Krug Park

Krug is one of only a few "swanky" bars in Benson (I love my non-swanky bars, just to be clear)The interior has large black leather booths and the giant ornate wooden bar, but those are about the only choices for seating, save one or two single tables at the front.There is an outdoor patio but I don't think I've seen a ton of people ever out there when I've been.The decor is upscale with the aforementioned leather booths, as well as hanging plants and industrial open ceilings. They have a literal bajillion taps, it can be a little overwhelming. And with all those taps, they don't really have many "lighter" beers if you're into that (which I usually am)!The service the last time I went was pretty good when I ordered my first beer but I popped back up to the bar to order something additional and stood there for about five minutes (with no one else in sight waiting to order), and was unfortunately never acknowledged at all, so just gave up and sipped on my water for the rest of the evening. If you're looking for an upscale "looking" place, a lot of choices for beer and drinks, and can handle so-so service, then Krug may work for you - it just isn't overall my cup of tea (or should I say, water!)

Such a cozy atmosphere. Ann is absolutely amazing, I feel so welcome with her. She even memorizes our drink orders! A Sunday tradition from here on out!

This is one of my favorite bars in Benson. The cocktails and beer never disappoint. The staff is also very friendly and attentive. It is a great place to chill, have some drinks, and chat with a close friend. This is a bar only. They do not serve any food. Which I don't mind.

Unfortunately Yelp defaults to giving this establishment 1 star, but if I had my choice, they wouldn't receive any! I have never been to an establishment where the waitstaff was so rude. A friend and I walked in, sat at the bar and ordered a drink and all of a sudden a waitress with long straight brown hair came up behind the bar and started complaining loudly about how she didn't receive a decent tip from a party she was servicing. My friend and I were shocked at how loud and rude she was and I said something to her about how we could hear her. She turned to me and yelled she was talking to her co-worker and not me. I said... you realize the whole bar can hear you and at that point, she became irate and shouted "get the fuck out" several times. She then took my $15 Bloody Mary that I hadn't even taken a sip of, and charged me for it as I had an open a tab. My friend and I chose to leave the bar because it became clear the waitress was out of control and we wanted no part of that. After that night, I called several times in an effort to speak to a manager and have received no response. Ultimately, I called my bank to dispute the charge, which has since been credited back to me. With that being said... I will never recommend this place to anyone..

My first place I ever tried a bloody mary many years ago, and the only one I will compare others too. They're known for this for a reason. So flavorful, and huge. My husband likes the beer selection, and it's definitely a fun spot go mid-day then walk around Benson.

Krug Park is a Benson staple. I love the small, neighborhood feel to it. They have some nice wooden booths but also some cute tables near the front window. Friendly folks, affordable drinks, loaded bloody Mary's, great beer selection. Recently tried some sort of lavender cider...very unique selections. They also have bit burger on tap, which I haven't seen since I was traveling in Germany. Give this place a try, you won't be sorry.

While looking for a place with Bloody Mary's I came across Krug Park.While Krug has several different options for bloody Mary's, the mix seems to be the same for all of the different options. Unfortunately, this means that none of them are very good because the mixture isn't very good. I will say that whatever beef jerky they use for the top of one of their Bloody Mary's was great! What Krug has going for them is the bartenders are pretty friendly and the place was clean. I really wish we could give them a better rating, but, when you're going specifically for something that they are supposed to specialize in, and it's not very good, the ratings have to be lower.Happy drinking Yelpers!

Super laid back old school bar, dark wood, and an impressive number of beers on tap. I loved the opportunity to try a variety of different beers and went with a full 5 tasting flight. The bartender was great in describing the different beers as well as letting me have tastes of a few varieties while I narrowed down the picks for my flight. Its located right on the "main drag" in Benson and parking is so easy. They don't really have a food menu, which was my only complaint. I think I'm used to places having to sell a minimum amount of food while they're selling drinks, but it just gave us an excuse to explore some other places afterwards.

This place has been around for a while now and I don't know why it's taken so long to review it. It's a unique atmosphere (as many places in Benson are). Their focal point: made to order Bloody Marys. The classic one is great but so are the more adventurous ones (Veggie or Bakon anyone?). You know they serve a lot of this drink because the wonderful scent of tomato juice and celery is welcoming as you walk in. Perhaps they should offer this as an aromatherapy plug in for the home. . . Never mind.Not a Bloody Mary fan? Not a problem! They have a LOT of choices when it comes to the brews. Refer to the oversized chalkboard or table menus. Let's just say it's full on variety; on tap, can or bottle. Can't decide? Well, the staff can assist on that. Whether it's a Pilsner, IPA, Belgian style, stout or seasonal, Krug Park has it covered.Not in the mood for a lager or tomato juice based drink? They have a selection of other libations, including higher end whisky. Case in point: Teeling whisky from Dublin. It's a micro distillery that's a step above your Jamesons of the world. Although if you're a Jameson fan, that's here too. A cocktail menu that changes occasionally is solid as well.

We had a delightful time at this inviting pub. Very comfortable with a professional, attentive bartender.We ordered old fashions which were perfectly made along with a delicious garnish. Brandied cherry with orange, always a favorite. Metal toothpick excellent detail. We also had a charcuterie board, veggie board and bread and hummus board. Beautifully presented and everything was very fresh. The hummus (which I assume flavors are seasonal) was a lovely suprise with a curry taste. The meats and cheeses were high quality and the price for quality was very fair. As an interior designer I would love to make some changes on the interior on this charming place but will not stop me from becoming a repeat customer.
