3/5 because the buffalo chicken dip was just blended unseasoned chicken & the margarita slushy was basically straight tequila (was really hard to drink). The beers that were had at our table were great, but the food is hella mid.

Beers were good. Food was typical bar food. The Brussel sprout grilled cheese was delicious but greasy. Liz Stoudt makes way better bretzen. I would give it another try when I was less tired.

Always love coming here! Plus it's great with the outside part on the side when the weather is nice. We brought our dog, enjoyed a couple flights and had a great time.

Top notch service and the beer aint so bad. Its really a pleasure everytime I visit. Only draw back is nothing. "Fat drunk and stupid son is no way to go thru life". Please drink responsibly.

Without a doubt this is my favorite brewery in Philly. This place will go toe to toe with any brewery in the nation with their rock solid line up any day of the week. Their seasonal brews are insanely creative and good and go quickly! All year long this brewery will pique your interest and keep you coming back for more.

You don't know what you're talking about if you believe the beer here is something special, it just isn't. Loud, bro'ish atmosphere. Good for 25 year olds and below.

Always great beer! I mean that's why you go out to a brewery right? We had a reservation and were sat right away. The tent was comfortable, with several heaters going. There was seating outside the tent too with no heaters and people looked happy to be there, but I was glad for the warmth. The menu is limited to some apps and a grilled cheese sandwich. They were all pretty good, but just don't expect to come for a meal - it's all about the beer here!

The brews and soft pretzels were excellent. Service was sub par, mainly because it seemed as if they were under staffed.

Corny environment. Alright beer. Go there if you’ve never been to fishtown and are not looking for a genuine neighborhood experience. The food is subpar as well. They care more about the first impression on the new customer then the quality of their product

The beers and chips and salsa were excellent but the waitress never came back to the table after the she gave us our first beers and we had to ask another sever to give us our check.

The outdoor seating area was packed on a Saturday night at 6pm. If you want to be 6 feet away from other patrons this is not the place to be. They have 90 minute reservations so they can space parties apart with time for cleaning but we waited in line behind a party of 10 that somehow got all seated together. We didn’t even go in because it felt like being in a cage with 200 spring breakers.

They don't take cash, and understaffed. The bar menu is a joke, don't go there hungry. They do brew great beer, that's all.

We visited the beer garden about a week ago and were very pleased with the reservation process, 90 minute reservation, cleaning and social distancing. Yesterday, however, was a completely different experience despite recent updated/more strict regulations regarding COVID, bars, and restaurants.
We were standing behind a party of 10 people, openly drinking white claw, at least 2 of them not wearing masks, waiting to be seated together. The beer garden was packed and the 30 minutes in between reservations between cleaning seemed to have been eliminated as people we’re leaving well after 6 and we couldn’t even check in until at least 10 after. We were very disappointed and felt unsafe and left and will not be back until things are being handled more responsibly. Other places are doing things much more responsibly. They do have excellent beer though!

Terrible owners. Literally I've met some of them. Super entitled and super rude people. The beer isn't even good enough to make up for how rude and generally disrespectful way they go around and talk to bar and restaurant employees.

Was visiting Philadelphia and thought I try a microbrewery. This place did not disappoint. Super packed on a Saturday night but great craft beer. I had “Complete the Process” an imperial double ipa that was smooth. The food was well made. I had the tomato caprese sandwich. Would visit again. Keep it up guys.

Grabbed an empty table that was covered in beer and empty glasses. Staff member eventually cleared glasses but didn't come back to wipe the table down. We had to go up to the bartender and ask him to wipe it down. We tried a flight and purchased a pint of our favorite at last call. About 15 minutes later we had managed to get about 1/3rd of the way through it before a visibly intoxicated staff member, Samantha, started clapping in our faces and yelling we had to go. My fiance went to use the bathroom before our long uber home. Samantha circled back within a minute of yelling at us and continued to yell and clap at me that I had to get out. I explained I was waiting for someone in the bathroom, she told me to wait outside. I noticed several staff members chugging beer at the host stand on my way out. Not sure what the last call/closing policy is but the inebriated staff members did not handle it professionally. Decent beer but unfortunately the staff ruined the experience and the brand for us.
