EMPIRICAL TAPROOM
your best friend's basement
The Empirical Taproom consists of our main brewing space and a tasting taproom. We only serve the beer that we brew, and we always have a beer for every palate.
We're dog friendly all the time, and underage patron friendly until 8PM.
We welcome all outside food in the taproom, so come by, order a pizza or a burger, chat with our amazing bartenders and enjoy some brews!
Please note:
At this time, we are not able to accommodate private/semi private parties
in the taproom or on the patio.
Thanks for your understanding.
