The Best Philly Restaurants Where You Can Also Watch Sports

"Thanks to its massive outdoor astroturf situation with corn hole and other lawn games, Fishtown’s Other Half Brewing Co. can quickly turn into an adult amusement park—especially when the Phillies play in the summer. The menu here is full of solid bar food like pulled pork sandwiches, wings, and brussels sprouts coated in garlic-soy sauce. It’s a fun place to sip on some hazy IPAs, imperial stouts, and sours, and you'll definitely see fans getting excited enough to start quoting the “need for speed” line from Top Gun and high-fiving strangers when anyone scores.  " - candis mclean

Other Half Brewing Co. - Review - Fishtown - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Along with some of the city’s best restaurants and parks, Fishtown also has one of Philly’s best breweries in Other Half. The large dog-friendly astroturf patio is the perfect place to play games of cornhole, or hang out by the fire pits and bite into some pulled pork sandwiches, wings, and brussels sprouts coated in garlic-soy sauce. Inside there’s a big wraparound bar, lots of natural light from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and enough taps to keep everyone in your group happy. Choose from a selection of 20 IPAs, and a handful of sours, lagers, and ciders that you can sip on while watching the Phillies game on any of their large TVs." - Candis R. McLean

Other half brewing is always oke of our favorites. We are big hazy beer fans and since they specialize in that, we always get plenty of choices. The new York one was definitly our favorite but this was pretty good too. They gave us plenty of samples and each hazy was pretty unique. They all were decently hazy and most had a bright Fruity taste while others had more of a earthy base. They had tones of outdoor seating and games like corn hole which is always fun. The staff was also pretty friendly and even though it was busy, they were fast. Overall you can never go wrong with a other half.

Open and spacious. Feels like Grimm in Brooklyn. Outdoor space must be great in warm weather. In PA you can get cocktails, very cool. Parking in Fish Town can be a pain with all of the condo construction. Beers, same as always. Lots of anniversary beers on tap.

First time going to Other Half was in Brooklyn and loved the beer selection and so happy when they opened one in Philly. Great vibes and especially the outdoor area, it is HUGE! Also pet-friendly. They make it quite easy to order via Toast tabs and they bring out your drink/food pretty quickly. Highly recommend, especially if the day is nice!

Unique local beers to check out! Different flavors of beer here with good bar food. Unfortunately they don't do beer flights but they do provide 4 oz cups so you can create your own. I enjoyed the fried pickles and the smash burger a lot. I even added avocado to it. The fries were good, just wish they were longer, but minor complaint there. The other foods also were delicious, couldn't go wrong with any of the food items. First come first serve to get your table/tables and you can order and pay through the QR code on the table. Very convenient. If you somehow do not have a phone that can do QR code or do not have a Credit card you can still pay the old school way. All in all, I would come back. Great location for a small or large gathering just need to come early to grab a table.

Went for drinks and got there early. Ia spacious, clean, big open area outside. You order from your table via your phone. Has other cocktails for those that aren't beer drinkers. Beers were good.

We came by on a Wednesday for their trivia and the food exceeded every expectation we had! All the drinks on the happy hour were delicious and very well priced. We're vegetarian and we had the nachos, street corn, pretzel bites, and the impossible smash burger. Everything was super tasty and we couldn't stop eating, it was that good. Definitely recommend! The only thing I would like to see is some live jazz!

I hosted my 30th birthday party in the taproom for a group of 24, and it was great! The space was perfect for the occasion, the party tray food was delicious and plentiful, and the pricing packages were very reasonable. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating throughout the event. A special shoutout to Erin, who coordinated everything. She was helpful, transparent, responsive, and made the entire planning process stress-free. Highly recommend for anyone planning an event!

Best brewery on the East Coast in my opinion! Other Half Philly is the newest OH location. Like the other locations they have truly excellent beer on tap at all times. They also have a kitchen which has a variety of options. I had the buffalo wings were very good. The one thing that is worth knowing is that parking around this location can be difficult. If you have the opportunity to arrive as OH opens that is your best bet. Definetly worth a visit.

