"Faces Brewing Co. debuts outdoors as a beer garden featuring beers on draft and a food menu. The spacious brewpub opened on June 10." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal

"For craft beer and gastropub grub Malden is getting a roomy brewpub. Faces, which has ties to the now-defunct Lanes and Games (its closure will always be devastating), will open in April, serving its own beer — which will be brewed onsite and will include IPAs, stouts, sours, and more — as well as wine, liquor, and beer from other producers. The brewpub will also serve American-style gastropub fare. Faces is the brainchild of Bob Martignetti, his three brothers, and childhood friend Eddie Ducharme, who will serve as head brewer. The brewpub is named after a Cambridge nightclub the Martignettis’ father and uncles operated from the 1970s until 1990. The new Faces is situated inside an old bank, which was the site of the first armed bank robbery in the history of the United States. In a kitschy but fun move, the bank vaults will serve as private dining rooms. Mid-April 2020" - Rachel Leah Blumenthal, Terrence Doyle

Our first visit. The food was average, the service was ok. The restaurant premises are impersonal and cold to my taste. A generous space that could have been done differently. And the service has no unified dress code, so sometimes it looks like you are served by another customer :)

I went to that place while staying in Malden for a short trip to Boston. I have nothing wrong to say about that place, our server was very nice and funny, the place was beautiful and the food, delicious. One of the best mushroom pizza I had! A tiny bit pricey for my taste, but not that bad. I recommend that place for sure!

Pretty good for brunch. Really good space and ambiance. Yogurt dish was not bad, wish it had come with some maple syrup or other syrup to add some moisture. The compote did a bit but it wasn't very interesting flavor wise. Really liked the cinnamon pretzel bites though they felt more like mini buns. There were so many of them! And the butter was delicious! Def my favorite part of the food. The home fries in the hash skillet were rather disappointing not much crunch or flavor. Not much flavor in that dish overall to be honest.

Great vibes, very pretty, and gets pretty lively at night/on the weekends. Usually our go to for a couple of drinks and snacks. We LOVE the ramen tots!!! Service is great, and the staff is always friendly. The food can be a bit hit or miss, but I think has become a lot more consistent recently (been coming here for 2+ years). We find that the pizzas can sometimes be a bit too wet and not crispy enough on the bottom, but the flavors are still delicious!

I was SO disappointed by this place. I have never written a bad review of a restaurant but this was honestly so pathetic. My family and I came here for my mom’s birthday dinner. The drinks were OK. I will never complain about food but it was awful. The roast beef sandwich was overwhelmingly salty (& I love savory things-dirty martinis, stuff like that) but this was BAD. It was also ice cold in the middle. We tried the skillet cookie at the end and it tasted like it was a few days old. It was also ice cold. The service was mediocre at best. Sad to say I won’t come back here.

Glorified sports bar trying to guise themselves like a brewery! The beer was decent, but sadly, that was the highlight of the food and drink they offer. I ordered a burger, medium well, with fries. And they served me a half raw patty (see below). Fries were too salty and flavorless. To their credit, they did not to charge me for the burger. As you probably guessed by now, I will not be returning here.

My wife and I have been living in the Malden area for a year and FACES quickly became a go-to spot because of the food, drinks, and fun atmosphere. The new aesthetic overhaul is fantastic! The food and wide variety of drinks available has always been great, but the new look of the place is really lights out! Definitely bring your out-of-town friends to this brewery and they will remember it for a long time! As always, they have such solid beer choices.

For a brewery, Faces is very fancy and the decor's kinda mixed. We have jungle like wallpaper and plants hanging down over the bar. Then there's chandeliers throughout for lighting. My friend got the lemonade beer and we all enjoyed it, pretty light too. The other buddy liked the coffee flavored one, I don't like coffee at all. As for me, I ordered a flight and truffle fries. Goblin - smooth Hula time - hoppy, then the tropical flavor kicks in Progression - usual IPA Prickly pear - didn't really taste the pear much. my friend liked it until he got midway through the 5oz.

