Awesome little brewpub. Great food, service, & beer. Saw the beer on tap all over Chamonix. Was excited to find there was a pub too. It is worth the trip, especially if you like craft beer.

We dropped in here for apres ski beer and oh my was it good. Wide selection of self brewed beers but we couldn't beat the 6% neipa hazy IPA. An absolutely delicious pint.Didn't stay for food but it seemed popular.

Perfect place to go for a beer with friends after a day in the mountains 🍻 The stout is my favourite, but the rye IPA is wonderful too! Insanely good views of Mt Blanc from the terrace.

Love this bar! Beer is excellent, tasty food and nice ambience. Pet friendly🤍 Couple of years ago it was on the central street with the small place inside but now they moved a bit farther in the bigger room.