Great service and drinks with unfortunately mediocre food. Service was super fast even on a busy Saturday. We ordered wine which was fantastic. For food, we got the chips and guac which was good. I ordered the quesadilla which had good flavor, but was completely dripping and soggy from grease. I only ended up eating half because I started to feel ill. Friend got the chicken Cesar wrap which they ask was very dry. I highly recommend visiting if you're just looking to chill and have a drink. Would pass if you're looking to eat.

Always have a great time here! They have crazy fast table service through their QR code ordering system, and their food is also really good. Highlights on the menu are the smash burger, wings, and Brussels sprouts. Definitely recommend coming here for watching games, hanging out with a large group, etc

Excellent brewery! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about their beers. They have a huge selection of beers on tap and bottled. I tried the sweater weather bottle. It was a very sweet syrupy stout. So good!!! The pretzel was good, but I'd skip the cheese. It had a very grainy texture. Think it was overcooked and the fat separated, but the pretzel was delicious.

I've always been a fan of Other Half beer. They are known for their hazy IPAs and they do them well! First time visiting the Philly location and I will certainly be back. Although most beers are produced at the Brooklyn flagship location, fresh beer is brought in from there daily. The atmosphere is great and the outside looks amazing (it was too cold for outside when we visited) Pros - Plenty of phenomenal hazy IPAs on draft Some beer you can only get at the brewery (not available in cans) Great fish tacos Helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable staff They sell cocktails Great staff and fast service (it was not busy when we visited) Great selection of cans to take home They sell coffee beans Lots of very cool merch for sale Cons - If you're not into hazy stuff there are limited beer choices. Wings were disappointing Philadelphia imposes an 18% liquor tax! Parking is scarce but there are paid lots nearby 5 stars for the vibe, staff, tacos, pretzel, and beer (I do love the hazy IPAs)

I was super excited to visit Other Half's Philly location and they didn't dissapoint. They have some of the best IPAs in the US and also had some barrel aged stouts and a few lighter beers (not too many beers that taste like beer though). Friendly, quick service with good to go selection.

This brewery is around the corner from Fillmore and Brooklyn Bown. Perfect place to hang out before attending an event. There are lawn chairs to enjoy the beer and beautiful weather. When I went there they opened up the front porch area for a private event. The white wall gives a clean ambiance. Plenty of big size televisions to watch sports. On Tuesdays when Phillies are playing, they offer dollar dog nights, which is definitely missed by a lot of Phillies fans. My husband and I sat at the bar area and the bartender attended us right away. The bar staff is so nice, attentive, and courteous. I ordered a flight of 4 beer: lime snaps 4.5%, poetry snaps 4.5%, Mexican lager 5%, and London brown 3.8%. All of them are light and enjoyable but my favorite is lime snaps because it is very refreshing. They also have some cocktail menu. Food is pretty good. I ordered roasted chicken with quinoa. The chicken is tender with some thick sauce of sweet sun dried tomatoes underneath it on a bed quinoa seasoned with some herbs. There's a lot of quinoa in the bowl. It's a very filling meal. My husband picked huevos rancheros, which is one of the brunch menu. It looks simple and he enjoys it. The only drawback is that parking can be challenging.

Such a cool spot!! Great outdoor seating with fire pits and games. Super comfortable and flexible. Close to the casino if you want to pop over after a few drinks. Bartenders were helpful with beer tastings and suggestions. General OH's chicken bites were good but had a serious spicy kick to them. Fresh cut fries were great. Super crispy and tender on the inside. Good flavor. Big Citra was a good refreshing beer. Not too heavy or hoppy.

