Made a stop at BrewDog while in Manchester. This place is on a busy street and they are pretty well situated to catch some of the visitors in town and/or locals working in the busy city center. Also not far from Manchester Central convention center, Bridgewater Hall, and several hotels in the area. Service: everyone was friendly. Amy was super helpful and made some solid recommendations for beer to match my preferences. Food: the food was good. Typical pub food I suppose based on what others with me ordered. The special of the month - a fried chicken burger - was really good and came with two big pieces of thighs. The only thing worth mentioning - It seems like they were out of sauces everywhere. I asked for a cup of bbq sauce and got a super small portion. The host mentioned then ran out. Then when I checked the tables for ketchup and hot sauce, several of the bottles were empty or close to it. Not the biggest deal - just something to mention. read more

BrewDog Manchester - Bar area - Bars Near Me - Manchester, XGM

This is pretty much a franchise, and apparently they are all over Europe, but this was the only one that I actually visited. Look, it was a bit of a shame that they didn't accept cash, but they they have a pretty awesome range of beers. Then again this does happen to be a brew pub, but then again it is much more than a brew pub, it is actually more of an institution. The beers though, yeah the range was actually pretty good, and I'd certainly like to try some more of them. read more

A belated review of BrewDog, on at least my fourth visit. I demanded a tiny amount of delicious beer as was presented with a flight which is basically IDEAL for me as I got two small glass of light ale which I really enjoyed. I hate the BrewDog decor, it's ugly and looks like it isn't finished and doesn't make we want to stay there. I know it's their aesthetic but it could be done better (see TwentyTwentyTwo for e.g, or their own Underdog in Shoreditch). But now I know about this whole tiny glasses thing I shall be back more often. That chef who made the best pulled pork I've had in the UK has it seems left, it's no longer on the menu which is very sad indeed. The menu did actually look good though, another thing to try! read more

BrewDog Manchester - 4pm - Bars Near Me - Manchester, XGM

A great location! Very nice service and they have an outside patio, too! Highly recommend trying the Mallow Laser Quest milkshake IPA!

Oh, things started out alright. I'm in town from America with my 16-year-old son, who's allowed to drink a beer with me over a meal, unlike I. The US. In fact, the primary reason I picked BrewDog was because of its brewery / hotel hybrid. Have a meal and enjoy a flight of beers with my son to get him acclimated to the different kinds of beer and what they taste like. It was supposed to be a real father / son moment, and I even checked with UK law to make sure it was A-OK. Anyway, when I asked for a flight, the manager informed me they wouldn't be serving my teen any beer ... something about it being company policy. So then I jumped over to BrewDog's website to see if there's anything about the restaurant not serving to a 16-year-old when a parent is present. Spoiler alert: There's nothing on the website about this issue. So, it was a real stinker and disappointment that BrewDog denied service. To make matters more frustrating, I ordered a side salad with blue cheese dressing, instead of the vinegar whatever that usually comes with it and got both. I sent it back for one without vinegarette. Look, the place is cool and the beer is only slightly overrated, but if you come here, don't expect any consistency when it comes to honoring UK law. read more

