Stopped in at Shire Tavern for dinner and ended up enjoyin it more than I expected. The place has a cozy feel, service was friendly, and the food came out hot and quick. I got a burger and some fries, both tasted fresh and cooked right. Prices were decent too. Good spot to grab a simple, tasty meal without any fuss

An extremely pleasant spot with elevated tavern food, and an excellent selection of beverages. The staff are warm and attentive, and the place is clearly loved by locals. We attended one of their trivia events and it was well organized and lots of fun! I would most recommend them as a place to visit with a group of friends for a lovely night out!

Drove half hour to this place, because of good reviews, the front door is awesome my son really appreciated it. However walking in was anything but nice fridged atmosphere here and fridged service. No one said hello, place was virtually empty on a Thursday at 6, walked across an empty dining room and sat at a high top. Didn’t look like anyone could be bothered, crossed over to a high top on the other side. A rude hostess abruptly came over and told us we weren’t allowed to sit there because a regular was coming in for trivia, AT 7! An hour away. ok I’ll go to another table, was taken to the very last table next to a coffee station in a virtually empty dinning room. Whatever I’ve worked in restaurants for over 30 years and I know rude service when I encounter it. Oh and the server didn’t even acknowledge us as he walked by dressed like a slob in wisking shorts and a tee shirt. Bye! I’ll spend my money elsewhere.

The Shire has it all and is, as they say, the real deal. Fantastic Food. Atmosphere. A stellar line of a variety of beer. Friendly staff. And an occasional open mic night to benefit charity.

The brewery and restaurant are located in the lower level of an old factory, called the Stationery building. There is plenty of parking behind the building. Entering through the large glass enclosed staircase head downstairs and through the carved door. A nice detail that would make Bilbo, Frodo, and JRR Tolkien proud.
The space is long and open. One never has the sense that we are on the lower level.
The tables and bench are made from the very wood that used to be part of the floor. And the long wooden bar comes from a tree harvest just a couple of miles away.
Details like these say a great deal about the care that must also go into the beer. And based on our tasting, we believe that this is true.
Although there are many beers and different varieties to choose from, we went with a flite of four IPA. And they were all exceptionally good. We even tried the double ipa with 8% alcohol and were surprised at how smooth and drinkable it, and all the beers are.
Defiance had a slight grapefruit taste
Joey sighting was nice and smooth
Rancor (the double ipa) had a grapefruit taste and was surprisingly drinkable most beers at 8% or above struggle to keep the flavor forward – and here rancor delivers where most other fail.
Space Turtles – great flavor with a slight effervescence – my favorite from this stellar sampling.

We opted for tacos, really delicious fish tacos that were accompanied by a slightly spicy sauce, as well as the vegan tacos that were flavorful as well.

Our only regret having visited the shire is that we live more than 100 miles away!

We had an amazing time here tonight. We were served directly by the head chef Matt who stuck around to swap stories. The food was excellent. The meal started with an awesome ceasar (homemade dressing) and smoked wings in just the right amount sauce (again house made, a very flavorful heat). I had a perfectly cooked, massive burger (chuck-sirloin blend, if I remember correctly) with caramelized onion, candied bacon, smoked gouda, and chipotle aioli. My partner had what she described as one of the best paellas she’s ever had. She also loved the sour from the connected brewery, and the IIPA I got was super good.

Overall highly recommend.
