This restaurant is a must stop for me whenever in Perham. I love it in the summer because the back patio is an enclosed area that feels like an oasis from street traffic. I have never had a bad meal here. As a pescatarian/vegetarian, I appreciate the many healthy yet tasty options. The drink menu is well curated. During a recent summer visit, I enjoyed a berry spicy Margarita. I tend to avoid fruit margaritas because they are often too sweet, but this one balanced the fruit and spice well. I would definitely order again. Even though I was the only patron on the patio, the staff was very attentive - refilling water as needed and checking in an appropriate amount. I would recommend this place anytime you're traveling near or through Perham. In fact if only it were in my neighborhood, I'd visit much more often. read more

So we have all heard of Zorbaz in lake country - and that may have been the spot in the Perham area until The Brew came to town. I think people that live in the area, vacation here, or simply drive through can confidently agree - this is the best food in town. Are you an app person? The Brew has plenty of options - all done better than your small town dive bar. My vote - the Gouda Pickles. Handheld aficionado? They have sandwiches galor. Burgers. Chicken sammies. Tacos. Some how it escaped me that there is a cajun pasta... Maybe this was a menu addition since i've been? Motivation to return! read more

Very cool spot, fantastic ambiance! Fast service & great food! The kids loved the chicken strips and the cookie with their meal was a nice touch! read more

Amazing food! I completely annihilated the crispy chicken sandwich. I would go back there just for that! The server was very attentive and answered any questions, had great recommendations for us. We also throughly enjoyed the music choice and the volume of it was perfect. Some places you go, it's just too loud. Very cool set up and even have mocktail choices! read more

Very fun and chill environment and the 2 pigs and a hen burger Is so good highly recommend if your in Perham

Food great. SUPER DOG FRIENDLY! They really love dogs. Our Belgian malinois loves their kid's hamburger and fries! We love the walleye sandwich. read more

Staff was slow and not very friendly. Felt like we were an inconvenience. Wings were fatty and chewy. Bloody Mary was "ok".

Wings were great and the 2 burgers were fantastic. Great atmosphere and spot. Fried are thin and crispy. The chicken sandwich was enormous!! Service was prompt and on point read more

After a day of troll hunting we came across this pub style restaurant. The drinks are good and the food is great. The marshmallow dipping sauce is not only good with their sweet potato fries but with the walleye fish, 2 hen burger, or brisket quesadilla. Try it on everything and you wont be disappointed. read more

Delicious food with outside seatings! Courteous and efficient staffs. Will come back here! read more

Mreh. My first time at this location - but have been to their Detroit Lakes restaurant (when they still owned it) a few years ago. Stopped by with a friend on a Saturday morning. Place was packed and only seating was upstairs. Staff were friendly, but service was not the best. Order was messed up and I received the wrong drinks on my beer flight. Food was OK. I ordered the veggie burger, and it was a bit lacking in flavor and the texture seemed a bit off than what I've experienced in the past. Maybe I will return, but I think there are better options when out and about in the Lakes area. read more

Really bad. Got kicked out for no reason and the owner will not explain the reason. Only got to have one beer. Was going to order food and a couple more beers. read more

The brew is small, but it is nice, waitresses are always very respectful, I like some of the food, not a fan of the breakfast menu precisely for the price vs going to a diner, so I would stick to lunch or dinner for the Brew, some of their dressings like the aioli not sure the name is really good! read more

Brisket tacos were great and beer was cold! They were busy but let us know there may be a wait and then kept us updated.

The goat cheese quesadilla was great and I liked the selection of Moscow mules. However, the 'Cajun' chicken sandwich seemed more Norwegian-spiced than Cajun and the 'jumbo' pretzel was really only big enough for one. The Carolina Pulled Pork sandwich was decent and I liked the fries. Verdict: 7/10, definitely worth a visit during happy hour. read more

Brew has great beers. Very conscienscious re: virus. The Happy Hour is very vague. Not written on menu, but listed in website. Confusing. Fried pickles and chicken nachos both good. Just print a damn happy hour menu so people can see their options in the time of covid. Thanks. read more

They have a great menu. I can see myself trying everything on it. It's pretty small but there are low tables for us wheelchair users. I'll be back. read more

My sister takes me out for my birthday the last 2 years to The Brew. LOVE the beer cheese soup, BBQ chicken nachos, anything and everything is excellent! Staff KNOWS customer service. read more

Sometimes hard to find a LEGIT GOOD place in smaller towns. This place was LEGIT GOOD. Wings were super awesome good cook, great flavor. Fries were also good. Good prices, decent beer selection, I do wish they had more local MN brews, especially when the town itself has a brewery, but for sure check out this place, pull off the highway and spend some time in Perham. read more

The freshness and quality of the food is stellar. So glad I found a place that doesn't just serve battered fried food, and I can get a salad that doesn't consist of iceberg or Romaine lettuce and canned ingredients. I ordered carry out .. Sweet Potato & Quinoa Salad but substituted blue cheese crumbles instead of feta. Also added chicken. My order was ready in 10 minutes. The service is friendly and easy going. Brew has creative menu items with healthy ingredients and thoughtful preparation. This is hands down the best value (quality and reasonably priced) in Perham. Thank you Brew! I am an elated customer and will continue to be a loyal patron! read more

Fantastic happy hour. $4 mules are specialty fancy cocktails with fancy ingredients. Very delicious. $7 nacho plate is well worth it. Loaded! read more

