A recent brewpub addition by an ex Flying Dog staffer. Come for the beer, which is excellent. The food is distinctly an afterthought. Great atmosphere usually.

We love everything to do with the Naked Olive.
A young family opened an olive oil store in Berkeley Springs - and it is wonderful! They now have an adjacent lounge bar. Well run, friendly and with great food. Definately worth a visit. Don’t forget to get some olive oil!
