Local Flavor – Area Businesses We Enjoyed & Recommend
• Immersion Brewing, 550 SW Industrial Way. This unique brewery allows you to brew your own beer or enjoy one of their well-crafted beers. They also offer a choice of creative and delicious fare for your dining experience.
• Sunriver Brewing — Galveston Pub, 1005 NW Galveston Ave. We were disappointed that Oblivion Brewing closed down but pleasantly surprised when we learn that Sunriver Brewing opened a second location here. Lots of vegetarian choices on the menu. Their veggie burger with a house-made falafel patty is outstanding.
