DRINKS ONLY REVIEW: The bartender was incredibly sweet! We went in on a Saturday while the World Cup game was going on so it was a very lively atmosphere. I got a flight and I really liked the beers. It was fairly busy during this time and we enjoyed looking at the decor and watching the game. This area is really cool as there is a dining food hall next door and a few restaurants around as well. All in all we had a good time and there were no complaints from us ! read more

Vegan Burgers were ok, fries were delicious sort of like hand cut fresh style. Service was good. The ambiance is very casual. Seating is a bit awkward with side seating in the walk way as people are bumping into tables with normal foot traffic in their restaurant, needless to say the seating arrangements has much room for improvement. The Vegan Burgers are served bland in flavours. Seems heated or warmed but not seasoned as expected in a burger. The ambiance of the burger itself is quite boring and basic. Really wanted to love the Vegan Burger but was much underwhelmed sadly. Sadly disappointed. Pictures speak for themselves. read more

Excellent service at the bar. All of the employees greeted us with friendly hospitality and made us feel at home. The food was hot and flavorful . Great experience, will have to revisit soon. Thank you Marion & Mikey read more

This is a great local brewery with friendly, attentive staff. Generous about samples. I got the IPA flight but the Eureka! is the best in my opinion. My colleague got the chicken wings with dry lemon pepper seasoning--not the direction I would take, but very tasty. We played jenga but I would've loved to try duck bowling. Next time! read more

Service was extremely quick and friendly. The overall environment is very unique and fun. Slightly loud due to the mini pin bowl inside. The beers were good with many options for those with a variety of preferences. The food was just okay which to say this is definitely a place more for the drinks and beer than the food to begin with. The fries however were easily some of the best fries I've had in a while read more

The lager beer was terrible! I ordered steak and cheese sub with well done vegetables in a toasted bun. The guy at the bar said no problem. I got a microwave sandwich vegetables not cooked at all. I asked for extra crispy french fries. If I didn't know better I would think they might've microwaved those also. My suggestion would be no one go there thinking they're going to eat good food.! read more

The whole complex is pretty amazing. Bridgeway was the only place I tried. The service was good. The food was OK. Had burgers and nachos. Just OK bar food. Beer wan pretty good. Sitting inside is a mess. If your not there for Duck Pin bowling I would go somewhere else. This place is way too small for duck pin lanes. It is very loud when people are bowling. Also 3% surcharge for using a credit card. Come on. You write off the card fees as an expense. Wont be back at least while this surcharge exists. Way to many other options at the castle. read more

Neat location but boy, our beers were not good. We had a Kolsch and a Hazy. Both lacked flavor and were very bitter. The server was kind and attentive, so no issues there, but we decided, sadly, that we wouldn't return. read more

Leaving a review only for the beer. Big wheat beer guy here. Their "Wheat Quacker Ale" beer is top 5 in my book. read more

The server was very nice and helpful, but the food and beer were not impressive. The strawberry one had a plastic taste. Like it was stored in a plastic container. The nachos had so much chicken on top, instead of distributed that was hard to eat the chips. Most got soggy. read more

Eric , our server, was so patient with our large group of 12 ppl. He was quite efficient and super friendly!!! We came for Trivia Night and had loads of fun. Food is good, typical bar food. We definitely enjoyed the beer!! Christian led the trivia game and he has an awesome deep voice (he could be a news broadcaster). Every staff member was so welcoming!! We had a fantastic time!!! We love this area at Bridgeway Station off of 385. read more

We have been here well over an hour. Had to flag down a server to order. Still have Not received out of food. Was told the kitchen was backed up. Others who arrived after we did have been served. I Do not recommend if you want to eat. Management was apologetic. Gave a gift card as compensation. read more

New to the area from San Francisco. Came to watch the 49er/Rams game. Asked the servers a few times to please put the game on the screen in front of us. Mind you none of the screens had the game on, just highlights of previous games. After about 10 minutes into the game it was finally added to the screen with no sound, just club music playing. Mind you this is a national televised game and the sound should have been on. The servers were rude when asked several times to please put the game on. Customer service was unpleasant and I will never step foot in here again. read more

Ordered the Friday fish and chips. The coleslaw was inedible as it was 50% mayo. The fries were good, but the fish was covered in huge amounts of fried grease and breading. We ate what we could but removed the breading. When the bartender asked if everything was okay, we showed him the issue. He just dumped it in the garbage and did not mention it to either the kitchen or the management. Nor did he ask if we wanted to try something else. I will never go back. Horrible customer service and bad food, when this was supposed to be the "special" on the menu. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed the No Flocks Given cocktail at BridgeWay Brewing. The venue is cute with the brewery barrels and pints available, and it's right near 385 off of Bridges Road at the Mauldin line. read more

Came here after the Father's Day car show. We sat in the booths and were told that it was for the bowling, but they let us sit and seemed bothered by us sitting there anyways. We were told that they had decent burgers by the host, just for a server to come and tell us they were out of wings, everything but salads, and the fryer was shut down already. The server asked what we'd want to drink, my dad said sweet tea and the server rudely said and pointed to the menu, "this is a brewery. We brew beer. Not tea." Thank you sir, I had no idea that this is a brewery. So we all got waters and then decided to leave. Between the lack of food, the rude comments/tone, and the lack of service we didn't want to support this business. Don't recommend this place at all. read more

