It probably hasn't changed much at all since it opened in 1925. The bartenders are friendly, the drinks are cold, and it's a fun way to spend a couple of hours. The owner, Kyle, stops in often. He's really a great guy and really cares about the place. The bar is that lovely dark, ornate wood which could never be replaced today. The jukebox is awesome. The patrons are really nice to us and we always feel welcome. Rich, the bartender, is our particular favorite.

Working solo until the next shift came on, she still was warm and helpful to our table of four. This is basically a bar serving up different beers and large glasses of wine. Other cocktails are available but didn't seem to be their forte. We ordered mussels as an appetizer and they were large and very fresh. Our entrees were also plentiful. Fried oyster platter was yummy! My husband and brother in law had the cheese steak and they were huge loaded with steak, onions sweet and hot peppers. They each took half home. I had the fried shrimp and fresh cut fries...very tasty. This place is a bit grimy but you'll definitely get your money's worth.

However, I soon found out that the restaurant has undergone a change in ownership and that they apparently didn't get any recipes from the previous owners. As a result, there were no scotch eggs or shepherd's pie on the menu. The new owner told us they should both be back on the menu in May. [I didn't understand why you couldn't have already gotten a recipe off the internet.] Anyway, I ended up getting fish and chips, which were OK though unremarkable.

For food, of course the chicken wings are their staple food and the quality is good. They have a standard of allowing you to choose multiple wing sauces for wing orders of 10 or more. This is great because it doesn't restrict you to one flavor for large orders of wings. The burgers, pasta, and salads are also very good. My server was very helpful and exercised very friendly customer service. Overall a good experience. I will visit again when in West Reading, PA.

Fun restaurant and bar in the Reading, PA area!…read more My friends and I were traveling through Pennsylvania and we wanted dinner, a place to watch a football game, and good food/beer. We found Brewer's on Yelp and and were very happy with our visit. Brewer's had a local feel to do it and a lively atmosphere for a Thursday night. The food menu has a large selection of different types of food so almost anyone can find something to eat. Great selection of beer with a lot of regional offerings. Also seem to run a special for different types of alcohol for most nights of the week ($6 large draft IPA beer on Thursday night). I ordered the brisket meatloaf sandwich that came with BBQ sauce and gouda cheese on top. The sandwich was very tasty and I especially enjoyed the pretzel roll it was served on. I liked that I was able to substitute a side of perogies instead of chips. The moon ranch grilled chicken sandwich was a little underwhelming and the moon sauce was the only positive to that sandwich. The service was good and our server checked back in with us multiple times during our visit. There's also a beer outlet with a large selection of craft beer attached to the restaurant so you can take local craft beer home with you. They call themselves a small place with the BIG selection!

Outstanding experience. (Hope this review makes up for minor squabbles about Gracie's, which I too…read morelove!) Located a bit out of the way in the Flying Hills golf course, but worth the drive. Sports bar- Eagles vibe w/ a decent draft list. The kegs weren't working (seems to happen at every bar we attend these days) but still enjoyed a Mike & Merrill Philly Hazy IPA. Wings a good size, crisp, you know, the way wings used to be before everyone started charging an arm & a leg & serving broken pigeon wings. Classic "Buffalo" sauce & blue cheese dressing were good. FINALLY tried famous Caramel Burger (which I missed several times at the Hamburger festival). It did not disappoint. Good size, flavorful patty, & what these people do best- the bacon jam & caramelized bacon. The sweetness of the onions sings thru. Order it! Husband ordered seasonal special Frikadellen/Bratwurst Smash Burger. Skipping right to it- the cottage fries. (Gracie's/Louie's if you had this all the time we'd have no beef! LOL) INCREDIBLE! Crisp, thin, tender, amazing. If you follow me you know I am over the frozen fries served at every eatery in this country. Finally, amazingly pleasant, genuinely happy, server- Reese. She was on my side throughout this whole foodie journey, even the beer & burger mishap (initially burger served w/o cheese sauce). She's a keeper! We'll be back & will spread the word! Till then, stay on your toes! Thank you Louie's for a great meal.

We both got our drinks fast. We then sat there for 2 hours and didn't see our server for 45 mins after getting our drinks. We didn't order any more so we each only had one drink. By the end of the first hour of being there, the bar was completely empty. Just us in the entire restaurant. We finished our drinks and were ready to get our check but no staff was to be seen. The server finally came out of the kitchen and we asked for our checks. When we payed and were about to get into the car our server came out and complained about the tip, even telling us to not bother coming back. Together our checks equaled $14 so the tip wouldn't have been much if we had good service but being harassed in the parking lot over a tip put a bad taste in my mouth. Safe to say we won't be back.

The drinks are served up strong and service by our server tonight, Grace, was very attentive. Every time we come here we order the crispy potstickers appetizer and we agreed that their fried pickles are the best we've had anywhere. The dill dipping sauce that comes with the fried pickles is the bomb. My husband loves burgers and it's not always easy to find places that actually serve great burgers, but tonight he said "this is delicious!" Our server, Grace, was friendly, helpful and paid attention to the right time when to offer another drink or see if we want anything else. The music playing is a mix of genres so there's something for everyone and we enjoy it. They play it at the perfect volume. Loud enough to hear it well but not so loud that we can't hear each other talk. And, the outdoor patio seating is dog friendly! Reading some of the other reviews, I am baffled that people are leaving three and four stars when they have nothing but raving positive things to say (awesome, fantastic, etc) about the food, drinks, ambiance and service. That makes a place worthy of a five star review. Do yourself a favor and visit the Liberty Taproom!
