What people say, in short
Night Shift's Lovejoy Wharf taproom shares broader recommendations with its riverside beer gardens. Two Lovejoy-specific accounts praise the beer and pizza, though one finds the indoor room unremarkable and prefers warm-weather outdoor seating. Separate praise for Esplanade views concerns the riverside beer garden, not Lovejoy Wharf. One commenter questions the brand's brewing arrangements.
