Zero Gravity Brewery

It's a big brewery, considering Burlington's size, and coming on a weekend often means breweries' bar stool seating areas are full. That was the case here. No problem, because there is plenty of other seating available. Snatched a comfy chair, a hoppy pilsner, a hybrid lager, some fries and dip, and a book and melted through a few chapters of Vonnegut. Good overall experience.

I ahd a delicious Belgian ale bottle. It's price is the same whether you drink in-house or take it to go. I definitely expected an up-charge for on prem consumption. Fries were delicious, steak and cheese was delicious and served on maybe the best roll I've ever had.

Small, but incredibly delicious food menu. Excellent selection of craft beers. I'm more of a lager and pilsner drinker, and they had ample options available. Relaxing and inviting seating. Great place to just sit, sip a beer, wine, or mixed drink, and relax or meet up with friends. Parking could be considered a bit limited.

Enjoyable stop toward the end of a bike ride. Loved the Duck Duck Juice - juicy IPA but not too sweet. Hubby liked the Little Wolf pale ale as well. Friendly and efficient staff. Great brewery in the midst of several in Burlington.

Heard amazing things about this brewery from friends and stopped in randomly today. The Strawberry Moon was one of my fav sours I’ve had in a long time. The bar staff was so lovely, especially Amelia. Looking forward or coming back in the fall and trying the food. A Burlington gem!

The best brewery on our beer trail in Burlington. Their food was really good and the ambience there was amazing. We’ll definitely be back there on our next visit.

This brewery was recommended by one of my friends who lived in Burlington for 4 years and she described it as " the best brewery in the world" and, it did not disappoint!!! The service was really fast and we loved to be able to pick our own table! We sat outside and it was so pleasant and relaxing to be outside! The tables are by rows of pretty flowers overlooking the street and, on this gorgeous day, it made for a wonderful experience! The food was also delicious! Highly recommend the rice bowl!!! Can't wait to come back to try more of their drinks!!!

After trying all 4 breweries in the area I can say that this was my favorite. It’s nothing against the others, as they all had quality brews but this appealed to my taste and appeared to have the best quality. Don’t miss this on your own personal tour.

Rare is the case for me to give a 5 star rating to a spot, but this brew pub earned it. I came across it on my way to Montreal and it was the perfect spot to grab some lunch. They offer wide assortment of non-alcoholic brews on top of the fully leaded stuff. My steak sandwich was sooooo good and the space is HUGE with an assortment of games and plenty of seating. Although the parking lot is small, I was told that there is street parking and spots over at the chocolate store. I may just have to schedule a return visit to Burlington just so I can come here. Yup.

Awesome brewery right outside of Downtown Burlington. They have a huge beautiful porch and a really cool inside set up. There is a variety of seating options to accommodate groups or single diners. The beer list is great but I wish there were wheat beers! The few we tried were pretty good though! The menu has a wide variety to fit everyone's needs and is pretty impressive for being a brewery! The mushroom koji burger was vegan and seriously delicious!! Fries were excellent as well. A little pricey at $17 but worth it!

Went here while on our way up to Canada and was it worth a stop! We came at 10 am on a Thursday and they served both coffee and beer. The beer selection was great but the big seller was the waffles! As a group of four we ended up getting 6 orders of waffles! They were salty, sweet, crispy yet fluffy. We got some beer to go as well as some merch. Parking was super easy and the staff was so friendly. Will definitely be back if I'm in the area!

My girlfriend and I tried a few breweries in Burlington, and Zero Gravity was our favorite! Great selection of beers (including non-alcoholic beers), other drinks, and food! Wide variety of seating options available and great merch! I strongly recommend Zero Gravity Brewery. All ordering is done at the counter (no table service) but they bring the food out to you.

Highly recommend Zero Gravity! Such a fun spot for beers, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. The chicken sandwich was so good too. My boyfriend and I enjoyed sitting outside and the service was really friendly. Lots of great merchandise in the brewery, too! I'd come back next time I am in Burlington.

