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

This is the very first review that I have ever written. Brew Ales & Eats was an amazing experience. The atmosphere is wonderful out back on the patio! The food...was freaking amazing! Such incredible flavors! Our server Katelynn was so delightful and very friendly. Wish I lived closer so I could become a "regular". read more

The food at the brew is so much better than typical bar food! I have enjoyed the Cajun Chicken sandwich with a green salad 3 times and now plan to always come to the brew when I am visiting Perham! The atmosphere is urban, in contrast to the quaint town of Perham. The on tap beer selection is outstanding. This bar has Monty Python's Holy Grail Ale, which I don't see often and always a treat. read more

Brew Ales & Eats - Cajun Chicken Sandwich and house salad to go. - Bars Near Me - Perham, Minnesota

WOW--a must if you're visiting Ottertail County. We drove 45 minutes from Eagle Lake and it was worth every second. I had the pulled pork sandwich with fries and ordered the house aioli. The house aioli sauce for dipping fries was probably the best decision I've ever made. The service is terrific, staff is polite and knowledgeable. Our food arrived quickly and was hot and fresh. We each enjoyed a beer--my husband the Chocolate shake stout beer (yum!) and I had the Magic Hat #9, a delicious pale ale. The total was $32 before tip. Brew Ales and Eats has the atmosphere--clean, dim lighting, TVs playing sports, and upper level dining area--the service, and amazing food and drinks. This is a must stop for anyone in the area! read more

With a great selection on 32 beers on tap, Brew had my attention. Fried pickles and homemade chips where great. Had the Breuben (burger and a ruben) which was excellent. The interior was comfortable and inviting. Outdoor patio with a fireplace was unexpected. Great place, highly recommend. read more

We eat here often and have never had a bad meal. Be sure that you don't miss out on the chips! They are hand cut spirals. Delicious! There are several vegetarian selections on the menu. Few lakes area restaurants offer vegetarian options so this is a real bonus! Service can be slow. Be prepared to wait about 45 minutes or more. read more

We enjoyed a delicious dinner tonight. The prime tenderloin we perfect and the cheese curds the best is ever had. Highly recommend!

The owners are small town friendly and love fresh, funky, and unique food and drinks. Their new place will definitely speak to their taste with eclectic decor and party atmosphere. Can't wait to have the best ginger mojitos. . or maybe a few of them. read more

No other place in Perham like it. Great food (except the fries), great selection of beer on tap. Prices are perfectly fair. Love the atmosphere of the place! The home cut fries look delicious, but are really limp and soggy. That would be my only complaint. read more

Visited them on Sat 8/15, variety of drinks were good and unique. Not impressed with the $12 pulled pork sandwich, no volume to it, flavor ok. read more

Ultimate in cool places to eat and drink. This place wanted to be a cool bar with some good food and turned into a great restaurant with some drinks. The food is unique. You can throw a dart at the menu and you will hit something good. Always order the house chips with your meal. read more

Unreal food, and great service. I will definitely bring my family back. I love the beers they have on tap!

What an amazing place! It's 2.5 hours from my house but I will 100% make the trip back here. Great beer selection and creative cocktails, and the menu is outstanding. I had a quesadilla with goat cheese, chicken, bacon, and a chimichurri sauce. So good! The service was great and the prices are very fair. read more

My family has been to Brew a ton since it opened (four times this weekend, actually!) and I was finally able to get there on Saturday. We arrived for a late lunch with 11 people and were able to get tables upstairs to ourselves. The waitstaff was great and took care of us right away. I had tried the 2 Pigs and a Hen with the chips and sriracha aiol. Normally, a visit to the cabin has always included visits to the place that over uses the letter Z or other places with 3.2 beer, but I am going to request Brew from now on. So glad there is a place with good craft beer in the area!! Tried a couple of the mixed drinks and I was impressed! On a side note, my brother, cousin and sister-in-law would have been there five times in the last five days, but Brew is closed on Sundays. :( read more

This place exceeded my expectations! We stopped here for dinner tonight with four of our kids. My hubby had the shrimp tacos, our twelve year old had the Philly cheesesteak and chips, our ten year old had the patty melt and chips, our little kids had the cheeseburger and fries and I had the Philly cheesesteak and fries. First of all, the fries and chips were homemade and the fries were amazing! The shrimp tacos were awesome! Loaded with shrimp and a great slaw on top! The philly was really good! The patty melt was huge and good! We all cleaned our plates! We were impressed for such a small town place to have such amazing food! We would definitely come back again! read more

Love the burgers and homemade fries and chips. They have a so many beer to try. Love the atmosphere.

Small towns mostly have cafes with bad coffee and supper clubs with too-salty food. Not in Perham! We found Brew and will definitely go back. The exterior and interior have a modern esthetic -- akin to Icehouse in Minneapolis with all the wood. The craft beer list is great (that's why we went), the apps were greasy, but grown up (get the gouda pickles), and I was delighted to find a Bahn Mi sandwich on the menu. It didn't taste like a real Bahn Mi, but was very good still. AND! The side salad was not iceberg lettuce! Needless to say, we're coming back. read more

Service was perfect no wait at all, 3 of us all ordered different things everything was awesome best burger i've had in a while, coworker loved the wings. Also the gouda wrapped pickles are a MUST!! Great beers on tap so many it's hard to choose l. read more

Great lunch! Sweet Potato Quinoa salad was excellent. Good beer selection. Far exceeded what we were expecting to find in Perham! Great little restaurant in this small town. read more

Best burgers ever! Great specialty drinks/beers on tap - and have to try the Gouda pickles!