The beer hall was big and lively on a Saturday night. The beer menus was a little smaller than I was expecting and the beer itself was fine. The real standout was the food, although the tacos were a little smaller than I had hoped they were delicious. I got the buffalo chicken tacos and they were made perfectly, nice crisp, perfect amount of sauce, and a fresh tortilla, but it was not enough and a little expensive for the amount of food. Service was extremely attentive and very helpful. I plan to come back, but may need to get an appetizer to start depending on how hungry I am.

Great service, was there for a party and flatbreads and chicken wings were 10/10. This rum honey based drink was so nice I double fisted. Ambiance is pretty casual - private rooms are in old vaults which is neat.

We came in on Feb 2 for national tater tot day and these tots DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! The ramen seasoning was amazing and such a unique spin on traditional tots. We also had a salad (AMAZING) and pizza (just OK). I was worried about it being overly crowded on a Friday night but it was easy to get a spot at the bar and the service was speedy! We will be back.

First time checking out Faces in Malden and the brunch did not disappoint! The set up and decor is gorgeous inside and it's super spacious. We started with the fruity pebbles donuts which is a definite must have to share! All the brunch dishes we tried were really good including the Salmon toast, French toast, and Benedict. Service was amazing and the staff was super attentive. Some of the dishes took a bit long to come out compared to others but overall a great experience! Definitely check out brunch here if you're in the area.

A group of us came on a Saturday night and it was surprisingly not crowded. We ordered a few beers and got the truffle + goat pizza. Food is a bit on the pricey side. I tried 3-4 beers and the beer is decent, nothing to rave about honestly. We all enjoyed the truffle + goat pizza (8 slices). It had a nice bottom crust, and the flavors went well together. Service was good as our waitress checked in on us often. The space looks quite nice, like an elevated sports bar. They have several TVs at the bar, booths with chandeliers above them, regular seating tables and high tops. Bathrooms are clean. It's a decent brewery if I'm already in the area and don't want to travel more, however there are better opinions nearby.

Im so happy to have Faces Brewing in the area! I stopped in for sunday brunch with a friend today and loved it. The aesthetic inside is lovely and the couch seating, greenery and lighting makes it feel like youre in a cozy living room. We sat at the bar and had 100/10 service from Monica!! The coffee was really good and so was the wildberry sour! We shared the Lox toast to start and it was so good. The bread was perfectly crisp but soft and the pickled red onion was a perfect edition. We also each had the Lumberjack and loved it. Everything was super tasty! The french toast was just the slightest bit undercooked but I still ate it all because it tasted outrageously good!! We'll definitely be back soon! Great experience.

Enjoyed our meal here. Brussel sprouts were plentiful and so very delicious. And my salmon BLT was yummy. Service was nice too. My drink, Emperor's New Groove, was lovely and well balanced. If I had to make one change, I would love to see more entree-style items on the menu verses sandwiches. Would likely make me return sooner to try more things.

This is a brewery that exceeds all expectations. The interior is amazing. The design down to the bathroom is quality. Service was fantastic food was extremely good and varied for all palates. The secret is the event space. Reserve the vault for a dinner for six to eight. There is also a larger space perfect for small function. My only regret was not going for brunch.

