Rockwell Beer Company

I came here today for lunch with my pup since the weather is super lovely, windy, and sunny, and it is also Memorial Day weekend! The staff are prompt in getting your orders for food and drinks! I ordered their smash burger with llama fries and Crisp Chino beer (which was recommended by one of the staff). The food was decent, and the beer was light and refreshing, perfect for today’s weather. The ambiance of the place was open, clean, and inviting. The outdoor patio area is pet-friendly, and it has outdoor patio umbrellas to give you shade if you sit outside to enjoy the weather or come with your fur babies.

I was at Rockwell Beer Company recently to celebrate my cousin's birthday. I don't drink, so I can't comment on the beer. The food, however, was good! I enjoyed The Rockwell burger along with the llama fries. The bacon jam on the burger was a tasty touch. I did enjoy the fries, but they might have had even too much sauce on them. Half of them got soggy before I could finish them, and I had to use a fork. They were most tasty, just messy. The building was cool and there were lots of TVs for enjoying sports. I'd definitely come back!

Rockwell Beer Company offers great beers, and I particularly loved the sour they had on tap. It wasn't very busy during my visit, making it an ideal spot to try the buffalo fries and explore their nice selection of food. The atmosphere has great vibes, perfect for meeting up with friends.

Excellent! I loved the burger and beer, but the staff was amazing. I forgot my reading glasses and my arms were too short to read the menu so the bartender handed me his glasses. Great place to visit.

I would consider this a place for drinks, not food. Very small menu. The kitchen seemed to be the size of a closet. No condiments are available without going back to the bartender and feeling like a bother. Soft drinks come in a can, so no refills. Very cool looking place. Just think that it was the wrong choice for lunch.

Very cool place to have a beer and a snack. We loved their burgers and their fries, they are pretty good for a brewery. They are pet friendly if you sit outside. Loved they music and ambience too.

It was my second time coming, and I was told the burgers were amazing! And so, I tried a burger and I was not disappointed. The fries were also delicious being a nice crispy, shoestring style with a hint of seasoning. I ordered one of their gin cocktails, but I can’t remember what’s it’s called :( Rockwell is set up to where you order food and drinks at the bar, seat yourself, and then head to the kitchen to pick up your food. It’s family-friendly and good for groups of up to 12ish. We will definitely be back!

Nice space with modern design. Staff wasn't overly social or welcoming, but they were polite. Enjoyed the new in-house food menu. Bit of a bummer that the tarot reader on 1/24 spent about an hour with a single person, so we weren't able to have an opportunity for ours, which was the reason we chose to go that night. (Instagram listed readings would be limited to 10 minutes.) Rockwell can't be faulted for the tarot reader though. Would definitely return for food or other events.

Great cheeseburger and fries lunch special, for just $8 (if I remember correctly). Very good burger, and excellent fries. And there's always a good selection of different beers on tap.

I haven't been to this brewery in forever and a friend suggested it and I was thrilled because I have been missing out. The beer list is very unique and interesting. I love the variety of styles of beer. I tried one of the sour ales and it was delish ! We sat outside by the fire pit and I loved the ambiance. The inside is very large and has tons of space so if you have a large group, this is a great place! I need to try the food next time because it looked good.

I do not drink beer and going to breweries is usually something I dread because usually there is not a good selection of non- beer drinks. This simply not the case for Rockwell! They have exceptional cocktails (that change with the season) and a full bar for non- beer lovers. This place has such a fun environment as well and is great for big groups.

I have been wanting to go to this brewery for quite awhile. I often drive by and see people on the patio having what looks like a great time. My husband and I finally visited on a Friday night. First the good part! The place is very trendy and fun atmosphere. People are dining/drinking and playing board games at the table. The patrons ranged from couples, to tables of adults and families with young children. There is a corner of the bar stacked with board games. Music is playing. However, the place is large enough you can comfortably have a conversation. You order your food/drinks at the bar. I ordered the Patio Potion which is a gose with grapefruit. My first taste, I loved it. But, it ended up do tart that my husband had to help me finish. Now, the not so good part. My husband ordered the double classic burger and I ordered a single impossible burger. We split an order of fries (basket size) and a package of two chocolate chip cookies. A text tells you your food is ready. We were confused where to pick up. It is a counter at the far end of the bar. The food was very underwhelming. The burgers are incredibly thin. And, the skinny fries were blah...we felt we could have gotten a better fast food burger and fries. The cookies seemed homemade and were not bad. I would suggest this as a good place to meet friends, play board games and try the brews.

