This is my favorite brewery in Soulard as of late! We love sampling their seasonal beers and always get an order of the chicken tender meal. Best chicken tenders I've had in stl! Extremely crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. You can get them tossed in any of the house sauces, I love the garlic parmesan personally! Their Bananas n Blow is always a good option for a fun take on a classic beer. We love sitting in their patio that is well shaded and has lots of historic charm! It's never too busy or crowded and the service is always super friendly and fun.
Bluewood Brewing is one of the shining stars on Cherokee Street. I enjoy the rustic and comfortable atmosphere that they have created from an old stable house. The bartenders are friendly and if you can't decide what beer to order, they're knowledgeable and will help you pick the right one for you. Mac's Burgers has long been gone, but the kitchen is still putting out some damn good food. I enjoyed some plain chicken wings. I'm doing some low-carb eating, so I had them prepared with no sauce and even plain they were top-notch. The pieces were good sized and super crisp and juicy. I eat a lot of wings and I am always a happy eater when, my flats and drums are the same quantity. Just a quirk of mine. Dieting does have some disadvantages. I normally order fries with my wings and I had to miss out this time. However, my mouth was drooling seeing servings of fries at tables around me. After I've droped a few pounds, I'll be back to enjoy some. When: January 21, 2026 Why: Wing Dinner and Craft Beer
Came with some friends for dinner and drinks. Unfortunately their kitchen was closed so we weren't able to get anything to eat, but they still had beer! We got our drinks and headed outside to the patio which was gorgeous. We came early on a Monday and it was super empty. They let us bring in outside food because their kitchen was closed so we ordered a pizza. Super great.
Service was good. Had a beer flight & some holiday eggnog. The decorations for Christmas were beautiful. The fireplace was cozy. Been before & will be back again.
The next stop of "Tour De St. Louis" with my friend from out of town was Bluewood Brewing. Parking is limited to street parking but we walked over from where we were previously to not have to move the car around. When you walk in, this massively beautiful chandelier and wall of beers meets you. My friend and I had a couple of brews and played funny card games at our table. When our order was up of wings and fries, I was satisfied with the wings having a nice crunch and the fries having good seasoning! There is also a piano near the restrooms that kind of gave me old school vibes. I played a song on it real quick without feeling like I was annoying guests. This place was great and I will be back!
I went to Bluewood Brewing for the Sunday night steak dinner meal and loved my meal and it was reasonably priced for a delicious ribeye meal with Montreal butter and with two sides that included a baked potato and asparagus. For the past few years I've been coming to Bluewood regularly for drinks since I catch shows often down the street at Off Broadway so I love all their ales, porters, and stouts. The building is a very cool old space in St. Louis and the service has always been good. I wished they had a sign saying to order at the bar since it took a few awkward seconds to realize that when I walked up to the food window where the food menu was and attempted to order there. I definitely want to go back for the hot fried chicken sandwich that uses STL red hot riblet potato chips for breading next time I go, it looks great.
I like this place but it's one of the most expensive breweries in St Louis area. They do have some decent beers. The internet sucks & you do not get much of a cell service inside. The food is over priced & not great options. $9 for the pretzel bites in the photo. That's almost $1 each
This was my first time at bluewood. I arrived early for a comedy show. I had a beer and then ordered food and another beer. I got the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich with fries seasoned with red hot riplet dust. The fries were perfect. Golden, slightly crispy, warm, smooth, salty, sweet, spicy, and addicting. The chicken sandwich is made with two big chicken thighs. The sandwich looks and js amazing but without knowing it was a thigh I was concerned after seeing how juicy and not the opaque white I would see in a chicken beast. Half way through I went to ask about it and they informed me they're chicken thighs and they temperature check every one to 170 degrees. That was enough for me to enjoy the rest of it. This was a good amount of food. I have a big appetite and was satisfied from this meal. Thanks Bluewood!
Bluewood opened in the former Lemp stables in 2019. The high ceilings and dark wood give the place rustic charm. Every beer here is a winner! There's a decent variety--heavy on IPAs, but also including a Kolsh (Sparkly Bits--crisp and refreshing!), brown ales, lagers, several stouts, & more. And the food has been fantastic since Bluewood took over their own kitchen. Fried chicken is their specialty and shows up on sandwiches and salads. Fries are hot and crispy; try the seasoned option for a little kick. Salads are a nice size and have very well-balanced flavors; the butternut squash salad is tossed in a tangy roasted red pepper sauce that has just a bit of sweetness. Staff is congenial and helpful with those "what beer should I try next?" choices. And events are well-done here too; check the online calendar for schedule of bingo, trivia, and live entertainment. Several screens air local sports, and there's pile of board games to choose from as well. Seating in the tap room varies from high-tops to long tables to overstuffed furniture by the fireplace, plus there's a "patio" (covered but open-air) with room for more.
I tried Bluewood Brewing for the first time over the weekend and was very impressed. Bluewood Brewing is in the old stable house of Lemp Brewery. There is a beautiful chandelier and the building itself is unique. I got a sour beer to drink. My husband got the pumpkin beer and both were delicious. We got to go on a tour of the brewing process hosted by the owner and it was very interesting and informational. Bluewood also has a food menu. We got a side of fries, and they were so good and seasoned to perfection. I would love to come back and try more food on the menu.
The places was so pretty, inside and out. The old light fixtures and the wrought iron and brick. Beautiful. The food was really good! I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken and when it came out I said "This is huge, I'll never finish it." and then I finished it. There are more things on the menu I want to try too, but than Nashville chicken.... I want it again!
Stumbled upon Bluewood while waiting for doors to open at Off Broadway just down the street. Been meaning to check it out for years, timing was perfect early on a Friday evening, semi crowded but easily got a table. Ordered food at the separate counter, the guy that took our order was also the one making food, absolute pro, got to business but was polite. While we waited we got a couple beers at the bar, quick and friendly bartenders. The atmosphere was cool, open and breezy but the location of the inside area felt kind of secretive in a way, tucked away. Would have definitely hung out longer, will be back!
Brittany and Lauren were my bartenders. Not being from around there. It was pretty awesome to be in a brewery that looks like a brewery from home. Brittany had a lot of knowledge about the beers and the food. At first I ended up walking into the patio, but then I was able to be led inside, which was a lot cooler. did not get food here and they had a good list of merchandise that you could pick from. Would go back again. read more
St. Louis is lousy with these microbreweries--this part of town in particular, to the point where, as I ran the streets of the surrounding area, I was violently assaulted with what must be the smell of beer as it's being brewed. 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. read more

