Stopped in here during a night of brewery hoping in Debuque. I was thrilled with all the sours they had on tap. Even tho it was a bit busy the bartender poured me a sample of 4 sours before I decided on Punchy the clown. Then I had Purple Reign. It's 6.4%, the way a craft sour should be...Tiny bit sweet and pucker sour. And it's not to far from several other breweries. I'll be back!

Atmosphere = ***** Service = **** Menu = **** Value = **** A big group of people here for a baseball tournament (shocking I'm sure) and this was one of the places the team found for dinner between games. I actually sampled some of their beer at my VRBO and liked the beer. I tried a few other beers while dinning and liked them all enough to purchase some to take home. Menu was good, typical and nothing really unique. Service was good, not outstanding. Quality was good, nothing amazing. Atmosphere was great. Seating outside, lots of inside seating with a big table to fit 20 people which was pretty cool. I had the brisket chili and it was good. The brisket chunks were a bit overcooked and dry. Location is great, near the area that has lots of restaurants (I believe a revitalized area). Ample parking. Overall, I liked the place and would come back when I get back to Dubuque.

We were camping nearby and wanted to try a local dog friendly brewery. We decided on 7 Hills Brewing since it was near the river and I'm so glad we did. The food, beer, and server were all great. My husband had the Lobster Mac and said "this is the best thing I've eaten in a while". I had the Risk it for the Brisket and it was delicious. My only criticism of the outside seating is the flies wanted to share my meal. I might recommend they add fly fans to the tables. Thanks to Justin, our server, for the suggestions and the excellent service.

Food was very solid, pulled pork was actually well cooked,juicy. The pork on it's own needed no assistance from sauce or cheese, so kudos on that. That being said, beer cheese and sauces were quite good. Wish the Carolina sauce had more spice/kick. The merry berry wrap was incredible super good balance of fresh and savory; the sauce that goes with it was the star, sweet, tangy, slight spice really good. The fries looked incredible, and were good, but they were way over salted. It looked like they had seasoned salt and pretzel salt on them? Which after awhile was too much and became kinda inedible. Beer was kinda mid, enjoyed some nothing really stuck out. For beer I think Dubuque has much better places imo, but for food and drink 100% solid place would return for sure.

We planned to ski for two days while in Galena only to realize shortly before our trip that the mountain was only open one of the days. With a free day, we decided to explore the area a bit and headed into Dubuque. My family came to Dubuque as a kid and the only things I remember are: the funicular, Timmerman's, and the time my blanket got left at home and I was inconsolable. We loved the area 7 Hills is in, a cool repurposed industrial area with several breweries, bars and restaurants. We chose 7 Hills for two reasons - the proximity to Galena and the food and beer menu. The brewery in a factory building with lots of exposed brick and high ceilings. There's a stage, a merch store, tables and sizeable bar. We popped in for dinner and to try some of their beers. I like that their beers are offered in multiple sizes - 5oz, 9oz, and 16oz if I recall correctly. They have varieties for pretty much every beer palate. I tried their recently released sour and their hard ginger beer. Our food was pretty good too. I opted for the shrimp tacos and husband one of the burgers. They offer an impossible option on their burgers, which makes it a pretty accessible menu. Overall, we were plans and would come back if we're in the area.

We stopped in for a small meal & drinks after checking out the local farmers' market while passing through town. The inside has neat vibes, a drink menu to suit anyone & many food options. We tried a sour they have on tap, a blueberry lemonade for drinks & decided on a light salad for dinner. The sour was good, pretty basic for sours. Good flavor & I enjoyed it. Although the blueberry lemonade seemed to be lacking the lemonade. Tasted like straight blueberry vodka & water, but with a bitter finish. We excitingly waited for our salad, added Salmon as we were splitting & wanted that extra protein. The salmon was an extra $6, as you can see in the photo, it's definitely not worth it. The waitress was absolutely amazing though & got us another piece. I think it was a fun place & and I will definitely be back to try more. Some plates that went by us looked amazing!

7 Hills was a great spot to stop for good beer and food. Nice, laid back ambience. It's a big place with plenty of seating and stage for live music. Service was very friendly and staff made some good recommendations. Be sure to hit happy hour for 1/2 price drafts. I am more of a wheat beer person and 7 Hills offered two options while I was here- both good. A "bananas" which tasted like a traditional Hefeweizen and a citrus which was equally good. I tried the pretzel bites with beer cheese and didn't like the pretzel bites (smoked in butter) nor the beer cheese which I though fairly tasteless. Lots of other options and would steer you to something else. I had the brisket as my entree and loved it. A full pound of meat so come really hungry or order to potentially share. Served trimmed and smoked perfectly. Bbq sauce had two options. Both good but I preferred the sweet versus the Carolina, the latter I thought a little bland. My friend had the brisket chili and loved it. Would definitely recommend.

3.75* (out of 5) Food: 4* Atmosphere: 4* Value: 4* Service: 3* 06/05/2023 I've been here a few times on business trips but just finally posting some pictures along with my review. I've enjoyed sampling different beers on each visit and have also had food on at least one other occasion. Our table started with Hangry Sprouts, Curb Your Enthusiasm cheese curds and Zeit Bites (pretzel bread bites) - all of which were above average bar food (sorry, no pictures of them). For my meal, I ordered the Carolina Burger (see picture) with Sweet Potato Fries. While it was above average overall (especially the fries), I found the pulled pork on the burger to be quite dry. Another person at the table ordered the Lobster Mac & Cheese (see picture) and thought it tasted good - had just hoped there would be more lobster in it. If you are stopping by to try their beers, this is definitely a great stop and if you decide to add food to your stop, you can expect better than average appetizers and entrees.