I typically get the "passing clouds" beer and find it really refreshing. The outside is really nice whether it's summer or winter (they have fire pits outside). It's a perfect place whether you are with friends, family or pets. There's plenty of room for everyone. You can't miss the shipping container! I have not tried their new food menu yet, but I have high hopes as their old food menu was delicious- I absolutely loved their cheese fries

I visited Rockwell one weekend and brought my dog with me. The patio area is pet-friendly with plenty of shaded seating under umbrellas, making it a great spot to relax with your fur baby while enjoying drinks and food. I ordered their classic burger and a crisp chino beer. The burger was cooked perfectly--medium rare with fresh garnish. The beer was light and refreshing, ideal for the summer heat. I had a relaxing time here and enjoyed it with my pup. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a spot to hang out with your fur baby while grabbing good beer and food.

Really nice patio and atmosphere. My boyfriend enjoyed the beer and I really loved the cold brew cocktail. The vegan burger was not great the bread was dry and so was the vegan patty. My boyfriend enjoyed his burger. The fries were ok. I believe they normally have salads but some of the menu was not available including the salads. The service was fine. You order food and drinks; get the drink immediately, they text you when the food is ready. Overall it's a great place to sit out and have some drinks. I wasn't impressed with the food but I'd try something else next time.

This is my most favorite addition to STL in the last few years. Unfortunately it was added during my last year of medical school before I moved away, however I make it a point to come back and see these folks everytime i visit. They have an excellent selection of IPAs and even a few sours for people who dont like real beer. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. incredible staff. amazing food. perfect ambience. and in walking distance from my favorite STL neighborhood, The Grove. absolutely adore this place and cannot wait to get back.

Unassuming location in "container" buildings, this brewery has been around since 2018 - not sure why it took me so long to find it and try it, but really enjoyed my visit to this local and spacious craft brewery! Good beer variety, with decent hoppy IPA selections - am confident beer fans will find something good to try! Simple menu of hot sandwich foods and sides available; wonderful Burger, Fried Chicken sandwich and Shoestring fries to complement a cold one! Overall, 4.25 rated for me on beers, ambience and excellent food; service was efficient, just order and pay at the bar. Expect to pay $8-12 for a sandwich, $5-7 for sides or salads from Brasswell. Got a "flight" to taste a variety, then chose our favorites to order a pint! I liked their 2 American IPA's, easy to drink and not overly hoppy flavors. But plenty of good choices depending your flavor preferences. Mushroom Swiss burger was excellent, and can order single or double patties; burger was tender and flavorful. Personally, I thought the Fried Chicken Sando was fantastic if you crave fried Chicken breast with pickle, aioli, arugula and honey on Brioche - I could've eaten 2 altho not such a very healthy sando. Shoestring fries were plenty to share a basket. Now that I found Rockwell, I'll be back for another lunch-n-brew! Worth the visit, ENJOY!!

Rockwell Beer Company has been a stand out in the Grove since its opening in 2018. This has been largely due to its exceptional food offerings, spacious interior and exterior layout, and array of craft beer and cocktails. This week, Rockwell relaunched its expanded menu after taking over food operations from its former partners at Niche Food Group. The expanded menu includes casual bites such as appetizers, sandwiches and salads. To get a feel for the new menu, I ordered the Korean style fried chicken sandwich and bowl of fries. It should have raised a red flag when the employee did not recommend it; however, I went in with an open mind as the fried chicken sandwich was my favorite item prior to the shift in kitchen operations. Overall, the sandwich was edible, however, there is a notable decline when compared to the previous version offered by Brasswell. This proved to be particularly disappointing given that the price point remained the same at $25. Aside from the food, I enjoyed my experience at Rockwell. I hope they can overcome the initial challenges associated with the shift in kitchen operations.

