    Two Flights of all the different types of beer available at the brewery.
    Mary L.

    We love the Biergarten and the atmosphere of the brewery! We will definitely come back.

    Not a beer, but a cider...
    Wanda H.

    Came mostly to get food from Farm Spirit, and beer's not my thing. I was happy that they had alternatives. My cider was tasty and they had a cocktail or two that I could've gone with. Glad when places do offer things that aren't necessarily in their wheel house. Service was friendly and efficient. The indoor vibe was great and the patio looked great, though it was too hot that particular day.

    Happen to be having an Oktoberfest event when we went today and had live music, raffles and a stein special. Looks like a small place when you drive up but large inside, big patio and a nice bar area. Beers were all good, and the bartenders were friendly and helpful. Did not try the food but had a short but good looking menu. All the beers had a German flair and really enjoyed the Marzen. My only complaint is the beers were a bit more expensive than the local competition but they had a good crowd and people did not seem to mind.

    I had the High Five German style Pils. Cold and refreshing! Beers are $8, decent value for the price. It could get really LOUD in here. Concrete floors and cinder block walls. The outside doors were open so that really helped.

    Good beer! Cool place to hang out! Food available for convenient ordering and pickup. Recommend checking this place out next time you visit St Louis.

    Stopped by because Oh My Cod was in town. We decided to get beer flights while we waited for our food. Initially we were overlooked while trying to order. The bartender came over and apologized I do t remember which eres I got but they were good. The atmosphere was like your typical bar. It was quaint. There were tvs to watch the game of your choice.

    Trying all!

    Honestly, the best pretzel I've had in ages. It's been over a month and I haven't stopped thinking about it. The staff are nice and the space is cool. Highly recommend if you're in the midtown area!

    I recently visited Blue Jay Brewing to chase a food truck taking the nation by storm. As a result I got to sit in the beautiful microbrewery and enjoy good craft beer and vegan seafood. I tried the 4oz pours so I could sample a decent amount of their selection. My choices were Little Birds, Pride & Progress and Monarchs. Monarchs was my favorite hands down, I just have a thing for chocolate malt and this one hit the spot! Little Birds came in second for me, it was the finish on it that edged it out over Pride & Progress. Anyway, this is a good place to taste craft beer, enjoy a limited menu, and people watch while chilling. There seemed to be activities in an inner courtyard as well. I didn't check it out but maybe you will when you visit.

    I just happened to see a friend on Facebook post about this and my husband and I were looking for a start to our date night, so I recommended it. It was such a surprise that it was only open for two days at the time! First of all, the space and aesthetic is gorgeous and super clean. It was such a refreshing place to grab a beer at. You can see all the tanks as well which is super cool. We talked with the owners for a little and they have such great plans for the spot, we can't wait to see it grow and what they turn it into. They only had 3 beers on tap since they're still building up their brews. We got the Hefeweizen and it was amazing - clean, crisp, and flavorful. They told us about some of the options coming up and they all sound so cool and unique with a bunch of awesome local collabs. This will definitely be a regular spot for us to grab a beer. 10/10 great addition to Midtown!

    Great new craft brewery in Midtown. If you like a straightforward beer menu then Blue Jay Brewing has the beer selection for you. Currently, they don't have a full kitchen, but offering food items is in the works. You can order some chips to eat either your beer or non-alcoholic beverage. Better yet you can order a Union Loafer's pretzel with mustard. There is laid laid-back brewery atmosphere with friendly staff. At this time dogs are not allowed inside due to food regulations, but once spring/summer comes around they will be allowed on the patio outside. If you haven't checked out Blue Jay Brewery I would recommend doing so!

    All kinds of goodness.

    Service was great as well as the laid back atmosphere. Beers were wonderful and the whole page flight was fun. Food from the back was superb as well. Great deviled eggs and pickled red onions!

    Okay! ....says the Hefe.
    Kari K.

    Heard it's the new up and coming brewery so had to check it out! Parking is easy. Great garage doors! The outdoor patio area is sweet, patios in STL are limited. The inside has a great laid back atmosphere and the bartender knows her stuff. There's no food here, just fyi. Definitely worth the stop.

I enjoyed that quiet space for a bit and the afternoon air after the walk from Cortex made the wait feel intentional rather than inconvenient. Comfortable seating out here and the light breeze with the afternoon light was nice as I cranked out a few Yelp reviews before I spotted other customers going inside. After setting up at the huge table in the corner, I stepped up to the bar where I was warmly greeted. I chose their Fish Fry, which they call a light lager. It was in a huge mug and that worked out just fine for me as it lasted a while. Oh, and some chicken wings. These were tasty buggers. Served quite hot with a rub that was more spice than sauce. Very yummy and the two sauces were perfect accompaniment. Absolutely delicious. Not long after, friends arrived and I shifted from solo laptop time to conversation. It's nice to see how Rockwell handles the flow of customers. Casual, attentive, friendly. Just right for a great brewpub and a great time. They do have a parking lot. It was just an easy experience today and a great spot for a meetup or hanging out on your own. [Round number review 400 of 2026 - 498 in Missouri - 25583 overall]

