If you are looking for a place to host your next event, then check them out! My husband and I had our wedding reception at Union Kitchen and Tap in Encinitas in October. We were blown away by the service provided and fell in love with the atmosphere, the food, and the support from their staff. The staff totally killed it! Amazing food, personalized drinks that our guest LOVED and would not stop talking about, and let's not forget about the friendly service. Our wedding day could not have been possible without these guys. One of our favorite memories is watching the Union team members dancing, singing and having fun along with the 80's Flashpants band. A special shoutout to Amy, Union Kitchen and Taps event coordinator! Amy made the overwhelming process of wedding planning fun, easy and truly enjoyable. She is personable, down to earth, kind and radiated a calming presence that helped ease all the nerves that come along with a big event. Her knowledge and experience in the field shows and her passion for making our vision come to life was evident. She was extremely patient with us and took the time to understand our vision and then was able to execute it with such grace. Amy supported all of our menu changes and day of event schedule changes with ease. Anytime we had an idea, she made it happen.... no questions asked. She really went above and beyond to make this day perfect. We can't even begin to explain how blessed we were to have Amy be a part of our day! C&S Randolph

Well, it actually started with my dad getting me a homebrew kit, nothing fancy just some buckets and dry yeast, but that was all it took to get me hooked. After finishing school at the University of Southern Maine a college friend, knowing that Donovan was an avid homebrewer, told him he was starting a brewery. Donovan jumped at the chance to put his chemistry degree to use. The brewery was small, housed in an old garage that they had renovated. Enjoy our locally-sourced menu with a twist, a wide array of craft beers, and a full bar. Featuring daily specials, weekend brunch and a kids menu, Knotty Barrel is the perfect spot for any occasion. Indoor and patio seating available - bring your dog!