First time here, we'll return! We used our Pub Passports for Velour Tracksuit IPA, and a porter. Both very good! Our lunch consisted of a Brat burger, Rockwell burger, and fries. The Brat burger is a smashed pork burger, tastes like a Brat, sauerkraut, cheese, mustard. The Rockwell burger has 2 patties, bacon/onion relish. The fries were thin and crispy. The bartender was very helpful, service was quick and friendly. The cool thing about this place is that it incorporates shipping containers in the building. There's plenty of seating inside, and a very nice patio outside. We've been trying to get here for years. We'll be back!

Rockwell recently opened up their own kitchen, after separating from Basswell by Niche and I visited their brewery to check out the new menu. I ordered The Rockwell Burger which included 2 smash patties, bacon onion jam, and blue cheese. There was quite a bit of bacon onion jam and the blue cheese did not go well together with the flavors of the bacon onion jam and burger. The fries were fine but nothing to write home on. For a drink, the bartended recommended the Dark & Stormy NA drink as she mentioned it was her favorite. The drink had a cough syrup flavor to it and I did not finish it. I was very excited to try Rockwell's new food menu but was sadly disappointed. They were still charging Brasswell prices but with food that was so steeply decreased in quality. I will come back for Rockwell's beer and open concept environment but will likely not be eating their food while here.

Not a big fan of their chicken here. The wings are subpar at best, there are better options out there. The chicken fingers are chewy, the breading seaparates with the meat when you pick it up. The only thing I enjoyed is their beer. The service is also prompt, although you have to pick your own food at the corner. Inside the restaurant is also a good part of this place. They have tables that are really long that can accommodate 10-12 people I think.

Great brewery, with many beer options and some drink as well as NA options. The fries are always incredible. The staff was helpful with ordering beer. Patio is dog friendly and they have nice long tables or outside fire pits .

Stopped at Rockwell for dinner on the way to a show. Food is still fantastic since they have taken it over in house. Can always depend on quick service, great food and good beer. They have good beer and a good cocktail selection, but not my favorite beer varieties in the area but always good nonetheless. Always a mix of professionals, families, and just people hanging out and enjoying the atmosphere!

I've been here a few times, never had the food. The drinks are good (cocktails are a little pricey), the bartenders are friendly, service is always great. Atmosphere is really fun. They have a nice indoor area for when it's stupid hot or during the colder months. It's big, bright, and modern. The patio is outstanding. Lots of seating and very open. If you're looking to grab a beer or drink, I highly recommend checking this place out.

The burgers here are good but the fries are amazing. I ordered a double cheeseburger but a single would have been plenty. With the fries make sure to try the garlic aioli sauce. The sauce is also good on the burger. For a brewery they have a good selection of drinks beside beer. I got the cider and it was good. The vibe is relaxed. Order at the bar and the they let you know when it's ready.

They have plenty of parking lot on both sides. We ordered our food and drinks at the bar. I got the mushroom swiss burger with french fries. The burger was overcooked and the bun was too crunchy. We have been here several times but this was the first time the burger was disappointing. However, their fries were delicious. They provided several condiments for customers to use. Definitely try their garlic aloli sauce. They do have games available for people to play and it is dog friendly on their patio outside.

There's a parking lot on both sides. Good space. Plenty of tables. In order: Fries. I'm a big fan of thin fries. Crispy tasty. Flavorful. Must get. Pretzel. Surprise how good this was. Not dry. Tasty. The cheese had good flavor. Burger. Solid burger. Plenty of onions and pickles. Bun was perfect size and texture. Great overall flavor. Bread pudding. Not too sweet! Good flavor. Caesar salad. Basic but lettuce is fresh, dressing is good. The croutons were delish. Plenty of drink options, even to go. Recommend!

Well-executed, fast casual concept with Brasswell inside Rockwell Beer Co. After lusting over shots of their burgers on social media, followed by their lent fish sandwich promotion, I knew I had to make a trip over to Rockwell. The brewery has a great, modern industrial atmosphere and service was quick and friendly. We tried the Uncle Jam (black currant sour with notes of chocolate) and Velour Tracksuit (citrus IPA) beers - both were delicious! For food, we got the fried fish sandwich and a double mushroom Swiss burger, both with shoestring fries. The Companion Bakery buns and other high-quality ingredients made for excellent sandwiches. The fish had the perfect light, crispy exterior and the shoestring fries were so tasty with garlic aioli to dip them in. I'll certainly be back in warmer months to enjoy beers and burgers on their patio!