This is a great brewery in the old Lemp stables! We love this building and the way Bluewood turned it into a brewpup. It was too hot for the patio, so we sat inside. Great ambiance in either space. Lots of kids inside, so it's definitely kid friendly. I had an Apocalyptic Disco Wizard IPA and an Arch City Haze IPA, both excellent beers. My wife had a Benton Park Pils, a delicious Czech pilsner. Very friendly staff behind the bar. To eat I had one of the best smash burgers I've ever had. My wife said the chicken tenders were just OK. My only regret is that we don't live closer, but we'll be back when it's cool enough to sit outside. read more

Orders: DOMO AFFAGATO Coffee Milk Stout 4.7% ABV | CHARLIE'S ITCH West Coast IPA 6.3% ABV | Loaded Fries | Tacos! One of my favorite breweries in STL located in a historic area near the Lemp Mansion on Cherokee Street, which has a very cool urban vibe. Big covered outdoor patio with TV's so you can bring your furry friends and watch the game, as well as lots of indoor seating with an awesome bar & board games for funsies. Tried the food for the first time on our last visit and it was stellar! Always love their beers & the atmosphere, which often is hosting events like local makers markets, cooking classes, and I believe they host trivia as well. Super fun! Will miss this place when I move back west - thanks so much for having me!! read more

Cozy and atmospheric place, delicious beer, pleasant people! You can actually see the process of brewing since they have the equipment in the chamber with glass walls. Appropriate spot for any unofficial conferences and events. The staff will provide the best service! read more
We went here to celebrate my birthday with my friends. Very beautiful place and friendly staff. I liked the vibe of the place and that there was a great age range of staff and customers. It's nice to not feel "old" when we go out. The beers were very tasty and I love the names. It would be nice if there were more options on the lighter side of the alcohol percentage...I like mine under 8%, but that's a personal preference. read more

Top 3 breweries to visit in Saint Louis. Love to sit on the patio when I go with a group. Also love to sit on the couches in the winter next to the fireplace. The staff is always friendly and they have great drink options to choose from. My favorite drink is one of the hop tarts or a stout. Also like to attend trivia or movie nights. A Brewery that feels like home. read more

Good beer and friendly atmosphere. This brewery has a very large space, which was very full prior to the pandemic, but sadly was pretty empty last night! Hopeful business will pick up! Lots of tables and even couches to hang out on! Would be great for a large group! Bartenders were friendly too and there was a lot of beer to choose from. Being a dark beer fan I tried the Natalia, which is a stout and was pretty good. Also tried the Battle Stag, which was a porter, and again was pretty good! They also have an outdoor area and I believe you can bring your dog to hang out. Additionally a good assortment of games available. New burger place inside, Burger 809, was good too. Reviewed them separately! read more

Bluewood is the best!! Amazing beer selection and QUALITY food with huge portions. The guys that work there are awesome and will take the time to explain the different beers and provide a few samples. Great dog-friendly patio with TV's and plenty of seating. Bingo on Wednesdays and Trivia on Thursday are large draws. They also recently added a huge tv screen for major sporting events. Check them out! read more

Burger809 is now serving food inside and their food is delicious! My daughter and I both ordered the signature burger and strawberry lemonades. I got the cheese fries as my side. I have no idea what kind of cheese they used but it was way too good. My daughter ordered the macaroni and cheese, which she immediately ate. Next time I go back I want to try some sliders and their greens are available on Sundays. Everything is made fresh and cooked to order. Be patient and it will be well worth the wait! read more
