Service was great. Avocado toast was amazing! We loved the beers as well and thought the “Say Yes” sour was worthy of taking a 4 pack home.

Stopped by Lua for dinner since it was a lovely evening and they were one of the only places that allow dogs on the patio. Our server, Annie, was attentive, helpful with choosing sours and very kind. The food was filling and very tasty and fresh. I don’t normally love croutons but these were fresh, salted and amazing. I couldn’t stop myself. Try the Ghost sour; feels like summer when we drank it!

Seems like a cool place! We came for the special of lobster rolls. Looks very pretty but unfortunately was bland and not worth the $30. Not staffed appropriately for this special event either. Took 20min just to get water. We will come back again when no specials are going on to give it another shot cause the regular menu sounds really good!

Came here after another brewery. Only had one beer and some soup, but all was good stuff. Lua is the name of the family dog. Love it

This place has great beer. Their selection of styles was right on point, especially since they have lots of onsite and to-go options. Staff were super friendly and their attentiveness was top notch. The food options were nice with large portions with great flavor. The atmosphere was very relaxed and definitely made this a favorite place to visit. Overall if your looking for great beer to drink now or later check this place out, but if your staying for a draft get the food you won’t be disappointed.

Beautiful spot with a nice patio, lots of inside seating, great service, full food menu, and delicious top ranked beers.

I had the chicken Caesar wrap with French fries that were perfection. Their hazy ipas are some of the best I’ve ever tried. They have 5oz sample sizes which are a great option plus they were generous with a small taste of their special selection stouts.

Loved the food, and the service was amazing. Every employee we spoke with was engaged and extremely attentive. Keep up the good work. Would not recommend the kimchi cheese steak sandwich greasy and very one note not in a pleasant way. Highly recommend the burger and caviar appetizer.

Phenomenal. Great service. Clean. Plenty of room. Food is next level and I found my new favorite sour in Candy Paint. I wish I could have it sent to me in Ohio.

The breakfast burrito absolutely hit the spot and my wife said the strawberry salad was the best she’s ever had.

Well. Done.

The Lua Smush Burger was incredibly tasty. Everything was fresh and cooked to order. The food was ready very quickly, too.
The beer is exceptional, and the service was friendly, welcoming, and helpful.
Come eat and drink here.

Great beers and bonus food was also exceptional (lunch special slaps)
Adrienne (hope I have her name right) was lovely and the rest of the staff were friendly and hard at work. Can’t wait to be back next time we’re in town!
