Ridge Brewing - Maple Ridge

Finally a place with 10 unique beers, not 4 ipas, 4 sours, and 2 darks.

The beer and cider are so good! But we couldn’t get past the staff singing Celine Dion and other sappy songs like it was karaoke night. It totally ruined the vibe for us. We’ve tried 3 times because the set up is cool and rustic, and the drinks are good… but they just don’t create an atmosphere that is inviting for chilling with a drink after the work week :

Vibe is good, beer is not as crispy as I expected (maybe not cool enough)

The beer is good, the atmosphere is pleasant, and both the clientele and staff seem friendly. However, the main issue during my three visits was the bartender playing and singing loudly and off-key to their own music. Whether with a microphone or not, the singing was so loud that it made it difficult to have a conversation. This happened during all three visits, which I find unacceptable. If there is going to be music, it should be enjoyable for the patrons, not overshadowed by a poorly sung love song. Despite the proximity to my house, I will not be returning to this restaurant. I am willing to travel farther in search of a more enjoyable atmosphere.

I had a breakdown in front of this restaurant one day, but once I fixed my truck, I decided to go inside for a beer. I have never felt so welcomed by both the staff and other customers at any other place. They treated me like a friend and now I feel like I am part of their family. This place is incredible, with delicious beer and the most inviting atmosphere you could ask for. I genuinely adore this establishment.