Got some beers at yet another one of the many breweries in Burlington. It happens to be across the street from another one. Zero Gravity has been a local favorite for a few years now and has a ton of beers on tap. Cool atmosphere. There's also food like typical pub fare and that kind of stuff. Came here for the beers of course. It's got a pretty big list. There's a few interesting ones to be sure. It's about $7 a pint. That's about typical for a local craft brewery like this. Certainly among the most interesting was the Smoked Kellerbier. It's a Bamberg Helles, and it's got a smoky flavor obviously. This is from the addition of beech smoked malt, which gives it a woodsy taste to be sure. Also there's food. Much of this is meaty. It's about $6 for sides like fries. They have vegan meat substitutes like seitan. Plenty of real meats of course. There's chicken sandwiches and other fried things. For sure it's a great place for getting local beers. It has a crap ton on tap. There's also food including loaded fries, sandwiches, and whatever.

Beer is great. Wide variety for anyone! Food was also very vegetarian friendly. Seitan options, etc. I had a grain bowl with tofu that was very impressive. And if you get in early enough to try a waffle - do it!

I came here for beers with my ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend. We had a great time! How's that for a hook? It's really not as salacious as I made it out to be. My ex and I are best friends and climbing partners. I went to New England to do a rock climbing route on Katahdin with her. Anyway: both the beer and the food here are...awesome! I sampled many of the beers and they were all excellent. Crisp lagers, hoppy ales, malt bombs, all done exceptionally well. Side bar: how is this not a non-alcoholic brewery? The name is the perfect NA brewery name? Maybe they also make NA beer? Update: just googled and...they do make NA beer! I would love to try it, I bet it's great!

Is your gravity brewery has some of the best craft bruise I have tried in a while. There, stout is absolutely delicious, especially the whiskey, aged stout that has a deeper complexity than any I've ever tried, and top to my list of favorite stouts ever. Your IPAs are delicious, and their logger has character that sets itself apart in a style. I typically find unexciting. This is a wonderful place for a date, or for delicious meal, with great nachos, unbelievable sandwiches, and pleasant attentive servers.

Wow, awesome food and awesome beer! Came on a recommendation from a friend who has just moved from the area. The service is provided from a walk up counter and all the employees were very knowledgeable and super friendly. The brewery itself was a great environment, with lots of seating options and bar games. We ordered the burger, chicken sandwich and coney dogs. All were amazing! Wasn't a huge fan of the garlic aioli, wish it was more of a mayonaise consistency for dipping fries. Overall highly recommend and will definitely be back when visiting again!

What a great place! We took a day trip to Vermont while vacationing on Lake George in early May. We stopped in here for a beer and a quick bite to eat. The building is awesome! It's large and industrial but they added such awesome elements to make it so much better: artwork, a mural, an incredible salvaged bar right in the middle, etc. You order at the bar area and they bring the food to the table when it's ready. We each had a beer and we split the dirty fries-they were amazing!! We still talk about them! We are so glad we stopped in!

This review is for the sober friends/ partners who don't want to just sip water and eat greasy bar food- Zero Gravity is your place! The (very discerning) beer drinkers raved about it, and there were lots of great NA drink options. They have their own hop water, which was excellent. Something on the menu for everyone. I had the chicken Caesar and it was outstanding. Several gluten free options as well. Great ambiance, excellent service. Uncrowded even on Memorial Day. Would definitely recommend- this is the place for everyone!

Excellent!!! Staff was terrific!!!! Beer was excellent and who can beat beer and waffles??? Their beer is in my local store in New Jersey and I drink all the time now. Highly recommended!!!

Enjoyed my chicken sandwich and fries. Nice outside heated area and plenty of seating inside. Order at the bar and then they bring your food out.

Waffles from heaven. Crispy outside, soft inside, lots of butter and pure maple syrup, manageable size. My new obsession.

Really enjoyed this place! Great selection of beers and drinks. I love that it's self service with a relaxed atmosphere. Lots of great vegetarian food options. We tried the dirty fries with seitan & it was SO good. Would definitely go back!

Cute brewery. Went in for a non alcoholic beer, it was delicious. Love NA beer after a long hard workout over the real stuff as a cool down. Tons of vegan options.

Place is amazing! Atmosphere is perfect! Beers were good. Non-alcoholic beverages were bomb too. Maple lemonade for the win!!!! Cheese curds were on point. Coney dogs made me feel like I was on Coney Island (never been there). Chicken sandwich was clucking great! Would give this place six stars if I could.

Zero Gravity has a good atmosphere but everyone knows it. If you come during any kind of peak time there are no seats and people seem to camp out for a while once they're settled. The parking lot is also small so you'll have to look to side streets during busy times for a spot. We tried a few beers, none were my personal favorites, and the thai lettuce wrap appetizer was good, but nothing special. Overall it's a big space but gets very crowded and everything is self-service so you do have to maneuver around a lot. It's fine but there are better breweries in the area.

