[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a small a brewery with a comfortable feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We sat ourselves in the patio, and shortly after the waitress appeared with the few menus. We opted for the wings and a couple of beers. Food was ready in a timely manner. My wings were great, but unfortunately, my friend had one that was undercooked, and had red in the center which made her lose her appetite. No, we didn't make a fuss or notify the server. It just wasn't a big deal. We had been out hiking all day, and were hot and thirsty and the beers were cold and delicious, so we just enjoyed our drinks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The patio had a nice vibe and good music, so we drank our beers and enjoyed the atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dog friendly[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Good service [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice patio[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you're hankering for a cold brew, come here! read more

Went looking for this place after seeing a video on IG. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful old building restoration with indoor and outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff was great, you feel welcome as soon as you set foot in the building. They offer a wide variety of their beer that is produced in-house. I even took home a crowler with me of their Pickle Beer. Yes, Pickle Beer! They also have wine and cocktails, so your friends that don't drink beer won't have an excuse to not come along. The story of my life . Now let's talk about their food: I HAVE TO tell you about their sexy fries. Something so simple, yet so delicious. Good Seasoning is everything! I was also looking forward to trying their burgers with their house blend beef. I had their OG, but I am sure you won't go wrong with any other of their options. Highly recommend this gem in East Texas! (This is only 1.5 hrs from Dallas.) read more

Have been going here for almost a year now. The brews produced by this Microbrewery are spot on. Their owner, WIll, is also the Brewmaster and he definitely knows what he is doing. Their chef, Elijah, trained in both the Orient and Europe. He is simply AMAZING. The Wagu sliders with pimento cheese will melt in your mouth. On Fridays they offer Fish and Chips which are second to NONE! And Elijah was also a Pastry Chef in a former life and he was gracious enought to bake a German Chocolate Cake for my wife's birthday. It was simply DELICIOUS. If you find yourself in Athens and are in a mood for good eats and brews then THIS IS THE PLACE!! Tell them that Toto sent you. read more

I definitely recommend this spot and will be looking forward to my next visit! read more

We're camping in Athens from out of state and decided to try the Brewery for a late lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everything was great and the biggest bonus was being dog friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Both my husband and I loved the Brown Ale! We had the festivo salad with chicken and the OG burger plus a side of Brussels. Parker was our server and she was great from service to her suggestions on what to order. I'd definitely eat there again. read more

Both the food beer and cider are very good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A nice outdoor patio area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will definitely return.

Hidden gem! Highly recommend stopping by when in Athens. I had their Pesto Chicken Sandwich with I believe the cowboy fries, both were very delicious! Portions are good as well, the fries itself could feed two people. read more

Walked in on a Saturday around 1pm after going ziplining and not haven eaten all day. Ambiance - There was only a couple in the entire restaurant, along with the workers. Very empty. Parking - Easy to find Service - Bartender was friendly, service was good. Food Chicken burger - 8/10 (the messiest burger I've ever eaten and parts of the chicken felt like it was more breading than chicken but overall very good!) Sexy fries - 7/10 Sweet potato fries - 10/10 Fried pickles - 2/10 (the breading was terrible) read more

Traveling through on a road trip to Kentucky, and wanted to stop at this restaurant/brewery. We ordered two flights of beer, which the guys seemed to enjoy. We all went on to order pints, and I can vouch for the Out-Cider, crisp and clean. The brussels sprouts were awesome, crispy and well-seasoned. We also ordered the gyro and a Reuben sandwich which both were very well prepared and tasty! Great atmosphere and friendly servers. Would recommend In a heartbeat read more

Food is great. I recommend the Brussels sprouts and sexy fries! Yum. Yum. Yum. My husband loves the beer here and the vibe is just overall great. He's loved everything he's tried here. Good music is always playing. Usually the service is top notch. There's one guy who could be a little friendly. I mean you're serving beer man. Don't be so stiff. But the curly haired guy (I'm bad with names) always wins us over in his general demeanor and attitude. Always a good time to visit this place. read more

I'm overjoyed I have this place to come to when I visit East Texas. While visiting family for Thanksgiving, the Hubby and I stopped in and were blown back by the amount of relief we felt upon arrival. It's tucked away in the heart of Athens and actually brews their beer on spot at their location! Everyone was sooo warm and welcoming from the patrons to the bartender to the cook! The bartender gentlemen let us try all of the different brews until we found one that pleased our pallets. The cook came to see that we enjoyed our food and we DID! That was one hell of a cheeseburger and I've already expressed my live for Cesar salads in previous reviews. Well this one rocked the house as well! I will be sure to stop by every time I am in town! read more

This place has a super fun vibe. We went in on a Thursday & that happens to be Trivia Night. Family friendly & it felt like everyone knew each other. The pickle beer wasn't for me, but they have plenty of other brews & wines to fit your taste. There was a jalapeño/ sausage/onion/BBQ pita that was on special and outstanding even though I can't remember the name. A definite stop when you're in Athens. read more

Great food with friendly service. A really cool restoration of an old building with a fun patio.