This is for the folks thinking of hosting an event here. DO IT!! My bestie had his baby shower here. The brewery had one half of the space blocked off for our party. It was a rainy day but being by the windows kept it feeling bright and airy. The beer and cocktail selection was great. Now, I'm a fan of sours (like before anyone even liked sours 10+ years ago) and I was disappointed there weren't really any on the menu. Still, the beer they had hit. Toward the end of the evening I had one where the ingredient was anchovy, sweet lime watermelon soda and lychee. The standout drink tho was the Apeloma - an aperol spritz Paloma hybrid. I had my share of those. Teehee. Back to event hosting. They had food set up along the front windows and down the side. Menu was supreme: general tsos chicken chunks, sliced ribeye, sliders, wings, pretzel bites, shrimp and grits. Now in previous reviews you know I said I don't order S&G above the Mason Dixon. This was an exception. The texture of the grits was INCREDIBLE! Like--- Fat things: In our section it was just tall bar stools. The legs looked spindle-y but the chairs were hella supportive and comfortable. There were also wooden bar stools. Other: Bartenders were friendly and attentive. Parking in Philly continues to be a nightmare. However, I found free street parking a 2 minute walk (an honest 2 minutes not a speedwalker 2 minutes which is really 10 minutes for me) right underneath the nearby underpass. All in all, wonderful experience on a Saturday afternoon.

Excellent brewery in Northern Liberties section of Philly. My girlfriend and I came here on a Friday night at 6. It was seat yourself, and we found a table right away. Looking at a menu on my phone is a pain but I do like that you can order and pay right on the phone. It really speeds up the process so that you don't have to wait around for a server throughout the night. And they're super fast too. Our beers arrived literally about two minutes after we ordered. We ordered the Green City IPA and the Mosaic Dream IPA. We are both big fans of IPA's and of breweries in general. We're no experts but consider ourselves fairly knowledgeable. Both of these IPA's were outstanding. We also ordered the carnitas tacos. I never expected to find some of the best tacos I've ever had at a brewery, but here we are. They were juicy, simple and incredibly flavorful. The place had a great vibe. Spacious, clean, organized, with lots of big TV's. Great spot, we'll definitely be back.

Do you love IPAs? This is your type of brewery. 12 IPAs on draft! Service is great. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They have an amazing outdoor seating area that hits perfect during the warmer months or like today with a random 65°in March. It's a perfect destination or a starting point for your evening at a show at the live music/comedy venues next door.

Great spot was made for getting together with friends. There was tons of outdoor seating, games and a huge TV. We stopped by after lunch on a Friday to grab a quick drink. We showed the guy at the door our IDs, walked in and found a table right away. We used our phones to scan the QR codes and ordered our beers right to the table. I ordered 4 different beers, they weren't my favorites but each was interesting and I'm glad I tried them. There were heaters outside to keep people warm in the colder months and it is very dog friendly.

This brewery is still very good. While I think they have lost their quality a bit since their expansion from Brooklyn, this place still offers great IPAs and stouts. I really like how everything is ordering from your seat (I really think this is the new way ordering should be done). I do wish they would have stouts/darker beer on tap. Like why do I have to keep getting bottles of my dark goodness (it's so annoying all these breweries are just catering to these IPA heads)? The pistachio cheesecake stout was to die for- I really liked how the taste of pistachio was so subtle and mixed very well with the cheesecake flavoring.

Coming on a Wednesday night, I was able to find street parking. On a Friday or Saturday night, you will need to park much further away. The layout is set up with a lot of outdoor space but can probably hold 60 or 70 people inside. There is a large selection of beers so you can find something you like but the food menu was not extensive and the soft pretzel was not soft. There are a couple of large tv's to watch sports. I know some reviewers are high on the chain but I have had better experiences at other breweries.

