Tree Brewing Beer Institute

local tip

Tree Brewing's got serious seating flexibility—upstairs patio with tons of space, ground-level patio, and a solid bar where you can actually chat with bartenders like Megan and Owen who genuinely make you feel welcome. Weekday evenings are your sweet spot for a relaxed date (they sometimes have live saxophone music), while weekends get busier and better for group hangs; mornings are surprisingly chill if you're into early beers and breakfast. The self-service drink setup means you're never stuck waiting for a server, and they've got board games on hand, so it works great for a casual first date or low-key anniversary vibe. Just know that big sports events (like Olympic games) draw crowds, but the beer and wings are legitimately good enough to justify the trip any time.
