those" We said of course and paid gor them. My hard seltzer was served warm. They were much more friendly to everyone else just not us. Unfortunate. Mt. Lowe was a much better experience.

This place has the best of everything for my taste. Great beer, good pizza, and disc golf putting baskets!!! Give it a shot.

I recently visited this brewery because a friends band was playing that night. Outside of the music, I wish that I could say it was a good experience. The Good: The owner makes a great attempt at providing a lot of different beers and wood fired pizza options. The place was very clean and had great areas to sit and socialize. The pizza smelled amazing and I wish I had just grabbed a pizza instead of beer. The beer prices were fair at an average of $7-9 for a pint. The band audio setup provided by the owner was very good. The not so good: I recently visited this brewery because a friends band was playing that night. Outside of the music, I wish that I could say it was a good experience. The Good: The owner makes a great attempt at providing a lot of different beers and wood fired pizza options. The place was very clean and had great areas to sit and socialize. The pizza smelled amazing and I wish I had just grabbed a pizza instead of beer. The beer prices were fair at an average of $7-9 for a pint. The band audio setup provided by the owner was very good. The not so good: The beers are not amazing. I have tasted thousands of styles of beer including a Vienna Lager, but the Vienna Lager that they had on tap tasted off and was heavy on a Belgium yeast sweet flavor instead of a "light and airy, slightly sweet, easy to drink with no overpowering notes" lager. The other issue was that the ABV was not accurate. It had a alcoholic nose and after just that beer I had a bit of a feeling of it being a lot stronger than roughly 4% that they claimed. The tasting room was a bit of a mixed bag. The theme seems to be related to airplanes, but there were a lot of off the wall things that look like they were randomly placed there as if it was just storage inside of the tasting room. That extremely diluted the airplane theme. The person who was pouring beers was nice but made no attempt at selling a beer or providing conversation. The owner was on site doing pizzas and would off and on interact but came across as not in a good mood or just really tired of doing what he was doing. The little conversation that I was able to get in dealt more of an argument than a conversation.. Overall I cannot provide my recommendation and I will not be returning.

I've been here a couple of times, I like that it's right next door to Overtown so you can act like you're brewery hopping. The couple of times I went, the air conditioner hadn't been up and running yet. It was HOT. We were told that they'd have it going soon. Good variety of beers, staff is friendly, and there's plenty of seating.

I had a sampler flight and every option tasted like water (or worse). What a waste. Also the bands they have nightly are loud and out of tune. Won't be back here as there are way better local options elsewhere.

I checked this place out because I read they have Brams French Pilsner, a delicious Monrovia-brewed beer. My friend got the/a hefeweizen, and loved it enough that that's what she gets on return visits. Excellent pizza, including a Morrocan one that's unique, if you love trying new pizza. I saw a jazz combo there that enhanced conversation, and a great acoustic duo who got our attention over conversation.

Grear, very relaxed and chill place to hang out, and the beer is unbelievably awesome.

The pizza is amazing! I also recommend the blood orange seltzer. They have a lot of gluten free options on the menu :) And the open mic comedy nights on Wednesdays are super fun! I highly recommend!

Tried out this brewery for the first time on a Saturday afternoon. Outdoor seating was comfortable and spotless. The beer menu was rock solid ranging from blondes, IPAs to porters. What blew me away was the additional menu showing that they serve shandys, the classic beer and lemonade. Owner David explained to me how much he loves shandys and is proud to serve them. It's small business like this one that makes me happy to support them. Give them a try. Ill be back.

Great selection of beers all around. The staff are extremely nice, and it is located next to Overtown for a mini brewery hopping experience. I am also a sucker for place who has the table top pocket-golf, connect 4, and monopoly deal. Hades' Plight - has a rich, coffee-Nutella aroma and extremely smooth mouthfeel. I am usually not a stout drinker due to my disinterest in the coffee forwardness, but this changed my mind; highly drinkable for stout greenhorns. Physics Phest - Medium body malt forward lager (Marzen) with a slight hoppy-ness that is very well balanced. I would choose this over their Grace O'Malley. This gave me that Oktoberfest feels. El Jugo - Light hazy IPA with a pretty good nose; slightly floral and sweet hoppy start with a strong hoppy-bitter finish. Solid.

The flights are the way to start. There is such an advanced flavor profile to what they have on tap that you must try a bit of everything before you choose your adventure. Their bar crew has great energy and will chat you up if you just want to start by telling them what type of beer person you are. David is a heck of a beer guru, always brewing with what I consider quite the eclectic select list of infusions. Cheers!

Cool brewery in Monrovia! It was part of the SGV Beer week where your first pint was $3! Got the Blue Skies Hefeweizen and it was nice and light. The brewery has interesting decor including an airplane wing, a funky chair among other things. There's snacks but no real food, but food is welcomed and you can even order food to be delivered to their place. Overall a cool spot to hang out in Monrovia.

Nice brew house to hang out in, partake in an epic game of Jenga, and have a few. The staff and owner were beyond friendly, offered great recommendations, and entertained our gamesmanship. be sure to check out the owners wife's custom made costumes. They are pretty damn cool!

This place reminds me of breweries in Northern Cal or Portland. Cute, clean, and surprisingly delicious brews. Favorites from my flight: Howl of Cerberus nitro, which has a split personality. Rich and chocolatey on the front end but picante on the backend. Really fun to drink! Barn Find lager: of course I'm partial to lagers, and this is incredibly refreshing and smooth. I could drink this all day long in the summer by the Bbq grill. Peat Monster experimental: "heavily peated malt with Goldings and Centennial hops. Dank and smokey." Smokey fo sho! That's the smokiest brew I've ever had. It's a slow sipper, but really unique. Anyplace my 10 yr old son is fully engaged by the carom board and I can sit and enjoy a few brews is worth it's weight in gold. Will definitely be back!
