What a great place. It was a Sunday afternoon and this was the first time we visited the place. Nice layout and friendly people. I was greeted as I walked in. We found a seat at one of the community tables and ordered a flight. The beer was excellent. We tried the food truck outside and my wife and I split the Chicken tacos that were great and full. Nice and crispy. The bartender was really busy but right on it, we ordered a second flight and he had it out in no time at all. We will definitely be back. I even bought two 6 packs to go of my favorite beer.

I visited Attaboy for the first time with friends over the weekend. With one of the latest closing times we could find for a brewey in the area (it was a Sunday and they closed at 10pm), and with the promse of a food truck on the premises, we opted to visit here after Olde Mother Brewing (another great brewery to check out, close by). Attaboy is tucked back in what I'm guessing used to be a warehouse (?); some sort of commercial building. I like the warehouse-y vibe though, and enjoyed the options of sitting indoors near the bar, under cover in the former garage space, or right outside at picnic tables and a few lounge chairs. The group enjoyed the flights, and overall people gave good ratings. The favorite around the table seemed to be Mermaid's Blood, though I also enjoyed the IPA's, and not typically a IPA person. The food from the food truck - Boxcar - was just okay. They had burgers and meatless burgers. I certainly plan to visit this brewery again - I like the vibe and the beers.

I've been waiting for MR to open since they were a Brewery In Planning at the 2016 MD Craft Beer Festival in Frederick - it was definitely worth the wait! I've been to Midnight Run a number of times since it opened in late 2017 and can say that it's the home of my favorite beers in Frederick. There's a reason it's common to see people from other local breweries and tap-houses frequent Midnight Run. MR has been putting out new beers regularly with 8 on tap when I visited last night. They focus on BIG beers that typically range from about 6.5% to 13% ABV, but the crazy thing is that they don't taste like high-ABV beers usually do - not boozy at all. Their latest release is a Belgian Tripel @ 12% ABV (The White Devil) that's incredible. They offer flights along with multiple sized pours and you can purchase a growler to go or bring in your own to fill. If you're looking for a brewery to try in Frederick, make sure Midnight Run is on your list. You won't be disappointed!

Stopped in after a LONG meeting --- Glad we did. Busy, but great service and beers. It was "winter" so mostly IPAs, Porters and such. the Porter was great --- Food truck was 'burgers' and was pretty darn good. Very lively ambiance. Animals welcome! Would recommend: Yes! Would re-patronize: Probably
