7 Best Craft Breweries near Prior Lake

“Such a fun vibe with the boat seats (also super comfy!!) Hugee variety of beers, lots of room inside, & garage windows open on nice days! Seltzers are a great GF option and there’s N/A cream ale too. Highly recommend stopping by boathouse!! ?“

“First time here today for chess club meetup. I was greeted right away and the gentleman/owner was super nice and helpful. Fun yet low key environment that had cool decor with fun chairs, tables and keys on the wall. It was clean, they played good music, kinda like an upbeat coffee house. They let us bring in our own snacks. They have beer, soda, seltzer and 2 NA drinks available along with pretzels for purchase. Will come back!“

“Been a few times for beer but this time I came for coffee and to do some work. It was a really chill place to come work and I love that they've got bottomless drip coffee; just need to pop back up to the bar to grab a refill. Everyone I've talked to there has been super helpful and friendly. Always willing to answer any questions and give recommendations. They've got some pastries from Brittner's next door, standard bar snacks, and N/A options. Only open until 12 on Mondays but you can always roll straight from coffee to beer depending on how your day's going! They hold a lot of events and fundraisers for local groups, which is awesome to see. Their beer is good and it's a great change of pace from the trendy, industrial-chic spots I normally get to. Will probably add this coffee shop to my regular remote work rotation.“

“Cool spot with nice wrap around bar with plenty of seating. Attached Mexican kitchen is a big bonus. Family friendly. Now, most importantly, the beer. The Bock was excellent; hit all the marks on what a Bock beer embodies. Their flagship Traitor IPA was also very good. Like Arnold said, "I'll be bock."“

“Great brewery with a very cozy atmosphere. This is a place I could see spending lots of time at if I lived nearby. Nice game selection. Kid & dog friendly. Good assortment of activities and food trucks on the schedule. Highly recommend.“

“Friendly staff and a very well appointed and clean spot. Chairs are a bit uncomfortable I thought. I liked that they had food on the premises versus a food truck outside. My son had the corn dogs and liked them but we both agreed the pretzel bites were not good. To me they tasted like Sysco food and the cheese dipping sauce also was gritty and not to my liking.I didn't care for the beers either (I got a flight). The milkshake IPA was the best of the ones I tried.So my review is mostly a four star due to the nice facility and good service, not the food and drink.“

“We LOVE Fat Pants. It's our favorite local watering hole. They have a great variety of beers, seltzers, THC/CBD drinks and satisfying menu items. We also love their trivia nights, live music, Oktoberfest week, etc. Fat Pants makes every holiday fun and festive. The only downside is how crowded it's becoming. They need to expand, it's becoming so popular. If anything, an expanded patio would help - bonus if it could be covered & heated in the colder months.“
