There is great effort behind getting their brewing equipment here from across the pond and I understand it is en route! So this is a review of everything but their beer. And I don't think it's fair of others to give bad reviews for the delay. When they first opened they contract brewed a few and the ones I tasted I liked. They took a pause contract brewing and have since had a great selection of unique Maine beer on tap. Both times I ate here the food was very good and the service went from adequate to spectacular, even on a busy Saturday night. We are addicted to the lobster fritters; not over fried or greasy, chunks of lobster. Short ribs tender with spicy sauce which can be on the side. Fish of day (once cod, once salmon) broiled perfectly on risotto which can be swapped for quinoa or veg. Sides of spinach and brussels nice, the latter firm but not done the ubiquitous crispy way. The only miss was the absolutely tasteless tofu dish. I put my friend's rib sauce on it to make it palatable. The place is very attractive with original features and nice bar. A great choice for food and I look forward to their beer soon. read more

Bath Brewing Company - Lobster fritters! Very nice. Not just a ball of breadcrumbs. - Brewpubs Near Me - Bath, Maine

Food is bleh. We've ordered much of the menu and everything has been either bland, one-note, lacking in presentation or just missing the mark. Space and beer are great. Service has been mixed, but bartenders typically attentive and friendly. So hope they get the food figured out! read more

We stopped in for beer and some appetizers. Beer was excellent and the wings were nice and crispy. Our waitress Nikita was attentive and friendly. And the location is really cool, a neat old building! read more

I am decreasing stars on this review unfortunately based on service. It's very slow with no returns from the waitress at least saying she has checked on our order. Nothing. The seating downstairs is pretty close so a busy night it was hard to hear one another. If my rating were based on purely the food I would give the place 4 stars. My husband had a beer (Portland beer) with a burger and fries which he enjoyed. I had the boneless rib that came with mashed potatoes and crispy Brussels. Yum! read more

We went there last week, and weren't too impressed. The hostess was kind of snotty, and acted reluctant to seat us. Our server wasn't able to answer simple questions about the menu- when I asked her if one item was vegetarian, she merely shrugged and said she had no idea. Hubby's hamburger was ok, my tofu with quinoa was really not. It seemed to have been cooked with no seasoning whatsoever- two sad, bland triangles of tofu, lying listlessly atop a blob of bland quinoa mush. He got a beer, and our server was eager to offer him another each time he was 3/4 finished. However, I asked for ice water. I received a glass immediately after ordering, which I finished before my meal arrived. Despite asking for a refill a couple of times, I never got one, not even when she brought him his beer. I can't imagine wanting to return. On the plus side, they did a nice job with the space. read more

Set on a bustling main street and in a historic building with original brick, wood, and stone. The employees are very friendly. The ceilings are high, front windows humongous, and floorplan spacious. There are several seating options, including a nice two-layered bar. There is a great selection of craft beer, with full and half pours available. They don't quite yet have any house brews (waiting on brewing equipment supposedly). They also makes great cocktails and martinis. There are plenty of options for food; large and small plates and sides. Try the haddock cake, short rib sliders with au jus, and bacon creme brulee for dessert. They have a TV in case you need to watch that sports game. Don't forget to check out the cool upstairs! read more

Disclaimer: This is not a brew pub, a brewery, or anything else having to do with beer. The beer is all from other breweries, they do not have their own beer. The food, while tasting okay, had absolutely laughable portions. Let's just say they took the term "shrimp skewer" literally. I could not recommend you going elsewhere more. A mere mile or two away is Flight Deck Brewing, they are BYOF (bring your own food), their beers are stellar, and their brewers are super nice. read more

I know they just opened, but.... Host was rude, staff looked like balls in a pinball machine bouncing off each other. It was Saturday night, but when you order fries (supposedly hand-cut) and they come out looking like something you'd find at the bottom of a bag in the frozen food section in the supermarket, count me unimpressed. Btw, they don't brew their own beer. Maybe they are planning to in the future. I'd assumed they had their own beer. Might give them a second chance and then again, maybe not. read more

Heard about this new place in Bath and stopped on my way through. Apparently they just opened a few weeks ago, and they seem to have worked through the opening because our service was flawless. Atmosphere is amazing, we sat upstairs. Ordered lobster fritters, a burger and fish & chips - and the food quality was excellent. I heard they were starting to brew their own beer, so hope that gets going soon. I'll be back. read more

Sad to see the original menu been deleted. Haven't been back since. My favorite was the bacon creme brûlée and lobster fritters.

