Sideward Brewing Co.

I’m still new to the Orlando area, and I keep hearing people talk about Sidebrew. Decided to take myself there today and it’s such a great place! Everyone is super nice here, the restaurant both inside and outside is super clean and well kept. I had the chicken Caesar wrap and the mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was very tasty with an interesting flavor (not bad interesting, just different than your standard Mac in a good way!). The chicken Caesar wrap was phenomenal!! So tasty and perfect. Definitely will be coming back!✨

Food is fabulous. Potato salad the best. Music is too loud and often horrible. Parking is a crap shoot. Not enough space for all the business in this location. I think employees for ALL 3 businesses should park elsewhere. Make a deal with TJ Lee or something. I have driven off simply because there is no parking. The food is fab - so I keep trying to make it work.

Orlando has come a long way over the past decade when it comes to brewing. I remember a time where there wasn't a single brewery and now we have a strong community with quality beer all over the metro area! Today however, I think Sideward just became my #1. I love beer of all styles, but there are a handful that you don't see too often in Florida, especially during summer months. Today I was blown away by three very non-standard beers! First was Carburetor. This was particularly impressive. I can count on one hand the number of times I've had a Florida made doppelbock, and this one rivaled the big ones coming in from Germany. Fantastic! Next was Dogs of Society which is an American barleywine. Complex and intense hops and malty sweetness balance each other out into pure magic. Last was PB&O&B which is a barrel aged stout with peanut butter and Oreo cookies. This was pretty insane! I'm not a pastry stout guy but geeze, there's no way to not like something with this much flavor. Such a killer experience. I can't wait to come back again! Pro Tip: they don't do flights at Sideward, but you can get 5oz pours of any beer.

It was very clean and everyone was so attentive and friendly. They have the BEST Cheese for their pretzels10/10. * I had to update my post because we went back and had the Shrimp tacos with the Pineapple Upside Down cider was OUTSTANDING! The shrimp was cooked Perfectly. The outside was crispy and the shrimp itself was so tender and fresh.

Came just for the ceaser wrap and ended up loving everything we ordered. In addition to the ceaser wrap we ordered the special italian beef sandwhich and the pull pork sandwhich and everything tasted delicious and fresh. It's family friendly meaning you can bring the kiddos if they like items on the menu to eat and drink. The young women who took our order was so polite and attentive to our little guy and it added that much more to the experience.

My wife and I love to go to breweries especially ones that serve food. We tried a few beers, all were good. We ordered the pretzel with cheese and the chicken ceasar wrap. The pretzel was perfect. The cheese had perfect texture but I thought the cheese needed more sharpness. The wrap was nice and big. We love that they seared the wrap. The hot and cold combo on a ceasar is great. The wrap could use more dressing. The mac n cheese was fine the bow tie is something different.

Always an outstanding experience at Sideward. The beer is incredible... Love their IPAs. Food and service are equally as amazing...love the tempeh Reuben with the potato salad--dream about it! If you're in the Orlando area, you have to stop by.

Sideward Brewing Company is an absolute gem! With over 20 different beverages to choose from, including beers, ciders, cold brew coffee, and more, there's something for everyone. I highly recommend trying the "Punks" and "Gunner" beers—they're fantastic! The food is equally impressive, with a variety of mouth-watering options. The large hot pretzels with hot cheese are a must-try, and their selection of sandwiches, including pulled pork, roast beef, BLT, turkey, and muffaletta, all look delicious. The sides, like hummus, boiled peanuts, coleslaw, cucumber salad, and mac & cheese, complement the meal perfectly. The service is top-notch, even though it's counter service. You order at the counter, and the friendly staff, like Tim, will bring your food to your table. Tim was especially helpful and added to the great experience. The ambiance is relaxed and inviting, with both indoor and outdoor seating options. The indoor area is comfortably air-conditioned, while the outdoor seating is nicely shaded—perfect for a casual, enjoyable meal. Overall, Sideward Brewing Company is an excellent spot to unwind with great beer and food. Whether you're stopping by for a relaxed afternoon or an evening meal, you're in for a treat!