5 star atmosphere, 4 star beer and food. Stopped by on a Friday night and had no trouble getting a table for two. It definitely filled up throughout our meal, but it's not nearly as packed as most other Boston breweries. First of all, I can't say enough good things about the space itself. It's a huge open room with a big bar in the middle, and the decor is so cute. Think typical funky brewery vibes meets trendy touches like huge chandeliers, plant walls, pink flamingo wall paper in the bathroom, etc. Now for the important stuff: the beer. Our absolute favorite was the Progression. It's not super hazy, but has everything else you love and expect from a NE IPA. We moved on to some 5 oz pours next and tried quite a few things. I thought the Ultrawave and Jacuzzi Lovechild were good as well, though my fiancé was not a fan of the Ultrawave, he said it tasted like it had rum mixed in. The Lychee Strawmonster sour however, was absolutely undrinkable. It's soooo sweet that all you get is a syrupy sugar taste. I'm not one to leave craft beer behind, but we had to hand it back to the server after sampling it. Overall the beer menu seems a bit hit or miss compared to other local spots, but it all depends on your preference. Food-wise, we tried the fried pickles, mesquite dry rub bbq wings, and Chorizo + Pineapple pizza (loved the creative pizza options!) I was impressed with the quality for brewery food, and the dry rub wings were definitely the winner. Great spot to hang out if you find yourself in Malden!

the worst experience, especially with the service of the hostess. I placed an order online for pickup and when it arrived there were 5 minutes left before the estimated time on the application. The hostess didn't even want to check if the order was ready even though parking was difficult. I ordered some wings with sauce that they didn't add and a pizza with a modification that they didn't make either. ZEROOOOO RECOMMENDED, I hope they care about improving.

Fantastic spot to meet up with friends, watch games, and just hang out! Came here with a few friends on a Friday evening and the place was lively but not too busy. We had no trouble grabbing a table for 8+ people and the staff was more than accommodating for when our numbers fluctuated between 4 and 8, allowing us to switch tables as we pleased. We were given more than enough attention with our waiter returning to ask if we needed anything else quite often. Their pear sangria was delicious and had a great portion size as well. The pickles were tasty as well! I would just say their food in general was a little pricy - I'd probably eat elsewhere and get drinks here after. Overall, I would gladly recommend this spot as a place to hang out and meet up with friends. The space is large and makes it easy to accommodate several parties at once so I think there won't be much of a wait and it wouldn't be too loud either. Thanks, Faces!

You--you fancy huh? Oh, you fancy, huh? Should have been playing as we were at Faces. Drakes Fancy is the epitome of Faces brewing. The NE Brewery vibe is down to earth. Usually kid friendly. Interesting menu's. Jovial wait staff who care out what they are serving. That's our vibe and this place was too fancy for us for a brew hop day. Site of the first US bank robbery. We did look up the story on our car ride and our whole family was captivated by it. We get there and my eyes were immediately drawn to the right side of the room with the wall of hanging potted flowers. Very junglesque. I immediately fell in love with the table that was an old vault door- pretty nifty! The hostess alerted us they do not have high chairs so I asked for a table near the window that had the best chairs for my toddler to sit in. It was a rainy Saturday afternoon. They were hosting a birthday party and a baby shower. This place is large enough to accommodate this and have people eating/drinking in the restaurant which was not packed (maybe only 3/4 tables seated.) But our waiter seamed uninterested in servicing our table. We barely saw him and we didn't get the vibe he wanted to tell us about their beer. As I walked into the bathroom I saw the beautiful gold and black art deco wallpaper in the rear, the beautiful vault door and the well done graffiti inside the vault (tasteful.) I stepped into the ladies restroom and how beautiful! The flamingo wall paper and gold mirrors with the faces logo on the bathroom stall doors. Top notch attention to detail here! Immediately I felt this place does not give off typical brewery vibes. As I walked back to our table I walked under a row of chandeliers! What I don't understand- the logo is 3 dog heads and how that ties to such a fancy interior. The ramen tots, lightly seasoned. needs more! The salt and pepper wings: perfect crisp and great flavor. My husband said the beers were solid 3.75's on untapped. Oh Drake- they are fancy!

My husband works in the area and has been absolutely raving about how amazing Faces is. I finally got to see it for myself, and wow was he right. This spot in Malden has a Cali-chic vibe to it with amazing beers and zero pretentious vibes. While I love a good brewery, it is rare that I actually enjoy all of their beers. We tried a handful at Faces and I liked every. single. one. Their pizza looked amazing, and I will definitely be ordering one next time! Great service, awesome decor, and the best beer. I can't wait to come back!