Finding this place was easy, but understanding we were in the right place felt hard. I was looking for a place called the Great Northern which is this place. At least it wasn't me, as I heard someone walk in look really confused and ask the person at the register if this was the Great Northern. I am the type of person to hide my shame and not ask so I'm glad that got resolved for me. This is the place. In that mistake, there are a few others on the website that we fell into. When we came in, around 1145am, they were not serving food. They only have coffee and these tiny cutesy waffles (and of course the beer menu.) We ordered some mochas and waited for the kitchen to open at noon. The coffee here is very good. It was well worth the wait. My bf's steak sandwich was out of control good, even if it was a bit wet. It comes with a dipping sauce but it does not need it. I ordered the falafel plate and it was good. Not the best, not the worst I've ever had. We also ordered fries to share. My only hang up was the portion sizing. I felt so guilty to throw so much food away. I mean it's my mistake for ordering those delicious fries along with two entrees but it was enough to share with 4-6 people. The entrees were HUGE. However, this is quite the spot to come and hang out and have some great food and drink.

On a recent trip to Burlington, I had the pleasure of stopping by Zero Gravity Brewery. The food was wonderful and the service was equally wonderful, but the "show-stopper" for me was their selection of NA beers. As someone who has been trying to "pull some logs off the fire" when it comes to drinking, I am always braced for impact when a brewery is suggested. The brewery norm, in my experience at least, has been a bottle or two of O'Doulles in the cooler and that's about it. This is not the case at Zero Gravity. The bar staff is friendly and more than capable of making solid "mock-tails" as well. I recommend this place for food, atmosphere, and drinks...whether you're on the wagon or off.

Rounding up from a 4.5. I thought the food here was very good and they had a lot of very good drinks on the menu and the food also tasted really good. This restaurant also had some of the best root beer I have ever tasted. The service here at this restaurant was very good because all of the staff were friendly and nice and the staff were quite helpful. This location is very clean because the staff clean the tables after people sit at them. For the reasons I have stated in this review, I highly recommend you visit this location.

Great first visit to Zero Gravity, and would highly recommend this spot for great snacks and craft brew. Impressed with their Russian imperial stout (11%), which they didn't have in draft in the summer but had plenty bottled in the fridge! They age this stout in whiskey barrels, so if you're a dark beer fan, you should definitely give it a try. Also appreciated plenty of seating inside and outside, along with various games (shuffleboard, billiards, etc.). Plenty of parking too!

The beer here is pretty excellent, no complaints about that. Great ambience. The service, however, is very poor by some, not all, of the employees. My SO and I asked about the dinner special, if there was a veggie or side included. The girl at the register said, "You get what it says on there." With some attitude. Also, upon 9 PM closing time I asked the bar back if they were still serving and he gave me wise ass answers. He could've politely explained, no, sorry we are no longer serving. In addition, the $19 perch fish fry on Thursday... Two small pieces of perch on top of some corn and pickles. No side dishes included either. Very disappointing because I was really looking forward to it. The fish was actually delicious but the portions were tiny. Save your money.

Zero Gravity Brewery was stop three on our brewery hop. Maybe it was some beer fatigue, but I just did not really find a beer match here, though the space and food would draw me back. Quality: I was not excited about the beers I tried, and with a cocktail and wine list way larger than the beer list, not sure if they are either. During my visit I had the Oktoberfest, Black Cat Porter, and the Madonna. The beer list is heavy on IPAs, but I liked the non-IPAs I tried more. We ordered the Crispy Cheese Curds as a snack, which were a very nice bite, though I was not crazy about the apple cider jelly dip. Quantity: Two size draft pours, food was a decent size. Value: $6-$7 for a Draft Beer. $12 for Crispy Cheese Curds. Ambiance: Zero Gravity Brewery is located in Burlington, Vermont. They are an ideal brewery for a cold winter day. The inside is built like a cozy cabin, complete with lounge by a fireplace. Outside they have a good amount of tables, with some heaters above them. Alternative rock music played throughout our visit. Crowd: Very busy on Sunday afternoon, most tables outside were filled. Service: Drinks are quick, food is slow. Parking: Large parking lot.

Great beer and relaxing setting. At times it can be hard to get a table. No wait staff - order at the counter.