Very crowded and small spaces to squeeze into. Went for craft beer and none of the ones we were interested in were available. Ended up with a Bloody Mary and a margarita. The food was good. Wings and Pizza are recommended. read more

Great jalapeño margaritas and the service (drinks and dinner) was great! The salads are so fresh and creative. We had halibut as our proteins. Huge portions and very tasty although could have been cooked 3 minutes less;) read more

Absolutely phenomenal. Every bit from beer to food to service was amazing. The slider combo was great to get a little bit of everything. And could not be more satisfied with the cauliflower bites as they were also amazing. Sam was so kind and just made the experience that much better! read more

What an awesome stop over.. Four guys (ok, we are older folks) go out to celebrate twice a year when the significant others do the same in their way. We stopped by because Google said to, and we really enjoyed the beers and the food. We won't go anywhere that does not have access to food. So cudo's. I had taquitos and was very impressed. Also found the staff to be very friendly and entertaining... Great Experience! read more

Nice small brewery in Bath. Food was very good. Service was excellent and beer was terrific!

This used to be our "go to" place - short ribs, haddock cakes, burger or wings. Excellent quality at reasonable prices. We went in April 2021 and the specialty drinks were gone but the menu was still intact. Food was good and we looked forward to coming back. Fast forward to the end of June and the place has imploded. New management has made their mark. Our server - Mason - did a great job but the service was just bad and the new menu/food was just mediocre. Apps sat on our table for almost 10 minutes before we had to go to the hostess stand for silverware - "we never have any silverware" I was told. Food was delivered in a timely manner but it took a while to get our two drink orders. Chicken wings didn't have much taste. The food was good but not remarkable. We used to tell everybody to go to the Bath Brewery. We'll use up our remaining gift certificates and unless things change, we won't be back. We were very sad when we left last Friday night. I guess all good things must come to an end.... read more

Lovely brewery. Vibe very much matches Bath's. Old, quaint, friendly & comfortable. The food is very tasty, I had the lobster fritters and a well made salad. Very much enjoyed each. Creative and well made beer, I had a flight of varying styles and loved drinking each. Great service. Great ambiance. Cool swag. Well priced. My only regret is that I don't love close and can't visit more. Drink local! read more

Great little spot in downtown Bath. The atmosphere is great here during the weekends. The food is okay, but the salad didn't have much flavor at all even with the vinaigrette and goat cheese. Their milk stout is awesome though! read more

My friend and I went to lunch here this past Saturday (8/13/22) We ordered the fish and chips. I ordered a ginger ale and coffee and my friend ordered a root beer and ice water. We got our drinks and I unwrapped the silverware napkin. No spoon to stir the sugar and cream in my coffee. Waitress brought one. We ordered the lemon tart hing for dessert (2). Different waitress came with one and 2 spoons. I told her politely we had both ordered the dessert and she replied, "There was only one made." So, I told her to bring me a different dessert. Lo and behold she came back with the lemon dessert. Another waitress brought the check, for which I was paying. The check read $67.40. I went to the counter, gave my credit card and the waitress gave me a receipt. My friend and I did some shopping after and went our separate ways. When I got home I looked at the receipt and it read $76.48, $11.08 more than my check had read. Come Sunday morning, 8/14/22, I had an email receipt from Bath Brewing with a total of $91 and change. They had added a 20% tip ($15.30) that I did not authorize, nor did I sign anything giving them permission to do this. It is illegal for any establishment in Maine to do this. Tried calling today to speak with a manager and found out this place is closed on Monday and Tuesday. They will hear from me Wednesday, 8/17/22 as there was no response to the email I sent them yesterday. I will never go there again and I will spread the word, check your receipts before you leave. I had to give a star rating to be able to post, but trust me, if 0 was there, I would have clicked on it. read more

Great hazy juicy ipa: komet sutra. Cool vibe. Good food. And super nice bartender: Stefan! Highly recommended.