I love BrewDog beer, it's tasty beer, they have good consistent beers and they have beers that when you taste em you think 'I didn't even realise you could do that with beer' it's a beering experience. But Toby this is what PSBH does, yes you are correct the new BrewDog bar is doing what PSBH does and that's to take people away from the mainstream and shove something in their faces they probably didn't know existed. The two places do however vary from each other, which is brilliant because that means they achieve your varying needs for awesome beer differently. I was partially-annoyed that the Council had denied BrewDogs license request up in the Northern quarter, I think it's ridiculous to stop new businesses to move into an area where their are so many empty units. But. It has definitely worked in my favour. BrewDogs beers obviously dominated the beer offerings on pump and in the fridge, which is okay because their beer is great, they do however stock a myriad of different breweries too, not to the same level as Port Street by a long stretch but they do have other offerings anyone who's inhabited there online store will recognise many that they've got in the fridge. Beer prices are similar to PSBH, BrewDog also offer more beers that you only get by the Shot and what I also pleasantly saw by the Third too. Being able to buy beers in different measures is very important, please please quieten down Mr Man shouting PINTS PINTS PINTS, pints are great if you're having a supping beer but if you're after trying a whole range of flavours getting different measures is a must and long may it continue to expand its presence on the beer scene. So Awesome beer selection achieved BrewDog serves food, now this is a biggy for me, in my eyes its the only thing that stops PSBH being the holy grail of Beering. BrewDog have pizzas and burgers from what I could see (I didn't actually manage to find a menu), I got myself a burger, as I say couldn't find a menu so not sure if there's chips as well but I don't think so as I didn't see anyone have any. and it was a really tasty burger good flavour going on, will definitely be partaking in that maybe during lunchtimes which I'll be able to do bringing me to my next point. BrewDog is not far off being on the opposite side of town to PSBH which is actually great...for me, PSBH is staggering distance to Picc Station where I am daily, and BrewDog is meandering distance from my office at Spinningfields(where I am at least in body, daily) brilliant! I can see BrewDog getting a lot of business from Spinningfields which really lacks heavily beer orientated establishments. BrewDog sports a small beer garden on the front, now If I've got my orientation right it's south facing which means I'm really keen to see how it fares over the summer I'm hoping for much relaxing out the front of the place with the sun beating down though I'm now sure how all the big tall buildings will factor in, I'll just have to do some research in the form of keeping attending BrewDog (it's a cross I'll have to bare but I'm prepared to do it) Inside I completely forgot to go upstairs like a numpty, it was partially because the place was PACKED and we literally grabbed a table inside as soon as we could which helpfully for us was 5 foot from the bar :-D PEURGH! *fist pump* Service was okay, this is not a negative, these guys were seriously rushed off their feet (it's opening weekend) so it was very much a take your order get it back to you bish bosh done, and based on one visit it would be massively short sighted of me to label the service permanently, at PSBH I like being able to chat to the staff get recommendations so I try something new, in BrewDog I didn't feel I could do that, though as I say this is not a permanent label on the staff the place was packed for it's opening weekend, hopefully over time when I'm in when it is quieter I'll get a good chin wag going over beer selection So BrewDog good beer, tasty food, alright location. Long may BrewDog continue to promote the Beer Revolution to Mancunia! read more

I popped in here for a cheeky pint after an evening meal. The place was rather busy but the service was still fast and friendly. I didn't realise this place did meals, I thought it was just nibbles and finger food so I was pleasantly surprised to see people eating proper meals, possibly somewhere to try in future. There's a wide choice of beers available and for those who aren't aren't a fan of beers they also have their own selection of soft drinks, wines and whisky. Great atmosphere plus there's board games to play if you're up for a laugh and can grab a table. Close to public transport links and there's a taxi rank right outside so crawling home is made easy at this great location :) read more

As BrewDog will soon be celebrating four years of trading in Manchester I felt it was about time for an update, considering the number of times I've darkened their door! They've remained a trusty city centre drinking destination of mine. A fair bit has changed during their first few years in our fair city - there's a partial mezzanine level so more seating space is available upstairs, equipped with 'ring for service' buttons which sounds more Downton Abbey than Punk Ass Bar but it's a great touch if you're lazy. Now we're getting back into the (hopefully) sunnier days the outside seating area is another bonus, though fills up quickly. Makes for a good people-watching spot if you can still focus after a couple of higher ABV beers that is. The beer menu above the bar is almost a feature in itself now (like those you see outside old cinemas), brightly displaying their offerings which is typically evenly split between BrewDog and non-BrewDog beers. Their bottle fridges are always stocked with great choices - check out the list in the small menu on the bar. Food options have obviously changed over the years and I have to admit that at first they were very well received, then (in my humble opinion) things went a tad downhill but from the most recent visit my friends ordered some burgers and they looked mighty tempting. I'll be sure to give them a try when I next can. A craft beer bar which, on opening, probably kick started a lot of the beer scene we now see. Regardless of whether you like their business model or not, they create discussion and make a good few very decent beers, and long may they stay in Manchester! read more

