Pioneer Tap House

This place is awesome. I’m living to Brownwood shortly from the Austin area. I came for the day to check out the area with my mother in-law. We went into Pioneer and the staff was super friendly all really nice people. The food was great and the beer was great. Really glad there’s places like this in the area. My wife and I will certainly be here often once we get up there.

I LOVE THE EXPERIENCE!! Me and the coworkers are here for a week and came by and it was amazing. The food is great the merch was fire and the beers and vibes were just wonderful. HIGHLY recommended to anyone who is passing by and need something good to eat with great people. Thank you for your amazing service!!!!

Food service, customers usually write reviews only bad service. Want share my experience today. I’m Deaf, passing through Brownwood, house hunting. Food? Amazing. Goes without saying. Medium pizza, half/half - Hog Honey and Chicken Diablo. Woman and man who served me, around 5PM, 5:30PM - so kind, patient. I placed order, they made sure use visual cues. Got my attention before talking so I could lip read. Service amazing. Very kind people. 10/10 anyone. Deaf person passing through Brownwood? Must recommend. Service to die for.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We only had a couple beers, so I can't speak on the food, but the service and selection of beer was excellent! A great experience and good beer!

Met the owner, what a great guy,we had a pizza and it was the best we ever had. He gave us a couple of samples of the beer on tap, I would strongly recommend stopping in here if you are in town. We are on the way back to Iowa.

Fast friendly service, outstanding food and cool atmosphere! Elotes bbq sandwich was amazing.

Passing through Brownwood and saw positive reviews and we love pizza so decided to try it out. The reviews don't lie! We had the BBQ Sasquatch, Hot Hog Honey, and a pesto pizza. We also tried the Chicken Parm sandwich and jalapeño poppers dip. Everything was served hot, the pizza crust was perfect, and the service was top notch. If you live in this town or just passing through, you have to stop by!

This place is a whole vibe, Food 10/10 The drinks? even better. My fave >>> (try the blackberry mead if your looking for something sweet) If you’re out of town, looking for a good place to grab a bite and chill. This is it. The aesthetic is very woodsy. Atmosphere is giving main character energy. (Ps also I’m so sorry I got a bit drunk last night and I’m sure I’m still sobering up as I write this review) yea! so if that doesn’t convince you idk what will!

This place is hopping on a Thursday (karaoke) night. Nice folks with plenty of beers on tap. Pizza is the way to go - we ordered several - the Spicy Latina stood out as my fave. Wings, salads, and Sammie's are also on the menu. Pretty cool crowd and decent prices. A little loud. Abundant street parking.

Passing through town we wanted a cold beer and pizza. This place hit the spot in every aspect. They have at least two dozen beer options on tap in addition to wine options. The menu has some incredible looking options, but we are a bit generic with our toppings, so we went basic. Great service from the ladies behind the counter and also the manager so spoke to patrons. It was a Sat night so football was on and everyone appeared to be having fun. Definitely a family friendly establishment. Overall, worth a repeat!

Finally tried the pizza. Came with a group and ordered a few varieties. Pizza sharing is caring! Adding a star. The pizza is great. Appreciate the hospitality and the good times.

Though I've only been able to enjoy concerts and some wine, I love this venue! Their pizzas look amazing! I've always gotten my service at the bar & even when I've had my feel of wine, they offer free ice water with my lime! Nice ambience as well! Wish they could offer alcoholic spirits too!

The pizza is absolutely amazing!! Everybody got a small(12")... so we could swap and try several!! Crust is perfect!! Service second to none!! These people love what they do.... And it shines!!!

Friendly customer service really amicable, great environment They have a next door live music events / karaoke which sound interesting - over all great music place to relax !

Typically loud inside. Fantastic Definitely in our rotation now! We had Hot hog honey something pizza , I love it! All four at our table said at different times the crust is great!

Pizzas were excellent and lots of beers on tap. Busy on a Saturday night but service was good.

Out of all the places in Brownwood, this was by far my favorite spot in town. The inside is spacious with both downstairs, upstairs, and outdoor seating. Interior is decorated well and also has merchandise (t-shirts, sweaters, hats, stickers). Pioneer Taphouse has a wide variety of beers on tap as well as ciders, wines, and ranch waters. If you're like me and struggle with choosing, you're allowed to taste the beers/ciders on tap before making a decision which is super nice. As for the food, I've tried their pizza, wings, salads, desserts, nachos, etc. They were all amazing but my personal favorite is their hand tossed Fancy Squatch Pizza. All their pizzas have a nice crunch on the outside but doughy on the inside. And when paired with the ciders/beers, it's a perfect combo! What I love about this spot is that they host fun events every week (i.e. trivia, karaoke, oktoberfest, live music, etc.) If you check out their facebook page, there are always events to look forward to so make sure to check it out! My personal favorite is the biweekly karaoke nights on Thursdays- you'll always see the regulars there and on certain nights it gets super packed which is always fun. On top of the great food, drinks, and vibes, the staff and customer service here is amazing. The workers are always so welcoming and hardworking. I also spoke with the owner several times and he even helped me jump my car during a busy night which was very much appreciated! Whether you're a local or visiting Brownwood, Pioneer Taphouse is the first place that I will always recommend!