Wow, what a great find! Daughter and son in law have been wanting to try this place for a while. Glad we were along for the visit. Great beer selection for all tastes. The appetizers were outstanding. Highly suggest the pretzel bites. They were not your typical pretzel but were so good, we ordered 2 more!! Highly recommend!!

I still think this will be a go-to place because I have gluten free options, the drinks are pretty good, and the space is great no matter what size your party is...but, the food isn't so exciting anymore. I was looking forward to trying the new menu, unfortunately it wasn't that amazing. The friends were undercooked, the burger had little flavor, and we ordered 2 different sauces but only got one of them. My drink also took a bit of time because it sounded like things behind the bar were moved around. The staff was friendly though and it sounds like there are more events happening, like trivia, so I'm sure I'll be returning!

As you approach Rockwell Beer Company, you can't help but notice the shipping containers used for the entrance. It has a quintessential brewery aesthetic, where you order your drinks and food at the bar as you walk in, passing by a large gathering space for groups. Plenty of seating inside and outside on picnic tables, with a dog-friendly patio. The beer is varied, with something to please every hops, malt, barley palette. There are also mixed drinks and on my latest visit, I had the pleasure of trying a frozen spiced slushie. The slushie was the perfect blend of autumn and summer, heralding in the changing of the seasons well. The food is good...burgers and shoestring fries. However, the last time I had the burger and fry they were both a bit too salty for my tastes, but it could have just been a fluke, as the food is usually top notch. The beer, combined with the outdoor patio and friendly crowd make for a pleasant beer drinking experience.

Love this place. If you are looking for a fabulous patio to sit on with excellent drinks, just do it. Quit reading reviews and go to Rockwell already. They have some food, but you are going for the vibe and the alcohol. They brew their own beer and they also sell it in cans they also have some fun cocktails if beer is not your thing. But I'm telling you, this is a fantastic place even if you just want to sit on the patio and watch your friends drink!

The food was really good! All of the staff seemed as if they were very happy to see you. I liked the vibe of the place as well. It's cool how they used the shipping containers in the design, look and feel of the place. Bathrooms were spotless.

One of the best patios in St. Louis for sure. I've been coming here since they opened but came to try the new food options. Wow. What an upgrade. The smash burgers are fantastic. Wings are great as well. Quality had been going down hill pretty consistently with Gerard crafts brasswell. This change was needed and the food is better now.

Neat place, great burgers! Loved the atmosphere! We will definitely go again! They had a really good dark beer too!

Always drove by this and finally glad I came. The cocktails were on point. I really enjoyed the Miami vice, the mojito was a bit tart but refreshing. I really enjoyed the pretzel bites with beer cheese. This place has board games as well! Will try a beer next time lol.

he last brewery I visited while in St. Louis was @rockwellbeercompany . They have two locations and put out traditionals like IPAs to experimental beers like a Foeder aged Doppelbock. They have partnered with Niche to put out a mouthwatering menu, provide a full bar with slushies and cocktails, and have a pup friendly patio! I split five small pours of their beers with my brewery buddy. Set the Tempo: A Dry Hopped Foeder Saison that is crisp and refreshing with a medium-low dough malt flavor, a slight oak flavor, and a spicy hop flavor / aroma. Basecoat: A Double IPA that is extremely drinkable for a double. Hop bitterness and flavor are most prevalent with low malt. Good clarity and foam retention. With how many hazys there are out there it is a nice change of pace. Patio Potion: Blackberry Ginger: A Blackberry Ginger Berliner Weisse. Medium-high tartness and medium citrus & floral aroma. A lemon acidity is balanced out by mild blackberry sweetness and medium ginger spiciness. It doesn't run from the tartness, while not reaching the point of being mouth puckering which I enjoy. Polymath: A Mixed-Fermentation Foeder Saison. Low hop spiciness (black pepper), medium oak flavor, hints of vanilla, and white bread malt aroma / flavor. Another great foeder aged Saison. Foeder Bock: A Foeder Doppelbock that expresses a medium-high bitterness with flavors that include black currant and dark chocolate. Aromas of roasted black coffee, plum, and raisins. A unique take on Doppelbock.

