Most breweries tend to be a little bit different than restaurants, particularly if we’re talking about the outdoor area. You’re much more likely to see kids running around, dogs, etc. More of a “backyard bbq” atmosphere than a restaurant. And in many parts of the country, especially places with high numbers of tech jobs, you can’t swing a cat without hitting at least one brewery.

Yep, it's actually a criteria I look at when I choose a house/apartment. It's a nice "third space" where community events often happen, where you can meet new people (easier before COVID), and where it's easy to spend an afternoon working or reading. Kind of like a park but with dedicated food, drink, and bathrooms.
