Always driven by this place. Decided to try it since a friend recommended it. I liked the selections they had on tap. I also enjoyed the half inside half outside seating they had to offer as it was a beautiful day outside the day I went. Friendly service. The food was pretty good as well. I went with the P.G.C. wasn't let down. Will definitely return in the future.

Great beer. Careful with the Banh Mi, had me on the toilet from 7am-1pm the next day...

The Hazy IPA are some of the best Florida has to offer! Great atmosphere and good sandwiches when you get hungry. Awesome!

Food was mid at best and over priced for what you get, beer was amazing tho. Way too many kids here at night. Hard to relax there and to attempt to have a nice date night would be about pointless here

Why is the “spicy jalapeño” boiled peanuts made with bread and butter jalapeños? That’s the opposite of spicy. At least mention it in the damn menu.

It’s great to have so many craft breweries with food. Usually, it is in the form of independent food trucks and trailers in the parking lot, but in some instances the brewery is also a full-service restaurant. And in rare cases, they do exceedingly well at both.Like Sideward Brewing on Orlando’s east side. It’s a place we keep coming back to. I started with a flight of five. Actually, they don’t do flights in the traditional sense. Instead, they’ll pour as many five-ounce glasses as you like. You just don’t get a fancy holder for all of your glasses.I went with short pours of Moon Boots (7% ABV, and a longtime fave), Voidless (6.6% ABV and an IPA brewed with—among others—the Nectarine hop varietal everyone is talking about), Goat Snacks (5.7% ABV, a Weizenbock with hints of banana and bubblegum—no kidding), Words + Images (5.6%, a Winter Lager), and Brap! Brap! (6.6% ABV, a hazy IPA brewed with “experimental hops”).Of these five, I loved the three IPAs. The Winter Lager is a tasty seasonal (that’s code for “one and done”), while the Goat Snacks is—well—perhaps best left for the goats. Not a fan. Sorry.We also ordered what turned out to be one of the best brewpub pretzels we have ever eaten. Sides of beer cheese, spicy mustard, and pimiento cheese provided a variety of dippings. This is almost a meal in itself.But we saved ourselves for a main course, which was the vegan Tempeh Rueben (Marinated local tempeh, kraut, house 1000 island, vegan swiss on sourdough) for step-daughter and me, and a Caesar Wrap (House Caesar, roasted chicken, romaine, croutons & parm) for my wife. She was in love at first bite, and we already knew from prior visits what to expect with the Reubens.Sideward often has tight parking, since it is a shared structure with other businesses and a restaurant. Come early, or be prepared to park a block away and walk. But it’s well worth it. Besides, you’ll burn a few beer calories.

Stopped by for a beer and lunch. I asked the server "What's your fav sandwich?" And she said that "The BLT is the best in the city!" And of course I ordered it but in my head my thoughts were "ummm yeah, ok, it's a BLT, whatever ?"Well... let me just say, homegirl was NOT exaggerating. Good Grief, this was the most elevated BLT I have ever had. This is an absolute MUST order if you come here. It is savory, hearty and has amazing flavour!!!!

Stopped by after dinner and tried several beers with friends. Great mix of styles, and everyone liked what they got. There are wine options too.

Best pulled pork sandwich, great mix of sweet and spicy. I will eat again the next time I am in Orlando
Busy place for a reason. Top quality
Probably the best pulled pork sandwich I have ever had. Sweet, spicy and super tasty.Highly recommend this place for a casual quality meal that is not a chain.

Beer is good, food is better! Best soft pretzels I've ever had. They're served with beer cheese, mustard, and pimento cheese. The caesar salad wrap is the best I've ever had (amazing dressing). Outdoor patio is great for meeting up with friends and talking. A must-go when you're in the milk district.

By far my favorite brewery in Orlando. IPA's are on par with Treehouse. Food is fantastic too. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

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.
Great lagers!
