Buoy Beer Co. Taproom

Super cool tap and tasting room where it is encouraged to sit wherever you please indoors or outdoors, with whatever drink you order and any grub you get from the vendors. I am a gin lover and was able to sample the Painted Lady gin after trying a cocktail featuring it. So good I had to buy a bottle. The pil and cream ale were refreshing and dry as well. Kudos to the bartender! Stop by whether alone or with a group for a good drink and bite.

Great cocktails and the beer is amazing. Especially enjoyed the coastal sour and retro IPA. Staff helpful. Only note is the music is so loud it’s hard to order or have a conversation.

Very cool place, great beers, the guys behind the counter were knowledgeable and friendly! The outdoor seating is great and dog friendly so our pup got to enjoy a few treats as well! Three food trucks made for a good food selection for a late lunch, got a burger from Central Smash, it was on point!

My boyfriend and I stopped here over the weekend after his birthday lunch, and we had a fantastic time. The beer (and wine) was great, and the atmosphere and service were, too. The drinks were very reasonably priced as well. Great location on the water, we sat in rocking chairs by the water while enjoying our last drinks. We’ll definitely be back!

Buoy has positioned itself to compete with Deschutes on the grocery store shelf. The beer is reliable, while there is nothing particularly interesting about it. So goes it for their distillery -- passable gins and whiskeys, but nothing to write home about. The cocktails here are made to highlight their spirits, and unfortunately they fall flat in the pursuit of giving those spirits an exclusive stage. All of that said I recommend a visit here, primarily to sit on the patio and order from one of the carts, I recommend the Reel Al Dente cart for super fresh fish and chips and pasta. Good drink d