Beer is great, service is great, pizza is top notch. Highly recommend if you're pressing thru Brownwood or live there and have never been, its a must try.

Ambiance is great. They had a packed house with great live music. We stayed in the bar area and tried a flight and some craft beers! All beers were very good! Street corn dip was yummy, and the pizza smelled great! We will have to try it next time.

Thank you for bringing high quality delicious food to Brownwood! The crust is AMAZING and I am so picky. Everyone of the staff that helped me or served me was a pleasure to meet.

Great food, cold beers!!! What else do you need. The pizzas, and wings are amazing!!

We were in town for business for a few days and we came here for dinner for two of those days because the atmosphere, people, service and food were great. The first night we had Loaded Street Fries and Wings. Delicious! My husband had one of the beers on tap and had had a glass of Cabernet from Broken X winery that was just like drinking a cab from California. The second night we tried the Pioneer Pizza which we enjoyed while listening to some karaoke. A big bonus was they are dog friendly inside! This was a good find while in the area and would definitely come back.

So good! The Long Island iced tea goes down easy as usual. The thin crust pizza and regular crust were both amazing! I had the wings they were decent, but the street corn dip was the favorite, the lime flavor was so prominent.

Best Pecan Porter and chicken sandwich. I look forward to returning from Oregon to get these again soon. Thank you

My first time visiting was last Saturday night. We had a blast! We sat upstairs and had a great view of the stage for live music. (The artist went on a little later than we were expecting so we only got to see one song performed but that's okay). We ordered two craft beers- an IPA and salted lime sour gose. Both were great! Family also ordered craft sodas and had good comments although I didn't try. If you've never tried craft beers or just aren't sure what to order the bar staff was really helpful in recommendations but also letting us try samples of a few. We got two pizzas, one more of a supreme and the other a meat lovers. Awesome pizza! Can't wait to go back and try more beers. Super fun place and I bought a t shirt

Food was great and so was the service! The ambiance of the old bank building is excellent. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming.

Great spot for some pizza and live music. Lots on tap and reasonably priced. Check out a show.

My wife and I were passing through on an evening found this place. Live music and beer can't beat the combination.

Amazing pizza! Stopped in for an early dinner. Ordered the beer battered fries as an appetizer and a thin crust pizza. Their house sauce is so good. Very herby but not overwhelming. Great little joint!

Always such a blast! Millie was our server and she was the BEST! So helpful and knowledgeable about the IPAs and house brews. Will be back!

With parents living in Wisconsin, one of the things I always enjoy when I visit up there is the neighborhood pub in each little town. I always wished that we had something like that in Brownwood...not a pool hall, not a dance hall, not a loud, rowdy bar, but a family gathering place where locals and visitors can enjoy good company, an amazing choice of craft beers, and cleverly prepared pub food. Pioneer Tap House is that place. Everyone knows each other. Kids are entertained with games and non-alcoholic drinks, while adults can visit, grab a bite, or sample something from the ever-changing beer menu. Evenings provide local live music, karaoke, trivia contests, and more. The pub is family owned and operated by some of the nicest folks you'll ever meet. Pioneer is a "must" if you're visiting Brownwood. If you're lucky, you night catch a glimpse of Bob the Squatch.

What a great place to sample Texas beers! Great pizza! The staff is so friendly and easy to talk to about recommendations to your own personal tastes. Highly recommend!

I just moved to the area and really was excited about making this my go to spot. I can't understand why if I'm sitting at the bar I need to get up and walk to the center of the bar to order a beer. I went this evening and sat there for 15 minutes with 3 bartenders and 10 people in the whole place and never got acknowledged. If I have to get up every time I need a beer then I might as well stay home and drink beer I've already paid for. Maybe I'm just a male Karen looking for something to bitch about but I think my argument is valid just saying

Can't believe I am in Brownwood Texas! This is a great vibe! Excellent beer choices and the pizza and salad are as good as you will find in most big metro areas across the country! A definite must go when back in town!!

