The Vanguard Brew Pub & Distillery

The Vanguard is a brew pub and music venue in the historic Hampton armory, pairing Caiseal craft beer and cocktails with a full restaurant menu. The kitchen serves wings, burgers, flatbreads, tacos, sandwiches and entrees such as bratwurst braised in Caiseal Red Ale, along with a weekend brunch menu. Live music features local and national touring bands, and the venue hosts weekly events like a Cruise In on the last Saturday and Bike Night.

The venue takes private events, including corporate parties, fundraisers and celebrations, and can be booked for the entire space with its own kitchen and crew. Tables can be reserved online. The Caiseal distillery store next door sells spirits and kegs, and weekday happy hour runs from 3 to 6 PM. Hours are shorter on Sundays and Mondays are closed.