Found this place by accident, happy accident. The Patty Melt was very good as was the Easy E sandwich. Their fries are super thin and crispy. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. Just really good food in a nice environment. read more

Have been here a couple times and typically great experience. The bar is really nicely decorated and they have a lot of beer varieties on tap. The latest stop here we had awful service. Our server was super inattentive and we actually ended up tipping the other server who was helping us more than our server. The thing that set us over the top was that we ordered a beer after our meal (wedge salad was great!) and instead of bringing us the beer, she brought us our bill without the beer even on it? We were very confused and just told her to forget it. Overall, great place, good food-just hope you get good service. read more

Hip, big city brewpub in small town mixes the best of two worlds. The variety, quality of food and selection of microbrews is what one typically expects with larger cities. Now you can enjoy a craft beer from local microbreweries and then head back to lake cabin. We had Gouda pickles which were so Gouda. If you do not like puns that is not my fault. Maybe talk with a counselor. Anyway, I had 2 pigs and a hen burger which was a burger(cooked medium to medium well so a little dry and was not asked how I wanted my burger cooked, and was also a little bland-without the pulled pork and bacon(very good) and an over easy egg(more over medium). Overall, the burger had good taste and some minor changes may make the difference. A sauce or aioli may be helpful to counter the dryness. The fries were thin cut and crispy and some were very good but the risk with thin cut is many of them were overlooked. The decor is industrial chic with lightly stained concrete floors, rough wood finishing work, finished off with repurposed artwork including a framed piece of corrugated metal with artwork over the metal. The logo for the restaurant is two hop buds below the name so it can be safe to infer the proprietors are beer fans. You will not be disappointed when you visit this place and will want to come back for more. 4 out of 5 stars for the decor, good beer, creative sandwiches, service, 3 out of 5 for the burger I had. read more

Great beer selection and specialty drinks. Amazing burgers, wings and a short menu of options. TV's, tunes and solid atmosphere.

Adorable and a welcome addition to downtown Perham. We vacation in the area and have always come to town for a few hours but haven't ever had great luck for dinner. Not now! My one complaint is that it seemed like many of the beers on the menu weren't available. Otherwise great place with cute character and good service. read more

I live in St.Paul, and Brew has the best tap beer selection of any bar I have been to in the twin cities. I have always gotten a great recommendation from the bartender, and they always have something on tap to suit anyone's taste. The food and the service here has always been great as well! read more

Best burger and brisket sandwich EVER!!! The fries were also good. The service was friendly and efficient. Would drive the 45 minutes again! It is great! If you are ever near Perham, make sure to stop by for a great meal! read more

Had the Frenchy burger today which was fantastic but came in second to the loaded Backed potato soup, that was an eleven. Food, drinks and service was great .Looking forward to next Friday! read more

Just wanted to order some appetizers to go, so I sat at the bar. Bad choice, finally got a menu and was ready to place my order, but bartenders wouldn't even look my way. Finally a waitress noticed me and asked if I'd been helped, I said no, they seem to be ignoring me. Got my order and the food was good. I have to say not a friendly place, no smiles here. Will continue going to the DL Brew where smiles are abundent. People if you don't like your job, get a new career. read more

10 of us stopped for Sunday lunch and thoroughly enjoyed it. Burgers are very good. Both fries and homemade chips are good but I would go with the chips. Cucumber salad was very good. They have 24 beers on tap-- go with the flight of 4. They have a patio and upstairs. We'll be back ... note reduced hours on Sunday read more

So disappointing, took an hour for food, wait staff disappeared for 20 minutes. Fries were crumbs and very greasy. Others times food and service were better. read more

Nice place to come have a beer and a burger. Nice selection of local and regional craft beer. Awesome friendly service and a nice menu. We enjoy stopping by when we're up at the lake. read more

Thoughly enjoyed our visit to Brew. Wonderful waitress Katie helped us through the beer selection. So many we choose to go with flights of four, wonderful idea! Don't miss out on the Gouda Pickles and their sprial potato chips (they melt in your mouth). Food was good the service was a little slow :-) Will most certainly go back! read more

Was great In the beginning but the quality has gone down substantially. Smaller burgers, food seems very greasy, quite loud inside and definitely needs to be new menu items. read more

One of our favorite places! Great selection of tap beers, u iq us cocktails and fabulous food! All this served by personable wait staff and bartenders! Super clean place, also has little hidden patio out back, and a cool loft for extra seating or events! The Gouda pickles are to die for, salads are the best around, great burgers and specials! Need a place to meet for happy hour or a date night? This is the place in Perham! Love the summer rhubarb spritzer! read more

Love this place! Trendy and upscale feeling but casual at the same time! Gouda pickles =

The food here is delicious. From their appetizers like the poutine to the Philly cheesesteak to the juicy burgers, everything that I have had here is delicious. Also they have a wide variety of beers on tap and specialty drinks. I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Food was amazing! Great selection of craft beer for my husband and I loved that they had gluten free options on the menu!

Amazing food and service in the lakes area. It about time good food can be found in this area. Thanks Brew for making every trip excellent.

Have been here a number of times and the food is always so good! They have a great variety of beers on tap to choose from and their beer cheese soup is fantastic! Staff is always friendly and the place is clean. read more
