    Beer!
    Mary K.

    Packed house on Saturday afternoon for Bradley Brew's 5th anniversary party! We visit Bradley every summer, have been coming to BBP since they opened, and cannot say enough good things about them. Great beer, great setting, great people! Tried a few of their latest releases: Bradley Saison, Sunny Vibes (NE IPA), and Unicorn Girls 5th (NE IPA - my fave this time!).

    Cute inside

    This place is a treasure!!! Truly an outstanding brewery. I am a huge hazy IPA fan, can't get enough of the stuff and Bradley Brew Project has one of the best I have tried. Served in mason jars, this tiny resort-side brewery packs a lot of character into not just a beer, but into a room. The place is so cute, where do you even look? The service was great, the staff was friendly and even though the place filled up the folks working the bar kept everything moving and grooving. Just a heads up, this is a resort community. If it rains, this place could get packed just like it was on the day we visited. This might mean seating is limited, however, the beer is worth standing for.

    Had an awesome Sunday at the BBP. Sadly many of the taps were down today due to some renovations - but that didn't take away from the experience as the staff was super friendly in sharing what was available. They also had a ton of options in cans. They have an awesome indoor/outdoor concept. Pets are allowed. The Bradley saison was my choice of beer and it was delicious. You can buy cans and packs to take home. They even let you mix and match flavors. They have a tv inside and games outdoor. They also sell fun items by other small businesses. Really enjoyed this spot!

    BRADLEY BEACH: we are so happy that Bradley Brew Project allows leashed dogs because it is such a cool place to hang out and enjoy craft beers. Dogs are allowed to sit by the garage doors when they are open or out on the back patio. Reservations are highly recommended as they fill up fast and you can make them on their website or give them a call. A member of the team will provide table service (no bar seating) and you can view the menu through a QR code. The beers are good and we enjoyed the "Boo Boo Friend", a pumpkin spiced dunkel and "That's Not a Donkey," a light and sweet beer. Bring your own food from one of the many nice restaurants downtown! Here is a link to their Covid19 policies that includes some age restrictions: https://www.bradleybrew.com/covid19policies

    Great beer and great staff! You can also make reservations for inside and outside online.

    Great beer! Bartenders/servers are very helpful and accommodating. They have quite a few beers on draft, a few more in cans, and some seltzers that rotate in. With both indoor and outdoor seating so it is a great spot to hangout no matter the weather. Reservations are not required, but I'd recommend making one online. They have an awesome little board with prepaid "a beer for..." Tickets where you can leave a beer for someone who has had a hard day, lost someone to COVID, adopted a pet, is named John, etc

    5 oz beer samples were just right

    This place had a lot going for it, with minor detractions. First off, the beer: excellent IPA and pale ales, very citrus heavy and juicy. In other words, my kinda beer. The prices were great too, for the quality! One of the top 3 breweries in this area of NJ, if I do say so Second, the space: excellent for covid gatherings, the dining room had floor to ceiling windows that opened to let air in! And the backyard where we sat was spacious enough, although the view was nothing special. I saw a giant connect four that was not being used, so this place has some games to play too. Third, the service: meh. They were not attentive and only came after the initial order 3 times in 1.5 hours. They were very busy with a full house, so cutting them some slack. Last, the bathrooms: clean and spacious and smelled nice. This is rare in a brewery so I took note!

    Flight.  You can get a "house flight," too, which I thought is efficient.

    A couple years have gone by since my last visit. Some things have changed for the better, and they deserve to be updated. The brewery does not feel overly busy anymore. It's actually a quaint, sophisticated little place. While some breweries might be a little rugged, this one would be still a nice place to bring a date. Both women and men should enjoy it. Bradley Beach has gotten more gentrified. There are lots of restaurants and shops right on the same strip now. This brewery fits right in. It's a nice place to spend the afternoon or evening. The beers remain light and approachable. Since it's not a huge facility, they continually brew. So, the beers will be fresher than at other places. Their bar has basically turned into a counter now. You just need to take a seat at a table.

