The spot originally opened in 2019 under owner Rick Moralez, but since has been sold to father-and-son team Carlos Mendoza and Carlos Mendoza Jr. According to the Holland Sentinel, the pair expanded the space from about 5,500 to 8,500 square feet and shifted the focus from in-house brewing to a full-service restaurant experience.
