Set in an old industrial building, this brewery immediately impresses with one of the best makeshift patios I've ever seen. Inside, you're greeted by a fun, welcoming space featuring vintage video games and long, family-style picnic tables--many of which were filled with guests playing board games. The bartender was very cool and knowledgeable about the beer. I had two half-pints, and honestly, they might be some of the best brews in the area. Toward the back, I discovered a separate performance space with its own independent kitchen--where I grabbed a tasty burger. Open mic night was underway, and the artists performing were genuinely talented. The entire space is beautifully decorated with a unique and inviting aesthetic. I really liked the vibe overall. read more

The beer was very good but I did not like the LGBTQ theme. I support being proud of who you are but I do not like the rainbow flags that are displayed. read more

Could I give any less stars to this shothole brewery. The owner was screaming at his wife, and kicked a small dog while I was there. He was very rude to me personally, my wife and 1 year old son..he's a year old for God sake. Would never go here again, would never recommend this place to anybody. read more

I live about 5 minutes walking distance from this place and have tried to force myself and my boyfriend to like it because of the convenience, but after the most recent experience we had I have to say the last nail has been put in the coffin. The first thing I have to say is that breweries are for adults, not children. Especially after 5pm. I don't want to go to a brewery and hear babies crying, kids running into me, or a group of kids playing tag, zig-zagging around the tables. I'm here to relax and drink a beer - I chose to go to a brewery, not Chuck-E-Cheese. Secondly, I arrived on a Friday night to find the staff drinking and playing pool. When my boyfriend and I asked if we could play, we were told by the staff that we could "have winners". After ordering another mediocre Barewolf-brewed Beer and playing board games to kill time, 45 minutes later the staff was still sitting around playing pool between long breaks while one of them had to actually step away and service a patron who was coming into their establishment. The outright disrespect and just blatant lack of caring for a paying customer is something I have never experienced and hope to never experience again, since I will never come back. Amesbury is a great community with great people and it's a shame that there are businesses like this that are in our town. But hey - if anyone is looking for a job that pays you to ignore customers, play pool and drink beer, Barewolf is the place for you! read more

Came for a dog adoption event and wound up having a great time. Such a fun, upbeat environment and bonus points for being dog-friendly.

Can't decide which is better,... The beer or the people. Had an incredible experience at Barewolf today. First I felt like the employees were beyond helpful and went out of their way to create a welcoming atmosphere and where just super helpful and nice and friendly. Then I had the beer. The Pilsner was clean, crisp, and tasty. Most pilsners are clean and crisp, but theirs was balanced with a very flavorful body. Delicious. Also fad a couple Seasons., Which were just as good. read more

I really love Barewolf Brewing. The atmosphere is family-friendly and laid back. Leashed dogs are welcome. There are boars gsmes to play and a ton of seating options. Oh, and the beer is great! I have tried more than 6 different beers here and enjoyed them all. If you are looking for a casual, fun, family friendly spot for an afternoon pint, you can't do much better than Barewolf. Beer is also available in cans at the brewery and local markets. I just wish they had more food options. PS: Barewolf has also hosted many events for our community which adds a lot to our town. read more

Great beer! Really good quality beer but the vibe is not what I expected. The music played was blasting and it was all reggae when I went. Place is nice but I really didn't feel like the brewery was comfortable and get it was kind of niche. Worth going to to pick up a four pack but honestly the vibe was not one that I enjoyed and I can't say that about many breweries read more

What a gem Amesbury has in BareWolf. The brewery itself is spacious with plenty to entertain yourself with. It is pet and family friendly as I personally feel breweries should be. Parking is never obnoxious. Let's be honest though, the most important part is the beer itself. I tend to assess a brewery's beer on how well they nail more difficult styles like Vienna Lagers or saisons. They have knocked it out of the park several times. One of my favorites was a tart Hefeweizen. Having said all of that, they do also do a fine job with their juicy hazy haze bombs as well. They don't discriminate. Haze bro's rejoice. Keep up the great work folks. It's clear you love what you're doing. read more