    What a small little gem in Bradley Beach. We stumbled into it when walking to Skratch Kitchen. They are brewing all sorts of beers here and they all had their unique taste to them. I can't remember what we had but I suggest getting the four beer flight this way you can taste a few different ones. You order the beer at the counter and sit wherever. We also saw people bringing food in so I guess they allow that. Awesome place! I will be back.

    I arrived here only to be greeted by two musicians warming up in the open entrance way. Early evening on the weekend. The place had a lively crowd and a very friendly staff. The beer menus were nicely placed on the bar and flight choice requests were aside. I got to taste a few choices, one being a Fruity sour and the other a Saison. I had both.......excellent choices on my part. The brewery is located on the East side of Main St in the center of town. I didn't see any food vendors in the area. The ambiance is minimal and well maintained.

    Bradley Brew Project is a fun spot to try delicious beer. The atmosphere is very inviting and the location is a great place to relax with friends. There's a nice back patio area with additional seating if you are looking for some outdoor seating. Since it was my first time, I ordered a flight to sample the the various beers on tap. I had Unicorn Girls (Hazy Pale Ale), But I Forgot my Flip Flops (Pina Colada IPA), Bradley Summer (Summer Ale), and Mystic Griffen (Imperial IPA). My favorite was the Unicorn Girls which is the brewery's staple. All beers were tasty. But I Forgot My Flip Flops was really unique and tasted tropical with pineapple and coconut notes. The bartenders and service were top notch. Overall, I'd recommend checking this place out!

    Very nice and chill brewery in Bradley Beach. I had a flight with a wide variety of beer; their stout is really rich.

    Best new brewery we have been to in NJ this year. Amazing beer selection, including one gluten free. I had to try. Delicious. Coffee stout, yes. Three IPAS yes. A banana flavored beer? Yes and good. Pretzels. Most importantly, fabulous Main Street type setting. Lots of folks all around. Have heard this is owned by young couple, wow. Nice place and good beers. Felt this place was about visitors and community members. And very good variety of beers. Banana infused. Yep.

    Kylie B.

    We went here on a Thursday afternoon and it was quiet and a relaxing environment. I was able to plug my computer in and get some work done while enjoying a beer with my fiancé. They have a decent selection of beers on tap and the double unicorn girl was delicious. The owner was working next to us and it was a pleasure getting to know him. The bathroom was child friendly and had a changing table which made it so much easier with my daughter. Great atmosphere! Make sure to make a reservation if you go on the weekend.

The taproom is on another level as well. One might say it resembles a millennial hipster fever dream, but being a millennial myself I say it is incredibly well thought out and designed. Housed in a former manufacturing facility for a company that made military telecommunications equipment, there are so many different spaces all under one roof. A bar in the front room and a bar in the back room. A small 21+ lounge with couches in the front, and a giant 21+ "sports zone" with three giant TV's in the back. Three coolers for beer to go. A large merch area. High top tables. Regular tables. Immaculate bathrooms. This place has it all. My girlfriend and I came out on a Saturday afternoon when the place was packed with families and their kids. There was a toddler in the small 21+ lounge and a baby in the sports zone, and only two people pouring beers so they were unable to notice and do anything about it. We don't mind kids in breweries but be advised if that isn't your thing. To the beer: according to their website, they specialize in hoppy beers. There were 13 beers on tap (with some being slight variations of each other). One lager, four stouts, and the rest IPAs. They don't do flights but will pour you two sample sizes at a time, and you'll need those sample sizes for most beers because the ABV will knock you off your feet. I love IPAs and I can easily say they knocked these out of the park. The standout to me was the Birdie Putt, which they didn't have available in cans to go, so we got a four pack of the Ground Rule Triple instead. Founder Jeff Baker spent years honing his brewing skills in his garage before opening the brewery in 2023, and his dedication and passion really show in all of the beers. We live over an hour away, but we will definitely make the pilgrimage back sometime soon.

