Great tasting beer, fantastic environment, and friendly staff. We had the cream ale and the chili beer and it was so good we got a second round and traded beers. There's pinball and a lot of places to sit including two outdoor areas. We will definitely be back

Nice taproom here despite being in a strip mall. Good crowd here when we went on a Monday evening. First beer I had was off cask which I was excited about, but it had a couple obvious off-flavors that left me really disappointed. Tried a couple others though, which were both very drinkable. Service was fine. Nice outdoor area. No food while I was there but apparently they have food trucks some nights. Overall decent little spot that I'll check out again if I'm in the area.

Locavore has a great atmosphere. It is kind of hidden within a strip mall but do not let that deter you. They have an excellent beer selection and a full menu provided by a nearby restaurant. The food was excellent and served promptly. There is a beer garden in the back and outside seating in the front. If you're in the area or you're looking for a new brewery to check out, it's worth a visit.

Good beer, pinball machines play very well. Just know that there is no food. Staff is VERY regular oriented so as a noob to the place you may feel like your not welcome. Staff says they don't accept VISA gift cards... So not sure about that b.s. since VISA doesn't charge differently but maybe they had some scams happen?!? Not sure. Also no ATM so get cash if you want to play pinball I'm before going. Staff said it was too expensive to get a machine.. um... Apparently owner doesn't want to buy one or use a service (which he would get a transaction fee for every use but I digress. BBQ next door is also very very good