If there's somewhere I can guarantee frequent review updates on, it's BrewDog. An old faithful in terms of drinking dens, it's had my custom on more occasions than I'd care to admit. Although it remains consistent in regards to branding - that standard BrewDog, in your face spirit - their beer, menu and staff all change. So time to update. We visited on a Saturday night so, naturally, it was practically rammed. However, when comparing the queues down the street for Albert's Schloss and Revs de Cuba, I counted myself lucky for even being able to get in! A booth table quickly became free and the three of us set up for the evening. The guys headed up to the bar to try a few of the different beers, and I had a Sideburns cider, which was served cold and crisp. It's the food that has especially changed since I last visited; going from BBQ to burgers, I haven't been compelled to eat here in a while as I think they shunned their mac & cheese and brisket dishes too soon, but the fact we had a seat eventually swayed me. The other half and I shared some hot chicken wings, chilli tater tots and a juicey lucey burger. The wings were great - I'm a big fan of them being served so rustically, meaning you can imagine them actually attached to the chicken - and I could've eaten a bowl of the chilli on the tots alone. Unfortunately the burger was a big disappointment, with no melted cheese to be seen anywhere, and so salty I only ate half. The sides have bought me back round to considering BrewDog more than just a loyal boozer, though I think they should focus their efforts here rather than on burgers or big plates. Quick, easy and affordable. read more

Upon walking in the first thing you notice is the uninviting smell. I was tempted to walk out but decided to stay and seat myself upstairs. That was confusing in itself, but since a waiter came upstairs I won't deduct any points. The chicken burger was terrible. Undercooked. Stay away from the cola it had NO taste. I asked for the wings to have sauce on the side, although it came sauce on them it was tasty. My burger was excellent, as well as the chips(fries). The staff was nice and then environment was cool, attractive, busy but not overwhelming. I would eat here again. read more

Brew Dog is already pretty well known for it's, frankly ridiculous, range of ales, lagers, stouts, IPAs and porters. Today, for the first time, I experienced what happens if they also put their slightly obsessed minds to the perfect BBQ! I went for the Beef Brisket; two huge slices of sweet, peppery, tender meat, complimented by a huge chunk of crusty malted bread. On the sidelines, but not in a supporting role by any means, creamy, cheesey smoked mac and cheese. Last, but not least, a dollop of slaw and some crunchy pickles. I went for the signature Punk IPA with mine, which was brilliant, although they do make some very inspired sugestions for what to enjoy with each dish - fantastic! If you're in the mood for some smokey greatness (and it's after 4 on a weekday, 12 Fri - Sun) you should definitely let the Brew Dog off the leash (sorry...). read more

Beer heaven but pricy. I've been to Brewdog quite a few times. The first was for the amazing Christmas event with Yelp last year then every couple of months since. The interior is great but usually quite busy so it's not easy to get a table at the times we usually go. The beer selection is rally good, as you would expect, but they also have wine and spirits. I've asked them to make a dark and stormy cocktail for my before and they happily obliged. The staff are very knowledgeable about the drinks so if you are unsure what you might like just ask. I wanted mulled wine which they don't do but try happily recommended a beer they had used previously to make something like mulled wine. I haven't had the food since last Christmas but it was excellent then and another Yelper I know has great taste assures me the burgers are fantastic now. Overall a great place but do watch the prices, a few pints can easily add up here. read more

No matter how you feel about their marketing strategy, which has quieted down a notch lately now that I think about it, Brewdog is one of the few players that are spearheading the beer revolution, it's undeniable. I'm no expert but their beers are amongst the best I've ever tasted. Their bars are pretty cool and increased the level of comfort recently as well although it lacks a bit of music atmosphere. Play some good Rock n Roll guys!! The food is blooming delicious and great for the money as we tried earlier this year at an Elite Event. My only grump is the price of the beer. I understand the much higher cost compared to industrial beers but I'm actually comparing with the likes of Magic Rock, Thornbridge and Co and the beers at Brewdog consistently more expensive.... Or so it feels. Still, the quality is there, no question. Never had a boring beer at their bar! Let's not forget service is top notch, staff is knowledgeable and helpful and the place is always clean! read more