Other Half took over the old Goose Island brewery and brought it back to life! I love this location because it is a great spot to go to right before a show at the Fillmore complex. The space is really airy with lots of windows and patio. To order, you use the QR code at the table and someone brings your food over as you are waiting. I couldn't get the shared tab option to work but it was okay because it was just two of us and we passed the phone back and forth. The beer is reasonably priced and I really enjoyed the Berry Mallow Crunchee. It was really sweet/sour with an interesting maple after taste. It was more like a dessert but truly delicious. The waiter even brought over water to us and explained that there is self service water stations around. But the downfall of this place is the food. I tried the mushroom banh mi and I thought it was disgusting. Really upsetting and I couldn't finish my meal because I thought it was so bad. The mushroom was just slimy and gross and super greasy. I was able to steal a couple bites of my husbands impossible burger which was much tastier. Anyway, even though the picture looks good the mushroom banh mi is not it. Also, I am not a fan of this shoestring style of fries. That my be a personal take but this is my review!! I will probably be back but I will make sure to eat ahead of time.

Avoid, we spent a ton of money here and they didn't warn us about last call. As we were leaving, had to use the restroom and wouldn't let us in to use as paying customers? Trash

I really enjoy this brewery located in fishtown/northern liberties (depending who you ask) by a hub of activities including the comedy club, bowling, virtual golfing, distillery, and concert venue. A great meeting spot for any and every occasion. To enter you'll have to show your ID to security who have been pleasant each time I've gone. While you must be over 21 children are welcomed with their parents. Once you enter it's pretty much up to you to find the location to sit. I always choose an outdoor bench due to my party size. Then you can scan the QR code for the menu and order your food. So no waiting for the check when you are ready to leave. The beverages and food arrive before you know it by their amazing staff. Now the food...I've enjoyed everything I've tried especially the Brussel sprouts and corn. But others have mentioned how they enjoyed everything they have ordered as well. The beverages are abundant, the beers change to some frequency and I've tried something new each time. The best part especially for my little one, is that there is tons of outdoor space for the kids to run around and meet new friends. The outdoor games are also available for patrons.

beer? bad. service? even worse. never have experience a ruder staff. it's totally fine if you go and it's dead but the second it get busy it's clear not a single bartender or server wants to be there. they just wanna stand around a chat for a living.

Great brewery in the no libs hood. Modern inside with lots of seating and lighting. There's an outdoor area too complete with games and heaters and plenty of Adirondack chairs. It can get packed on the weekends so just be prepared. Good place for families with kids.

I'm new to "big city" ordering via a QR code at the table... with major food allergies I much prefer to speak to a real person. The host in charge made me feel super comfortable and checked with the kitchen to make sure what I was looking to order was safe... and it was super delicious! It was a quinoa bowl with chicken... the only thing that surprised me was the quinoa was cold. It wasn't on the menu as a salad, which I'd expect that... the chicken was hot, and since it was a "bowl" I expected the entire thing to be hot. However, it was super delicious! The only other "criticism" I'd have is that they hide their super cool merch under the counter. They have a great wall that with some cool industrial shelving could be used to feature more than the 3 hats that almost seemed an afterthought. Overall the vibe is great, the service was superb, and the food was outstanding.

I have been to Other Half twice now and really enjoyed my visit both times. The first was opening weekend so we had to wait in a line to get in. However the line moved pretty well. The inside is bright and has a ton of natural light, it's really nice. The service is good and the beers are amazing. If you like a hazy IPA this is the spot for you! However, if you are not a fan of IPAs you may want to try somewhere else. I, personally, am I huge fan of hazy beers, especially IPAs so I was excited to try their varieties. I would say the beer menu is about 80-90% IPA. I do hope they expand the food menu. So far we have tried the fries, brussels and wings and I thought they were all good! They definitely need more options though especially that are good for sharing. Whenever I am going to a brewery I am usually with a few people that want to share an appetizer, and I really don't love their options. I'm hoping since they are new they will expand it after some time. Overall, excellent brewery, could see this being our new go-to spot!

I love this brewery in Philadelphia. You can order by QR code and both the food and drinks come SO quickly. They have a great system there and I love how you can try a bunch of great beers and have some solid bar food as well. I love the open area outside on a nice day. The inside is spacious as well. I've also been there for trivia night and it's a fun time. It's a great place to meet up before a show at the venues right around the corner.