Nice place with food. They have there own parking, seating in and outside . We have a pint of there DIPA..... Madonna. Nice balance in flavor and a pint of Octoberfest. A German mar zen lager that drinks very well. Damn near as good as the Austrian lagers. ..... Maybe a sip better.

Easy to understand system when you first walk in, fast service and employees that work as a team (refreshing to see). It wasn't easy but we managed to get a table in the back room. Ordered two IPAs and then ordered food to be dropped off to us. Delicious fried chicken sandwich, a salad and dirty fries. Huge portions. Fresh food.

Food was great. Ambience is pleasant and the service was friendly and prompt. Recommend the burger and the clam chowder which were both excellent

I would love to give this 4.5 stars! The atmosphere was fun! People were playing pool, families were together in the seating areas, and the bar areas were quite busy. Also, the decor is beautiful. I would knock down 1/2 a star because there wasn't much signage or direction on how their ordering works. We walked in and saw a sign that said "Seat yourself" so we did but waited about 5 minutes until no one brought us a menu or drinks. We saw another family go up to the bar to order drinks and food and learned by seeing that is the process here. A sign or introduction when people walk in would've been VERY helpful. The food, was stellar. This was the best BLT i've had in a long time. and the fries were to die for. My husband loved the wings. We didn't order beers this time but their selection looked quite extensive. The wait staff was friendly too. I would definitely recommend this brewery!!

Everything about this place is awesome! Staff extremely nice and fast service, food delicious, outdoor patio is huge and beautiful, and nice location! Just say yes to the Dirty fries! You won't regret it! Tried Power Suit IPA and it was perfect!

Awesome brewery! Love the set up and decor! Super friendly and knowledgeable staff! Madeline was so helpful with choosing a light delish late lunch. Fried cheese curds and cauliflower wings they went so perfectly together! We are enjoyed BOTH. Their signature beer Green State Lager, cone head IPA and little wolf and put a lime on it spot

Great food and libations, had the sausage and hotdogs, washed it down with their refreshing kolsch

Great selection of beer with friendly service. This brewery seems to be one of the In breweries in Burlington VT with indoor and outdoor seating. A must visit.

I can not say enough good things about Zero Gravity. The food is amazing, the beer and cocktails sublime. Terrific atmosphere and enough space for large groups.

This place is very cute. I went for the first time with a friend and her dog so we did outside seating. You have to go inside to the bar to order. There are water stations and glasses as well for you to get your own ice water. I ordered the wings and fries. The wings were good and had a seemingly Asian inspired taste to them. The fries were also good and fresh. I wish I could give half stars because I'm removing a half star for lack of ranch. It seems everywhere in Vermont they have blue cheese and not ranch. Whyyyyyy? Are y'all like this? Anyway, I enjoyed the lavender lemonade but didn't have a beer because I don't drink it. I just like brewery's tbh for the culture. I'll check next time to see if they have a cider, though.

Good beer! Was a fun stop and enjoyed a few brewskis! Staff were great too! Would recommend

Zero Gravity is a brewery Steve and I tried out a while back. This brewery wasn't too bad. The beers were refreshing and enjoyable. Perhaps not the most experimental in recipes but enjoyable enough. We had three different beers from Zero Gravity. Our first beer was the Green State Pilsner. It was a decent pilsner with a clean, light hoppy flavor to it. Not necessarily the most memorable pilsner I've had but pretty good. Little Wolf was the next beer we enjoyed. This was a light, malty pale ale that we got into a little more versus the pilsner and was an enjoyable beer to have on the warm, summer day we were having. Conehead was the third and final beer we had and it was an IPA. Another lighter beer that we had. All three were on the lighter side. It wasn't a bad IPA by any means but again... not anything terribly memorable either. As I said all three beers were pretty light. I'd like to try some of Zero Gravity's porters or stouts and get a take on those. Perhaps another time.

Fun brewery in the south end of Burlington. Sat outside and had a few beers and shared a bowl of fries which were very good.

We visited this brewery while on vacation in Vermont. Highly recommend this place. If you see a parking lot full of cars near dinner time you know you are at a good place. We walked in expecting to have to wait since they had lots of cars in parking lot. It is a decent size place and if weather is nice they also have outdoor seating. We ended up not having to wait for a seat and sat in front of the wood burning fire place they gave that sets for a great vibe especially on a cold night. We ate and ordered drinks. We had the coney dogs which had a nice Smokey BBQ flavor to them. I also ordered the chicken sandwich. That was really tasty but was fried a little too long a bit crunchy but definitely worth the try. I had the Conehead beer which was really good. If you like Blue Moon you will like this beer. My husband had on of the stouts and really enjoyed said it was smooth.

