My husband & I ate lunch here. The reason I say this is a mixed review is because I had an excellent meal however my husband did not. My pulled pork sandwich was very good. My husband had a crab cake. Typically my husband eats anything and everything. There have been times I have asked about his meal and he... More

We were in the area for a little weekend get away and this was suggested as a general place to meet up with some local friends. We are connoisseurs of beer and love to taste in every town and country we can. That being said, the beer was fine. After we ordered a sampler we did find one that we... More

My beau and I love coming here for a substantial and tasty dinner and yummy local brew after a long day of home improvement - we've been here all dressed up, but it speaks to the flexibility of the atmosphere that we can also show up at 7:30pm mostly cleaned up and in rough-looking shorts (with evidence that we've been...

The BrewWorks is always busy with people enjoying a good beer and good food. They have a large menu. Lots of appetizers, salads, burgers and local specialties. Sometimes they have limited brews or charity casks and they are always sold out quickly. If you are in the area you would not be disappointed if you go here.

My husband and I were in town visiting family and found this restaurant after a recommendation from our hotel. Great atmosphere, a lot of character, but not cramped. The beer itself was good - we both had house beers, but they had a great assortment of beers from around the world. We opted for the wings. Fantastic! Nice and crispy... More

This busy pub serves a nice array of beers. Burgers are great, they could improve the fries. The dirty martini one of our party ordered was the best of the trip.

The food was good. The beer was great. The restaurant is cool. With all the rigid pipe the booths are made of, it feels like you are in the break room of a brewery. The service was good and the t-shirts were reasonably priced at $15. I would stop back again if I was in the area.

Beer aficionados will be happy here. On my most recent visit I didn't eat but quaffed the liquid bread brewed on site. I tried the Steelgaarden Wit, Big Nose IBA and Insidious Imperial Stout. The Steelgaarden really hit the spot after a very muggy day of work. The Big Nose is an India Brown Ale, a nice twist on an... More

I have been to Brew Works a number of times since I moved here about 6 months ago. I like that it has something for everyone. It has a cool atmosphere, a flexible menu, and a decent bloody mary - which is important! I have been there with work colleagues, friends, fiancee, etc...and have always found the atmosphere comfortable and... More

We usually take a trip around the holidays onto Bethlehem, and usually stop here. There always seems to be a wait. The food is better than most bar food and I would say separates them from the corner bar . The prices are a little high. Like the area and décor for the Brew Works. Decent selection of drinks.. We'll... More