I'm not a beer girl, but their cocktails are excellent, the vibe is excellent, and the food is excellent! So I continue to return.

Cool place with a nice vibe! Plenty of sitting. Tried a couple beers and a cocktail, all were good and well balanced. Plus the food menu although simple was pretty good, tried chicken sandwich and cheeseburger (which was better). Don't come with fries, so get some on the side. Totally will be coming back on a great weather night like tonight.

Great modern twist to the brewery experience. Come for the great tasty beer served in delightful vessels and don't forget to grab a bite at their onsite foodie destination: Brasswell. Everything done here feels top notch. Even the bathrooms are cool. Whether chillin' inside or out, it's a pleasure to be here. Gather your friends bring some cards, drink some beer, take some pictures, eat some delicious food, make some memories. Rockwell is centrally located. If you're in the Grove, Central West End, Midtown or downtown, you can easily get to Rockwell via a short car ride. Any downsides? Well, only one that I can think of... if you are on foot it's kinda in an island of it's own. It's not in the most super walkable location. Though this consistently cool, Insta friendly spot is worth the short drive from so many close spots, if you're on foot, there may be other spots worth considering. November 2021

The Nitro Moonbase was chocolatey, malty, with a smooth nitro finish. The pretzels were fine. We really like how they toasted the burger buns.

Really disappointed by the food after the change with the food service. Under Gerard Craft, it made the place for me. The fries used to be the best- the same as what was once at Taste Bar and other Niche restaurants. Now the food is mediocre at best. The aïoli changed for the worse. My friends and I didn't even finish half the basket. Burgers used to be better too. I'm not sure what happened, or why they took a good thing and made it worse. Bring back Gerard Craft.

Can't believe it was my first time going here in four years! Such a great afternoon vibe, and the patio is a lot of fun. I went on a Friday afternoon and it was jampacked, if that goes to show you anything about how popular it is. The drink selection was awesome, they even had lots of non-beer options for those of you who drink other things. The french fries are also a must have, especially with the aïoli sauce. Will definitely be coming back soon.

Some of the best fries ever!! I got them with a side of beer cheese as well which were delicious. The place had great vibes and I want to go back and try the burger, I've heard good things!

I've been dying to check this spot out and we were in the area on a Friday evening, so we popped in. We were hoping for dinner initially, but the line was a mile long. We waited, grabbed some beers, and after finding out wait for food was over an hour and a half, decided against it. The beer was good. Didn't seem super special to me. My one complaint is I totally understood the food situation, especially on a Friday night, and I understood the meh service because they were so busy, but they refused to get me a quick soft serve. I had to wait the full hour and a half for a cone. I've worked in the food industry and I was like ??? Plz? But no luck. Felt weird that she was kinda rude about it and I would have had to wait even though it would have taken 2 seconds. I feel bad even writing this because I know resources are strapped in todays world, but, come on. The atmosphere was pretty cool. I think they had a party going on so there was literally no where to sit, but still a cool space, indoor and out. Their menu looked pretty good too. I'll definitely be back during the week when it's less crowded!

We came to Rockwell on a Saturday afternoon. They have their own parking lot which was nice. The interior has a fun industrial vibe. They have a pretty large menu of their own craft beers. We were bummed they didn't offer beer flights but they do have half pours if you want to try multiple beers. They do have a small food menu but we didn't order anything. It's good to know food is an option though. Overall I'm glad I tried them out!

The rain kept us away from the Botanic Gardens so we popped in for a drink and a snack to let the storm pass. We were pleasantly surprised to see so many families on a Sunday afternoon. Lots of multi-generational groups which was nice to see. We were happy to see there wasn't a line for food or drinks despite the busy atmosphere. I had the Vienna Lager, and my husband had the hazy IPA. Both were superb. Well balanced, smooth, and refreshing. It was mid-afternoon, and we were looking for a snack instead of a full meal. I do wish they had a few more snack options, even something simple like peanuts or crackers and a dip that didn't need to be made to order. We opted for the pretzels and beer cheese which were delicious. The pretzels are flash fried which makes them crispy and so tasty. Anything fried is always better! Our service was good and we enjoyed our unexpected pit stop!