This is the kind of place we wish we could clone in NYC, complete with the kind and knowledgeable staff, friendly guests, awesome beer (many made fresh on premises), excellent food, clean bathrooms -- the whole package. Brews were amazing: unique, brewed in a mind-boggling variety of tastes and styles, with a generous selection on tap, even more available canned. We tried the Snowbird, a really cool, unique sour ale made with grape must; the Bohemian dark, some convincing non-alcoholic beers, and others. Pours are either 10 oz or 16 oz with little variance in price ($4 and $6; both a steal by NYC standards for this incredible quality). Smaller pours are great if you want to design your own flight, but want to retain some functionality for later in the day. The food menu is a little hard to find in their website. This should give you a general idea of what they have, though there were plenty of modifications on our visit: https://www.zerogravitybeer.com/zero-gravity-taproom . Zero Gravity makes some unexpectedly excellent salads!!* [*Once upon a time, we didn't understood the appeal of cold salads in cold weather. We were so puzzled by the prevalence of cold shrimp salads at outdoor farmer's markets and food stands in the winter on our first trips to Sweden about a decade ago! But now that we've been immersed in the tradition for a while, we couldn't do without it. The kale and greens are something I feel like I need to stay happy when there's less sunlight than usual, so I tend to gravitate towards salad on ski mountains, at Vermont breweries, etc...] Zero Gravity's kale salad with chicken was truly fabulous, a generous bowl of thinly shredded kale tossed with oven roasted broccoli spears, roasted chickpeas, fried onions, a perfect amount of dressing. (I know this description does the salad no justice.) Local baby greens with cured vegetables, spicy nuts, miso-maple dressing were simple, but again well / moderately dressed and well conceived. Burgers in two editions -- one adult, one child -- were both well made with the same unadulterated, high quality beef, well seasoned, though a touch undersalted to our tastes, on beautifully toasted, fresh buns. The fries were swoon worthy -- the kind with a little skin left on, very nicely fried in a hot deep fryer, well blotted -- and came with what I'm pretty sure was straight up garlic mayonnaise (not garlic aioli). We're low brow so we doused ours in ketchup per usual. Expansive indoor seating is now available in bar rooms with high ceilings, as well as comfortable outdoor seating on the front porch under heat lamps, relatively well shielded from occasional gusts blowing in from Lake Champlain. We are head-over-heels and deeply envious of our local friends who live within walking distance of this fine establishment.

Super fun and lively place to hang out and bring your family and friends! Good beer options. Not a huge amount but what they have is great! Food smells and looks amazing!

Awesome beer, good service, great ambiance inside and also plenty of outdoor seating (plus they love dogs!)

We met up with some friends here & enjoyed a few drinks, but wish there was more to do; have some cards or board games available, or more than just the one air hockey table, and this could be a great spot! I had one of the ciders they brought in since I don't drink beer much, but our friends raved over the Madonna & highly recommended it. They also split an order of fries; massive portion & very tasty. Parking is pretty limited though, so be prepared to walk a bit.

We came for a few beers and happened to want food as well, very pleasantly surprised by how awesome it was! The burgers were fantastic and the fries were delicious - definitely recommend coming here for drinks and food.

A really unusual find: a brewpub restaurant with many different seating and eating areas including two walk up bars, a game room, family room, outdoor seating. The beer selection is extensive though all Zero Gravity but there are beer alternatives as well. I enjoyed a flight (5 3 oz beers) and some excellent food - Korean nachos were too-notch and food came out quickly

Zero Gravity was awesome. Great bartenders and they place has two bars and then a big patio out front. Great selections of beer as well.

We were always a fan of the beer. On this recent visit to Vermont, we wanted to check out the taproom. They had an outdoor setup but it was too busy and we decided to just bring the food back to our hotel. The food was excellent. Definitely one of the more creative and substantive food menus I've come across in a taproom. Would certainly go back again in the future.

The waffles are out of this world, especially paired with a porter. The interior is also exceptionally well done. Very comfortable place!

Was able to sit on the patio with our whole family, dog included. Service was great and so was the food and drink!