Good selection of beer in a std modern bar ambiance. Nice open space and the old bank vault is a neat feature. Best pork carnitas tacos I've had, and solid wings. Will definitely be returning.

Pretty decent food, fun local brewery for the atmosphere. I like that they have bands playing sometimes.

The beers are fantastic. Love that they rotate a bit but I haven't had a bad one. The music and interior decor are amazing and a fantastic vibe. Would highly recommend. The food has been hit or miss but even then never bad. More just great and average. The pizzas are my favorite along with the ramen tots. The outdoor space in the summer is nice too

Disappointing My family frequents this establishment and we purchase beer to bring home and gift. Recently we purchased beer and didn't realize that the date on it was from January! Past its prime! We reached out to the establishment no response!

I came here with some friends for drinks after we had dinner so this will be a review of the drinks and bar. I would say the drinks are okay, but they're nothing to write home about. I ordered an old fashion and my friends mostly ordered beers. I wish their cocktails were more flavorful. Their drink selection was decent but none of the drinks really popped out for me. I would say the atmosphere was very nice. The lighting and ambiance felt more post-modern but there were certain areas of the establishment where I felt they weren't sure what they wanted to do with that area. The bartender was friendly and professional.

Faces Brewing is an incredible gem in Malden, MA, just a quick ride on the orange line from downtown Boston. My friend and I walked in for brunch without a reservation at 11:15 on a Saturday and were immediately seated. The ambiance is beautiful featuring private tables for small and large parties, greenery draping the walls, along with a very large bar in the center. Our waitress, Monica, was a delight, as was the entire team working! We tried family style dining ordering the fried pickles, poutine, burrata and prosciutto, Brussels sprouts, and a breakfast platter. Everything was absolutely delicious, though we agreed that the brussels sprouts were lacking in flavor amongst the rest of the really flavorful dishes. For drinks we had a few rounds of Bellinis, Bloody Maria's, and finished with breakfast shots that gave us a nice buzz. Will definitely be returning! Enjoy!

I usually only come here for dinner and I'm glad that I finally stopped for brunch. We stopped on a Saturday afternoon and ordered the following: Chicken and Waffles, Hangover Burger, Margherita Pizza, and Gluten free breakfast pizza. The chicken and waffles offer a great blend of sweet and salty with a large portion of chicken. The burger looked delicious and the pizzas were both amazing. I also ordered the Progression beer which was a tasty NEIPA. I love that they kept the decorations of the bank with the vault and the chandeliers. Especially cool how the vault can be used as a private dining room. The server was attentive and checked up on us often. Glad I was able to try this place for brunch. Hoping the White Bronco cans make a come back!

Came here with some friends to grab lunch after doing an escape room. We came at a slow time and opted to sit at the bar. Service was good, but nothing mind-blowing. We were all happy with the food but the beer honestly, was lackluster. Maybe we didn't try the right ones, but we tasted a few and none were even worth purchasing in a pint. Oh well.

I've had Faces before, almost a year ago and Iaonly tried there apps and it was your standard. So this Saturday when my friend and I went we were hoping to get brunch. We called prior and was told by the host that it stops at 3, we made it by 2pm and once we were seated and served it was around 2:10 give or take. All this to say, once our waitress started to serve us we asked for a brunch meal and her response had my friend and I floored. Her response, "brunch ends at 2pm." This is why they didn't get a 5 star from me because there is lack of communication. Our hearts were initially set on brunch but we ended up ordering dinner. For starters we ordered their corn dog it was good and fried, it had this great sauce that was paired well with it. Then my friend and I ordered the Southern chicken. I had high expectations for this sandwich and Faces succeeded. It had a hint if spice with coleslaw that was filled with flavor and fresh pickles. The fries were light and airy. I'm definitely coming back for brunch. As for my waitress she was decent. Didn't gage in much conversation and barely checked in. Food: 8.5 Customer service: 6.5

I've been multiple times solo along with my large family (lots of kids) and we're always treated well and leave happy. I particularly like the food options / price levels, and the fresh beer. Location in beautifully restored historic building with lots of space to stretch out helps with ambiance. They attract good clientele of folks just looking to get out and enjoy a bite, a drink, or a little bit of both. Great place for conversation!

