We stumbled upon this cool brewery while walking around in downtown Springfield. Happy we did. The staff are incredibly kind and very knowledgeable and familiar with the beers and menu items. They are also patient and will help you make a selection if you are undecided. The atmosphere has a cool vibe and is kind of industrial/contemporary. The locals are very friendly as well. The beer selection is plentiful and difficult to choose just one. I’d highly recommend a flight or two of the beers for a lovely tasting experience. We didn’t order food, but from what we saw being brought out to other customers looked fabulous and smelled amazing. We truly enjoyed our experience and will definitely stop in next time while is Springfield, Massachusetts.

I'm afraid that this place is if you are going out for beer okay but food FORGET ABOUT IT KID! First I got the catfish nuggets but they were so greasy, broke apart with fork and their Cajun remoulade sauce NOT EVEN THAT & the sticky ribs OH NO-no flavor from the ribs, sauce was just not existent and overall a badly bland meal! The only decent things I will say is water was decent and restroom was clean but however IDK BECAUSE THIS WAS NOT WORTH IT!!!! Another flaw was the music stuff because it didn't seem to have any consistency for the place-ANOTHER ISSUE!!!!

Wellfleet Insurance has happy hours here and the staff at White Lion is always prepared and ready to help us have a great time! The food is AMAZING - the Asian Glaze Sticky Ribs are the best! Shout out to Rick and his team during our last happy hour for providing quality service and overall a great experience. Thank you!!

Came in for Wednesday lunch since I work nearby. I ordered the sticky rib salad and was disappointed. The salad was basically just a bag of field greens. The ribs were good but you only get two and they're pretty small. All this for $16? I left hungry. Won't be back.

Great beer and great food. Rick the bartender is especially friendly and helpful. Ashley the manager is very accommodating. I recommend the semi private room for group gatherings before hockey or the Springfield Symphony Orchestra. White Lion is one of the places that is making Springfield an ascendant city!

Great brewery founded in 2015 with varied beers in different styles. Contemporary environment that does flights and has superior pub food at good prices.Has a small stage with occasional music.Staff is attentive and friendly.What more could you ask for ?

Love this brewery. Amazing beers, amazing hand crafted food, and great bartenders. They have an open concept type of kitchen, and it was cool to view the cooks make stuff. Very attentive kitchen! Bartenders were so nice!We will definitely try to come back again next time in the area. Only issue is parking. On street nothing was available around the area, and we had to park in the square parking garage. Took forever to find an entrance. Biggest nightmare if you are trying to get back to your car at 9pm when White Lion closes. The gate to the elevator in the mall was closed. We had to go outside walk around the whole plaza with not a single door to garage. Ended up going through the Marriott, and taking 2 elevators to get to our car. Not a great experience if you are staying at White Lion till close. Paying for parking, can’t the mall let you get to your car safely? Another couple risked going up a ramp to get into the garage!!!Love this place, just need a safe way for people leaving at close to get back to their vehicle!

Fantastic place. I recommend the Marcus camby IPA. It’s a slam dunk right on your taste buds. Don’t forget to try the sticky ribs too.
Rick was amazing!! They had a conference or event next door and opened on a rare Monday. Owners did not plan correctly and he was by himself and killed it! Beer was good.

White lion is my favorite place to go in downtown. My girlfriend and I frequently visit. The beer on draft is delicious and always great to try new flavors. The head Chef Tyler is very good at what he does. The truffle fries are to die for. If you haven't been, you need to go!

We love visiting White Lion Brewing. We have been three times now and the experience has been great each time. The personnel behind the bar are always fun and friendly. They know their beer and correctly steer you towards what you will like. The beer is great. My husband likes IPAs and I like sours. Many great choices for both. The food is outstanding. The ribs are AMAZING! The decorations are also a lot of fun and tastefully done. Can't wait to visit again.
