The Lodge Beer & Grill (Boca)
Anyone been to "The Lodge Beer and Grill in Boca Raton?
It looks to be a mecca for Craft beers with over 100.
The menu appears to be mostly burgers and sandwiches, but the burgers are 8 oz angus beef, fwiw.
One note I saw online said it's decorated like a Montana hunting lodge or something to that effect.
I may check it out this evening.

I have actually been here with my husband two times. We live in the area and have been waiting for this place to open. Really good bar food and really great beer according to my husband. I drink wine. And yes, it is like some type of ski or hunting lodge. Pretty funny seeing that in Boca. I enjoyed it.

OK thanks woolco.
The unusal interior idea sounds interesting... like when I go to the Blue Anchor in Delray, certainly doesn't seem like your in FL at all.
Now I def have to check it out.

Yes we love this place, the food is so good and ton of craft brews, they have Dogfish Head on draft which I love. The chipotle chicken nacho dish is insanely good as well. Took my mother and her bf there and 1st time I've ever seen her eat a whole burger and all fries before lol

I detest that place. The owner/manager Vadeem (sp?) was wasted when I went there. To the point where he was slurring and it took over an hour to get our food because he was also the "chef." I mentioned it to a few of my beer friends and they said they had similar experiences with him. The beer selection was decent but the decor remind me of someone's unfinished basement. I can name three waaaaaaaay better places to get great beer and food in the area. Brother Tuckers in Pompano. Really cool place with amazing food and belgian beer selection. Funky Buddha in Boca. Super laid back lounge with a ton of beers and probably the best tap selection I have ever seen. Plus they have entertainment some nights. Finally, Coffee District. A coffee shop in Delray Beach that has at least 80 craft beers. The owner Chung is a great guy and very knowledgeable. Go to any of those places and you won't be disappointed. Go to The Lodge if you want to hang out with underage fau kids being served and terrible customer service.

I had the same experience at the Lodge. Service was terrible and the owner was incoherent. I went back 2 other times and each time was even worse than the time before. The bartenders were all under 21 and had zero knowledge of any of the beers...they couldnt even pour a beer.

I will gladly second the recommendation for The Coffee District. Despite the name, it's perhaps the best craft beer place in southern Palm Beach County.
Chung and his partner Anna are fantastic hosts, and almost everyone is comfortable here whether you want great coffee shop treats, fabulous beer selection, even wine and small plates of apps and desserts.
There's a tv where sports junkies can sneak a peak at the big game, as well as live entertainment and/or open mics many evenings. On NE 2nd Ave in Delray (AKA Pineapple Grove to the south, AKA Seacrest Blvd to the north) just below Lake Ida Rd.