We decided to try Faces for dinner after a recommendation from a friend. We ordered the Margherita pizza, rosemary garlic chicken wings, the ruby red Paloma and fast fuse. The pizza was fresh out of the oven, it was cheesy and the crust was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. It came in a pretty decent portion - definitely sufficient for two people. The chicken wings were also super good, the rosemary and garlic flavor was very prevalent. It was crunchy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. The aioli sauce was a great addition and went well with the pizza too. The ruby red paloma cocktail was refreshing and I loved the pomegranate flavor which was prevalent but not overwhelming. The fast fuse beer was pretty decent as well!

Ray R.

Yelp
The food and drinks are mediocre. You can have most of the drinks at any other bars in town. This place itself is loud as heck. The other funny part is that all the glasses we used were sticky. Our server was just fine. However, we got charged by 20% of tip. If our party is larger than 4 people, this might be reasonable. However, there were only 3 of us. I almost paid an extra 18% of tip if it didn't get pointed that out. The person who slide my card said nothing about the pre-tip and just left in silence. A so-called manager was very rude and holds aggressive attitude toward customers. There are better choices in town, so why bothered? Just here to give this place some beautiful words.

Yelp
This is strictly a food review. Food was mediocre at best and the music was very loud so you couldnt even really hear the person sitting next to you. Service was normal. What we got: Pretzel bites: this was good, the beer cheese was very tasty! Poutine: straight disrespect to call this poutine. There was no gravy at all. Basically fries topped with some short ribs. Nashville hot chicken sandwich: the chicken slice was so thin that it soaked up all of the oil that went into frying it. When I bit into it, it was a big bite of oil and a little spice. Sausage and peppers pizza: this was ok but as a new yorker, my standards for pizza are pretty high. The bottom doesn't have a crunch but it was great and crisped up as left overs when reheated on a cast iron pan the next day. Flavor was good though! Probably won't come back for the food but maybe the drinks are worth it?

Came here last night for a quick bite and really enjoyed it. It was 9p on a Saturday so the atmosphere was more of a bar scene than restaurant vibe but we enjoyed the music and the vibe all around. Vibe: Inside is very well designed with cool wallpaper, tile and light fixtures. Would be nice for a date night or drinks with friends. Drinks: The Wicked Garden was good but pricey. The Progression IPA was my favorite that we tried. Food: We had the buffalo wings and caesar salad which are pretty easy to make meals but they were good. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked good. Definitely want to try a few of their sandwiches next time. Overall, would definitely recommend.

Great addition to Malden right on Pleasant St. Easy street parking or garage. Large inside space and large tent in back when weather permits. Good beer and decent food as well. Prices are higher than expected and no additional discount on small pours (a few 5 oz pours were more than half their full pour cost). Tots with miso tasting sauce were delicious, bavarian brat was good, steak and eggs was just alright for the price. Look forward to trying some of the other brews and dishes.

Food was great. Waitress was awesome. Bartender was rude and dismissive. Served me the wrong drink then insisted I was drunk and ordered it. Very strange interaction.

