    Don't drive too fast down Bath Rd, because you'll miss a fun and tasty time at Black Pug Brewing! The staff here are some of the nicest brewery staff around. It's like you are hanging at their house and they're just being the best hosts around at a fun happy hour party with new friends you're meeting for the first time. I love the simple/easy atmosphere here, with people of all ages and and backgrounds. All are welcome. The variety of beer here is great too, something for any of beer friends, and that's saying a lot. The swag they sell is fun and animal friendly as well. I happened to go during their anniversary party and it was packed! So many fun brews to mark the occasion and to celebrate, I bought myself of their hoodies...one of the softest hoodies, I have ever had. Loving it during the fall/winter temps. The Untapped Board is fun!! I have never seen this in the area breweries. Beer social media is the most fun :) There is a food truck outside for most weekends..they also sell delicious bagged snacks inside. For those not drinking beer, they also sell locally made Green Bee soda. There is a pinball machine as well...bring your quarters! :) The parking lot isn't that big, so if you can carpool with friends. Whatever you do...get here! support this great brewery and great people. If you're lucky, you'll get to meet the Pug of Honor :) He's adorable.

    Gracious host. No flights during Covid but owner was happy to give us tastings of all his beers. At 1 year old these guys know how to make great beer. Surprised only 9 reviews. The Fudgeline Miami stout was fantastic smooth and and solid chocolate undertones ThaiPA a tangerine IPA was our favorite. Look for great things from this small batch fledgling brewery

    Big space, good beer, pin ball, and a cute logo

    I love this place. If you get a tasting, you get all their beers in tap in a color coded tray. They staff are also super nice.

    This is a wonderful small brewery. Fresh ingredients and not afraid to step out of the box.

    Not on Yelp yet? The newest brewery in town also happens to have the best beer. Run don't walk, it's a phenomenal operation.

    Their beer was excellent, I highly recommend the THAIPA, which manages to blend ginger seamlessly into a citrusy IPA.

    This review is for their food and customer service for in-house dining…read more Like a fine wine - this place gets better and better everytime we visit. We probably dine here once a quarter. Service has always been consistently great. Friendly, prompt, detail oriented and caring about our experience. We have never had a bad interaction with any of the staff members. They are hardworking customer focused team. Good with children and elderly folks. The food has been consistently good, temperature, quantity, flavors, textures and presentation. We have tried their burgers, pizza, bowls and appetizers. We really like their brussels sprouts, including our 3 and 6 year old family members. There's a wonderful sweet savory flavor, a nice crisp to the outside and very tender inside. The burgers and fries are very satisfying and flavorful. Most recently I discovered (realized) you can add mac and cheese to a burger. It was yummm!!! The wings, are plentiful, crispy and juicy. Be careful, because the internal temperature is VERY HOT when they first arrive. The past few times we have been the restaurant was very comfortable, not too cold or too hot. They have the ability to accommodate the 6 of us with ease on the times we have gone. This is definitely one of the core options when we are in town. Great for our whole family.

I took my wife and daughters here for cocktails to celebrate the holiday weekend. Despite a restaurant/bar that was fairly empty, it was impossible to get any member of the staff to acknowledge we were there. Once served, the drinks were excellent but it would be a very long time before anyone returned. Despite all four of us sitting with empty glasses for at least 20 minutes, the bartender and other wait staff or employees walked by us without even making eye contact. It almost became comical how we were being ignored. It didn't even seem like they were understaffed since we saw quite a few employees walking around endlessly but not seeming to accomplish anything... especially since the establishment was basically empty by the end. The final straw was when a lady who appeared to be an owner or manager arrived behind the bar. She walked by our empty drinks to have the bartender pour her a large shot of tequila (?) with a lime and down it in front of us and then proceed to chat with other employees who were doing nothing. When we finally paid our check and got up to leave, she looked at us and said something like, "thanks for coming, have a nice night!" Truly baffling. I have heard the food is good but I am having a hard time thinking of why I would put myself through that experience again.

I sat at the bar (full service, for those who require that!), and the food, beer, and service were all wonderful. I had the hot chicken sandwich, and if you're looking for something with the remarkable juiciness and crispiness of a Crispy Gai sandwich but a little less heft, this is your sando. The wedge my wife had was also delicious. I had a Cuppa (English mild beer) which was one of the best I've had outside the UK. Our server, Hannah, was friendly and helpful to these two newcomers. The chocolate chip cookie was icing on the cake. We will be back.

Ordering is at the counter (in theory, nobody was there when we went) or by scanning a QR code at the table. Once the order is placed and paid for (tipping is optional, but Kitchen Staff Appreciation of 3% is automatically added to your bill) it's brought to the table. Staff is friendly. The cheeseburger (cheese smash burger) was tasty, No fries, onion rings, cheese sticks are available, but they do have potato chips, etc. For the price of a cheeseburger, chips and soda (over $20, not including the optional tip) I would have expected more. It's just a single smash burger patty with cheese, in a "Pub" without even full table service.