Love this place I will always try to come back here. The beer was amazing. AMAZING! When is was time to eat I ordered a Cluck Norris which is hands down the BEST chicken sandwich I have ever had. Ever. I still think about it longingly when I have other chicken sandwiches. The staff was amazing very attentive and seemed to be unbothered by all my questions about the brews on tap and my requests I highly recommend going. Great atmosphere. Amazing brews. Spectacular food. Please do me a favor just think of me right before your first bite of the Cluck Norris. God I can't wait to have another one! Enjoy. read more

As I don't drink, I went here primarily because I heard good things about the burgers, and ohhhh were they correct! The venue itself is trendy and modern in a "New York Loft" style, very clean lines and fancy dangling lightbulbs, and a big blue neon sign reading "IN HOPS WE TRUST", yet there were also a stack of classic board games to play by the seating area, which made it quite quirky :) Now I don't drink, but the barman offered me a sample of three beers which were the most popular beers and which would accompany the food well. He gave me great detail on the methods they are made in, and the flavour notes I would be able to detect, however because I don't drink, all three tasted like that nail varnish you put on your fingernails to stop you biting them. Yechhh!! I asked for a Fentimans Victorian Lemonade instead (they had a small but good quality selection of soft drinks). They have the beer specials on blackboards above the bar. I was amused by the one called "Tactical Nuclear Penguin" :P Also I should point out that the toilets were modern and pleasant, but when I was there, they needed cleaning, which was odd as the staff who were on were just stood around not doing very much and reading the paper... wouldn't have taken much to check the loos on occasion. Now I ordered "The Los Feliz" burger, which was described as "The Californian classic. Juicy griddled beef with American cheese, pickles, onions, lettuce and Punk IPA sauce". They also don't come with fries, because they're quite colossal burgers in themselves! Also, they were well priced, not these £14.00 burgers you get at some places which are all price tag and no delivery, (*cough*Smoak*cough*), but a very pleasant £5.75 I asked for mine without lettuce. It came out on a board, helpfully cut in half, and skewered to keep them together. Now this was one helluva burger. One of the best I've had in Manchester by far. It was cooked perfectly, still juicy and pink in the middle as burgers should be, and bursting with flavour! (So many places "cook the burger through, to be safe" meaning you often get a brown, dry, chewy burger. Not at Brewdog!) So although I can't vouch for the beers that make Brewdog famous, the food was superb, and reasonably priced, and I'd definitely go back! read more

In going to be honest here and tell you that despite the fact we went here yesterday, my recollection of this place is minimal. If that isn't a good sign, then I don't know what is! We went for the Arepa! Arepa! Arepa! Take over (which was excellent, by the way) and got stuck into all the beers they had. Started on one of the taster boards, and although there was plenty there that I enjoyed, it seemed a shame to not delve deeper into the menu and keep on sampling. Judging by my mounting bank statements, I can see that we ordered a couple of the more expensive bottles of beer, but would say that the price didn't make them any nicer. Just stronger. We had a bottle of Tokyo Norgo(I think it was called that) and a Dog B. Both were great, but the Dogma tasted just as nice and was a third of the price! Come here if you want good beer and food, and have some money to burn read more

BrewDog Manchester - The taster board of third pints - Bars Near Me - Manchester, XGM

I do have to declare upfront that I am a shareholder in Brewdog, but it is only four shares and just so that I get invited to the famous AGM each year so it is a fairly impartial review. Brewdog beers do not need any introduction with a selection of their own brewed beers, supplemented by some guest beers and a very good stock of bottles and cans as well, all from independent breweries. The bar is split into two with the ground floor level being bright(ish) and with the feel you'd expect from Brewdog, a few booths, a few high seated stools and tables. Upstairs however, there is a chesterfield sofa seated area which is intimate but if you are eating up there, don't expect to see what you are eating! The standard of food is pretty good, if limited. The chilli burger isn't too hot and spicy but has just about enough zing to it that you aren't going to slurp your beer down too quickly. read more

As an Equity Punk myself I easily spotted the Brew Dog logo as I walked through Manchester the other day on my way to the office.However it was 8:30 am and I decided that, even for me, that was a bit too early for a beer! When lunchtime beckoned however, and knowing that Brew Dog was on my route back to the Railway Station, you know where my belly took me! I didn't have long and luckily the service was helpful & efficient and I was soon tucking into my 'Juicy Lucy' burger with a craft beer alongside (see what I did there...?). A fabulous choice of beers, a good snack type menu and cool surroundings...this is why I love Brew Dog and it's business model! Why not 5*....I feel that prices for food are a little on the high side for what it is...but hey I'm an investor so maybe I shouldn't complain too much! And, aftrer all, I do get a good 20% discount during the week! :-) read more