Met up with a couple friends here to watch the Patriots based on their recommendation of the place and it didn't disappoint. Very spacious and efficient layout with high ceilings once you walk in - center bar dominated the area with a fair number of TVs mounted above, tables to left and high-tops and booths to the right. Festive decorations for Christmas gave the area a nice warmth and togetherness. Seated at a table, it was great that they had a TV screen dedicated to the current tap list, which they rotate. The Progression NE IPA was smooth with a fair fruit-forward punchiness (would venture Mosaic and Citra but I could be off). I followed that with the Commander Cream Ale, which was pretty solid and crushable and served as a bit of a palate cleanser as it was lighter in ABV. My friends thought Yanni's Finest Lager was refreshing, the Disco Zombie Saison a bit sour for one and refreshing for the other and the Stag English Pale Ale solid. For food, we ordered the ramen tots with soy aioli dipping sauce and hickory smoked wings with two different pairings - mesquite dry rub BBQ and sweet chili. I much preferred the sweet chili since the flavor was more well-rounded but the mesquite dry rub wasn't too far off. Will have to say that the waitresses were very attentive and nice, checking up on us every so often if we needed another drink but also noticing the level of liquid before asking/not asking. For the wings, we asked about the flavor profile of the death pepper and joked about the consequences with one of the waitresses. Even though we opted out of that condiment, she was nice enough to give some to us. And just like what the waitress mentioned, there's a hint of sweetness at the very beginning but immediately followed by burning pain, which eventually subsided. Very glad I took only a miniscule amount about the size of the head of a thumbtack. I went after it a couple more times after. I rounded out the night with two espresso martinis, made with dark roast coffee and a good amount of rum. Both were very enjoyable, though the second had less alcohol. Faces Brewing does have concerts from time to time, just check out the events schedule on their website. Will also have to return after winter to experience the patio.

Good good. Fast service. Bohemian vibe. Better than bar food quality. We'll definitely repeat our visit.

Chris was out making all the cocktails for me and my friends. He was so friendly and made some delicious drinks. It was my first time visiting Boston and I was not disappointed by the outdoor seating this place had!! It was huge and there was corn hole outside. Fun spot to enjoy an evening!

Downtown Malden square and no asian food, holyshit amazing. So it's a brewery, I don't drink beer anymore, but i felt the need to order one, i ordered an IPA it was good, i got full, and then remembered why i don't drink beer. The food was good, pretzels, poutine, pizza i guess we were only eating foods that began with P. Service was fine, tables spaced out, very large inside and when weather is good they have an outside area as well. Parking sucks, period. Malden square is perhaps the worst place to park in any city i have ever been in, but hey keep putting up more condos, im sure that will help.

The good: - never crowded - decent food - sports on TV if you're into that The bad: - poor service - QR code menus - beers are ok at best (sours taste like kool-aid) - unwelcoming vibe I tried to like this place. The food is pretty good, and the beer is acceptable. The service is pretty spotty, though - seat yourself and wait around forever for someone to deal with your order. It's always empty in there so it's not like they're busy. The last time we visited Faces we sat down around 7:45pm and within 15 minutes no one had taken our order. The staff were all standing at the back of the room chatting with each other. Multiple people looked right at us but no one came over, even when we tried (politely!) to get their attention. Bizarre experience. Maybe they should just stick to beer.

Walking thru the center of Malden, my group came across this bright, welcoming former bank that is serve drinks and food than stacks of cash. We stopped in for some drinks to figure out what to make off with before our return trip back to CT. Not doing the typical flights, they offer tastings in 5oz pours and charge between $3 to $6 per glass. We opted to get two sours, two IPAs and three stouts. A lot of what we got had some kind of lactose in it but we were definitely hooked on the flavors of strawberry, kiwi and tartness that we had with the two sours we ordered. With a name like Nunchuck Taylor's we were curious and glad we ordered it for the time. Meanwhile on the other side of the spectrum we had three stouts and two IPA that were pretty stable but the stouts did stand a little further apart in flavor with aroma of chocolate in the stout that made the stout a little easier for a non stout drinker like me. We did walk out with both of the sours, one IPA and a lager as sadly that wasn't on tap. The big pull for us next time would be staying here a little longer and enjoying their food. We kept seeing food come out of the kitchen and they caught our eye for sure.