Great vibes, unfortunately less than stellar beer. We went on a Friday night and it was packed. Luckily, we snagged seats at the bar but there weren't any tables left at 8pm. It's very close to a concert venue and there was a show that night, which may have affected crowds. Service seemed limited for those seated at tables. Bar service was a tad slow, but they seemed understaffed. While they didn't have flights on the menu, they let you order however many 4 oz pours you want, which I appreciated on a busy night. They don't really have any light beers or anything with a low abv content on the menu. I ordered 3 of their imperial stouts, pistachio ice cream, waffles, and shortbread, and unfortunately, I hate them all. They all tasted exactly the same, which was like a mulled wine. You could only taste the alcohol and none of the flavoring they claimed. They were almost undrinkable. The Belgian triple was also an odd flavor and way too strong. Everyone else seemed to get IPAs, which may be better. The highlight of the night was the spicy chicken fingers. They were above average for bar food, although I disliked the yogurt lime dressing. Burger was on the small side and forgettable. They have a large outdoor space and will probably give them another chance in the summer.

The is a great spot. Well located. The outside seating area is spacious with lots of seating space. This eatery offers a cool, laid back vibe that invites all including children and pets, to enjoy the delicious food offerings. I ordered the smoked trout dip with old bay season chips, honey Siracha chicken bits, and the Mexican corn. All were delicious and surprisingly delicious. I was surprised about the large pieces of trout in the dip. Yummy. The restaurant offers a variety of beer and the only thing that I think it could benefit from is a varied selection of hard cider. As far as I could tell, it only offered pumpkin cider. I will definitely be back.

The Other Half is one the best IPA-centric breweries in the US, possibly the world. No longer is a trek to Brooklyn or a beer trade with friends required to get your hands on the good stuff. The Other Half enjoys all the benefits of the location that Goose Island did: -Large Bar -Plenty of Tables -Outside seating + large outdoor space -Clean Bathroom -Spacious Venue -Close to the Fillmore The Other Half took a good thing and made it better. I could spend the rest of my reviewing raving about their ordering system. Scan the QR code, select your food/beverage and then have the server bring it to you. If everyone in your party enters their own order, no messy splitting of the bill. You can also order beverages at your own pace. Brilliant! The beer speaks for itself. When ordering I toggled between their ordering page and Untappd (sorted by draft/top rated first). I was able to easily pick out their many 4.3+ out of 5-star beers with minimal research done. I had even had a few 4.1's because they looked interesting. Boo hoo to me! Just kidding- if only every brewery crossed the 4.0 threshold that regularly. The only area I'd want to see improvement is food. Before my July 2022 visit, I don't even think they had the menu on their website, and I had to rely on older Yelp pictures. It looks like they've built out the variety a little bit, but there isn't a ton of depth. Hopefully they are still working on it. My table split a few soft pretzel orders with cheese. Unfortunately, the cheese was just whiz. I guess that's a Philly thing, but I'd rather have beer cheese or something a little more eclectic. Aside from a few small misses on the food, I'm really impressed with the Other Half's Philly location. Let's be honest, they had me at IPA.

