Notes

Visited: January 14, 1996

Opened: 1994

Annual Production: 3,000 bbl

Contributor: Siegfried Binge

Pretty standard Gordon Biersch format, with fantastic island specialties from the kitchen. Nice big place, right by the passenger ship docks. A controlling interest in the company was sold to a Las Vegas casino in November 1995...the new team opened Barley's Casino and Brewing in Henderson NV in early 1996.
