I gotta say, this brewery does has super friendly staff. While we were visiting met another Brewer…read morethat was getting ready to open his own brewery. The selection of beer was pretty big and covered a large variety of beer. They even have distill spirits as well. So no matter what you're in the mood for, they will have it covered. The location is just off the highway and fairly secluded. Sitting inside looking out the windows you see plenty of trees. Many choices for sipping on your beverages there including a loft.

It genuinely saddens me to write this review because Friendship Brewery has been a place our family…read morehas loved for years. We've visited both this location and the former downtown location countless times, enjoying not just the beer and food, but the wonderful, relaxed, family friendly atmosphere. Some of our favorite memories here involve a lively outdoor space filled with families, children playing, dogs, great beer, good food, and people simply enjoying themselves. It always reminded me of the joyful, welcoming atmosphere of a European beer garden. One of the things we've always loved is recommending Friendship Brewery to friends and family. It's been one of those special places we genuinely enjoyed sharing with others. We've even celebrated multiple holidays here, including Mother's Day, because it always felt like the perfect place to bring everyone together and enjoy a wonderful afternoon. Unfortunately, our most recent visit left us feeling very differently. As we were heading outside, the manager approached us to explain the new rules. We were told our children must remain at our table. When we planned to sit under the tent, she recommended that we sit farther away. She also asked whether we'd heard that other breweries in Missouri were beginning to impose curfews on children. There weren't even any other families outside at the time. There were also two large signs reminding parents to supervise their children and keep them out of the parking lot. Those expectations are completely reasonable. What felt surprisingly unwelcoming was being personally stopped and told that our children needed to remain at our table. The manager explained that there had apparently been incidents involving children in the parking lot and even climbing on top of shipping containers. Those are legitimate safety concerns, and I fully support addressing them. Children should absolutely be supervised and kept away from dangerous areas. But requiring children to remain at their tables instead of enjoying the spacious outdoor beer garden feels like an unfortunate overcorrection. One of the things that made Friendship Brewery so special was watching families enjoy that large outdoor space together, with children playing soccer, making friends, running around, and simply being kids. Parents could relax, enjoy a beer and some food, and watch their children have fun. It's a brewery beer garden, not a traditional sit-down restaurant where everyone is expected to remain at their table. That distinction is a big part of what made this place such a wonderful experience for families. I've been fortunate to visit breweries all over the world, and one of the things I love most about brewery culture is how welcoming it can be to families and dogs alike. That relaxed, communal atmosphere is what makes a brewery special. When the experience becomes dominated by restrictions and reminders of rules, so much of that magic disappears. I completely understand the need for reasonable expectations and respectful behavior. But there's a difference between maintaining a welcoming environment and making longtime customers feel like their families are an inconvenience. What makes this especially disappointing is remembering how many times we've been here when the place was full of families, kids, and dogs, with everyone having a wonderful time. That was the Friendship Brewery we loved and kept coming back to. Sadly, after today's interaction, that sense of friendship and belonging feels lost. We still appreciate the beer and food, but the atmosphere that made this place so special to us feels like it has changed. I truly hope Friendship Brewery reconsiders how these policies are communicated and remembers the warm, welcoming beer garden atmosphere that made so many of us fall in love with it in the first place.

I love this place for the Cold Beer and great menu. Great place to chill with my team!read more

Stopped in for a Friday lunch with some buddies to kick off an Innsbrook cabin trip. Located just…read moreoff the freeway in a large shopping center with plenty of easy parking, this turned out to be a great, low-stress meeting point. The Atmosphere: Quiet Noon, Busy Nights? At 12:00 PM on a Friday, the place was very quiet, giving it a relaxed "waiting for the weekend" vibe. However, you can tell this spot transforms in the evening. It's essentially an adult playground: * Indoor Games: A massive setup for bags/cornhole that looks like a blast for groups. * Live Music: They have a stage and a layout clearly designed for local acts and game-day energy. * The Vibe: Clean and spacious--definitely a solid option for a mid-trip regroup or a late-night hangout. Service & The Whiskey Mystery Our bartender doubled as our server and was excellent--attentive, quick, and helpful with menu navigation. One odd note for the bourbon fans: when I asked for Kentucky whiskey, I was told they didn't have any. Moments later, my friend ordered a Maker's Mark without issue. It seems the whiskey knowledge behind the bar might be a bit hit-or-miss, so if you don't see your favorite on the back bar (which features staples like Jack and Jameson), it's worth a specific ask! The Food: Go for the Catfish The menu is straightforward bar fare, but the Catfish is the absolute standout. * Catfish Fillet Platter (4/5): Two generous, fresh, and piping-hot fillets. These are clearly not your standard pre-frozen fare. The fish was flaky and well-prepared--easily a 4.5/5 on its own. * The Sides: The platter comes with tater tots, hush puppies, and coleslaw. While the slaw was tasty (on the sweeter side), the hush puppies and slaw didn't feel homemade. The tartar sauce comes in plastic packets and is fairly tasteless--I'd recommend adding some hot sauce to give it a kick. * Pro Tip: One friend had the catfish sandwich and really enjoyed it. Another had the catfish nuggets, which seemed a bit small if you aren't getting the full side spread, so I definitely recommend sticking with the Fillet Platter for the best value. Tip: If you're looking for a quick, easy-access lunch spot near Wentzville with surprisingly good fish, this is it. Just be prepared to "self-identify" the bourbon!
