We love to try new places and the menu looked interesting. I had the Brussels sprout salad and the Monte cristo sandwich. Hubby got nachos with pork and a Philly steak sandwich. Food was great! Very favorable- large portions. Service was a little slow- but we were there around 1:30 pm so the lunch rush was done. We took tons home and will be back! read more

Pizza was good. My husband enjoyed his calzone. Sangria was good. Bar tender was very friendly and helpful. Cool vibe! Not a 10/10 but good.

This place is so cute. They have a bar, cafe, little shop, and pottery painting area all in one large area. Plenty of tables of all sizes and shapes. I wish I was closer I'd be here regularly. I picked up food to go for lunch to take to the lake. I had a Chicken Bacon Ranch wrap and it was phenomenal. I love the big chunks of chicken. We also got a pretzel and beer cheese. So good. I love some house made beer cheese. My dad got the chicken salad sandwich and he really enjoyed it. Both sandwiches were huge. It's a lot of food. read more

My wife and I stopped in a couple of weeks ago after the boat races. We sat at the bar after I tried to look at the beer menu on the flat screen. I didn't see much that interested but on the other hand, the screen changed with such speed, I did not have much time to read about any specific beer. When I tried to read about some, the screen changed too fast for me to read much and I would have to wait for it to come around again. So we decided to sit down and order lunch. I then asked the server at the bar if he could tell me about any of the beers and his somewhat terse answer was " We have a screen over there, you can look at that." Not quite the answer a paying customer wants to here. So I order a beer that somewhat sounded like it might be nice and found that it came in a can. Again, not what I am used to from our local brewery - Second Crossing in Rockford. While we will still go to Celina from time to time and while there, find a place for lunch, it will not be this establishment. I will give my money to someone who will be happy that we are there and treat us like customers they want to see again. read more

A great spot for a bite in Celina! Our group of 5 adults and 4 toddlers and were easily able to be accommodated on a Saturday night. We sat out on the patio which was really pretty with tons of flowers but unfortunately there were TONS of bees! The beer list at Brew Nation is great and offers something to everyone's taste. We ordered dinner as well- there are a few options for kids which was great for our crew. It's counter service so we ordered and brought our numbers outside to our tables. The food was brought out pretty quickly and was very tasty! I would recommend the margherita pizza. It is self clean up, so make sure to bring your plates in to the garbage/dish station :) read more

Great local craft beer place in Celina which doubles as a restaurant (when open) and a cafe! Renovations were underway and folks were open for take out. Beautiful interior. They are about to open the out door area for dining customers. If you Yelp "Check in" there is an offer for 1$ off the smoked wings. We declined. However, the wood fired pizza looked delicious. Too bad I did not order ahead. Much of the Lake Rat Beer was out but they had a DIPA New England style called Oh My My which we took a 6 pack home. They actually make the 6 pack for you right on the spot. Pretty cool. I grabbed some of their wine too which I can't wait to try tonight. read more

I've been to Brew Nation twice now and I think it's in a great area right on Main Street Celina. There is free street parking and upon entering you'll notice a large area with quirky decor. Both times we've sat at the bar, where we are able to get direct food and bar service, however if you sit anywhere else you need to place both food and drink orders at separate areas of the restaurant. They have a rotating draft list featuring some Rat Lake home brews, local Ohio beers, and domestic. They also serve creative cocktails and wine. Unfortunately at both visits we encountered the same bartender and he wasn't the most welcoming and we definitely seemed to inconvenience him. It wasn't the most comfortable setting for both visits. I'm unsure we will make another trip back to Brew Nation, but rather visit some of the other great offerings in Celina. read more

A truly great place to hang out. One of the few places, unfortunately, in town who still capitalize on serving craft/ micro brewed beer. The food is great as well as the service and atmosphere. Definitely a place I would recommend to anyone visiting the area. read more

Brew Nation is the best bar in Celina. It has lots of beer. They have many local breweries on tap. It also has some food. They are in the same building as Java Nation. I was in earlier in the day for coffee. It was pretty good. This time it was time for beer. It has lots of good selections on tap. They have some from Lake Rat, which is right next to this. I ordered the Lake Rat Brew Juice. This is about $5 for a pint. It's not too strong of a beer, pretty light. This was not all that hoppy, and it was pretty smooth. It also has some food. It's mostly barbecue. They had a trivia night the last time. read more