Had a few Brewdogs previously at some Yelp events but not that keen on it as its more like an ale type beer rather than a "lager". I know lager is not a 'proper' beer but its what I like. Brewdog do all sorts of beers - different "flavours". I remember one tasting like lychee. Anyway, I tried one randomly on the menu - the second on the list. Cant remember the name unfortunately but it was £5. Some sort of IPA. It does close a bit "early" though. It was a Friday night and it closed at 1am. read more

In short: Atmosphere: warm and woody with limited lightings like your general pubs with casual sofas on the top floor. Beers: Delicious British made beer that has been brewed in Aberdeen, which includes lagers and pale ales. The best part about Brewdog is their craft beers which are brewed in limited quantities for those who are beer connoisseur. WIFI is available upon request which makes this a great place to work on your laptop instead of the traditional cafes. Plugs are available on the ground floor but not the top. read more

After being turned away from Albert Schloss after we left for the match, we decided to chance our luck at BrewDog. How glad where we, in the pouring rain, to be welcomed in with a smile from the door man! After having a nosey at the beers on offer we decided to go to Beaver town.... The beer, it was called Beaver town. It was Quite hoppy, fruity and dark, not my favourite if I'm being honest. Drinks are available in various sizes, half pints, schooners and pints for reasonable prices. The menu of drinks is very good and if you ask, you can sample some different beers! They also do a sampler board of all the available draught beers, we saw one being served and it looked quite impressive! The decor in Brewdog is cool, a bit Punkish?! If that's a word, that's what it reminds me of. The music was the perfect volume, enough so you cold hear it, but still have a conversation. Hats off to whoever set the play list up! If you are looking for a relaxed, easy atmosphere then Brewdog is definately the place to go, I will be back! read more

My first taste of Brewdog was in Edinburgh during the Fringe festival, my friend told me that this was the worlds strongest beer with maximum alcohol content! We were at the Brewdog bar there and it was totally grungy and VERY cool! Back to Manchester-- I was walking to work one day and suddenly spotted Brewdog Bar opening soon near St Peters Square (definitely put a smile on my face). I finally went there with my friends when they were visiting from Germany to make them try this awesome Scottish Beer! Even though they are German and usually not very generous with their compliments, they said -- We love this place! (Woohoo) We also ordered burgers and fries along with Beers and must say the food there is great too! I like the music which is usually rock and pop always a safe bet and a good catalyst for having fun! I have heard they have live performances and Juke Box nights as well (haven't been for one yet) and I cant wait to go for one. The price is very reasonable, half a pint costs 2. 20 which is more than affordable. Verdict: Great beer, good music and tasty burgers! Definitely going back more than once! read more

Let it be known, I am a massive fan of Brewdog. Whenever I'm near one I pretty much find it my duty to go in and have a pint of Punk IPA. Whilst the Manchester branch may not have the spectacular view of Kelvingrove art gallery that the Glasgow one does, I always find myself having a great night here. The food is pretty damn tasty too, with the tatter tots with chilli and cheese being a particular favourite of our group. What we do always find ourselves doing though is breaking out the cards against humanity and settling down for a night of laughs and good beer. Get there early though, as the booths tend to fill up pretty quick. read more

Great new Manchester spot for drinking AND food. Good brews, and they even do growlers, which are very popular at breweries in the States. They are big glass jugs of beer that you can purchase to take home, enjoy and bring back for refills. How eco-friendly and locally supportive is that? But seriously, forget about the beer for a second because MY GOD their pizza is unreal. Great, innovative toppings. Currently addicted to the spicy Santa Ana pizza (without chorizo... I'm vegetarian). I noted the Los Angeles influence of the menu (names of items and the flavors) and the trendy, Venice Beach style interior. It's a very cool place and I appreciate that it is in the Peter Street area and not in the Northern Quarter, which currently hogs all of the fun, independent businesses. read more

