Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales Kitchen

I recently visited this new brewery location and it was a great stop after a local bike ride. They offer a variety of beers and delicious pizza. I definitely plan on returning for more. The beers were flavorful and served ice cold. However, there was a strong sewer smell outside at our table, which the staff explained was part of the brewing process. Unfortunately, this unpleasant smell detracted from the otherwise pleasant atmosphere of the beautiful patio in front of the building.

The food here is incredible and sourced locally. There is a wide selection of delicious beers to choose from. The atmosphere and surroundings are superb, and there is also plenty of outdoor seating available on the patio.

This is not a place that will be accommodating of large groups. The beer garden used to be a wonderful place to bring kids! But not anymore and we are so sad about it since we came with our little kids all the time. We wanted to seat four adults and four toddlers, but the host was adamant that they could not join two four tops as it was against policy even though many such tables were empty. That seemed strange so we just grabbed two extra chairs and squeezed into a four top. No big deal right?? Wrong. When we tried to order, we learned that the host had shut off our QR code making it impossible to order without any notice whatsoever (really fun with four hungry toddlers). My husband returned the chairs and ate on his knees, which the staff apparently thought was fine. Again we used to love this place but probably will never go again with guests. So sad.

Guys, you need to figure out if you are family friendly or not. We love love to come here with our kids to get a beer and pizza. The outside area is chill for this. They seemed family friendly. Well they aren't. They have a fountain (which after tonight now finally has a sign on it to not touch it after I told them to put one up!!! with handles that totally invites little kids to come look at it and touch the taps. We were a large group and yelled at by an older lady and a younger server who is usually nice to our family to not touch it it's a water feature. They could have easily said it in a nice way but they were so completely foul about it.The older lady with the bob who works here yells or snaps at my kids every time they come and they are playing on any rocks outside. Seriously people put up some signs. We are happy to help our kids follow expectations if they are clearly stated I don't want my kids running wild but they weren't and still got yelled at. They constantly clear your table outside when you come with kids to try and get you to leave faster. They rolled their eyes on any kids playing in the giant walk through barrels they have outside. So don't let the laid back nature of this place fool you. They hate kids and will go out of their way to make it known they hate kids being there with sighs and eye rolling.Used to love coming here, now I'll think twice we didn't feel welcome at all and it seems portly run with no clear management.

My family and I visited Jolly Pumpkin for the first time last week and were left feeling very disappointed. We met up with another family, including their three kids, and sat outside next to a beer keg water feature with working taps. Our two daughters and their three kids were immediately drawn to the water feature, but due to poor impulse control associated with Down syndrome, it was difficult for them to stay away. Despite our efforts to keep them from touching it too much, one of the kids from another table ended up playing with the taps. A server walked by and scolded our kids and us rather rudely for playing with the water feature. We suggested that clear signage would have been helpful to prevent this situation and that rude behavior was not necessary. Unfortunately, every staff member we encountered from that point on was unfriendly and confrontational. The service was very poor, and even though we had already tipped 20% due to the QR ordering and payment system, we were left unimpressed. The pizza was decent, but overall, I would not recommend this restaurant.