Great food, drinks, and atmosphere! Definitely recommend! Service was great - loved that they let me try a beer sample or two in order to decide what to order. Also nice cream soda and root beer available.

Pretty good place the root beer is pretty good and I had the pizza from here it was alright better than the fast food pizza places

Really enjoy the beers and light meals we can enjoy on a weeknight. The team here is awesome very attentive and welcoming& friendly. The owner is usually present or his manager is there. The rustic building adds the charm.

Very chill place to have a drink. Great vibe and even better drinks. Beer is amazing with tons of choices

Great beer selection and live music. We really enjoyed our evening there. Staff were super friendly and helpful, and we'll definitely be back.

SO MUCH FUN! I cannot recommend this place enough. The staff, Eloy, the owner Micah, always make you feel so welcome. Karaoke every other Tuesday, and can I say wow at the talent from Brownwood! Definitely family friendly too!

Pizza was okay. Not great but not bad. The bartenders weee very impersonal and didn't interact or care to create a great experience. Had to flag them down for service. The kitchen opens at 5p but no offer to take our order prior to that. We had to ask. They talked to each other more than the customers. Disappointing. Cool environment. With the right staff, this could be a really cool place that drawer more guests.

Came here for the first time today and it was great. Customer service is great. The live music was good - not too loud. I got to try a couple selections before deciding what I wanted. Will be coming back. Here is my review on Instagram (@likeafatkidlovesfood): Everyday is a celebration, but every Friday is a good time to wind down from a long work week. I spent my time at a new local tap house drinking an Texas Honey Austin East Cider. Good live music. Great customer service. Great location. Great prices.

Everyone here is so friendly. Numerous selections & they change daily. Beautiful historic building. They have something for every taste & WINE too

Great pizza and great atmosphere. It's nice to have weekend, live music in a small town. The beer selection is fairly wide, but generally a little below my expectations due to the high alcohol content and pure craft focus. Service is never a problem and I've always enjoyed my visits to PTH.

First time here - Freaking outstanding! Ambiance - Food - Staff - Amazing addition to downtown Brownwood. I've been to pubs in England, bistros in France, cafes in old Mexico...Even spent some serious time on 6th in Austin. These guys are every bit as good, if not better.

I got nachos one time and they were horrible. They looked nothing like the picture. The chips were stale. They didn't have Nacho cheese, they threw some tomatoes on them and and a few onions and some shredded cheese. And yeah called them nachos.

We loved our visit at Pioneer Tap House! We visited on Karaoke night and it was such a fun group of people! The beer was delicious and the owner was so informative! They have regular events and it's located conviently downtown!

LOVE this place! Amazing atmosphere and equally amazing staff! A beautifully restored building in downtown Brownwood. Come check it out, you won't be disappointed!

Good beer place; they also have wine; they have some fun choices; and it's $10 for a flight of 4. Stripper Dust was definitely the best thing on tap, a beer from Abilene TX; I'm thinking it was all TX beer and wine. The prices are a little rough $6-10 for a glass; and I would have hoped for some other better happy hour deals. People got food delivered; so I guess that's the way to do it if you want to have dinner and great beer.

SO FUN! This place is a great addition to downtown brownwood. The selection of beer/ale/cider is amazing! My go to is the pineapple apple cider! It's so good! They also make their own root beer. They have Dublin sodas available as well. Great merch super trendy. Live music and food trucks on the weekends. You can rent out board games they have For Covid they are always running specials of Togo alcohol. So great specials on buying growlers, masks, tshirts, rootbeer. This is a must try in bwd.

Absolutely perfect and WAY cool! So nice to have a casual yet classy place to chillax with a great beer selection! Ambiance is incredible. Owners are SO personable and chill! Moved here from AZ. & glad to finally find a place in the Brownwood area that we can enjoy for a game and a brew!

Neat atmosphere, great service. Staff take the time to educate you on each new draft.

Friendly staff, a great selection of beer, and amazing pizzas and baked pretzels! It's a must try!

This place is a great for brownwood. The staff and owners are really nice people, if you want to try some great beers on tap with a friendly atmosphere go to Pioneer Tap House.

ended up at this place by accident... had a great time, got to meet the people that make the magic of Texan craft beer happen... service was awesome and the beer selection was impressive... when in Brownswood you can't miss Pioneer. The building is a XIX Century bank (a beauty), oh and their hats and t-shirts are awesome...

Recently opened. Loved it!!! Excellent craft beer selection, fun atmosphere and extremely helpful staff. Our group of 4 each tried a beer flight. Then after dinner later, returned to Pioneer for more! Will definitely return next time in Brownwood.