Great Place!!! It has a store of gourmet items, they have music after 6. They had a Witch fest going on. We both had the Cuban sandwiches. My husband had it the original, I got pepper-jack cheese, and gave home the sweet pickle slices that were on the sandwich. But the dill pickle spear was mine, yum! I had the tea of the day which was a green tea. Lots of beer choices (Lake Rat Beers) my husband tried a few read more

Fun place, Monte Cristo panini was great! The charcuterie is very good. Their desserts are outstanding, best carrot cake ever! The bartender was friendly and polite, we will be back! read more

This is a great neighborhood spot for pizza, beer, wine, coffee and desserts. They're open until midnight on Friday and Saturday, but run a limited menu of appetizers and pizza after 8pm. They stop serving coffee around the same time. Pizza is probably your best option here, and they do a great job of it. Their pizza is baked in a wood fired oven, and they have delicious combinations of ingredients, some more unusual than others. We've been happy with every pizza we've tried here. On a recent visit we had the SWISS MOUNTAIN GOAT, a goat cheese pizza with an olive oil base instead of marinara, and it hit the spot. Live music is a common occurrence here, so check their schedule. It's usually on Friday and Saturday starting around 8 or 9pm, and it's always free. Be warned, it can get loud. We come here most often for coffee, because it is one of the best options in the area for Americanos and Lattes. There is a pass through to LAKE RAT BREWING, a local brewery with plentiful seating and a shuffleboard table for when you get competitive. Overall, this place makes Celina feel like a much larger, hipper city, and that's a good thing. read more

This place is so great! They offer a variety of craft beers on tap in addition to delicious coffee drinks! We have stopped here three different times now, and it has not disappointed yet! When we went yesterday, we each tried different craft beers, and the kids all had unlimited refills on their sodas. We played foosball and shuffle board while we waited for our food, and that kept everyone happy! The smoked chicken nachos were dynamite, and I can't help but get the chicken salad every time! I love the grapes and the seasoning in their chicken salad! Even though so many other menu items look good, I order the chicken salad croissant every time and leave happy that I did! :) The tables are all spread far apart and we never feel crowded or rushed when we're at Brew Nation! I am sure we will be back the next time a sporting event takes us through Celina! read more

I liked this place. Extensive (and good) selection of bottle and draft beers. Both domestic and imported Pizza was good too. Possibly three people could share 2 pizzas. I think the pizza is about average as far as price goes. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I think Bonnie was very pleasant. The atmosphere was neat. Exposed brick walls have it a trendy yet industrial feel. The open floor plan made the pace feel huge. There was a deli/general store feel to the back of that restaurant I really liked it but i don't know if i will make this my go to place fir dinner. Definately go to place for chill atmosphere and drinks with friends read more

I visit Celina with my fiancé maybe 3-4 times a year and I always tell him that we HAVE TO go to Brew Nation every single time! It's my favorite place in Celina. Their wood-fired pizza is phenomenal. Last night I got the potter house pizza which was chicken pesto, spinach, jalapeño jam, and I added bacon Also I'm a huge fan of their wine choices and gin & tonic! read more

I had been wanting to try Brew Nation for a while. Finally stopped for lunch . I had a sandwich that was good and a local beer that I enjoyed. Maybe it's just at lunch hour but staffing was minimal. I would have ordered a second beer but couldn't track down someone to serve it to me. The atmosphere is severely lacking. Feels like your dining in middle of someone's garage sale. I may try again if the dining area was upgraded. read more

Great food, great service. If there was a downside, it would be the parking. In their defense, I've only been there when the rest of downtown was open. Maybe after 5. The food and beer is worth the walk. All I know is I keep coming back read more

Tasty Texas brisket nachos, diverse rotating tap, and the imminent opening of lake rat brewing attached to brew nation? What's not to like! Also wine, food, and goods for sale in the back cafe style. read more

I was passing through on a Saturday and there was only about 15 people there. It was one of the worst atmospheres I've ever seen. The bar tender didn't even acknowledge I was there. She was more concerned with her phone than her customers. The music was ok but nothing special. I can't say anything about the beer or food because I didn't order anything because there was nothing at that place that made me want to stay so I left. Needless to say I will never be returning. read more

The atmosphere at Brew Nation is second to none. I've spent a lot of time catching up with friends here. Their chicken salad and Brisket are my favorite things to order! It's such a special place in Celina. read more

