The Space
Modern furnishings and unobstructed views of the massive brushed metal fermenters and tuns in the brewery highlight the dining room and let you know what this place is all about — the beer. On warm days, the outdoor patio offers a great alternative to indoor dining.
The Food
It’s all about balance, and FiftyFifty treats beer like other restaurants treat wine — pairing brewswith dishes that compliment and contrast. Traditional pub food like burgers and chicken wings are staples for the hungry beer drinker, and upscale choices like the seared ahi orNew York strip are great for those looking for something more. A nice selection of appetizers, salads, pizzas and entrees round out the menu.
 The Drinks
Yeah, there is a comprehensive wine list and a fully stocked bar for your cocktail drinking pleasure, but to just sip on a gin and tonic is missing the point. The in-house brewery offers a spectrum of house-brewed beers from light to dark, with locally inspired names to boot.
Gotta Try
The house-rubbed BBQ baby back ribs paired with the brewery’s own Donner Party Porter fits the bill perfectly.
Price Range
Appetizers from $5 to $13, lunch and dinner entrees from $8 to $28.
Hours of Operation
Open from 11:30 a.m. to 2 a.m. seven days a week. Dinner available after 5 p.m. Call for live entertainment schedule.
Location
11197 Brockway Road, Truckee, California