My wife and I had been here before, and remembered it favorably. We tried it again tonight for a beer and a light dinner. They are short-staffed, as is everyone, but management seems to have given up on it. Other than our server Emma (who gets the only star), the people working there could not have seemed less inspired. No supervision was evident. We both had chicken, which was overcooked and tough. (Mine was on a salad, and I didn't eat it. I told Emma it was overcooked, but she never offered to take it off the check.) It's a long way up at this point for Bath Brewing, and we don't plan to be back. read more

Unbelievable how rude the host was. We drove 30 minutes had spoken to someone in the afternoon for our reservation for 9 people and he claimed he didn't get the reservation and that the kitchen was understaffed and they couldn't take us. I know restaurants are hurting now and that it's hard to get good help, but common decency should prevail and they could have made some arrangement for us. We can choose to go many other places in town or even in our own community but wanted to support local and Bath. My friends with me had a terrible meal earlier in the summer but I said let's give them a chance. Never again. I would have chosen no stars if it let me read more

Appreciate getting a well made cocktail every time I go to Bath Brewing Co - even though it's known for the beer. Food is usually very good as well! Last visit the appetizers were ok but the burger was fabulous! Services is always great as well. read more

Food was very good. Roast beef sliders were very tender, 2 make a meal. Unfortunately they, like many places, are struggling to find enough help. We waited quite a while for our food but watching how hard the waitstaff worked we were understanding. They should all get hazard pay going up and down those stairs! read more

I've had better service at fast food chains. We came after making a reservation for 9 and they acted like we never called, later stating that the chef would be "overwhelmed" having to serve us. After explaining to them several times that we called and made a reservation, they acted like we were an inconvenience - not once did they even attempt to remedy the situation or even apologize. Never have I seen such an embarrassingly bad showcase of service and hospitality. Not to mention their food has always sucked (having eaten there a few times prior). Thought we'd give them another chance but never coming back after this. If you're in Bath and looking for a good restaurant, try Bruno's across the street. Fantastic service & food! read more

The beer was okay but the food was not good. Our daughter order the seafood taco and could not eat it. My fish and chips were bland. We had to ask repeatedly for salt since the food had very little seasoning. Eventually I had to go inside to get it. read more

Not sure what happened it used to be excellent but the last 3 times we went the food and service was terrible. They overcook the Burger every time and the last time we went they served my Burger with no onion and when I told them they said they were out. Out? There is a Market next door that had plenty but I guess they didn't want to bother they would rather tell paying customers that they don't have any. My fries were not hot and when I told the waitress she didn't even offer to make me new ones. My beer was empty and the waitress never asked if I wanted another one, when I looked around for her I saw her in the corner eating her lunch. I blame management and lack of leadership for this place going down the tubes. read more

Happened upon Bath Brewing and we couldn't have had a better lunch. Started with Lobster fritters that the guys really enjoyed. Three of us had the Eggplant Sandwich with different sides and it was nice to have Brussels sprouts and squash for side choices. One person had the Wild Boar Brat and he enjoyed it with the Bath Pale Ale Beer. Everything was really good and our server Karista C did a great job even with the place being very busy. We would visit again to try more menu items if we are ever in the area. read more

We stopped in for a quick lunch. As other people have posted, we thought that with "brewing" in the name they would have brewed their own beers. They do not, however their selection was all New England beers, with the majority coming from Maine. We had a salad, a good portion with a great house-made dressing and delicious pork belly, and lobster fritters. I don't have enough good things to say about the fritters - the pieces of lobster were large, no like in most fritters where you can't tell there's any there. They were perfectly crispy, and the aioli on top was amazing. Our bartender was extremely friendly, and actually knowledgeable about the different beers on tap. The kitchen is largely open to the dining room and looked clean and organized. The hostess/manager was attentive, friendly, and helped staff when needed while still conversing with and tending to guests. Although we didn't have any, the other food going out looked equally delicious and with healthy portion sizes, despite what we read in other reviews. Based on our own experience, would highly recommend this place to others. read more

Went for lunch in March. Service was very slow despite few patrons during lunch. Our orders (grilled cheeses, eggplant napoleon) arrived at the table COLD. The sauce on a napoleon can be room temperature but not cold. The cheese on my napoleon was congealed. The grilled cheeses looked no better. The soft drinks were served in very small glasses -I don't know if they charged for refills but if they do it would be rather petty of them. read more