After seeing so many TikToks raving about this Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap, I had to try it for myself--and I'm glad I did! Parking is super easy with plenty of space, but indoor seating is limited--maybe enough for two parties of five max. Luckily, there's plenty of outdoor seating with a covered patio and ceiling fans, so you can enjoy the Florida sunshine comfortably. This is an order-at-the-bar type of spot--they give you a number, and the food is brought out to you. So don't expect full table service (no waiters or waitresses). The service is quick and everything is made fresh to order, which I appreciated. Bonus: It's pet-friendly, so feel free to bring your furry friends along. Now to the food--I ordered the Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap with a side of cucumber and feta salad. * The wrap was so good! Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. They lightly press the tortilla to give it some warmth without making the salad inside soggy. Loved the crunch from the croutons inside the wrap--it's a nice touch, but just a heads up: this could be a choking hazard for small kids or tough for anyone with dental issues. * The grated Parmesan on top was fresh and delicious, but I would've loved more cheese inside the wrap too. (Cheese lovers, speak up when ordering!) * The side salad was disappointing. It was dry and bland--no dressing unless you ask. They only offer Caesar or balsamic on the side, and the balsamic was super watery, not what I expected. The Caesar, however, was solid and definitely tasted house-made. Overall, I'd 100% go back for the wrap but probably skip the cucumber and feta salad next time. And if you're picky or like your food customized (like me), just make sure to ask when you order.

Moon Boots IPA. Good one. The sandwiches & salads are not of the norm. Maybe they went too far on being "something different". Recent stop for lunch they were out of the Chicken Caesar and Caprese. Anything else on the menu does not appeal to me. So I ended up just having a beer & eating elsewhere. The staff were non-attentive during my most recent visit. No one said boo to me as I wandered looking for a menu. Barely said two words when I ordered ‍. Parking isn't the easiest thing to find in that area if their lot is full. There are more interesting people who work here tho. Still worth a pint stop

The fact that I have not written a review for this place until now is appalling. Sideward is one of my favorite breweries in Orlando, between the amazing IPAs, food, and close location to home...it's a win for me. Let's talk about the food. I legitimately get a craving almost once a week for the chicken caesar wrap. If you go on any of the Facebook foodie groups, you'll see that's it's being coined as one of, if not THE best chicken caesar wrap in all of Orlando and I will absolutely agree with that. The caesar dressing is delicious in and of itself, but we can't sleep on the fact that there's little baby croutons in there to give it a little extra crunch, as well as the finely shaved parmesan cheese covering the tops of the halves. It's amazing! My second favorite food item to get there is the turkey & pesto sandwich. The sourdough is perfectly toasted for that crunch with heaps of turkey, pesto, arugula, roasted red pepper and mozzarella inside. My friend also loves both of these food items, so if she's with me we will order both the wrap and the sandwich and give each other half. It's a win win! Sideward for me, brews some of the best IPAs in Orlando. I'm a huge hazy fan and right now, the Citra-Anchovy and Yacht Money are hitting for me. You really can't go wrong with any style beer that you choose here. They also have cans of beer to take home if you don't want the party to end after leaving. There are some tables inside, but most of the seating is either outdoors on their patio at 4-tops or larger bench table seating in the parking lot area. It's not the most ideal in the really hot summer months, but they do sometimes put up tents to help shade the tables in the parking lot.

Neighborhood staple in the milk district ! This little brewery is not just known for their beers but also the food is what people rave about ! The majority is wraps but also have a creamy delicious bee cheese Mac and cheese and mouth watering boiled peanuts with diffeeenf flavors to choose from . Although it was a busy Saturday afternoon I was greeted promptly and kindly by the bartender and able to order right away . They bring your food with a number that you place at your table . There is plenty left seating indoor and outdoors with a cute relaxed atmosphere. The food came out hot and fresh ! I shared a chicken Cesar wrap with my boyfriend and we had the jalapeño boiled peanuts as well ! Will definitely be coming back.

I went to try the chicken Caesar salad wrap. They told me they don't have the Parmesan garnish which was disappointing but I still went through with my order because they assured me the Caesar dressing was house made and I'm a huge fan of "real" Caesar dressing. I also got a side of cucumber salad and a pineapple upside down beer. The wrap was bland and the dressing didn't taste house made at all. The cucumber salad was good and it had feta which I loved. The pineapple beer was really good and perfectly refreshing on a hot day.

