To resemble such an antiquated pub, Brewer's Bar and Grill was a very good dining experience. Specializing in craft beer, American pub food, and cocktails, I must say they food, drinks, and customer service was good. For food, of course the chicken wings are their staple food and the quality is good. They have a standard of allowing you to choose multiple wing sauces for wing orders of 10 or more. This is great because it doesn't restrict you to one flavor for large orders of wings. The burgers, pasta, and salads are also very good. My server was very helpful and exercised very friendly customer service. Overall a good experience. I will visit again when in West Reading, PA. read more

Fun restaurant and bar in the Reading, PA area! My friends and I were traveling through Pennsylvania and we wanted dinner, a place to watch a football game, and good food/beer. We found Brewer's on Yelp and and were very happy with our visit. Brewer's had a local feel to do it and a lively atmosphere for a Thursday night. The food menu has a large selection of different types of food so almost anyone can find something to eat. Great selection of beer with a lot of regional offerings. Also seem to run a special for different types of alcohol for most nights of the week ($6 large draft IPA beer on Thursday night). I ordered the brisket meatloaf sandwich that came with BBQ sauce and gouda cheese on top. The sandwich was very tasty and I especially enjoyed the pretzel roll it was served on. I liked that I was able to substitute a side of perogies instead of chips. The moon ranch grilled chicken sandwich was a little underwhelming and the moon sauce was the only positive to that sandwich. The service was good and our server checked back in with us multiple times during our visit. There's also a beer outlet with a large selection of craft beer attached to the restaurant so you can take local craft beer home with you. They call themselves a small place with the BIG selection! read more

As far as local eateries go, it would be tough to beat Brewer's Bar and Grill. On a recent trip to Reading, my family went back and forth on where to have dinner for the last night of our stay. It was between Brewer's and a popular chain restaurant. Let's see what good places there are around here, I argued in my final push to find a local spot. We were greeted by a warm ambiance of mirth, as the Steelers-Eagles game was on half of the TVs around which the bar was centered. The atmosphere was lively and the staff friendly. Immediately, we could tell it was the real deal, as the menu offered such local fare as pork and sauerkraut for New Year's, the regional favorite scrapple and an amazing, giant hot pretzel served with spicy brown mustard. Our server was super friendly and attentive. The kids got their cold drinks right away, and the beer selection was on-point. Our order was delicious throughout: mozzarella sticks, a cheeseburger, chicken tenders, a giant pretzel and a grilled chicken sandwich. (The kids also got menus they could color and crayons to keep them busy.) The entire atmosphere was a blast, and it would've been a great place to have a few more beers! read more

Traveled for business and ate here. There seems to be a lot of regular locals that eat here nightly but was able to get a seat at the bar. Decent bar food and great beer selection. It's a short walk from the Holiday Inn hotel so it was convenient. read more

A great place for lunch. Good atmosphere and ample menu selections; something for everyone. The service was friendly and helpful, and the server gave us plenty of time to chat, checking back occasionally to see if we'd decided without making us feel like we needed to hurry. Parking might be a little tight, but you can't hold that against the business. read more

Me and my colleague stopped by here the other day and had a great time. Big man Jordan was our server and he made it a great experience. We gave him shit and he dished it back. The food was great and so was the service However, I stopped by again before I left town and although everyone was nice when I walked in, the service from my waitress was horrible, I almost walked out after she walked away when I was trying to order something. It was like I was inconveniencing her by wanting to eat here. She had the hatefulness in her tone and I should have left but I was hungry. I ordered a beer and although was ready to order she walked away before I could stop her. By the looks of it she was pregnant but it didn't stop her from helping others at the bar. She must have known them but every time I tried to get her attention she gave me the FU look. The previous night we had at least 6 large beers and water between the two of us for the meal but I was barely able to get a glass of water when my meal came. She often sat at the table in the front and only once asked me how the meal was, and that was when I was almost finished. She asked if I wanted another beer but at this time I was ready to leave. She eventually brought my bill but dropped it on the table and walked away. Never said anything nice or inviting to return. I paid the bill but gave her a $2.00 tip. I should have kept it and gave it to the others but that's not my style. I would have given this place a much higher rating based on the great time with Jordan but it only takes one person to ruin the experience. I travel all over and when service sucks then it all sucks. read more

