Came for a live band and they cancelled. We were so bummed, but stuck around for a beer and chicken nachos. Family friendly - large shelf of games and toys. You order at the bar and pick up your food at a window. Can't really comment on the service. Beer and food was just okay - we likely will try other breweries in the area before returning.

The beer is pretty good but their current (3/24) kitchen is pretty terrible and incredibly overpriced for what it is. Chicken wings tasted old/bordering on unsafe. Coating of slime on an inedible side of celery/carrot likely from storing in the fridge too long was also suspicious. 2 meals, 1 beer for 75$? Needs to be way better if they want to charge that much.

This place was very cool, awesome space and the vibe was great. Good drinks too- didn't eat food but it smelled and looked amazing and this place had stuff to do, little arcade, board and card games... This is a fun spot I intend on coming back, I usually don't give all 5 without trying the food, but in this rare scenario I will

On a snowy half day of school Friday, we took our daughter, son-in-law, our 3 grandchildren, and a friend of theirs to Workshop Brewing for lunch. We were greeted like long lost friends even though the bar tender did not know us. He went over the menu with us, made some suggestions which turned out to be stellar, and simply made us feel like we were valued customers. The appetizers and lunches were great, the atmosphere perfect for our group of young and old, and I cannot say enough about how welcomed we were made to feel.

I came to Workshop Brewing for the first time and was overall pleased with the atmosphere. There was live jazz music, some board games to borrow, and great beer. However, I waited close to an hour for my food only to be called up and told they had run out of cheese for their 3-cheese Mac and cheese. I was offered the option to order something else, but to expect a similar wait time and to see the bar to re-order or get a refund. There was only one cashier and therefore there was a line to wait and get that refund. Wishing it was a better first experience and hope they can work out kinks in this process to ensure they don’t run out of food or inform customers of items that are not going to be able to be served that night due to a shortage.

We always enjoy the beer here. Current favorite is the Lever Press.The BBQ sandwich (chicken) was plentiful and very tasty, topped with coleslaw. My husband liked his pear salad.

Been going here for years - good beer. Got some Mac and Cheese last week and it was real good. Got it last weekend and it was basically noodles with butter and maybe parmesan cheese with pulled pork on it. I said something to the bartender and she didn't care said speak to the chef who was sitting at the bar next to me. He said there should be cheese on it and went into the kitchen and didn't return. They charged me full price for butter noodles with pulled pork. I come across a lot of people with my line of work and have been recommending the food there. Not anymore and heads up - it might or might not be good - but staff won't care and will blow you off. 2 stars is because the beer is good - staff and food - mixed bag.

The workshop brewing company just opened their own kitchen again, so I went with a group to try it out on an improv night. The beer was fine, the comedy was great, but the kitchen needs a lot of work still. My mac and cheese with smoked pulled chicken was $20, but consisted of buttered noodles with a sprinkle of cheese, not a real cheese sauce. The chicken didn't have much flavor. Two of my companions had burned food, and one had meat added to her meat free nachos. Hopefully they get things straightened out or bring back someone else to do their kitchen, but until then, I can't recommend ordering food. Stick to the beer, and grab food elsewhere before you come!

The Workshops new Kitchen menu is amazing! We had a great meal this last Saturday with very little wait. The beer and atmosphere is always top notch!