This place is definitely known for there chicken caesar wraps. Just about everyone dining there had the wrap. They were very kind and service was quick. Some of our wraps could of used some more dressing though. They have cool shirts to buy and on display

Recently came for lunch and gave the turkey pesto sandwich a try. The sourdough bread was amazing. Greatly toasted. The filling itself was good for a turkey pesto. They have a good lunch special for $15 that includes a sandwich, beer or soft drink and chips. I thought that was a killer deal. The staff were super friendly. Would love to come back to try the beer.

The chicken Caesar wrap here is SO damn good. Literally would drive to Orlando for this lol. The Mac and cheese was also soooo so good, spiced perfectly with a great cheese sauce. The watermelon seltzer was so tasty! Pretty poppin' for a Thursday night, but they mentioned it got a little busy after the run club. Bring a location to Tampa!!!

This is probably my favorite brewery in the Orlando area. My husband and I first were brought to this place by a friend over a year ago. Since then, we have been back a handful of times for both beers and food. When you think of a brewery, you think classic but unique beer flavors. You don't necessarily think about their food menu. I'm not the biggest drinker, so let me tell you - I think about their food menu. Since coming here, we'd had the pleasure of having a pretzel, the charcuterie, the Mac & cheese, the Rachel, the cesear wrap, and the BLT. & never has it been a disappointment. If I had to choose, though, I truly believe their BLT is one of the best I have ever had in my life. It is crispy, thick bacon, fresh arugula, and a garlic mayo. I typically get mine without tomatoes, but I've seen how big the tomato slices are on others. It's also on this freshly cut sourdough bread that ties into the sandwich flavors so well. As for beer options, I got the substation- which was alright to me but again I'm not a huge drinker anymore. My husband really loved the space wizard. They have a great outdoor seating area and it has a really cool vibe of just laid back people. I like that if there's no seats, people often who don't even know each other share tables. Every brewery needs that type of option. It's dog friendly, which is great because it's a place we can just hang out and bring our pets too. The only downfall is the parking. There aren't very many spaces, but it has never shyed us away from coming because all of the positives outweigh that simple negative.

I've been here a couple of times for a craft beer off to pick up a four pack. This was my first time getting a full meal. We were exploring the pop up market and realized we needed to find something for lunch. We got the cheese board and French onion dip for the table. I got the vegetarian wrap and my guest got the breakfast burrito. The cheese board was more involved and had more options than we expected. The dip was lovely and came with delicious fresh vegetables. My wrap was excellent! I loved the roasted veggies inside! My guest loved her massive breakfast burrito. The waiter was very kind in explaining the cheeses on the board and giving a little backstory about the brewery. The dining space is pretty good size for the location. They also have a nice covered patio for dining! We will be back!

I love this brewery. Space Wizard is one of my favorite beers. The staff is amazing and has a great overall vibe. Definitely recommend!

Had a mixed experience at Sideward Brewing Co. Plenty of parking, which is always a plus. You order at the bar and find your own seat. The food menu was solid, but sadly, the beer just wasn't to my taste. We ended up eating, drinking one beer, and then heading out to find another brewery. The staff were very friendly, and it's a nice place overall. Just wish I enjoyed their beer more.

Good beer, solid food, kind and attentive staff, punk rock vibes. You can bring your dog for patio seating too. Gets a bit hot out there, but they have fans that work well enough.

Awesome experience! Let's break it down. - Beers: they had lots of variety on the menu. I love hazy IPAs, of which they had plenty of options. I started with the Space Wizard and was treated with liquid magic (pun intended). - Food: Their food seems to be a staple. I saw many people with food but no drinks. I ordered the Chicken Caesar Wrap, and can honestly say it was the best I've ever had. They make their own dressing in-house, and the sandwich had freshly shredded parm garnished over the wrap. - Space: While the interior space is a little small (3 tables that can fit 6-8), the outside was spacious with plenty of seating. You will not regret coming here.

