If you really want to tell if a place is dirty or just disorganized, visit the restroom. They are clean at Sun Valley, or at least they were when I was there. That gets them two stars.
I think they are just disorganized, and dont really know what they want to be.
The food was, eh. Â I had the Ruben, wife had the Turkey sandwich. Â Her sandwich was ok, but nothing outstanding. Â The ruben had potential, but the bread was somewhat burned.
The beer was really what I came to try. The Cranky IPA is ok. Â But honestly, it wouldn't stand a chance against a really good IPA, say Ballast Point, or Russian River, but not bad. Â It tasted a little stale. Â That floral aroma of hops was totally lacking.
The Scotch Ale was tolerable, if a little wierd. Â Its described as "smoky" and it was that. In fact, all I tasted was smoke.
The Pine Top Pale was horrid. Â It literally tasted stale, like dust. Â It had no other flavor. Â I didn't even drink it, just tasted, and left the rest in the glass.
Not my top pick, considering other options available in the area.
Four of us came in for lunch - we didn't sample the beer. Â Our lunches were great, each ordered a different item. Â Salads were great as were the sandwiches. Â The soup was excellent.
The food was four stars. Â Here's the list that caused me to dock one star. Â First, the carpet needed to be vacuumed and the carpet itself was filthy. Â The carpet on a stair tread was thread-bare and ready to trip a customer. Â The whole interior needs some TLC. There were chairs with vinyl upholstery split, walls needing paint touch up. Â There was an old round tube CRT television in the bar plus stained ceiling tiles (probably from a roof leak). Â The service was slow and there were very few employees working.
Is business bad? Â OR, don't the owners/managers care?
My wife and I went here for Lunch. Â The Pine Top pale ale was one of the better beers that I have had. Â I tasted the IPA and it was pretty good too. Â My wife had the Blonde Lager and she enjoyed it. Â The beer is brewed on site and very fresh tasting with no off flavors. Â Â Â The food was average to good, but nothing spectacular. Â The bartender was very helpful. Â We had some driving questions about how to get to McCall, he pulled out his iphone and looked up the directions and road conditions for us and also gave us some suggestions on scenic detours. Â
The bar had it's share of local characters. Â We overheard a conversation that was between a **really** drunk local and was directed some out of towers. Â Even though it was freezing out, the local invited the out of towers to his property "any time" to go fishing. Â They were tolerating and him nicely and he was a very happy drunk! Â It was a funny conversation to overhear! Â We would definitely go back if we were back in Hailey!
We didn't try the food, but the Colorado Chili special sounded good.
The Blonde Pilsner was a good example of a pilsner, but there wasn't much distinctive about it. Â The Apple Beer was pretty interesting, but was begging for some sweetness. Â The bartender, who also came to take our order next to the fireplace, said that he'd rather do a hard cider if he had a vintner's license; we agreed. Â The Honey Weizen (9+% ABV!) was pretty unique, but I'm not sure I'd order it again. Â To their credit, the bartender proactively gave us samples of the apple beer and Honey Weizen before giving us a full pint, because he knew they weren't everyone's cup of tea. Â The stout (can't remember the name) was quite good.
The ambiance was great; it seemed like there were a lot of locals who knew one another there, and the fireplace would be great for apres-ski.
Showed up on a Saturday afternoon at 12:30 for lunch. Place was dead. Â Staff was put out we were there. Â Asked to sit outside. Was told we would have to order at the bar because the staff couldn't take the order outside. Â Food wasn't that great for the "only brew pub in Sun Valley". Â Burger tasted like a frozen patty. Â Beer was OK, would have thought my tap beer was a Bud Light had I not seen the bar tender pour it. Â Must have been there on a bad day, better off going to the deli or pizza place across the street, if not for the wait staff.
Review Source:We came here on a Saturday afternoon and the place was horrible. Â The wait staff was not attentive and acted like we were an inconvenience. Â The food was horrible, it seemed like everything was cooked in the microwave, I had a quesadilla and it came out soggy and limp, yuck!
The only thing that was good was the beer, but it was not anything to get excited about.