Other Half is one of those breweries I want to like more than I do. But then I ultimately compare it to the brewery that used to be in the space, and many breweries and beer-centered bars on the Fishtown trail, and it just shows where they have some serious grounds for improvement. Ultimately, the indie beer snob in me is kicking myself for saying that a Budweiser IBev-owned brewery like Goose Island did things better than a rising indie brewery darling like Other Half. But in the grand scheme of things Goose Island was a brewpub that featured a plentiful food menu and a huge but well-rounded beer list, while in comparison Other Half has a still half-assed food menu with a lot of kinks and one of those beer menus that rely FAR TOO HEAVILY on IPAs and not nearly enough on other beer varieties. Then you look outside of Other Half to see what other Fishtown area breweries like Evil Genius, Tired Hands St. Oners, and Human Robot are doing; and what beer bars like Bottle Bar East, Kraftwork, and Johnny Brenda's do in comparison, and that's where you start to see even more of a disconnect! I don't care whether you name your beer after cheese, vegetables, basketball references, or give it an elaborate dreamscape name; if you 10+ IPAs on your beer list they eventually all start to taste exactly the same. The lack of beer variety is their main problem, but they shouldn't have to necessarily go through that IPA overkill since I've also enjoyed their Japanese rice lager, and MMM Fruit sour. I would also like to try more of their stouts if they didn't just cost around $10-12 for a 4 or 6 oz pour or $16 for a big bottle, which brings up their 2nd problem of pricing since their offerings are fairly overpriced compared to the many other breweries and beer bars in Fishtown. The next thing that needs more work is the food menu. While the smash burger that I had was decent even if it was barely smashed, it just doesn't hold a candle to the burger offerings that you'll find at spots like Kraftwork, Lloyd Whiskey Bar, Johnny Brenda's, and others in the area; especially with the $16 price tag. They do also have plenty of fries, wings, sandwiches, and vegetarian options on the menu, but it also still feels a little thrown together. Despite those issues, Other Half is still the best option for grabbing a quick bite before a show at The Fillmore or Punchline, and it still has the impressive outdoor seating area that Goose Island had. So it does have its pluses.

Other Half Brewing is a recently opened brewery on the edge of Northern Liberties. My wife and I visited the brewery to enjoy their selection of IPAs and sours. The beer did not disappoint, with the caveat that the tap list skews very, very heavily towards IPAs, and almost exclusively offers hazy IPAs at that. While some session brews and cleaner beers are on offer, their specialty is unfiltered and thick pale ales. Honestly, many of the IPAs I tried tasted quite similar, and I preferred some of their session offerings over the heavier pours they are known for. My wife enjoyed that Other Half carries four sour ales on their large tap list, and enjoyed both a thick, almost puree consistency blackberry sour as well as a more tart and lighter raspberry variety. The beer averse can avail themselves of a full bar with wine and cocktails as well. Pour prices here, generally, run $8-9 per pint, which is fine given the quality of the beer. The brewery offers flights of four 4oz pours for $16, which, while not a great value, allows for sampling numerous brews. The brewery possesses the standard warehouse/industrial ambiance on the inside with plenty of seating. Ordering occurs via QR code, though if you have questions about a beer or want to sample before buying, the bartenders are helpful and accommodating. The outdoor component of the space is huge with plenty of outdoor tables and chairs, though these are mostly uncovered which is not ideal on a sunny day. All told, any hazy IPA fan should definitely visit this newer addition to the Philly beer scene, and the large space and good service make it a good option for groups.

Awhile back, we heard a new brewery was taking over the old Goose Island spot and were excited to check it out. It was a fine Friday afternoon, and thought it would be the perfect time to go grab a couple of beers and sit on their lawn with our dog. When we arrived, the place was packed. All the tables inside and outside were occupied, and there was a long line at the entrance. Seeing the long line, we wanted to leave, but also thought it was kind of a hassle to go somewhere else for drinks. A few people including me asked the bouncer if we weren't waiting for a table and just wanted to buy a six-pack to go enjoy on the lawn, did we still have to wait in the same long line, and he said yes. So, we waited. Finally, we made it inside and got a couple of beers. Side note: Most of the beers in here are IPAs and the ABV for these beers are definitely higher than your regular IPAs. Then, we went and found a spot to sit with our dog. Around us, I noticed A LOT of cigarette butts littered along the perimeter of the brewery, which really bothered me. You've had this space for a few months now, can't you just clean it up a bit? The beer itself was okay, personally I don't like IPAs and certainly will not be coming back to sit on this cigarette butt-littered lawn.

Great flavor but not enough alcohol! Food was ok for bar food! Very open space was airy and spread out - great relaxed vibe. Update: noticed that certain minority customers weren't treated the same by staff. A bit disappointed and probably won't be coming back.