Brew Dog is great. I've been here loads of times in the past, once this summer for a World Cup panini sticker swapping event (no I'm not fourteen) and plenty of times before that just for drinks with mates. They have, as you would expect, a huge variety of beers and ales on their menu - I'm not usually one for drinking pints, but in here it seems silly not to! On Tuesday I came here with my two new flatmates and some of his mates too - so pints it was. Brew Dog has a great relaxed atmosphere where you can talk and get to know one another. The staff were friendly too and if you're feeling it, there are some board games in the corner that you can play. This, I love!! I've only had a burger here before, and it was a while back but from what i remember it was great. Burger, Pint, Scrabble - anyone? read more

I've only had drinks here so cannot comment on the food. However the drink (well...beer) selection is outstanding. Ok so it's pretty expensive. I've kind of accepted the fact that I need to shell out a fiver to get myself an exceptionally good beer these days. I think it's worth it. I really like the decor in brew dog; it's always cozy and I've never struggled to find a place to perch my bum, pint in hand. The bar staff are always helpful when I've been in, allowing me to sample various beers they have on offer before I buy anything. Last night I tried their dark ale called the zeitgeist which was recommended to me after I told the bartender that I was quite into porters at the moment. It was delicious!! Smooth but with a bit of a fizz and a coffee/chocolate like taste it. Yum!! Little tip for you...if you bring in an old board game they'll swap it for beer. Happy days!! read more

Final leg of the (pub) tour of Manchester brought us to BrewDog for some after dinner drinks. Now BrewDog is well familiar to me as living in London there are several branches around. I'm not usually a person who goes out of my way to go to a BrewDog, as their strong beers are usually over-hopped and not to my palate, but I'm also not someone who refuses to go, as I usually have a good time. It's got the usual hipstery BrewDog feel, and I ended up ordering the chai-spiced porter (1/3 pint because it's like 10% APV or something ridiculous). There didn't seemed to be much seating, but luckily Michael and Emily knew about the upstairs part, so we headed up there and perched on the couches. It was an enjoyable time and the chai-spiced porter was fantastic. So that helps me like a place. read more

Beer fan paradise. I am not going to go on about BrewDog beers...previous reviews will explain they need no introduction here... But please note this is the premier spot for imported craft (better) beer from around the globe. The guest selection is equally important to brewdog as their core range of own branded beer. Remember hops? No you probably don't...well..here you will never forget.. read more

It's brewdog. If you like brewdog beer, you can get it here. Let's face it, it could be an empty shell of a bar and people would still come - and it certainly isn't much more than an empty shell. So in this case the star rating system is irrelevant, any self-respecting beer fan already knows whether they like Brewdog beers or not before they go. My big grumble is the decor, it's all a bit uncomfortable. With beer you might want to hang out for a few hours and get a few rounds in, but the furniture of brewdog is all bare wood and metal - more of a "let's have a quick beer then move on" kind of place. I get that brewdog tries to be a bit edgy, but I'd much prefer a slightly more upmarket feel to go with the upmarket prices. The real surprise for me is the food. The BBQ easily stands up against the big boys of Manchester, and far exceeeds the half-assed offer I was expecting. Not sure I would head here solely for the food, but if I was drinking at Brewdog and felt hungry, I wouldn't hesitate to order something. read more

How have I not reviewed BrewDog before? I'm not a fan of beer so it isn't my first choice of places to visit. There is a large patio area at the front which is great when we have good weather but can obviously get busy. There is also seating upstairs which I didn't realise until my latest visit. They specialise in beer and ale which I am guessing you can tell by the title but they also offer a selection of wines, not a large selection, but a selection nonetheless. Their beer flights are a great way to try small servings of their ales and the prices are really good. They have regular guest ales too which change so you can always get something new in here. read more