Brewer's Bar and Grill - What a big plate, Smoked Brisket Meatloaf Dinner. I couldn't finish it all. Great taste and price. - Sports Bars Near Me - West Reading, Pennsylvania

Tried this place for the first time Friday night. The service was friendly, accurate, and efficient. We sat at a big table near the bar. It was a bit noisy and crowded but our party of six really enjoyed themselves. We ordered mozzarella sticks and onion rings as appetizers. They came out crispy and hot! A variety of entrees were picked. I personally had the Brewers strip steak. It was flavorful and perfectly prepared to my liking. Everyone else in my party was pleased. The only negative was the broccoli, which was completely dry and flavorless. Also, it was noisy. FYI, you can find all sorts of people here - families, younger college students, middle aged folks, etc. It was a comfy hangout. read more

The menu is great. The food is usually very good. The service everytime we go is slow and unorganized. We've had servers take our order then another come to take our order a few minutes later. Things like this have happened more than one visit. We've experienced times where we have waited a very long time for drinks and our check. read more

We stopped here to try the wings as recommended by positive reviews from google and friends that were very happy with the quality of food. The chipotle blue cheese wings were the best I have ever tasted. I never tasted an amazing wing sauce like that before. The wings were drenched in sauce and somehow still crispy. They were excellent. My fiancé had the cheesy bacon fries. The friends were incredible and the best she has had in a very long time. Shoe string fries were the game changer for her. The bar was packed and service was very quick and excellent. Oh and the death sauce wings gave me the meat sweats about the 3rd wing in read more

Checked the reviews and decided to make a stop here for lunch. They had a few great specials for happy hours available on food and drinks. Waitress was fun and attentive.

Good bar food and a fun atmosphere. Friendly staff. Tried the shrimp appetizer this time and it was huge and and really good.

Really good neighborhood joint. The service was above average. The death sauce wings were far from death, but were crisp and had good flavor. The pizza was good, however, for the size and topping distribution over priced at almost $12.00. They have my favorite beer, Modello Especial on tap. Served with a lime in a 20 glass was a plus. I would come here again for sure when in West Reading. read more

I would leave less than one star if I could. Upon trying to enter the establishment on one of the hottest days of the year, the bouncers who had a horrible disposition, and were ogling women walking by; turned a friend and I away for wearing tank tops. When the heat was brought up- 3 bouncers showed up with the intention to intimidate. I will never be eating at this establishment again, as I believe it was a homophobic backed interaction. My friend and I are both gay men, and both of us were asked to leave to change our shirts. I would have been happy to; but it's the way in which I was spoken to that I am appalled by. I will let anyone and everyone know what kind of people this establishment employs. read more

I've come to this restaurant 5 times and there never was an issue about not being 21. I partially understand but the level of disrespect we received was extremely uncalled for and disappointing. The host was nice, the server was absolutely over the top for no reason. I'm a consumer who's eaten here before and wants to give it my business, not street trash. The food is extremely good. You guys should get better servers though. read more

It's Thank you Thursday and I want to thank Brewers for being my favorite local bar and grill. I always feel welcomed by the great staff who always knows my drinks and always makes me feel comfortable. This is just a great place to be! If you haven't been there yet please go and support a wonderful establishment. read more

Food was delicious but even more than that our waitress was kick ass amazing and so funny! We didn't get her name but we where there May 13, 2023 after 7pm. We where a whole group of about 17 walking in out of nowhere and 2 couples are business owners in the food/beverage industry. We all noticed she never gave an attitude about a sudden crowd. Not only that but she smiled and just got going! She made us laugh and was a complete package the whole time. Brewers- you have a winner with this one! read more