Will never come back here.
Ah, the Brewery. Â This place is a mainstay in Hailey. Â One of the two bars that I know of. Â I grew up in Hailey and whenever I'm in town I make a point of stopping by here.
The decor is simple and welcoming. Â It feels a lot like a lodge, especially with the fire place. Â Service is friendly enough and they get your food out to you in good time. Â I've only had to send a dish back once in over 7 years of eating there.
Their chicken wings are to die for, I am convinced they need to bottle and sell their in-house BBQ sauce as I've yet to find one that is better. Â The bartenders know how to make any drink I've ever asked for, so no complaints there. Â They've even gone as far to brew me a fresh pot of coffee at 9pm when I asked for an Irish Coffee.
As a final plus, they haven't raised their prices for as far as I can remember. Â In the hyper-inflated bastion that is Blaine County, you have to respect their integrity and commitment to the customers.
So I happened upon this place on an overnight. I love brewpubs so I had to give it a go. My partner and I had already eaten dinner so we didn't get a chance to sample the food (FWIW, it smelled really good). We did have a few of their brews.
I enjoy IPAs so I started with their Roundhouse IPA, which I really enjoyed. Pretty hoppy but not over the top. I also tried the White Cloud Ale which is an amber english ale. It was a lot smoother that the IPA (of course) but reasonably tasty.
The place was pretty crowded for a Monday. and the live music was pretty good. The staff was also very friendly.
I can't wait to come back and try their food.
This place is a joke. The waitress brought food at random times at a table of 4. Â On top of that she took plates that were half finished in front of you without asking. On TOP of all that she charged 20% gratuity on a table of 4!!!!! You have to be kidding me! The 2 of the plates brought out were cold from sitting in the kitchen while she was drinking her beer. The beer was great (octoberfest brew) and glasses cold, but I would rather slap my testicles against a behive than come back to this place again. Once we questioned the waitress she started screaming at which point we left. Â Never go here!!!
Review Source:Stopped here to grab some lunch... food was okay... had to eat healthy, so I went with the Chinese Chicken Salad... took some issue with the salad itself. Â The Salad had those tiny, weird corns and the flavor didn't really mesh with the ginger dressing or the mandarin oranges. Â Minus the freakishly tiny corns, the salad would have been much better. Â Definitely a step above typical bar food, would rather come back at a different time to have a burger and a beer.
Review Source:Well this is one of my haunts while in the Spun Valley. The beers they brew are good. I like the Blonde personally. ]
Its a good place to get a "six dollar" burger from an actual restaurant. The Angus Burger is better than a jarls jr one.
Good atmosphere, great helpful and friendly staff. They let me put Roxanne just outside the outside eating area. They offered to bring Roxanne water.
Sun Valley ale is smooth and fresh. Could rival any of the popular micro brews that have gone national. Food is a cut above "bar food" and offers a wide array of treats. Went crazy with the chicken pot pie and wasn't disappointed. They brought me a slice of birthday cake although it was NOT my B-day. Thanks foo's.
Review Source:I have been to Sun Valley Brewing Company many times and have always found their service to be very pleasant and efficient. The beers are always exceptional, and I usually try to do a sampler platter when I am remaining overnight.
The food is slightly above average, I have always been satisfied. The atmosphere is laid-back (much more so that that other city up the street.) I will continue to frequent this place while remaining overnight.
i was starving when i finally got out of the client and decided to mosey over to the sun valley brewing company for a nice relaxation beer, football, and hopefully some good food. everyone was pretty friendly and i didnt get that whole "ooo youre from out of town, you weirdo" vibe from them which was rather nice. i had a blonde pilsner which was super tasty and the bartender was mr happy. i liked him. he was fast/efficient/giving me alcohol. i had the mediterranean salad.. i must say this is where the -1 comes in. i've never... in a million years... had a mediterranean salad that had grapes, pine nuts, and whole cloves or garlic in it. what in the hell. it was the weirdest thing ive ever experienced. i ate it because i was hungry and well.. i had a beer to finish. i think i'll just stick with the alcohol. :)