Coming from Colorado -- the land of microbreweries and bars, the staff was friendly, there was a great selection of beers, and food is not too bad as well. I went from and IPA, to a darker beer, to a sour. If you like something, I'm sure they'll have it. We arrived pretty early (looks desolate in the photo), but the placed filled up as the night progressed.

Rockwell Beer Company, located on S Vandeventer Ave, is a noteworthy local brewery. The beers served at RBC are served out of a contemporary boxcar bar. Not only are the beers delicious, and there is a great variety to choose from, but there is a create your own "flight" option where you can sample a variety of beers in a 5oz glass. The beer is excellent, and so is the food served up at Rockwell (not pictured are the French fries with truffle mayo which is something that is definitely worth ordering). The patio outside of RBC is a popular place to sit back and enjoy a beer in the heat of summer.

Rockwell Beer Company is considered one of newer staple breweries in STL. It's very modern as the building is made out of shipping containers and the cans resemble new centric vibes. The patio is a perfect place to grab a beer, bring your dog and/or kid, and get an amazing burger to eat. The inside is usually crowded and it's hard to find a seat. I enjoy sampling a new beer every visit or stick to a staple. This week we tried the new fish fry beer, it was light and crisp. I usually prefer their tarts & sours.

Very cool atmosphere. Limited but tasty food menu. I was disappointed that they did not offer flights, only short pours.

Decent food and cool space. I've been to Rockwell many times and haven't had a bad experience. Great people and service. Giving two star due to my latest experience at lunch today. For some reason they are charging $4.39 for a bottle of Fitz Root Beer. A 4 pack of Fitz is $4.99 I'm not sure what's going on here, but I won't be going to Rockwell anymore,

I don't drink beer, but I LOVED Rockwell Beer Company. Initially, we were apprehensive about bringing our baby--not knowing if it's kid-friendly. We were pleasantly surprised to find about a dozen other babies there! They had ample outdoor and indoor seating and even a space for small business vendors to showcase their products. The ordering process was quick and efficient. Order at the counter, get a number, and begin eating in about 10 minutes. My husband liked the beer he ordered, and I loved the shoestring fries. We both thoroughly enjoyed our burgers. My chicken burger had a great blend of pickled onions, aioli sauce, arugula lettuce, and crispy chicken. The breading was not greasy at all and was similar to the breading used on catfish. While eating outside, we were able to watch an artist across the street create a mural, and our baby was mesmerized by all the different cars driving past. Overall, a perfect weekend lunch date. Absolutely worth a visit!

This is one of my favorite breweries in St. Louis! They have really good beer options. Passing Clouds is my favorite! The atmosphere is lovely. You can sit inside or outside around fire pits.

I got the lavender haze and it was honestly so delicious. The workers were very nice and I love the Christmas decorations! Sadly, there were no beignets. Nice and quiet and a great place to hang out.

When you drive by Rockwell Beer Company you do a bit of a double take. You notice that it is primarily constructed from shipping crates. St. Louis has a burgeoning brewery scene. Rockwell is a newer entry to the field. Since it has opened my wife has gone here twice with her siblings and I've gone along once. In general it is a low-key atmosphere that is great for groups. Our infant son has actually been here several times too, and it is his favorite brewery! I wouldn't take kids during peak times, but on off hours it should be fine. The indoor area is simple but functional. There is also a nice outdoor patio with a gas fire. Between the two I'd say visit Rockwell when the weather is nice enough you can be outside. There is a modest selection of food (hamburgers and the like) that can be ordered on site as well. So how are the beers? I have to say that they are pretty good. I've only tried a handful, but I enjoyed all of the ones that I had. My wife, the beer aficionado in the family, has only had rave reviews as well. I would place this brewery in the top echelon of breweries in town along with 4 Hands and Side Project.

I drive from chesterfield to get their original chicken sandwich. I'm not sure what changed, but what a disappointment!! It was over cooked and a little on the dry side. No bbq, no honey mustard to offer to get it down. I'm sorry you changed the best thing you had on the menu. I focused on the beer and it got me through. Great atmosphere, plenty of room, good brew. Good luck, Folks.
