4.4 (81)Once an 1899 cattle pound, this restored complex pairs open courtyards with craft beer, indie shops, and local bites.
Description
Originally constructed in Brighton for the Metropolitan District Commission, the property operates as a community hub anchored by craft producers like Notch Brewing. Visitors can settle across open grounds and indoor seating, pairing draft pours with shop bites or choosing to bring your own food. The grounds feature a few specific quirks—such as designated separate zones to consume beer versus wine—and while the campus is family-friendly by day, some businesses become 21+ at 8pm.