Very very good! Would have been a full five stars but we arrived at 6:30 and didn't get our food until 7:45, and there weren't many people when we arrived so not sure what that was about. At our table we had the patty melt, a burger, a poutine burger and the Gouda pickle bites (which sounds weird but was the best thing on the table!) it was a crisp dill pickle with melted Gouda in an egg roll wrapper deep fried and oh so yummy!! Patio was so nice but this season and the flies was a detractor. We were a snack for the flies. read more

The Beer is never cold and is not served in frosty or chilled glasses. Uncomfortable seating

The brews are actually quite good! And the Dubliner burger is AMAZING! Seriously, it might be the best burger I've had anywhere around this area. One not to pass up. The service here is personal and great. And the design of the building is very clever and unique. LOVE THIS PLACE!! read more

The best food in Perham, great drink selection, cool atmosphere. Kind of spendy. Tacos are GREAT. Fries are delicious with their variety of aiolis. Haven't had a bad meal there (although brunch was our least favorite of our visits there ‍). read more

As we were enjoying the fantastic "Dubliner" burgers, the pouteen, something from the always impressive beer list, and the National Spelling Bee Championship on the tv behind the bartender, a figure suddenly appeared next to us, placing a mason jar of sauerkraut on the bar and addressing the room: "Anybody want to trade for some kraut?" He needed an alarm clock, it turned out, and would offer his homemade sauerkraut in return. He had a new job, and needed to make sure that he woke up in time. The number of alarm clocks in the room was zero, but we directed him toward the Dollar Store, which seemed the best bet. I hope he found one, and I hope he woke up in time. read more

My husband and I are here for the summer and have been getting takeout from various restaurants in the area. This is by far THE BEST. Professional, safe (re: COVID), and friendly. Not to mention the food is heavenly. I have not had real cheese curds before coming here. Hope I can come by and dine in post-quar! read more

Yum... pulled pork sandwich and French fries was excellent. And, I enjoyed my cider sample... Loon Juice. Would absolutely recommend as a great place to watch the game and enjoy a meal. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite, had not been here in a while. Again the food and service was great. The house cut chips are fantastic as are the fries. In house made corn beef is a treat on the Rueben. Perfect balance of kraut, dressing and meat on a property done marble rye. read more

This place was absolutely delicious! We just came in for a drink and snacks. The manager was at the bar and was extremely helpful and friendly. The other staff was friendly as well. We ordered the cheese curds and the poutine - amazing! Usually, when we visit Minnesota we try several different cheese curds at different restaurants and these were one of our faves. The drinks were great as well. The bulldog was great if you love coffee. read more

Visiting from out of town & wanted something that wasn't fast food or crappy diner. The food was absolutely delicious! I cannot remember the last time I had a pulled pork sandwich that was SO GOOD! The homemade chips, they really are homemade - not like some places that just dunk some frozen potatoes in grease. Very good! The service was ok... There wasn't a sign stating if we should wait to be seated or if we should seat ourselves. We walked in and 2 servers almost looked through us. I had to ask "can we sit anywhere?" Once seated we waited a few minutes for menus. It just seemed there was a lot of waiting - more so than typical. It wasn't terrible just not the kind of service that would warrant 5 stars. The food on itself would keep me coming back. read more

A favorite of ours! Rhubarb Spritzer (x2) drinks were fabulous and the burgers here have a wonderful flavor that is different from anywhere else. We loved the Dubliner burger! We'll be back every time we come to Perham MN. read more

I love this place. They had a good verity of beers on tap. The two I had were both great. The burgers were very juicy and the ingredients were great quality. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a burger as much as the one I had, the Brewben. Service was a little slow on getting the mains, but we never ran out of drink and the appetizer was delivered pretty quick. The place is also friendly to those with Gluten Intolerance like my wife. There is a lot of items on the menu that I want to try so we will be back. read more

This joint is SO much more than just a bar in a small town. It still has the small town feel but has amazing food. I think their tai chili wings are some of the best wing I have had anywhere.This a place worth the trip to check them out. You will be glad you did. read more

Swung in for lunch on a Sunday drive and now will be sure to return. What a great place!! Great menu, lots of unique options from the food to the drinks and a nice beer list. The food and service was excellent also. I had the Cuban and it was excellent. It was well put together, hearty sandwich, not the usual greasey/messy Cuban. Delicious! We will definitely be back! The patio was great! read more

I was looking for something out of the ordinary in Perham for lunch, so I ordered the sweet potato and quinoa salad and tomato basil soup to go. I was hesitant about the salad as the only greens were arugula, but adding the feta cheese, craisins, walnuts, and vinaigrette dressing made it the perfect balance of flavor and fullness. It was such a different combination and I was glad I decided to be adventurous and try it! Unfortunately, they accidentally gave me buffalo chicken soup and not tomato basil, which was extremely disappointing, but it tasted delicious! The ambiance in the restaurant was urban and inviting. It seemed like a good place to meet up with friends for some great local beer and food. I would definitely recommend! read more

My husband and I visited for dinner yesterday (Saturday). It took 50 minutes for an appetizer (as an entree) and chicken sandwich. The service was good, the beer listing had a wide variety, but the food is not timely. Back of house needs to step it up to match the front of house. The atmosphere was above par and I think it's awesome to have a craft taproom in the rural lakes area for those who appreciate something more than a Bud Light. The Vanilla Stout on nitro was amazing. read more