Horrible service. Everyone that works there is rude and unwelcoming to customers. I walked in to see a sign that said "wait to be seated". There was no host. I stood there for a few minutes and eventually went to the bar to see if I could get a seat. The bartender (who was not busy) was visibly annoyed that I asked him if I could get a table. He made a bunch of condescending remarks which I laughed off as sarcasm but he did get me a table. Food was atrocious. Period. Next night I went back with a group of 6 for drinks. It was the only place open and across from our hotel. Same situation. No one at the host stand. A party of 6 of us stood at the door waiting for almost 5 minutes. I approach the same bartender. He was more belligerent than the night before. As if he was ready to fight me for asking him nicely if we could be seated. When we finally got a host, they looked confused and annoyed. They didn't think they could accommodate 6 of us. Meanwhile, there was a 6 top with one guy eating at the table and 5 empty seats. It turned out, he was "security" at the bar. Still "on duty" but eating his lunch at a table and denying paying customers a spot. He finally got the hint and figured he should move. Then he proceeded to glare at us the entire time we spent our money there. Also, the waitress was annoyed and messed up all 6 orders. (We all ordered beer). If you find yourself hungry and thirsty and this place is the only thing open.... You're better off going hungry for the night. One star is too many for this place. read more

Multiple types of wings and a GREAT atmosphere to watch a game. Super friendly staff too will go again

So I pull into the hotel next door and the sign for this place catches my eye. That's a bit of an understatement because my last name is "Brewer." As you might expect it was mandatory that I stop in. I'm delighted that I did as this is a great neighborhood bar! It's no surprise that the place was nicely busy. All the pieces are in place for a good time- * A large square bar with plenty of TVs. * Seats around the perimeter if bar stools aren't your thing. * I love that they have a TouchTunes juke box so I can play songs from my smart phone app. * A separate entrance and room for take-out beer. * Non-smoking. Two aspects of this place deserve elaboration. The first is the excellent food. This is bar food at its best. These folks do not pretend to be a gastro pub. We're talking classic bar food but done very, very well. I tried the IPA Steak for $7.99. It gets the name because it includes Dogfish 60 Minute IPA mustard along with mushrooms, roasted peppers, and provolone. It was outstanding. Next is the beer list. Unless you live under a rock you know that the craft beer craze is in full swing. I travel a great deal and I've visited dozens of places that have dozens of taps. That's great but these folks go the other way. They have a few taps but they are nothing a beer aficionado like me dreams about. The amazing thing here is the bottle list of over 200 eclectic beers. The list is beautifully organized and it's easy to pick your poison. There were many beers here that I have never seen before. I was in heaven! Check out their list online. I don't get to Reading very often but I would go out of my way to visit here again if I travel anywhere close. read more

I always support local businesses and when I have friends in town I always try to share with them the positive West Reading experience in dining, eating and shopping. Sat 2.12.22 took company to Brewers for brews n food. Upon entering the bar was full and there was one high top available, greeted by a frumpy waitress I asked if we could have the high top she snapped " I'm not setting three people at a six seat table" ... she pointed us to the side room which we had no issue with. She gave us menus and said she be back. We chatted and decided what we wanted ... a couple minutes later she passed us and stopped at a table to chat with them then went out the other exit to the bar area. Again a few minutes later a friend of hers comes in and sits at the table behind us, she chats with her about her asthma attack she had earlier then disappeared again, we looked at each other and started discussing our other options. She appeared at the other end of the room through the bar started talking to a couple at that table, she made eye contact with us, but never came over or gestured to us. After waiting over 10 minutes we got up and walked down to the Third n Spruce Drafthouse... where we had several brews and appetizers. The owner even chatted with us a recommended some new brews. I always try and support local businesses ( during the pandemic when places were closed I ordered takeout from Brewers often ) and introduce visiting friends to our local flavors, but Brewers left a bad taste in our visitors mouth. read more

Brewer's Bar and Grill, in Reading, Pennsylvania, served me the tiniest slider on a pretzel roll ever. The beer selection was lacking in my opinion, but I did try a beer I cannot find in Colorado. Typical for a neighborhood bar, it was not too loud and there were televisions to watch sports or breaking news. Overall it was a very quaint place to visit. Check it out. You'll be glad you did. read more

The worst place to come to, I had one drink and they said I was flagged. Super sexiest and rude, I would never ever recommend this place to anyone. Bouncers are very rude!! Zero stars read more

Wow this place was just awful. The service was slow. I mean really slow. Like I thought the bartender was special. Then we get to the food. Wow. Gross. I ordered a cheesesteak. Apparently it sat in a bin for awhile. Came out cold and tasted like generic grocery store gravy soaked steak. I think they might have even put a squeeze of bbq sauce on it. Do go. read more