I just have to say it...I'm here in Bath on vacation for 3 weeks and I've eaten here twice already and have come for beers 4 times. I just won't eat her again because my pet peeve is that they skimp on the french fries and I can't understand why. it happened with my fish n chips and burger and as I write this review I know it's not a fluke because so see meals going out with the same flat piles of fries.. why??? Fries are cheap and make the plate appealing (sigh). On a bright note, the beer flights are great if you want to try some interesting brews. read more

Stopped in for a quick snack mid-afternoon - fairly quiet, but that is what I was looking for at the time. Fast, attentive service by the personable bartender and since it was my first visit, gave me a quick rundown which was appreciated. They don't have their own brews yet - they said this fall - but great selection of local beer so I wasn't disappointed. Ordered a salad and the fried cauliflower - both very tasty. The cauliflower was lightly breaded which I prefer and they were done perfectly - would definitely get that on my next visit. I will be back. read more

We keep coming back because the atmosphere is awesome and let's face it, there aren't a lot of choices in Bath. The food varies between ok and pretty good. The menu could use some more interesting and flavorful choices. The fish and chips and burgers are pretty solid, but everything else we've tried has been ok. If you get an appetizer, eat the greens that go with it! They are dressed with a delicious vinaigrette and they make up some of my favorite bites! read more

Good beer and a nice vibe. Didn't try any of the food, but the menu looked promising. Worth a stop.

Another incredible meal at Bath Brewing Company today. It's always a dilemma whether to order the heavenly fall-apart-on-your-fork braised beef short ribs with crispy Brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes and gochu-jang soy glaze or the delicious burger with a divine bacon-onion jam and mound of crispy pieces of skinny potato fry heaven on the side. Today it was the burger and it was as good as always. For dessert I highly recommend the bacon-infused creme brûlée with a smooth creamy custard just reminiscent of bacon smokiness and a caramelized sugar crust on top - perfect ending to a perfect meal. Try sitting on the upper deck overlooking the Kennebec when the weather is nice. The staff is super nice and the food can't be beat for quality and value. read more

This place is clearly a winner when operations are smooth, the staff is well trained, and the kitchen can handle a full crowd with only 10 days under their belt. Bath Brewing Company has two floors of tables and bars, very well decorated in the theme of Bath's old brick and maritime traditions. They do not make their own beer yet (give them about a month) but they have an excellent selection of Maine brews on tap and bottled/canned. Atypically, Bath Brewing also has a full bar and a limited but very well chosen wine list. So all of you beer lovers with spouses that do not care for the brew, you can safely come here and they can get both fine food and libations to their liking. The food was very good with good portions and lots of compliments from all the tables around us. The pork sliders were on a nice fresh roll with tender well spiced pork and a nice au jus. The shrimp skewers were cute little shrimp with an old bay style spice and a very nice dip. As far as the fries are concerned, no matter how many you order you are going to want more. The fries are small and very crispy. Perfect. Staff were also very nice, very helpful, and supported each other well. Terrific addition to Bath. I only wish I lived closer. read more

The food and drinks are amazing, the staff is friendly and courteous, and the atmosphere is beautiful!

Didn't go in but as I was walking by, I received a very friendly smile and wave from people inside which really made my day. I'll go another time for a meal. read more

I waited until after my 3rd visit to write a review because I wanted to make sure my experience wasn't a fluke. Well, bar-hopping and eating out every day for 4 days has confirmed that this is, in fact, the best place in Bath. Night number one I was just here for drinks... they have a great selection of craft brews as well as a diverse cocktail menu. Night number two was for drinks and dinner. The bartender was very welcoming and did not hesitate to make me several drinks that were not on the menu. Even when he did not know how to make a French 75 (I don't blame him, it's not particularly well known) he asked me how to make it and proceeded to make the second best French 75 I've had outside of my own kitchen (the best came on night 3). For dinner on the second visit, I had the lobster fritters and the burger. The fritters were extraordinarily meaty and fresh, and the burger was exactly to order and delicious. On night 3, the bartender exuded so much confidence and authority that I could only assume she was the manager/owner. She is the one that made me the best French 75 I've ever had. For dinner I had the bolognese, and I could have very easily eaten another 3 bowls of it. I can't recommend this place highly enough. read more
