F.A.Q.s

Are pets allowed?

We can't have pets stay with us, but there are several options for boarding you dog. About 15 minutes to the North in Dodgeville there is the "Best Friends Kennel". Phone: 608-935-7573. About 20 minutes towards Madison on Highway 18/151 is "Happy Trails". Phone 608-924-3647.

What is a Brewpub?

A "brewpub" is a restaurant which makes its own beer.

Does the "Bar" make alot of noise?

We are not a bar. We are first and foremost a restaurant that makes it own beer. With inn rooms above the restaurant we are concerned about noise and so take our last orders at 8:00 or 8:30 (on weekends) and are completely closed and locked up by 9:30 or 10:00. When we are open, you can hear some noises from below, but few people have found it objectionable.

What is there to do in Mineral Point?

It sort of depends on what you'd like to do and what time of the year you are coming. Check out some of the information in other places on our web site as well as visiting the Mineral Point Web site. Mineral Point itself is charming, with numerous small artisan galleries and other interesting shops. There are also the historic sites of Pendarvis, Orchard Lawn and the Railway Depot. Plus there are the attractions in surrounding areas, including Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesen and the American Players Theater in Spring Green, House on the Rock and Governor Dodge State Park just north of us and Little Norway and Cave of the Mounds only slightly further a field. Galena is less than an hour away as are Madison and Dubuque. If you like energetic biking, our county roads can't be beat. Or if you just like to look at bucolic country scenery drive some of our back roads. Of course Brewery Creek itself offers lots to do, including eating good food, drinking good beer and relaxing in your room.

Where did you get that Bar?

“Where did you get that bar?” is perhaps the question we hear most frequently. The answer? We got it from an antique dealer in Minneapolis after a search for an old bar that would fit into this space. It is less than 9' tall so it fits under the ceiling beam. It also looks good, so it’s back doing what it was originally intended to do! We hope you enjoy it. (When we get bored we make up stories of where it came from.... "It came over on the Titanic"... "I have a whole barn full of them"... "It was just left on the curb after one City Wide Garage Sale"... "From China, they're inflatable with a regular bicycle pump".... you get the idea)

Are you open all year?

Yes and yes! The restaurant has seasonal hours. November through May it is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday (excluding hholiday periods). Our lodging facilitiesa are open seven days a week all year long with some restrictions around holidays.