Recently, we stopped at Sideward Brewing Company as part of a food tour with Wandering Palms. We were provided the pretzel with a couple of dipping sauces. Our favorite was the warm cheese. The pretzel was soft and warm, but a bit salty on top. I don't drink, but when ordering alcohol, I didn't like how they took ID's of younger adults in our group but not everyone.

First time here today and it was fantastic. The boiled peanuts were perfect and that Mac/Cheese was possibly the best I've had. Forgot to take a pic because I ate it too fast. Definitely a must if you come here. Staff/Service was excellent! Just a fun vibe all around!

If you're looking for a fantastic lunch spot, this place delivers every time! Their BLT sandwich is simply outstanding--perfectly crisp thick bacon, fresh arugula, garlic mayo and juicy tomatoes come together so perfectly on the toasted sourdough bread. It's a classic done right, and every bite is delicious. Their lunch special is a deal you can't pass up: a sandwich, chips, and a beer. It's perfect for a laid-back afternoon. And let's not forget the "Punks in the Waiting Room"--it's a must-try! Whether you're dining solo or with friends, this place nails the vibe and the flavors

One of not many craft beer places that is still around. And what a hit! It's a fun atmosphere and a friendly staff. They are kid friendly. We have gotten a: "High Volume dirty diet" sour, "men only get flowers at their funeral" stout, "Yacht money" hazy IPA, pretzel and cheese, cucumber salad with feta and Banh-mI pulled pork sandwich. Our son had pineapple soda and a pretzel, all of the food was great quality and beer is DELICIOUS amazing service. Nice prices and a lot of seating (indoor and outdoor) totally will be back . Also dog friendly

I will join the chorus of Yelp Elites with their 5-star ratings! My friends selected this place to meet for happy hour on Friday and I was impressed! The place is spacious with both indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside, as most patrons did that night, enjoying the beautiful evening. The place is a great place for dog watching, too. Almost everyone at our table was enamored with a light grey Great Dane, who got a lot of attention. All the dogs were well behaved and relaxed (just like Sideward). I tried the "Punks in the Waiting Room" and it was a well-balanced lager with a clean, smooth taste. They have some cool names for their beers from "Cowboy Jesus" to "Electric Funeral" ranging from lagers to IPAs and ciders to seltzers so I'm sure you will find something you like. Parking can be a challenge, especially during Friday happy hour, but I found street parking one block down which was not bad at all. Looking forward to the next time we all meet up at Sideward!

Newer brewery with very good brews. Highly recommend. And anothet thing, great stuff to do while there.

So good! I love the beers and the food as well. But overall it is all about the vibe!

I love the atmosphere and the food was excellent. I just stopped in for a drink, but stay quite a while. Check it out.

My vegan girl friend loves this spot for their tempeh sandwich so she was excited for me to try them. She devoured her sandwich and kept saying how delicious it is for a vegan recipe. I ordered the BLT with added cheddar and it was such a good choice! The bread is buttery and toasted well enough to hold the sandwich without falling apart. The bacon was thick and plentiful enough to share with our guy friend AND my dog. Everyone got to benefit from this sandwich and it was so filling even without the bacon. The lettuce and tomatoes were nice and fresh, the cheddar went perfect with this sandwich as promised by the friendly cashier. I appreciated the quality of ingredients as I take my veggies seriously. The inside is where all the kegs and taps are as well as a walk up counter to order. The outside patio is where you'll find about 10 metal tables with seating. It was a nice day to sit outside and people watch the market which was happening in the parking lot. Love that they're dog friendly and would return!

Cute brewery- great beers. Great selection of many different types of beers, especially several IPAs. Cool vibes. Indoor seating and outdoor patio. Cute shirts/merchandise. Clean, gender neutral bathrooms. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. We only got a couple of apps but they were great and the menu sounds interesting.

I've been here a few times. I love this place! Great beer, good snacks, and a relaxed vibe what's not to love! They have a great beer selection, my favorites are the ones they brew in house. All the snacks I've ordered here great also, last was a muffalata sammy. Yum. Sorry, I hungrily did not take a pic. Located on Bumby in the hip Milk District. Ample seating inside and out. Patio is also dog friendly. Staff here? Always great and excited to recommend a brew. If you're in the neighborhood try here! Recommend!

