Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
What can I say an about BattleMage. This place is for nerds, by Nerds. From life size DrizztD’urden overlooking the bar, to the many D&D deceased character sheet adorning their walls. This place rocks. Not only do the Beers have with names like Perception Czech and White Wolf IPA, but the brews are darn good. The white wolf in particular is an incredibly flavorful beer in all the right ways. Staff here is friendly. They sell small snacks like chocolate bars and bags of popcorn, but food is BYO for the most part. There’s seating for about 15-17 people in there. Wish they had a bigger space, but maybe in the future. My D&D group met up there for a game this past weekend and it was great. Reserve a table if you can because seating is scarce. Even the bathroom has nerdy accoutrements. They have a vip club you can join and get invited to events throughout the year as well. I’ll be back for sure BattleMage
This place is great, even if you're not a DND need, there are board games to curb that lively spirit. The ambience and beer which is 100% delicious is awesome. Add the low prices of $6 a punt who can beat that. It's a little out of the way but it's worth it. If you live board games or anything in that realm plus delicious tasting beer and a great staff wholly recommend this place.
What a VIBE! A lot of modern pubs go big with a large restaurant space and outdoor seating, but BattleMage offers a cozy tavern with intimate seating instead. Games, D&D rulebooks, and fantasy weapon decorations round out the taproom with friendly staff on hand. I highly recommend their Copper Dragon ESB!
This brewery is epic! Summon Ifrit is one of the best, if not the best amber I’ve ever tried. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, and the patrons at the bar are all wonderful people. If you like beer and you’re a D&D nerd (or even if you just like beer), definitely check this place out!
TL;DR: This is an amazing spot that's worth the trip whether you're local or just visiting town for a few days! The theme runs through everything there. The crowd is chill. The food trucks are always on point. Take on the gauntlet of tasting the entire beer menu if you're brave. Perfect spot to visit with a small group of close friends!