I love this place, the people here are so chill and welcoming and the Vibe is always great!! I love when breweries are pet and family friendly because it not only says, "come here and relax" but it also says "bring your family! We know parents want to relax too!" My boyfriend and I love coming here, and the other day I lost my license and Matthew was super helpful when I came in and found it for me, even remembered me coming in the night before! Love foggy galaxy! read more

This is a nice little brewery in an industrial space in Amesbury. Not far from Brewery Silvaticus. We stuck mostly with their IPAs and pale ales and enjoyed them all. I got to dust off my rusty Galaga skills and notched a respectable score and we got to sit back and relax for a bit after a long day. There beers are starting to appear on taps in Boston too, so more people should be hearing about them soon! read more

love the beer and looking forward to visiting as I had no idea that there were Russian billionaires living in Amesbury, MA. so exciting!

My absolute all time favorite place to go out! BW has an awesome crew working the bar, super delicious beers and the best night life around with live bands and food truck! Love all the shows of local artists too. Aaaand they just added a beer garden outside, super cute. Dog and kid friendly. read more

The people who run this brewery are awesome. Friendly, knowledgeable and professional but most of all, fun. They do everything to make great beer and they also have some of the best label artwork I have seen. The air conditioning room to enjoy libations has that warehouse feel you would expect from a real craft facility. There is always a good vibe in there and you feel welcomed by people who love what you love, not beer snobs who think they know it all. Enjoy it now! read more

Amesbury is so lucky to have such an amazing brewery. From the friendly and helpful staff to the outstanding beers this place is a gem. They always are pumping out new beers and don't stick to one style. Super kid and dog friendly! If you don't like fun this is not the place for you. read more

Came before the pandemic, picked up cans during the pandemic, and went back for the first time yesterday, and always a fantastic experience! Love being able to enjoy great NEIPAs and play Mrs. Pac-Man against the wife, board games with pals, or just enjoy some BYO pizza with family (including the pup!). We make it a habit to come back whenever in the area! read more

Relaxed environment with delicious beers! Lots of games to play inside & usually has live music. Can bring your own snacks!! Owners are super chill & very friendly. Love this place!! read more

Went to Barewolf brewing and had some Great beers. They have games and a relaxing atmosphere to visit in. The food was excellent and the pool table was so necessary in this space! We were able to meet people over pool and have a good night. There was enough space for a band, great local music. Overall had an excellent time. Will be back as much as possible. read more

Went here for the ugly Christmas sweater event which was supposed to be dog friendly. We brought our hound and he was very excited and barked a few times, no more than a few barks here and there. As I was at the bar about to get a drink the bartender went over to my fiance and asked her if there was any way she could quote on quote calm our dog down because someone complained about his barking. Mind you I was at the bar and no one said anything to her. I feel as though she was annoyed and not anyone else. I then asked her what the issue was considering she just stopped serving customers and went over to my fiance. She told me a parent with a kid complained. If this is true as someone who represents the brewery she could have explained that this was a dog friendly place and barking is expected considering they're dogs...instead of, chastising my fiance. Her rebuke left us feeling on edge and unwelcome we will not be going back. read more

Love this place! Incredible creative beer! Growing arcade game selection! Often has live music! Could use more seating, but that is improving with time! Love love love the laid back atmosphere! So thankful to have them in our home town! read more

I'm an IPA guy. In fact, I've been drinking IPAs since Anchor Brewing released it's Liberty Ale back in the 70s. That said, I fancy myself an aficionado, of sorts. I had to pause and write this review following my recent experience with Barewolf Brewing. In my opinion, their "Loose Ends" IPA is among the best, if not the best, IPA in the land. It is a very well balanced beer, with an excellent dry hopped texture and a brilliant, if not subtle, citrus finish reflecting the finest hops available. It is a very drinkable IPA, and deserves much wider recognition than I suspect it's getting. I've also had a host of their others brews, the vast majority of which I have been impressed by. These guys know their beer! Highly recommended for beer lovers out there. read more