We went here on opening weekend, and it was really busy with lots of different groups of people. There is a lovely new glass frontage to the building with a brick wall outside to differentiate it from other places nearby. When we went indoors, we were greeted by friendly bar staff who gave us tastes of the beers we wanted to try before we bought them. The beers on offer appear on a chalk board behind the bar. We went for a pint of 5am saint., and another amber ale, but whilst we are fans of ale, both tasted really hoppy which overpowered any other flavour we could taste. We really liked the bierkeller style layout with leaning posts and the odd chairs dotted around as well as the mezzanine floor, and the low hanging lights were a really nice touch too. I can't comment on food, as the only menu we saw was for bottles of beer. Whilst we were at Brewdog it was really steady tradewise. However. I'm not sure whether I would go back, unless it was maybe to try a guest ale. My husband and I both like tasty ales, but overpowering hoppy ales at up to £4.25 per pint won't have us rushing back in a hurry. read more

You've got to hand it to BrewDog, they're superb at making beer, designing a bar as it should be and marketing that makes you laugh. They also treat their staff really well it would appear as both BD bars I've been in have a really dedicated, happy and friendly team which makes for an even more pleasant experience. I popped in for a pint of my beloved 5am saint and it was fantastic as always. Hoppy of course, but that's what the BD boys are into it would seem. I must go back and sample some more along with the food. Exposing brick and beams is right up my alley decor-wise, as well as the low hanging light bulbs and neon "In hops we trust" signs..Music was good too, and not too loud to have a bit of a chat over. My student sized purse would not handle a long night out at £4.15 a pint of course, but craft brewers do tend to care a lot about their ingredients, which aren't cheap I'd imagine. Saying that, I don't remember paying over £4 in BD Glasgow for a pint but perhaps costs are lower there. It's a shame it's not in the Northern Quarter alright as there's not much else round in the way of bars and things that I'd be into. Gives you more of an excuse to stay at BD all night sampling the great selection I guess though! Woof! c* read more

Mmmm... beer. No, it isn't cheap but, man, it's good. This brewery chain is making its way across the UK bringing sweet, sweet brews to happy customers. Offering a wide variety of beers there's something for everyone (non-beer drinkers can go for the other less-great options but why would you want to?) - I love the Punk IPA. They also offer a range of food which I am yet to try. On my last visit, my friend ordered the chicken wings which he devoured in seconds before declaring them the second best chicken wings he had ever had. Not bad. Not bad at all. read more

Brew Dog pub has been around for about 5 years but this was my first time there. Small establishment...not your typical English pub scene but also not a typical microbrewery either. Decent selection of proprietary craft brews as well as "guest" brews...tap selection good and a fair selection of bottled beer as well. Decent burger/sandwich menu. It is refreshing to see a micro brewery in the UK... I had the Punk IPA which was a medium to strong hoppy IPA which I enjoyed...there was also a choice of a red ale and a porter. Pricing was fair at 5.50 pounds (about $6.50) a pint. read more

If it's beer you're after them Brew Dog should be right up your street. Located across from the Great Northern you would be hard pressed to find a city centre bar with a wider selection of quality ales (they also have a large selection of cider but it's not my kind of drink). It's not particularly flashy inside (although it does have its own style) and you won't find many fancy cocktails here, what you will get are some terrific beers and a nice friendly atmosphere, so if you want a quick pint after work then give it a go. Brew Dog knows exactly what it wants to be and what they do here, they do well. read more

I feel like I need to get to know Brewdog a bit better. But here's my initial review as a vague acquaintance. It looks great, inside and outside. I particularly love the 'In hops we trust' neon. As expected, lots of beer..I actually expected the whole thing to be more obnoxious than it is, judging from Brewdog's shtick. But it's all nicely presented, accessible (they do an intro flight which is great even for seasoned beer gluggers) and they have loads of other things to drink for those who just won't drink beer. As other Yelpers have said, some of this stuff is pricey. Don't be ashamed of asking how much something is if it's not displayed. Most of the pints are city centre average, £4-5 but some beers might be a LOT more. I'm keen to check out the food. Last time I was in I saw lots of groups tucking into dishes of fries and other things that looked ideal for sharing. And I love sharing. I was also impressed to see they have vegan options. It would be so easy for them not to cater to vegans but it looks like they put some effort in! Also I love that in the ladies toilets they have sanitary items, hair spray, deodorant, etc. A lovely little touch and for them, a low cost way to make customers feel more positively towards them. I think to get better acquainted with Brewdog I need to head here in its own right, rather than as a prelude to Almost Famous or Albert Hall. Watch this space. read more