Parking is plentiful, although some lots are paid while others are free. Be prepared for a wait during peak times, but their waitlist system lets you track your place in line, so getting there early is worth it. We started with the Fire Island Roll and Black Dragon Roll, and both were excellent. The standout entrée was the Hot Buttered Lobster Roll, packed with generous chunks of lobster and easily one of the best lobster rolls on the Shore. The Stuffed Jumbo Shrimp was another winner, with a generous portion and flavorful crab stuffing. The Whole Sea Bass special was slightly smaller than expected but still satisfying, while the Blackened Halibut was cooked well but could have used a sauce to bring the dish together. A special shoutout to the staff, who made the smart decision not to seat guests at umbrella-covered tables when storms were approaching.

Tonight was especially spectacular for me, hence the essay review. The organization starting all the way from the ample parking, to the hostess system + the waiting areas made a 55 min wait absolutely seamless, even during a busy Sunday night rush. This visit was everything I could've asked for, and more. My party of 4 and I shared the following apps & entrees: -fried calamari -soaring scallops -fra diablo mussels -fish tacos -blackened red snapper w/waffle fries Everything was delicious, and the snapper stole the show. We downed our bites with some frozen margaritas, YUM! The steamed veggies w/ the snapper platter were particularly refreshing and perfectly cooked. The blackened seasoning was on point. The mussels are my father's all time favorite, therefore they have a special place in my book; they are a must order. Can't go wrong with a calamari app, but the soaring scallops were a bit underwhelming and would probably switch it for my usual spicy tuna roll next time. I have to take a moment for the most important aspect of our dinner. Our server Todd is the epitome of top tier service and dedication to customer satisfaction. Just based off the introduction, I knew we were in good hands. He made sure we were set up and coursed our meal in such a timely matter that every step of service was hit. He made it his business to touch the table every time food was dropped, which is a BIG green flag. If ever something was needed, we did not have to look far or wait for attention. These are the 101's of the service industry that seem to get lost in the sauce more often than not, and he managed to excel in every category I look for when I'm spending my money out. I hope his pillow is always cold at night. All things combined; the overall family oriented vibe, waterside sunset dining, friendly and efficient staff, great food and reasonably priced drinks, makes for the dream post beach dinner. I have been here a million times and I would come back a million more, and would 100% request Todd. Thanks guys !!!!

    After reading the 100% positive reviews for this restaurant, we decided to try something new. I was…read moreexcited to experience the amazing food and service that people were raving about. But I think we caught them on an extremely off night. We had a reservation and came in on time. We were told to sit down and that another waiter would come by to show us to our table. We waited for ten minutes before we were seated, and in that time another bigger party came in and were seated before us. Even when we were seated, the new waiter said he thought we were just waiting for appetizers, and didn't realize we even needed a table. Had we not said anything, we would have been waiting even longer to be seated even with the reservation. We quickly placed our drink and food orders, and this is when service continued to decline. It was clear that there were only two waiters for the smaller dinning room, and yet they were doing a little bit of everything. Our first waitress was also folding silverware, moving clean dishes back to the kitchen, and checking in on the entire dining room. Our second waiter was also the bartender, food runner, and table buser. Needless to say, they needed more hands on deck. I know they were doing their best, but an hour to get our food is really ridiculous. And in that time we were not checked on for water refills or just to ask if we needed anything. Even when our food came out, we had to stop one of the two waiters and ask about the food. Only then, after a few more minutes did they get the food from the kitchen. While not shown in the picture, we got the brussel sprouts and carrot appetizer. This was the only food item we were kind of disappointed with as we couldn't really taste any sriracha, and felt we could have made something similar at home. Other than that, when our three main dishes finally did come out, they were served hot and everything was cooked very well. We all really enjoyed the food we ordered. Really good, but also not out-of-this-world like the price and reviews suggested. In the end, the service was just extremely slow and the price of the food was very high (about $30 per person for three people plus two drinks about $15 each), making it very hard to justify the overall experience. And even though the food was really good, I would not say it was worth going through the extremely long wait.