Traveling from out of state from NM for work, I decided to check out Athens Brewing. A very awesome spot to stop into to wind down. I liked the atmosphere very much. The service was great, with the bartender taking the time to give me a description of the beers they had on the menu. I ordered their burger and it was perfect to satisfy my appetite. Thank you so much for allowinge to be your guest... read more

What a great find! For anybody visiting Cedar Creek Lake, take the time to drive into Athens to this little gem. We started with their fried gouda and cheddar cheese sticks and "sexy" sweet potato fries. The cheese sticks were ridiculously good, and the butter-tossed sweet potato fries were hands down the best I've ever eaten. My wife and son split a plate of beef sliders while I had the brat and giant pretzel. The sliders and fries were great, but the brat and pretzel stole the show. I'm from New Braunfels and have a high benchmark for judging brats, and this one is legit! The sausage was fantastic, and the pretzel was everything an awesome pretzel should be - toasted and crunchy on the outside while being soft and steamy inside. Serve it all up with some spicy mustard - what else could you want? Oh, I know - maybe some homemade brews. We sampled their apricot beer, Marzen and Reliance IPA. All were very good. This place had a great combination of food, beer and service. I look forward to our next trip to the lake just so we can come back here! read more

Brilliant place. Really enjoyed the ABC burger sliders and sweet potato fries. I had 2 flights so I could sample all of their goodness. Ended my evening with a nice apricot. I'm not usually an IPA person but I really enjoyed the ones I had tonight. I hope to see their beer in Houston. read more

My wife and I were passing through town and decided to stop in for a local brew. Glad we stopped! The beer was great and the food was spectacular! The Brussel sprouts were soooo good. So was the freshly made chips and salsa. We will be back! read more

Great experience. Visited while in town for a weekend getaway. Thomas and Apricot beers were our favorite. All the food we order was phenomenal. We order the sweet red chili boneless wing, chicken club, and lava fried. All really good! Best boneless wing sauce I've ever had! Highly recommended. Great patio for a nice day! read more

Athens Brewing - Thomas Beer - Brewpubs Near Me - Athens, Texas

My husband and I make it a habit to visit breweries wherever we go, so we had to stop at this one when we were in town. Came in on a Friday night and the place was really busy. There was live music outside and no seats available! The inside continually got busier as the night went on. The staff seemed very overwhelmed and service was slow. That being said, once you finally got to talk to someone, they were very friendly and happy to answer questions. We tried 4 beers, with the Apricot being my favorite. I also got to try their seasonal pumpkin, which I recommend getting it while you can! I was a little surprised there weren't many games to play. That is usually a brewery staple, and what I hoped to do while hanging out. I saw Sorry and giant Jenga, but that was it. The food menu is nothing to brag about, but also nothing to complain about. I came in hungry and left full, so I can't ask for much else! read more

In a town of 12k this place is second to none. The beer was cold and the staff was amazing. I'm from a big city so I've seen bigger and better... but in Athens there is no other place to spend a Friday night. I absolutely recommend read more

I am giving it five stars mainly for its location because it is a haven in a small east Texas town. The beer was great! The food was good (loved the cheese sticks and sweet potato fries). Service was top notch. The aesthetics still need a lot of work but there is a lot of potential. read more

Great atmosphere, good music, beers, and fantastic food! You can only get their brews, and wine from Tara Winery.

Nice spot, beer was good and the atmosphere was very inviting. Can't speak to the food because their head chef was gone and apparently the temp can only fry up some wings so a little disappointing. The town doesn't have too many independently owned restaurants so worth a look! read more

Athens Brewing - Beers! - Brewpubs Near Me - Athens, Texas

This place has a long way to go to be taken seriously. The exterior facade left us wondering if the place was still in business. The bar tender was not very helpful or particularly knowledgeable. The place was cluttered with boxes that merchandise had been shipped in, half emptied. I tried the IPA and thought it is palatable but nothing that knocked my socks off. I ordered a burger shooters, no utensils came with it, nor did they even have any to give when I asked for something to cut them with. Bartender had trouble finding napkins. Two hours after eating I found myself stuck in a bathroom with a massive case of the s@&ts. This place is not ready for prime time, and I don't get the feeling it ever will be under the current management. read more

Maybe when they're up and running full tilt it'll be better. Half the beer list not available and I would have been fine with a bottle of something but never offered or even know if available. Lava fries were good and we cleaned those up. Other food dishes looked well prepared. read more
