Autonomous Society

I’ve been coming here for a few months now, and each visit somehow tops the last. The food and beer are consistently excellent — perfectly portioned dishes that pair beautifully with a wide variety of brews. Whether you prefer something light like a lager or bold like a stout, there’s a beer here for every palate. The staff are attentive, friendly, and always ready to help you discover your next favorite pour. While it’s tucked away on what feels like a random street, the spot has a charming patio and even hosts monthly music events that are an absolute blast. If you’ve driven by this place without stopping, don’t make that mistake again — it’s well worth the visit.

This is a great local spot that also has a Brewery in it. Deanitude brewing is technically located in the same spot so definitely check this out if you're looking to a good local brewery. Thanks for the hospitality Dean.

Great brewery/bar in an out-of-way spot, but not hard to find! Official place to drink/enjoy Deanitude Crafted Beer, and you can opt to bring many of those selected brews with you! (They have a tasty Vienna Lager called "Akard Street Lager" that most should enjoy!). Parking is along Akard Street, but the neighborhood felt safe to me.

Brewery #1 of the DFW Brewery Exploration with my wife. Don’t let the name confuse you. This is a true brewery and this place did not disappoint. Great selection with something for every palate. Thanks for welcoming us to Dallas.

Such a fun place. The server was awesome and met the owner/brewer. They had great beer and the tap room was pretty cool. Took a tour and had some great beverages. Highly recommended.

Autonomous Society is a gem just outside Dallas. The beer list reads like a passport crisp Kölsch, a bright, ultra-drinkable pilsner (my favorite), a sour rice beer that took me back to Asia with a San Francisco-style tart snap, and a Texas-proud bock think Shiner that any bock fan should not miss. The food is just as thoughtful: the roasted salsa is perfectly balanced in smoke, flavor, and heat; the beer cheese gave me a full-on Ratatouille moment; and the BLT was light, fresh, and spot-on with the beers. The atmosphere is welcoming with fantastic artwork, the staff is knowledgeable and kind, and we even met the owner clearly busy, wise, and genuinely passionate about the craft. You can feel the love that goes into this place. It already feels like a staple of the Dallas community and a great embodiment of Texas hospitality. Highly recommend, and wishing them many successful years ahead!

It is a fantastically relaxed, fun brewery! The patio is pet-friendly and ALL of the beers are delicious! Wonderful customer service! It is a great place for a date or to hang out with friends to play a game. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience!! Take a moment for yourself to visit this gem!!

Great new brewery in the Cedars neighborhood. Good selection of beers - some brewed in house and a selection of other local craft brews. Something for everyone - lagers, ales, IPAs, stouts. Eli at the bar served us, and she was awesome. We watched the NFL playoffs here, but they also have a bingo night on Tuesdays, trivia night on Wednesdays, open mic nights on Thursdays. They've also got darts and some board games all the time. It's a fun place to hang out.

Great place! Loved the music vibe! Definitely can get in the mood bc the music is good. Came here randomly on a Saturday for a small get together. There was a big party before us. It was a private one. It is a small place so it did get crowded quickly. The service was good. The menu had a lot of options but food didn't stand out. It was OK! I ordered the panini but it seems like it was more of a sandwich. Had their old school coke and that was cool to see! They also have a few games in the corner by the merchandise. The workers are nice and funny! There is a parking lot just right behind the bar if you can't find street parking.

Very fun and so many different types to try! Tried the red rooster and #16! Also had the barbecue tacos which were great! The staff was very speedy and friendly, especially considering we came in during a huge rush for them! Lots of seating! There were a lot of people in and we didn't feel cramped at all.

Location South east Dallas Parking Lot in back, street Atmosphere Very clean, hipster brew pub Note: large vats for brewing, nice clean bathrooms, games, free wifi-with easily accessible password, friendly-jewelry display-grumpy elf Seating Bar, open tables, good for small group meet ups Service Preston ROCKED it!!! He said-hey, if you are new here-let me tell you about the place. Loved that! A couple more staff came but Preston was AWESOME!! Menu So incredible! The menu is categorized per beer, cider, ect-also offer Prosecco, ciders, wine, topo chico, and turtle water-? What is that? Great selection! I had the blackberry cider-excellent! My husband had the house ipa -strong and good. Summary Love this place! If you are headed to Lee Harvey's-turn around n go here. Great location, great parking, super service, awesome menu!! Love this place!! Ask for Preston!

Fantastic selection of craft beers. Dean Weaver really knows his stuff! Super nice guy if you get a chance to meet him. Great vibes, excellent beer, tasty food, and amazing people. I recommend every beer on the menu plus some Bellman's BBQ Tacos and Banh Mi Sliders.

Very friendly bartender who noticed me looking at the menu and came over to take my order. Beer was quite good too. Ordered the pork belly that was excellent but sadly too small a portion for the price. Otherwise at least add refried beans to fill up the customer. This should be a great review but I am leaving hungry.

I don't drink beer but I visited autonomous for trivia night (wednesdays @ 7) and it was super fun! The food is pretty good (they just introduced a Nee menu) and the staff is awesome. It's small with only 6 or 7 tables but it's a great time.

This place is small but mighty. I love the location of this brewpub. The vibe is chill and homey. They do make some beers in house as well as have some from other breweries. They had geeks who drink going on and it was very fun to watch. I ordered a mead to drink and it was super good. Sweet and refreshing. I had to try a good item because why not and the pretzel bites with cheese were very good! Our bartender was great and super fast. Will have to come back for trivia for sure.

Two dozen beers to choose from, and good bar eats. Nice atmosphere and friendly owner who had great recommendations.

A great cozy atmosphere that was quiet and comfortable on an early Saturday evening. Service was very friendly, beer was good, food was exactly what we wanted. We only ordered the chips and dip, but the salsa is made in house (good flavor, not very spicy but has a pleasant heat that lingers) and the beer cheese was great with a bit of a kick. I will definitely be back!

Very cool little brewery/brewpub. I went on opening day and met Dean, the owner. They carry a bunch of local beer, including stuff from smaller places like Oak Highlands and Four Bullets (my favorite). Great selection of European-style local beers. They also sell wine, cava, and root beer. The location is very convenient if you're coming up from the Trinity bike trails. I'm looking forward to the food and Dean's own brews.

Excellent beer, food, atmosphere and service. Dean is an excellent host. Love this place!

Come on over! Autonomous has a vast selection of beers to choose from. They currently do not have their own, but should here in the upcoming week. The place itself has an industrial vibe with the most welcoming of people. Eli is wonderful and gave great recommendations on beers to indulge in. Dogs are welcomed outside!

Great atmosphere, good food, and, most importantly, excellent beer! Dean has done a fantastic job putting this brewery together. Highly recommended!
