Great selection of beers and cocktails. A lot activities going on, evening events and weekends entertainment, music, corn hole. Service is good the can steer you to the right beer or the Red Barns has excellent cocktails.

This is my favorite brewery so far. The staff is very welcoming and the beer is delicious! My favorite one is the raspberry beer. Whenever a friend or family member comes to visit me I have to take them here. As a Hispanic I do feel awkward at times like everyone is starring at me, but the staff make me feel welcomed. The decorations are nice and make you feel like you are in the Wild West era. They have a lot of things planned throughout the week and I hope I can be there for an event some day! Everything is clean even the bathrooms. I like that it's a private bathroom and not stalls. There are plenty of seating but you have better luck sitting outside if you are handicap like me. There isn't too much normal table and chairs there. If I could I'd give this place a 4.5 stars

Going to this place made me think that what other cool places that I'm missing as well. Thanks to an event that I was here and it was great time. Easily could spend an entire afternoon. Absolutely chill staff and bbq truck outside besides plenty of parking is enough to welcome in. There is a hall for line dancing other than huge main sitting area. Looking forward to revisit.

We came upon this hidden gem to watch Lucha Libre being held on the property. This was a delightful afternoon of entertainment, good spirits and tasty noshes. The bartenders make cocktails from scratch and are delightful using the distillery's signature spirits. They had a cigar truck and good eats in the front parking lot. The place is a GEN X haven for country music and comedy nights. The wrestling had a dynamic crowd of people that were hilarious and robust with each comments. The wresting was entertaining and dynamic. Definitely on places to frequent.

It is hard finding a brewery that serves non carbonated options, and BNS does in the distillery aka the Red Barn. The go to is the XXX Old Fashion, pretty much an old fashion but better. Occasionally they have other drinks to try, but they do have a staple menu which does include a slushie type drink, and usually three specialty shots. The beer selection looks pretty good, but we never get any because of the carbonation. Service is relatively quick even on busy nights. They have a rotating activity for most nights. Fri/Sat are usually bands, Every other ish Tuesday is comedy, they have line dancing with an instructor, weekend events include various things like fundraisers for local places including school, wrestling, dog adoption, themed nights like Thrift Store Prom, or whatever they come up with. Dogs are welcomed. Inside and outside. They don't server their own food, at least not yet. But usually have a good vendor outside. It rotates between a small handful, that are just OK. They have outside seating, inside at the bar, sofas, tall tables, short tables, benches, etc. Pool table inside, and they put on sport games on the TV. They allow people to set up for little parties, with advance notice.

5 stars for clean inside . 5 stars for professional and polite staff. 5 stars for service. It's one of the only kid friendly places you can see live band . I been here a few times . I will recommend them. And yes I be back. I love the fan above. The dance floor has a cow skull on it. It was crowded on a Friday night. They had Green Beer for St. Patty's day. I do not drink, so my brother inlaw and sister do . They said it was very good . It was the birthday party for one of the band members, the drummer Dean Osuna. It was an amazing, fun time always with natural selection playing. They even have beer to go. Can even bring your owen food in.

This brewery really took me out of my comfort zone. My bubble was burst(ed?). I came here for a comedy show and...that's not the reason for the above statements. This brewery has a refreshingly different clientele than most. Gone are the beirdo work-from-home millenial hipsters strung out on milkshake IPAs...in their place are working-class GenXers quaffing classic beer styles. The whole place has a much more rural/blue collar vibe than 95+% of breweries I've been to. But, they still did have multiple IPAs on tap for insufferable beer nerds like myself! All were crisp, clean, and plenty hoppy. The comedy show and setup for it were also fantastic. I would come here all the time if I lived in the area, even if I'd be a minority.

This place is hoppin! Monday nights are a great night to come here and learn to line dance, or just watch all the beautiful people line dance. The crowd was mixed with young people and their parents ( I think) I know I look like someone's parent. My kid would never be seen with me here, but anyway. I had an imperial stout and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. I used to be a stout/porter/dark beer girl. Ok, I was a beer babe back in the day. But nowadays, I only drink tequila or seltzers for the carb savings. On this Monday, I chose to break my new pattern and enjoy one of my old favorites. The Imperial stout had good carbonation, was full flavored but not over powering or bitter. It was excellent if I might say. I saw that they have events every night of the week, and this place is very popular, trendy, and happening for a SANTEE establishment.

Local brewery and Distillery. Country themed with free line dancing lessons on Monday Nights. Each night they have different food trucks that come for food options. The beers are amazing and they offer growlers and cans to go. My favorites are the gunfighter which is a lighter beer and they have a raspberry beer that is kind of like a sour it's not sweet at all but lots of amazing flavor. Their distillery is phenomenal. If you like old fashions this is the play for you. They spoke the drink in front of you with red cherry wok, the smell and flavors are so next level you would think you are at a Michelin Star Restaurant. Live music on the weekends with great local bands and a big dance floor along with many tables to sit at.