Other Half Brewing in Philly! Great spot for drinks and dinner. Conveniently located across from the Fillmore and Brooklyn Bowl. Large TVs at the bar, it's a great spot to watch the games. I tried the Coffee stout, Mosaic IPA, grilled cheese & fries. Enjoyed the atmosphere, menu, and service!

I stopped by other half brewing, for a couple hours one night, and I don't regret it. The beer was good, food was even better, and the service is great. If you're in the area and need a quick beer and snack, I would definitely stop by and say hi to you guys.

I love Other Half beers. They are honestly my favorite and this is coming from a girl who doesn't love beer. I actually, crave their oat cream ipa beers from time to time. They have a nice creaminess to them and I love how refreshing the beers are. This Other Half location is huge. There is a ton of indoor seating and they did have outdoor seating, but it was way too cold for us. I would have enjoyed it outdoors if the weather was nicer. All in all, a great place to go to get beers!

Absolutely the best hazy IPA's in PA. Great customer service as well. Delicious food. Best part about going to Other half Brewery is that it's also DOG FRIENDLY.

The best hazy ipas we had while in Philadelphia!! Easy to order off QR code once seated at a table- lots seating both inside and out. We were eating elsewhere but the food options looked promising!

Great range of beers with interesting flavors! The line was a little long on Saturday but we were able to get inside after 20 minutes. The Cannibal beer was soooo good tasted like a beer-mimosa!

I've been to the original Mecca of Hop Heads in the Bronx... and let me tell you, parking difficulties here pale in comparison to trying to go to the Big Apple... Found a little lot on Spot Hero about 1/3 mile away and made dinner reservations at nunu , and well Other Half here we are. I was never able to enjoy a draft pour in the Bronx, because... i was unable to park anywhere remotely close in order to have a beer, it was always a fun game of one of us circling the block, the other running up and getting cans, and then running back to a double parked car with angry New Yorkers honking at us. This place was set up nice, had a huge out door area which was dog friendly and a had a huge regulation size corn hole play area. Ordering was super easy, QR code on your table click what you want, and I kid you not, the beer/app was at your table faster than you could even consider being possible. Everyone was friendly, my girlfriend and I both had to go orders, and they combined them for us, and we let them know we'd back in about an hour/hour and a half, and the guy remembered me, got my order and away I went, to our slightly illegally parked/still running with someone in the driver's seat parked car. Staff was awesome. Beer was awesome... Parking was questionable but doable if you find something on SpotHero or get lucky with on street parking.

I had a really nice experience visiting the brewery with friends on a Saturday night. It was packed but even without a table you can order at the bar. Better yet, if you get a table they have a QR code ordering system when you're ready for your next beer or want to add food. Everything came out fast despite the crowds! Service was also all very friendly throughout our time there. There was a huge range of ages from families with children to younger drinkers starting their night. They have multiple tvs which were on sports at the time. A few friends got food and said it was very good, but a little pricey for smaller portions. The exception was the fries, which was a huge portion. I don't drink beer but they had a cider available and I believe some non alcoholic options. Overall we would definitely come back, especially in the summer for the large outdoor space!

A great spot with awesome beer. The staff is very friendly. It's a great spot to sit outside and soak up some sun, or watching sports inside on their many TVs.

Outstanding beer selection, and some very good food options! Highly recommend this spot for beers and/or grub pregame if you're heading to a concert at the Fillmore or Brooklyn Bowl

Great beer, good food and outstanding service. Everything is ordered at table via app all comes out super quick. Fried chicken sandwich was solid as was the cheese steak, which came served on a Sarcone's roll (I think). Give it a shot before a show at the Fillmore or Brooklyn Bowl.

It's not easy to find for first time to me. This is a very laidback brewery spot. My friend said it offers the best beer. I have a sweet tooth so I ordered Peach IPA. I was amazed by the similar taste of real peach juice! It's a great spot to catch up with old pals or just enjoy a happy hour by yourself!
