    Blaring Motown music. Minimal wine pours. "Coq au vin" that was nothing more than a chicken breast covered in sauce. Two tables that arrived after us were served before we were. Never again.

    Excellent service and carefully curated dishes! Not what I expected from a brewery but a pleasant surprise! Sat in the lounge to end the night listening to a great jazz trio! Great evening out!

    If you are going to this location expecting it to be similar to the old New Hope (or even the previous Princeton location), prepare to be surprised. The food was delicious and the service was excellent, but not the same vibe at all. Feels way more fine dining than a brewery experience.

    Thank you for the kind words about the food and service, and for sharing your thoughts on the new Princeton location. Our two-floor concept is designed to offer two distinct experiences under one roof. Next time, we’d love for you to check out Der Keller downstairs for a more casual brewery atmosphere. We hope to see you again!

    Setting, food, drinks and service were all fantastic. Server helped make the birthday girl feel special too! Will definitely go back. The bar and lounge area look chic as well. And the decor was brilliantly done. Modern yet elegantly retained some of the old charm from the post office days.

    Our waitress could not have been more accommodating as we sorted out our mocktail selection! Lovely dinner, excellent dessert and no rush.
