Second Street Brewery On The Railyard

The atmosphere is definitely welcoming for locals. It felt like friends were reconnecting in a relaxed setting. We tried both the cherry cider and the IPA, and both drinks were bursting with flavor! We also ordered the chips with tomatillo salsa, which was a big hit! The chips are light and made in-house, and while the salsa is thin, it’s rich in taste—just not spicy. Our server was very attentive to all our needs while still giving us the space we wanted.

I visited this restaurant for the first time and ordered the fish and chips. The fish was coated in a light beer batter and cooked to a perfect golden brown. It was crunchy on the outside and flaky on the inside. The chips were definitely hand-cut, well-cooked, and seasoned just right. I really enjoyed the coleslaw; it wasn't heavy with mayo, which was a nice touch. I also tried an EXB bitter brew, which was excellent! Our server was prompt and friendly. Overall, this place is a must-visit!

Regarding the beer, their milk stout doesn't quite live up to its name—it's just a regular stout, though it's quite decent. It’s not heavy on the hops and avoids a burnt flavor, but I think it could benefit from a bit more malt to enhance its complexity. As for the fish and chips, the fish tasted like typical frozen fish, though thankfully not freezer burned. The chips were better. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the staff and servers were mostly local and Mexican. We tried every beer available during our visit, and while they were all definitely above average, they just didn't impress us enough to warrant a return trip.

Stopped in for a beer and an appetizer. Had the tator tots with red chile sauce. Very good and highly recommended. Great bar food option with the perfect amount of spice.

Nice beer, decent food, pleasant patio, friendly service. And, there is something oddly magical about the Railyard ambience...
