We ordered a cheese pizza + a hot honey ricotta. Both pizzas were fantastic!! I think the cheese pizza was my favorite as whatever combo of cheese they use is phenomenal. I've never had a bar pizza with this flavor and I loved it! Definitely check this place out :)

Not too loud either; I enjoy that it's a good spot where you can have a conversation. They serve bar pizza from Mike and Lenny's food truck, which is pretty solid! I tried the golden fever chicken bar pizza, and it was really good! The pizza was a little on the pricier end (18.50), and it took a while to get to our table (even tho it wasn't that busy). Super convenient location with tons of parking. Overall good vibes, with a large selection of IPAs, beers, Pilsners, and Ales. I'm not a big fan of beer, but I really enjoyed their peanut butter and jelly IPA!

This spot is quickly becoming one of my favorites in the neighborhood! After moving out of Boston,…read moreI was looking for some local breweries to replace my favorites in the city, and am happy to say Vitamin Sea is helping fill the void. The brewery itself is spacious with lots of indoor and outdoor seating and your typical funky, industrial tap room feel. There's often really good food trucks, pop-up coffee stands, live music, trivia nights--you name it. You can also grab cans to-go, peruse their merch selection, and bring your pup along (at least if you're sitting outside, not sure about the tap room). Barrel House Z is also right nextdoor, so if you want to brewery hop a bit, that's an option too. The beers themself also don't disappoint. My husband and I are definitely hazy IPA people, and have found something we love each time we visit. If you're not into that though, your options are definitely more limited. They do always have at least one seltzer and mocktail on the menu if either of those are more your speed. Both the staff and patrons here are so nice, it definitely has a community feel to it. I'm quickly on my way to becoming a regular, and wouldn't have it any other way!

Well, now I can say that I've had a seltzer the color of "zelyonka"! To my non-slavic friends and…read morefollowers, let's say this: When I got my sample of Baja Splash Seltzer, my initial reaction was "it's green!" (or was it "blue"?). No matter, I can say for sure it was great! This one was refreshing, summery, citrusy, and while sweet, not overwhelmingly so. Something I would 10/10 get again, and need to get my tail end over here before it rotates out! I also have a light fascination with blue food - it seems like it shouldn't exist, but I digress. As for their other offerings, I feel that they have an okay selection. Some seltzers, stouts, sours, and non-alcoholic options were all available. However, the menu was also IPA heavy, and while I appreciate that I may be in the minority, I am not an IPA fan. Though, perhaps that may change in the future with Vitamin Sea's help. The staff have been nothing but kind and welcoming. While typical of places like this, the ability to try samples doesn't go unnoticed. Finally, the vibe is open, hip, and communal. There are lots of picnic style tables, and card/board game available to borrow. Thus, a terrific brewery to spend a weekend afternoon or evening at. The place is open to families and friend groups, and food trucks are here often. Lots to try and enjoy; especially for IPA lovers. Brewery fans will also appreciate another favorite: Barrel House Z throwing distance away.

I am a vendor who comes to their vendor shows and they really are extremely nice people. The staff are so friendly and even walk around, chat with you and even purchase items from you.

Castle Island Brewery - Norwood, MA (Beer & Staff)…read more (Atmosphere) Great Beer Selection Castle Island delivers on what matters most: the beer. From crisp lagers to bold IPAs, the selection is solid, flavorful, and well-crafted. Whether you're a hop head or just looking for something smooth, there's something here for every palate. Friendly Staff The team behind the bar is welcoming, knowledgeable, and quick to offer recommendations. Service is efficient and upbeat, which adds to the overall positive vibe. Kid Overload Unfortunately, the atmosphere takes a hit. At 6:00 pm 8:00, the taproom felt more like a daycare than a brewery. Tables were dominated by birthday parties and families with small children eating cupcakes. While some may appreciate the family-friendly approach, it's jarring for those expecting a classic bar experience. If you're looking for a chill adult night out, this might not be the spot--especially on weekends. Final Thoughts Castle Island has the bones of a great brewery: excellent beer and great staff. But the overwhelming presence of kids makes it hard to relax or socialize. If they offered adult-only hours or designated family times, it could strike a better balance.

TLDR: while I have mixed feelings about Roundhead, I would go back…read more Love the Peruvian flair and that this is the first Latino owned brewery in Mass. The day I went there was a band playing and there was special ticketed event that forced us to leave (no big deal as we had more than enough time). The space is huge, however compartmentalized, and there's plenty of outdoor seating. Because of its warehouse size and no sound proofing when the band was playing it was incredibly loud with tons of reverberation. The mezzanine is adults only which is helpful as it's right next door to an indoor sports facility and there is no shortage of kids here. Pizza was decent, cooked correctly and really hit the spot after a couple of beers. They utilize an "order at the bar and get a text when your food is ready" system. You then go up to the open air kitchen area and get your food. The beers are serviceable by today's standards with the porter being my favorite. The lagers were also pretty good. Like most folks on Yelp I was surprised by the mandatory 20% gratuity (almost $2 per beer). As someone that ordinarily tips 20-25% in a sit down restaurant I'm a little confused as to how in a place where you order at the counter, pick up your own food and bus your own table the 20% is earned? These situations usually get 10% gratuity from me since I'm doing more than 50% of the work.

Serving a decent variety of brews and offering pizza and other light fare for food makes this a perfect hangout spot and they show a strong dedication to the community. Staff were friendly overall. The misses though would be missing the arugula on the pizza and nothing was said if they ran out or an offered alternative. The beer is also pricy for what it is.... They have good concepts but the taste or execution falls flat for the two I tried. It was also$10 or more per beer (after beer and automatic 20% tip on all food and drink), and these were 13 oz pours were the full size.

When we sat down the waitress brought two waters to the table and asked if we would like anything else to drink. We said yes and told her two were in the bathroom. She snapped at me "I only have two hands!" Rude. She took our order and got a bit nicer but wasn't great the whole time. The soup was awful. The pizza was fine but not great.

This new-to-us brewery on the cute pedestrian-only Birch St. had an outdoor patio but we opted for seats inside. It's not a big place, but it has a good number of tables and bench seating in a brightly lit space. The Tall Man got the autumn flight of 4 beers (one being one of their maltinis), which he enjoyed for their variety. I wasn't up for imbibing so I got a Health-Aid kombucha from the fridge. (They also carry Athlete's nonalcoholic beer in cans.) They have some packaged snacks for purchase, but they encourage people to get food from local businesses to eat there. It was pretty darn convenient to pick up lunch from nearby Chilacates. It made for a very chill lunch and sip. We weren't even the only ones with a stroller! It was a relief to find a brewery that's not utterly mobbed and where we could bring the little one. I would definitely come back for another relaxing hangout.