Brew Nation has changed and grown over the years, and its always been a good thing. From a single machine coffee counter and snacks to a small eatery. They now have an expanded coffee bar, local wine and beer, a sizable menu, and rumor is they are looking to start a brewery... Live entertainment is their specialty, and you can always find a great acoustic set on the weekends. The dining area is open and roomy, the aroma from the wood fire grill fills the air. We go for coffee on the weekend (standard, mocha, cappuccino, etc.) as well as a good selection of breakfast style items. Any of their wood fire grilled pizzas are a solid choice with a few drinks, friends and a nice time. read more

Excellent wood fire pizza with fast friendly service. Great selection of craft beers overall A delightful dining experience.

slow, the workers seem to ignore you and don't care that you are even there. Even the customers are rude and stare at you like you don't belong there or something. overpriced for small amounts of food. If I'm paying that much for something, then you need to put some. stupidly overpriced for what you get. read more

Absolutely love this place. It has everything from gourmet coffee and teas to pizzas and smoked chicken wings. It also has great selection of craft beers and full bar!! You can also enjoy live music on the weekends. Overall just a great place to hang out!! read more

Have now walked in 2x. Been totally Ignored 2x. Walked out and went someplace else 2x. It's not just a staffing issue but a serious design flaw as well. I've walked into a lot of restaurants in the past 50 years and I'm pretty sure this is the only place I've walked in to and had to walk to the back of the establishment to find an employee to greet me. It's very confusing as it looks like maybe your best bet at finding someone that works there is a bar along the wall. As my first visit was at lunch time with wife and kids, waking toward the bar for service was a red flag ("I don't think this place is gonna work") if memory serves we walked even further (this is a deep establishment) to more of a coffee bar. Still no one there. It was like 12:30pm. This is when my wife and I looked at each with questions of "are we suppose to be in here? Is this place even open?" We stood around for a few more minutes waiting for someone to kick us out or to greet us. Neither happened so we left. My return trip was solo a couple years later. Just a few months ago. I was excited. The logo. The name. The pics. Looked like I was gonna have a nice solo lunch. I pulled up and thought "waaait a minute. Feel like I've TRIED to eat here before." Same experience as before. This time I walked in just behind another couple that was as throughly confused as I about the process. There was a group of ladies eating and drinking at a table up front. The other couple interrupted them and asked if they had arrived after closing or what? The ladies instructed us to walk to the back and look for someone that worked there. We did. We failed. We all left. I'm totally sympathetic that through covid and even half into 2021 people paying under $15 per hour are dying for warm bodies and ecstatic to have employees that appear to give a damn. But when you walked into a restaurant at a prime lunch time and they lack visible staff and have little to no customers. Those are pretty big red flags. I'd recommend a simple door chime to alert the sole staff member napping in the back room, working in the kitchen, where ever they are to the fact that there is a potential customer to greet at the front of the building. read more

This is such a weird venue, with average beer and food. Come into what appeared to look like an FOP/Eagles/etc. lounge, alongside a plethora of Christmas decorations, among other home interior items for sale, in late January. The menu is absurdly random (e.g., coffee, pizza, BBQ?), none of which was particularly good. The service was decent, but I was waiting at the bar as the attendant was Facetiming a friend. Overall, it's a small-town coffee shop mixed in with a "brewery" and home goods store... can't say I'll even come back. read more

What a find! We were traveling from Michigan to Cincinnati and found this gem. My travel companions usually follow me down these Yelp rabbit holes, but I don't always find one like this. The lunch menu is eclectic and has just enough choices for 5 picky eaters to find something to enjoy. The decor is cool. We all enjoyed our meals and even took dessert on the road. (The bread pudding lasted 3 days, it's huge.) read more

I've always liked Brew Nation, but the last few times I've been, it's been disappointing. Recently, I went over lunch, and my meal and coffee were expensive, the service was slow, my food was made wrong, and my coffee and soup were cold. They are trying to be a big-city place, but they need people working there who know what they're doing. The idea for the place is good, but they're trying to do so many things-- coffee shop, cafe, bar, pizza place-- that they're not doing anything well. I probably won't be back for a while. read more

Love this place! Occasional live music on the weekends. They have a great menu with wood-fired pizzas that are always good!

Adored this place. One of the best wood fired pizzas I've ever eaten. Great craft beer selection.

Great food and beer at Brew Nation tonight. Brisket was perfect, as was the Italian sub my wife had. Cool space with a nice selection of beer made in house as well as guest taps. read more
