FAQ

You have questions, we have answers…

Do you allow kids?

Yes, we have an all-ages section, so you can bring your family with you to The Bistro & Beer Garden year-round. Our expansive outdoor beer garden, when it’s open, is also family-friendly.

How about dogs?

We allow service animals, but since we’re a restaurant, no pets inside or on the patio.

Can I reserve space for a group?

Yes. Please visit our Groups page to inquire about groups of 8+.

Can I get an order to pick up and take with me?

Yes. You can now place an order and pay for it online.

What about outdoor seating?

We have a great outdoor, covered & heated beer garden that seats around 70.

Do you fill growlers?

You can get almost all of our beers in growlers to go. We’ll gladly fill your existing growler, as long as it’s clean. Sometimes special releases or high-alcohol beers are served by the glass only. We don’t fill growlers of guest beers or cider.

Where are you?

We’re in Downtown Kent, just south of Kent Station. The building is called “The Terminal” and we have our own parking lot, along with street parking.