Giving this 4 stars bc they're mainly operating as a brewery- the beer that I tried is great. The ambiance is playful. Lots of bar seating, space, and booth seating. I wouldn't come here just for food, however. The food served was underwhelming. Come for drinks and meeting with friends.

Never Ever Again, First I want to say I went there with a friend, after I saw it on the Phantom Gourmet. And I'm revealing our ages used to go to the Original Faces on Rte 2. We lucked out with a parking spot in the public parking. The place was nice, loved the chandler lights, they stood out other than that nothing else. The bartender she was very nice. We ordered to cocktails and they were good. And then ordered the Margarita Pizza and the Cheese Steak. Both were AWESOME!! Unfortunately things went down hill very quickly. I picked out a pack of their beer and wanted to buy it. My friend tried to wave down our bartender to close our our tab and make this purchase and this young man came to us and said I'm not a dog, who do you think you are clicking your fingers at me. And some very vulgar words that I can't repeat. We both were in shock, as we only wanted to get our bartender. The place was not busy at all. And our bartender, and this other bartender and the hostess were all present at the far end of the bar. Not sure why our bartender who was waiting on us didn't just come forward. As things wouldn't have turned out the way they did. It was so upsetting to my friend and I that we asked for the manager. And the owner Anthony came out, never said who he was. All he did was say that what was said to us was exactly what he would have done. And he walked away. We both were in shock to be treated like this. I asked who he was and was told he was the owner. I've never been treated like this. I will never go back there again sadly. Anthony and his bartender should be ashamed of themselves and that's putting it lightly. I've never ever made a comment on dining, but had to this time. So all you beware waving down a server in any fashion is considered out of line!! And my dear friend who was a server for over 30 years for Legal Seafood, and was the one trying to get someone's atttention, said that would never have taken place on her watch at Legals. I hope that this educates everyone! c

We have been here a few times and every time has been excellent. Most recently, we came with the toddlers and our new baby. They have really comfortable booth/chair seating, which is an upgrade from a year ago. The beer was delicious (Malden Country Club, Miami Ferrari, and the pumpkin beer) and comes in either 5oz pours or full size. The brunch menu was SO delicious. Creative breakfast sandwiches (breakdance and maple bacon sandwich) and donuts were the stars for us. Staff was really friendly and accommodating to our young family. Thank you!!

Came for the outdoor patio having heard the food and beers were great and was not let down. The patio (parking lot) was nicely set up with shade and tables far apart from one another. Service was quick (I don't think we waited more than 3 minutes between ordering a beer and receiving it) even though (nearly?) all the tables were taken. Everyone enjoyed the beers that they had - even the sour was almost at the level I want (I want to make a face when I drink it). We had the pretzels and falafel. Both were great and easy to share in a covid safe way as the pretzels were sticks and not wrapped together.

My favorite local brewery. Awesome food, especially the pizza, and an ever revolving menu of great beers. The people who own, run, and work at Faces are all incredible. I consider myself very lucky to live a few blocks from this place. Weekend brunch is also killer. Top that off with the fact that they host bands in the backroom on a regular basis and this place has become my Cheers. 6 out of 5 stars.

I went here for brunch with a few friends and enjoyed the experience. Even though it's a brewery, they have a full bar. For brunch, they had mixed brunch shots made to taste like different cereals. For a crowd that's almost 30, being able to guzzle down multiple shots made us feel young again! The food was delicious, they had interesting creations like ramen tots and classics like chicken and waffle. Overall, great place and would come again!

Two words: corn dogs. Fairly new to the starters menu, these things are amazing. I got them to go but ended up eating both immediately as I say at the bar enjoying a tangerine sour.

Terrible beer. Terrible service. The server did not seem to care that we asked for the bill and clearly did not care for the beer. Will not return.

Honestly some of the rudest employees I've come across in a while... went to the bathroom before they closed and they followed us to the bathroom to make sure we knew they were closing. Probably won't come back again.