The acoustics at times are loud, but you can still hear your friends gathered around the table. My recent visit as always, was to meet-up with some friends. I started out with a Raspberry Beret one of their specialty cocktails. It was my favorite vodka, Tito's with Raspberry syrup and lemon. It was shaken, not stirred and severed up like a martini. Prince would have given it a thumbs up. After some intense conversations with my buds, I ordered some food and a beer. I typically get their famous burger with fries or the chicken wings, but I got adventurous and ordered the nachos. When I asked the bartender how they were, he said that's what he was having for dinner and showed me his plate which sold me. It may have only been an appetizer, but it was filling and easy to eat while enjoying more convo. I'm a fan of Avery Brewing in Colorado, so I had their White Rascal as my beer. Rockwell is so close to getting a 5 Star rating from me, but they keep missing the mark on the customer service. It's good, but some of the staff treat older customers differently then those their age. This visit, one of them was cold and had attitude. After a few tips, they warmed up and provided friendly service and actually got chatty. So I think next time, they may just get the bump to 5.

I tried the citrus tangerine one and it was so refreshing. I also tried the vanilla cookie beer which sounds a little out there but was really interesting and yummy.

I would definitely come back, either for pizza, or happy hour with coworkers or to play the games there. They have pool too.

I came with my parents and husband and we all agreed it was a great idea and a very comfortable space, perfect for what was needed. I was surprised at how relatively ample the parking was here despite its proximity to the city. We found a spot with no problems. There were discreet signs that directed us up the stairs to where the event was held. It was spacious, airy, and cool, with a decent number of tables and a very nice large bar, as well as restrooms for both men and women. Our family members who spoke were able to stand on a small stage and share their thoughts. The food was served buffet style in front of the stage. Although you'd think it might be hard to hear given the acoustics, they worked out a way to make it so their speeches could be heard easily. Even visiting with other folks after they spoke, it never became too loud to hear each other. There are also nice TVs which displayed photos of the family. Although we used the space for a celebration of life, I can imagine it would be a good fit for all sorts of events, from corporate parties to just a chill hang out space when it's open to the public. It did get a little bit hot in the space as the event wore on, but it wasn't intolerable. The food and drinks were also quite tasty, especially for catered/buffet style food. There were pretzel bites and cheese dip and three different types of slider burgers: a standard/original burger, a taco burger, and an Impossible burger. The pretzel bites were crispy and buttery. I had a taco burger slider. It was a tiny bit dry but had a great flavor. The bartenders were great -- friendly, answering questions, working efficiently, and very kind to all the guests. Husband enjoyed the beers he tried and my mom and I both ordered the "Cranberry Crush," which was a yummy (and strong!) cocktail that was bright and perfectly sweet. They also serve mocktails, which I love! Glad to include folks who are sober. Thanks, 4 Hands, for creating a welcoming and comfortable space for us!

It's not altogether different from the smell of beer as it's coming back up, and it called to mind my illustrious, mostly-forgotten-at-this-point college years. I was suddenly compelled to listen to Cannibal Ox and watch certain videos that I'd pilfered from Kazaa, and it's probably for the best that I didn't have access to a circa 1998 Compaq Presario in that moment. The vibe in Bluewood Brewing is a lot classier. There's no "Iron Galaxy" over the PA. The lights are dimmed, which I imagine would be convenient if there was someone there you owed money to. I was particularly impressed with a long table on the patio. I remarked to a member of my running group that it almost certainly didn't come from IKEA. The wood was of too high a quality. The food menu is limited to a small selection of standard sports-bar fare, but this is not anywhere you'd go to watch the game. They might not have any TVs. Did they spend too much on the table? Also, they don't sell any beer in cans, that I'm aware of, which I generally prefer as someone who, as the evening progresses, is prone to dropping things. I went with something called Crush, which is an orange-flavored high-gravity IPA. It was the highest ABV selection on their regular beer menu, but it also costs a little bit more, so you're not really getting over on them--unless you thought to "pregame." I found it to be both less "stiff" than I was expecting and less orange-tasting, in a good way but also in a bad way, in that anything that fails to conform to expectation is at least somewhat disappointing. I was expecting paint thinner and orange juice. I got something that was balanced and flavorful. From the food menu, I got the daily special, which was a sort of elevated patty melt called the Stable Melt. It came with two all-beef patties, Swiss, caramelized onions and "Frisco" sauce on Union Loafers marbled rye, with your choice of chips or fries. It was $18, and as I was standing there a guy came out and changed the price to $19, presumably due to developments in the war with Iran. I was assured that I'd be "grandfathered in" at $18, but I'm not sure if he told the guy at the register and I didn't bother to check. It wasn't necessarily my kind of thing, but it was a great burger. The name-brand bread alone nearly justified the price increase. The meat was generously proportioned (no Diddy), but it didn't quite extend to the edges of the bread. Perhaps if it were one larger patty? The onions gave it a sophisticated Salisbury steak vibe, wholly superior to Hungry Man. The fries called to mind the fries at Wendy's. If only they offered a Frosty to dip them in. It wouldn't necessarily go with their beer. I'd suggest they put bourbon or something in it, but I shudder to think what they might charge.
