5 stars is for the beer and the food - both of which are excellent. Little Juice and its big brother Big Juice are two of the most delicious IPAs Ive ever had the pleasure of drinking - both are super citrus and tropical juicy! Some of the negative reviews are for service, and on this point I agree. Three Magnets is a great place to grab beer and food when its quiet, but when its busy all hell breaks loose. Lots of employees standing around in confusion, and just a few people doing all the work. Seating is a free for all, and all food and beer must be ordered by standing in a line - which takes up to 30 minutes (yes, seriously). Other breweries are able to make this work much more smoothly, so I hope Three Magnets figures it out. As it is now, I wont visit on a Friday or Saturday night - which is a shame, because from a beer perspective, Three Magnets is one of the best breweries in the state.

Although I really like their beer my first visit for lunch was a huge (and I mean HUGE) disappointment. After ordering our drinks on their patio we asked our waiter for a moment to decide on our entrees. Fifteen minutes later my son had to get up to try and locate him. Amazingly, he found him at a table with a female customer, calmly eating his lunch! One of the bartenders had to come out and take our order. To add insult to injury it was another thirty minutes before our sandwiches arrived. They were decent but the fries were some of the worst that I have ever had. They were undercooked, cold and barely seasoned. As my son commented, this place is riding the wave of being trendy and hip but with their barely average food and abysmal service they wont last long. Do yourself a favor and spend your hard earned money somewhere else.

Meh Rain IPA is kinda thin. Big truck coffee stout is the same, and it was kind of too sweet. Ordered food and it was not hot, and was over sauced. The fries were good. Also whats with soccer only on the TV? It is the world series and some random soccer game is on. I belive Uganda was playing kerplachastan. The game ended in a tie after 90 minutes of nothimg happened. Baseball would have been way better. I had high hopes for this place only to have them smashed by hipster bullshit that is spreading at an alarming rate. I give it 1 star for not being Fishtail and 1 star for the French fries.

My puppy and I were kicked out because he was barking. Other guests and the wait staff were playing with him and got him riled up. Its not really a big deal that we got kicked out---it was disruptive so I understand. The way they went about it was totally inappropriate and embarrassing. To top it off, I couldnt even finish the beer that I paid for---I actually only had two sips. What makes matters worse is there were 3 or 4 loud, obnoxious kids that were ten times louder than my pup. Doesnt really seem fair that we got kicked out when we were only a small percentage of the unwelcome noise.

I went to Three Magnets when they first started. A new brewery in town and all they had as far as an IPA went was a beet IPA. I thought, you know if someone can make a great IPA with beets as a taste, thats a winning brewery! I kept going for a long time, took a break early 2015 and then went again summer 2015, it was never the same. Since then every time I go there they mix up the beer and give me something I didnt order, and/or take forever to get the beer to you. I finally have had enough when I went with my wife after our 4th encounter in a Rowe of getting awful service there.

The venue is really cool, very conducive for large groups and socializing. The atmosphere is welcoming and inviting. A nice neighborhood bar. The beer is good and tasty. The main problem on this day is the bartender was a complete jerk, very put off on the fact we ordered a flight. He was very dismissive of all of our questions on types of beer descriptions and generally just really seemed like he was pissed off at having to serve customers. They better get their act together. This place could be a shining star but on this night it was barley a dim flutter.

We have been stopping in regularly now for sometime and it is always a win. Good beer and good food. I think it is important to remember that the priority for this business is the beer and they do a great job. I am constantly impressed at the casual friendliness of the service staff. There always seems to be a new soup each time we go in there and we have not been disappointed. You can tell it is homemade and on a cool rainy day it hits the spot. We now take friends and family whenever they visit us to Three Magnets and it is always a good time. Please enjoy.

Unbelievably poor service! Ive been to 3 Magnets more than once and had similarly slow service but most recent was the deal breaker. After waiting several minutes behind a gentleman to order a beer, was then ignored for several more minutes by the servers behind the counter. Not even eye contact. When I asked if I was standing at the right place I was told yes but take a seat and someone would get to me. so I did: at a different pub.

Beers are okay, I enjoy the ciders they have on guest tap. Food is sometimes good... they make menu changes a lot, and Im guessing theyre still trying to find their groove. I was told at my last visit that I couldnt trade sauces on my burger because of "the way they are prepared." However, I was allowed to order my burger without sauce. So... who knows what that means! Give this place a try. Im hoping they improve over time.

Slightly larger than your average brewery with a nice (but small) patio with outdoor seating. Service is sassy but in a friendly way, I dug it. Tried out a flight of beers and overall it was great - but pretty inconsistent. Some I loved, some I didnt. They have fully embraced the Haze Craze and put out some good canned stuff. Id definitely come back if I had the chance.

Their San>Sea Double IPA was ok. We also tried a dark beer (not made by them) that was ok as well. They have 2 entrances. If you see no one around, or cooks staring at you, just keep walking and youll find the bar. The interior design of the bar area is great and enjoyable. Good atmosphere. We didnt try their food but I may have to go again to try other beers and food.

Good service, did have to order drinks in line but the server came to our table table a few times to see about more drinks or food. I brought the wife and kid while walking around downtown, needing a cold one in this 90° heat. The Woofers Table Beer was very refreshing but the English Summer Ale unfortunately was flat. Ill probably come back.

Food is good, beer is pretty good. My only gripe is when the staff decides they want to go home they start cleaning and putting up all the chairs. Makes one feel unwelcome, bad business practice. Leave patrons to linger and spend money? Isnt that a good idea? Or post that you close at 9 rather that not posting hours and shoeing people out...
