The Bottle Shop is great, because you can grab a pint and chill out for one, away from the bustle of the rest of the Temple. Super comfy lounge outside the shop! It's relaxing It's like a mini-pub no one knows about. A dozen or so taps, wine available. Not many people know but Elks Temple Brewery are masters of flavorful, NE (hazy) IPAs. You don't find many masters of that style (Structures, Modern Times, Holy Mountain, and getting there Cloudburst.) Always one very good NE IPA is on tap here. The beer lineup always has solid brews and Mcmenamins ciders are nice as well. You can assemble your own four pack to go, fill growlers, and the cozy, retro Pacific theme seating out front is nice and quiet usually, but also lively on Fri/Sat nights! You can knock on the brewery door and ask for a tour or just talk to the brewer if he is in. And of course the gift shop is there with lots of interesting things... Staff are great too! (。•̀ᴗ-)و ̑̑✧
This place never disappoints. It was packed, so we waited over 2 hours for a table. Then we waited another 40 ish minutes for our food to arrive. The waiter dropped our food, so it was a bit of another wait. So, 5 hours in total. Im not really complaining, but be prepared for some waiting.