Don't even for a second pay attention to the haters reviews. This place is awesome and maintains through Covid!! Service is top notch and the food better. It's clean as could be and no one has an attitude of any sort. Try their seafood melt or one of their hundred craft beers. read more

A great place to get cheap drinks and listen to good music and dance (if you go on a weekend). The dance space really is just a corner of the bar without any tables to block it off. The other reviews are right. It's nothing fancy and it is small. Everyone is pretty casual so don't waste your time getting dolled up. The crowd is mixed. 20s to 50s. I went late with friends on a Saturday night and there were no seats. Party people were there so it was fun to watch. The hot sauce for the chicken wings is legit. Try it. Make sure you have a drink in your other hand. I heard that the food here during the day was pretty good. read more

Brewer's prices have gone way up while the service has gone way down (as noted in other recent reviews). The food here is still really good but the service is absolutely horrible. The cashiers in the retail store, bartenders, and some of the waiters seem to despise the customers who aren't their regulars. They won't have to worry about repeat business at this rate. I used to eat here regularly with friends and always brought out-of-towers. It looks like a dive from the outside and isn't pretty on the inside even with the remodel but it was a a nice place for the food and nice service. I lived just blocks away for 20 years before stepping foot in the former Kaley's Corner because of how it looked on the outside. I was pleasantly surprised when I finally went there with the neighbors. I will say I've noticed the service is better depending on the complexion of my company. When I went there alone to pickup an online order I waited 15 minutes in the retail area. The posted sign has an area pointing to the retail area directing one to go there to pickup online orders. While I waited there, a heavy set guy kept peeping from the doorway of a back room but he never asked if I needed help. Eventually he came out and walked right past me without making eye contact. I stopped him and asked for my order. He said I had to go to the bar (insert my silent expletive here). Sorry that I had already paid online with a large tip, I went to the bar and got my order. I made an online order some months later and went to the bar to pick it up when I got the text message that it was ready. When I got there, they told me it wasn't ready and made me wait about 20 minutes. They acted annoyed that I was hanging around and breathing the same air while I waited. I think they're pretty rude so I'll have to wait a very long time to get the bad taste out of my mouth before I go back there to dine in or takeout. read more

I came here during their kitchen renovation. Admittedly this puts them at a bit of a disadvantage. However, I rate based on the conditions of the meal I receive at any given time. The mark of a great restaurant is the ability to produce consistent quality. The environment here is divey, but fun. It's a perfectly good vibe to grab a beer and eat pub food. However, with the limited menu the options were very scant. There were a couple sandwiches and nachos. The nachos were only one step above bowling alley food. The cheese, chips, and chili all clearly came from a big bag from Sysco. The app lacked distinctive flavors and the toppings were not particularly fresh. I ate the whole thing because I was hungry, but I was not particularly happy about that. The service was great. My bartender was friendly, attentive, patient, and apologetic for the limited menu. I would consider coming back if I'm in the area to try the burger. I guess their grill was "under construction." read more

I had gotten sandwiches from this place when they first opened. They were some of the best in town. I've heard that they have since had several changes in the cook. Since then I've come to get some beer from the nice large selection in the to go section. Tonight I wanted a good cheesesteak. When I sat down I look at the very extensive menu and am impressed with all the options. I ordered the bacon and cheese fries for an appetizer. I ordered a cheesesteak with wiz wit for dinner. The food came out exceptionally fast. Cheesteak: The roll was nice and soft. The steak was very dry. Had absolutely no seasoning. Not even salt and pepper. It was just a plain dry flavorless sandwich. Nacon cheese fries: The fries themselves are those pathetic shoestring fries. They give you a full basket full. They are covered in a load of what seems like bacon bits and about a slice of deli mozzarella cheese. More disappointment. So I went to put ketchup on THEM (which I never do) to give them flavor ... the ketchup bottle is empty splattering all over the place. Overall, just sad that this place focus is on all the beer, and wings. Don't change cooks again. Just send this one to culinary institute to make your place rock like it used to. Its turning back into Kelly's corner read more
