Big Woods The Original

Indiana


It's hard to beat a set of Quaff ON! Brewing beer samples on Big Woods' porch on a bright fall day. The timber-framed building feels like a cozy cabin. Eight house brews are on tap, and burgers and pulled-pork nachos satisfy if hunger strikes, but most of the action has moved to Big Woods at Hard Truth Hills.

Family-friendly sibling eatery Big Woods Pizza sits across the alley.