A staple in Orlando. Amazing food and beer. We sat on the porch with our dogs and had an early dinner. Food was delicious and quick per usual. They brought a bowl of water out for our dogs which I always love. It was a little warm on the porch even with the fans but the ice cold beer helps with that.

Absolutely loved this place 10/10! Came in and my doggo was welcome. Plenty of choices on the menu, and although I didn't grab food it smelled delicious. Perfect place to sit out and enjoy a couple of drinks. They sell merch inside and I had to grab myself a new hat and some cans to take home. Thank you Sideward, I will 1000% be back!

We have stopped here on a few different locations to get some beer from their fridge to-go. We are always greeted immediately and the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. I'm not a beer girl but my husband loves beer so it's nice how the staff is so amazing at helping you find what your looking for. They brew all their own beers and let me tell you.. these people can brew. The hubby loves a good hazey IPA and they make some delicious ones. While I don't love beer, I appreciate the bartender trying to find one I would enjoy. Sideward Brewing is located in the heart of the milk district next to the beloved Stasio's. They have plenty of outdoor seating from what I can tell. I haven't tried their food yet but it looks tasty. Parking is a nightmare in this area but be patient... you will find something. Overall a must try brewery.

Genuinely my favorite microbrewery in town. Their seasonal selections are fantastic and full of flavor (I particularly like the Too Many Teeth and the Carburetor). The food is great too. The chicken caesar wrap is the best in town, and their specials, like the wednesday italian beefs, are delicious too. The bartenders are friendly and the patio area is really nice and relaxing as well. The only downside here is the lack of parking. Sometimes it can be nearly impossible to find a spot.

Best beer in Orlando, easily!!! Great place to come as a family, date, day trip, night drinks, anything! There's outside and indoor seating. Dog friendly, kid friendly and THE BEST BEER. They also have food which is ideal at any beer spot. The merch is also a big win. It's accessible but parking gets full because it's always busy because... it's awesome! 10/10 recommend !

Really enjoyed the Banh-Mi flavor. Definitely worth a return visit. Service was quick and sitting on the patio, at 1p was not as bad as you would think.

Sundays are for breakfast burritos at Sideward. The only place in the surrounding downtown area that does solid breakfast burritos. Don't tell me otherwise.

I had been meaning to try them and so glad this time I found parking and it wasn't super busy, since it I did not realize it was close to closing! Amber took care of us and she was nice, friendly and happy to answer questions or make suggestions. We had their cider (refreshing and crisp) and one of their lagers with a hint of lime (can't remember which one) that was good. We definitely need to come back to try others and their food offerings as well!

I have visited several times and, perhaps it's bad timing, but I've rarely found a beer I could order. Not being an IPA, mosaic, citra, sour fan I seem to have little option but the ciders quite often. I do keep trying every other month or so but it has yet to work out. That being said the times I have been there the atmosphere is usually quite lively with mostly outdoor seating. I will continue to try.

Really dig the space and vibe. Knew when we walked in and saw all the cool banner designs we were in for a treat. Service was fast considering how slammed they were. It's an order at the bar and receive at the table spot. Our table was a bit communal which is nice to for casual convo in. I do appreciate them having veg options on the menu as well as full meat for the hubby.wd each had a brew but I'll be damned if I remember their names this far out but I wanted to make sure to say GO CHECK EM OUT. My partner grabbed a shirt first visit so he clearly signs off on that too :)

My favorite brewery in Orlando. Incredible patio, friendly staff, and truly some of the best beer you'll ever have in your life. Food is great, the Caesar Wrap is unmatched. Sideward also is a major hub for community in the Milk District, and is driving a lot of the local flavor.

5 years of great food and beers. Moon Boots and a Chicken Cesar Wrap with a side of Buffalo will always hit the spot. So happy to have a place like sideward in the neighborhood.

This is our second time here. I really love their mead, and it's STRONG! They also do great sandwiches, we had the pulled pork and it looks like they were making brisket for an even tomorrow. Service is order at the bar and seat yourself. Very laid back place and will be back again!

