I was there last weekend.  First time at one.  The place was pretty full and every time I drive by, the lot is full.  My take on the ambiance...  Very nice in terms of building and grounds and very, very, large.  I am not a fan of the mall-like atmosphere... almost food court-ish even though their food menu is mostly pizza.   It was cafeteria style as well for beer and food (lines can be long).  Seemed a bit sterile and the first thing you walk in to is their gift shop...   like going to or exiting and amusement park/zoo.  Oddly, lots of children there.   I only had one beer. It was an Imperial Stout called "Half Truth".   I have been into bourbon barrel stouts lately.  I wasn't a fan of this one.  Very chocolately and not in a subtle way.  More like they poured chocolate flavoring in.   With that said, I have a BIL that absolutely dies for this place.   He drinks almost exclusively IPAs and as an aside, loves Disney World (has gone twice/year for the last 20 years).  So I can see why he might like the environment more than I.

In contrast...

The week before, we went to the Paradox Brewery in North Hudson.  This was more what I like.  The beer was great.  I like lagers too and they had some nice ones as well as two different Belgiums I really liked (and brought some home).   They had a full menu there and table service.   I ate a fish dinner and it was very good.   The building/grounds were not quite as fancy as Tree House but still nice and look forward to going during better weather.
