    Here for trivia night with friends and to check it off on the Beer Trail. First impressions: good vibe...parking is tough tonight, but I think that has more to do with the Corvette show being in town. Filling up fast...server seems friendly so far. Wings were delicious. My only complaint was lack of sauce. They definitely had some heat, but were not sauces very well at all. I tried the hot (which wasn't overly hot) and the "rub me wet" (which was a little hotter, but wasn't WET by any stretch...barely damp). The beer (Porchside Berry Sour) was pretty tasty. The menu seemed fairly limited outside of burgers and wings. The fries were ok, but definitely not great...too thin...almost a chip/fries hybrid. We would probably come back for trivia, but not someplace I'd seek out just for dinner and drinks. Seemed fairly overpriced for what it was.

    Food and service was great but atmosphere was disappointing. We met friends here (first time for all of us) on a Friday night--they had live music, just completely empty. It was a little disappointing this place wasn't more lively. Overall we enjoyed our meal and will likely return

    Chicken wings

    We had a great first time experience at Back Porch Brewing. They offer a wide range of original beers, a creative "pub" menu, and excellent wings! It's their wings that motivated me to make this review. They were large and super crispy--just the way I like them! I highly recommend Back Porch Brewing for good beer and great wings :)

    It was not bad but nothing really was outstanding either. Beer was better than the food. Service was good

    Have been to Vortex many different times and they never disappoint!…read moreThis evening we sat out on the patio, and there was a beautiful breeze. Inside they had someone playing the guitar. So relaxing. During the winter, we were there for trivia several times. That was always fun! Now the food and beverage... Their pizza is awesome. Doesn't matter what kind you get, it's delicious. The beer is also wonderful. There is a wide range to choose from, and my boys have liked them all. I've always had good service, and the place is always clean. In addition, it's located right off the Rail Trail in New Freedom. Great place to stop after a walk or a bike ride!

    Vortex Brewing Company might technically be in New Freedom, PA, but it feels like a true extension…read moreof the Maryland craft beer scene. The beer variety is fantastic. They have something for every palate, and I appreciate that they rotate styles so often. My personal favorites are the Polar Vortex IPA (hoppy, bitter, and seriously bold) and the Coal Car Snickerdoodle Coffee Stout--which is a phenomenal, dark dessert beer that's perfect for the colder months. The taproom is huge and welcoming, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It's truly family and dog-friendly, which makes it an easy choice for a Saturday afternoon. Pro tip: If you're coming from northern MD, hop on the NCR Trail near the brewery. It's a great spot to hit after a bike ride or a long walk. The team here is friendly, the glassware is always clean, and the atmosphere is relaxed.