Located in the milk district area of orlando, this location has a private parking lot, ample outdoor seating and a good food menu. There is no bar seating and limited indoor seating. Most seating is outside. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, I forgot the names of the beers we tried. I did try their cider which was very tasty and they make it in house! We also tried their boiled peanuts in the traditional and Nashville spice. Both flavors were delicious! We noted allot of people bringing their dogs in soo good location to grab a beer and hang out with your pooch.

This was a very fun brewery! We stopped in here last week while in town for a conference and we had a great time. It's a very relaxed atmosphere and there's plenty of seating inside and outside on the patio. The beer was very tasty and the IPAs and fruity sour went really well with a perfect 70 degree day. Service was great as well and they were very attentive. We also had an Italian beef and a BLT for lunch and both sandwiches were filling and tasted great. We loved the aesthetics of the brewery too and their logo and designs are very fun. We had a great time and would recommend Sideward to anyone who's in the area!

I am so excited I finally got the opportunity to have a drink here. I found this brewery by accident after eating last week at Ottos next door. The seating at the brewery is a lot; outdoor seating and indoor seating. The ambiance is very laid back and modern; kind of funky and exposed brick and piping. They have food as well- I heard their sandwiches are phenomenal. I came here today to try their cider- Sideward Cider. I wasn't looking to try new beers today because it's a bit hot and beers don't sit well with me sometimes. The gentleman behind the bar was very nice! I told him I was looking for something refreshing and light. He recommended the cider! The tasting notes of the cider are crisp and clean to taste. Very refreshing and not too heavy. I'm definitely coming back to try more brews!! I recommend this place- great ambiance. 10/10

We love Sideward Brewing. We have visited before and truly love the vibes. Love the different options of beers they have on tap. The pretzels and beer cheese are the bomb!

Maybe the best local brewery I have been to. The beer is delicious. Sandwiches were delightful. It's a nice venue with a great outdoor area and plenty of inside seating. The staff were friendly and helpful. We will absolutely visit again.

Located in the Milk district Sideward never disappoints and is a solid option to grab a beer with bite. They have good variety of craft beer selections. Punks in the Waiting Room is a classic crisp lager that's our go-to. Their chicken Caesar wrap and potato salad is a #1 food option.

We came around 5 and were lucky enough to find someone leaving so we were able to get a parking spot. They share a lot with 3 or 4 other establishments so parking is sparse. We ordered the boiled peanuts and Chicken Caesar wrap. Both were tasty and I would recommend. The chicken was cold (purposely) and had the perfect amount of dressing. We sampled a few beers and were pleased with them all. You can only have the tap while sitting in house but the selection is vast so that gave us many choices. Check out the glassware. We purchased 2. Tip your bartenders well, these ladies and the guys in the kitchen are excellent at customer service.

Interesting beer selection. Love being able to get different sized pours. Wish there was more inside seating, but I appreciate the covered patio and tents outside that adds a lot more seating. Staff was helpful when trying to choose a brew. Parking is always going to be an issue at this location - few spaces, awkward shared lot - but parking on the side street is the best alternative. Need to come back and try more of their food selections.

i came here for the famous chicken caesar wrap and it did not disappoint, so delicious! the staff were all so nice and genuine as well.

Ok I just wanted to celebrate the bahn mi sandwich that I had. I have driven past this place for a year watching all the ppl sitting outside thinking I wouldn't be able to find a spot to sit when I got there. Luckily on a Friday night found parking quickly and was able to order and sit down within 5-10 minutes with ordering drinks and food. But let's get back to my sandwich... I have been thinking about it for a few days.

I've been to Sideward Brewing a handful of times for the drinks and beer, but this was my first time trying the food. What drew me to the food, was the Chicken Caesar Wrap. I can't seem to find a good Caesar Wrap anywhere in Orlando, so I wanted to give this place a shot. The Caesar Wrap was pretty average. It was nothing special and was lacking chicken. I decided to get a side of the Beer Mac and Cheese too. It was cold and not warm at all! I did enjoy the flavor the Beer cheese added. To top off the food we ordered a Punks in the Waiting Room Beer. It was an easy drinking beer. I am still on the hunt for a good Chicken Caesar Wrap in Orlando. I wouldn't recommend Sideward Brewing for the food, but the drinks are good.
