The Rake at Admiral Maltings

Excellent food, friendly service and of course great beers. Really nice staff, they let me plug in my electric scooter! Pulled pork plate was very good!

Went back a couple weeks later for the tour, very cool! You gotta check it out.

Great selection of food and beverage for every palate. The pretzel was great! 🥨
They’re dog friendly too. 🐶

Mixed feelings about The Rake at Admiral Maltings. Let's do the positives first.

- Great selection of beer
- Extremely warm and helpful staff
- Nice overall vibe to relax with a few friends and lots of drinks

Now for the negatives...well, there was only one negative albeit a rather large one. Their BBQ is awful. Not one single BBQ order was decent. The salads were better than the meat, and the tater tots were decent, but we didn't finish any of the plates we ordered.

I would recommend eating somewhere else and then coming here for drinks.

I would return for the beer but not the food. The tater tots were not crispy or hot and tasted as though they were made hours ahead of time. Also ordered the brisket sandwich which came with chips and a pickle. The brisket was tender but didn’t taste like it was seasoned at all. The sandwich had spinach, red onion, peppers, an orange sauce and was a bit odd. The flavors didn’t go well with the brisket and left me wishing there was barbecue sauce and a more traditional BBQ flavor profile.

The service was friendly, prompt and welcoming.

Loved the atmosphere, plenty of outdoor seating at colorful picnic tables and a fair amount of indoor seating as well. We arrived on a Sunday around 3pm, lots of places to sit.

Kid friendly, there were lots of families with babies or school age children.

I was very exciting about this place, and I love to support local business. The staffs are friendly and giving us a beer sample, and I can test the freshness of the beer. One of the biggest con are the foods, normally the brewery should have delivery a great food goes along with the great 🍺 beer. I order pull pork sandwich and tater tots, and tater tots is not crispy at all, tastes like it’s soaked in the water. I had to return it. The staff is nice enough to let us return it.

Again, come here for good beer, but make sure you had a decent food before you come.
