Migration Brewing Co.

This is a great neighborhood pub. One can tell the beer is made with blood sweat and tears which makes it taste that much better. The patio is spacious but still has a community feel to it. The food is typical pub grub but very reasonably priced…and it tastes good! These guys really know how to create an atmosphere that makes you feel like you are chillin in your own backyard with your friends.