Vegetarian choices are limited to salad options and no nonalcoholic beer choices. I understand they are new and are still figuring out their food, drinks, and a POS system so they don't have to get the customers card back after starting a tab on it. I would give them a month or two to figure things out. They have great potential. read more

The Pub was disappointing. Food was OK but totally no service whatso ever. No one ever acknowledged us as customers. There were no customers except for one man at bar drinking a beer and appeared to be part of staff of some sort. Our food was served on plastic with plastic utensils. Price was expensive but that would have been fine had there been a hint of service or even appreciation that we were customers. Management should train their staff read more

We just had a company event with Bridgeway brewery and it was great. Michelle and her staff were amazing. They were so friendly and willing to work with us on what we needed. The food was great and I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again. read more

We were underwhelmed. Things were just average. Not bad but not great either. Seating felt too tightly packed so we did not stay long.

BridgeWay Brewing is my new go-to spot for my whole family! We love sitting on the patio with our pup while our little one has a blast playing all the outdoor games like corn hole and Jenga, and the indoor duckpin bowling. They have so many great drink specials and the menu is always offering new and fun items to try, but I always have to order my fave, their chicken wings! Don't forget to ask about their seasonal brew on tap. I LOVE trying all their local craft beers-- they really are the best brewery I've found in town! read more

This a fine place to get a beer at the "castle" as we call it. Bridgeway I think others call it. Very cool architecture surrounding the restaurant. Quick access to the swamp rabbit trail over the beautiful newly opened interstate foot bridge! I don't know why they didn't do more of this architecture and theme inside this restaurant. Would have been epic! It's a sports bar brewery with tall ceilings. Good for what it is. Lots of TVs. Would dftly recommend everyone give it a try as they're finding their feet and need the at-bats. You can sit outside at picnic tables with beers which is probably the main draw in the warm season. They have a very cool spot under the brick pergola to sit and relax without loud music. There is a huge TV in the distance on the plaza wall in which to collectively watch Clemson. Go Tigers! They have duck bowling indoors which is a pretty cool little attraction to add some entertainment to the classic bar with TVs. But you can't sit by it and expect to talk to each other. It's very loud as you crash through for a strike. There is cornhole outside which is great fun for everyone. Maybe add another one if you're able! Some feedback for the GM/owners. Turn down the music. This is not a dance club. We can't hear ourselves talking inside. And it was not late in the day but even that. People want to talk if they're not dancing. Revisit the menu and its preparation. Remove the chips asap. They are not good. They're bad. I wouldn't order them if you're reading this. Fries were fine. Offer another option than a fried side. It's 2024. Even at a sports bar. You had side salad but it's an upcharge on already highly priced sandwiches. It feels like snack bar food at mid casual prices. That being said the burger is fine. You'll enjoy it. Just might be marked up 33%. Hosts and Servers need some coaching. But they were all very nice and mean well. Plates, silverware, napkins, waters, consistent rounds. Build and train the process. Best of luck, truly hope you succeed!! read more

Great Place! Great New Beer try the Seasonal! The service was good and atmosphere was great a little loud! Overall definitely going back! read more

It's opening day and a little crazy. Have some patience while they work out the kinks. My favorite person was KB. She is amazing behind the bar and you could tell, she runs the show. The food was terrific! We had the burgers because it was really busy and we thought it was easy. I did not love the nachos. I would add some kind of salsa and get rid of the lime goo. Emmanuel was great at clearing the dishes away. They were understaffed since 3 people called out. They definitely need some noise canceling wall attire but it's a terrific bar, and I would go see KB in a heartbeat! My suggestion to the staff, who are front of the house, please seat people, even if the kitchen is backed up. People can understand that a Kitchen is backed up, but they don't understand empty tables. All in all wonderful time was had by my husband and I so I will go back. See you soon! read more

If you live close to this location, definitely give them a try! The complex is really cool, I'd love to go back in the warmer weather, maybe there will be some outside seating? They are new, learning the ropes. We didn't have to wait to be seated at the bar. Bartender was very cordial, offered us a sample of the porter which we both really liked. Had the seasonal and Eureka, the hazy ipa, both very solid. Ordered caprese salad and the chicken tenders because they were out of the cheesesteak egg rolls. The tenders came with 3 awesome dipping sauces! All 3 very good. We found them to be a bit dark, overcooked slightly, but we ate em up. We appreciate the seasoning added after cooking too. The caprese was pretty standard but a classic. Again the finishing salt was nice. Other reviewers mentioned the noise, they have these neat bowling machines inside the main space. Although it was nice to see those folks enjoy themselves, the noise was a bit much for us. We are older n like a more chill bar atmosphere, just our personal taste. We get that some people would love having the bowling as an option while they sip their brews though. So give them a try and see what you think! (Our star rating is really for a noisy atmosphere.) read more

Unsure. Food was kind of mid, they need to serve pizza instead to keep it simple. Atmosphere is awesome. Place is next level in architecture. In the summer it is going to be a place to go. Decent service. Main thing here is unsure, feel like the kinks are gonna work out eventually. Will reassess in 6 months. Yours truly, read more

Started great, finished very poorly. The food was excellent and our server, Eric, was friendly, knowledgeable and got everything we needed quickly. There were nine of us and everyone in our group felt the same. As we were leaving, my wife and I decided to stick around for an espresso martini and the bartender made a great one. Then our 5 star experience quickly changed to barely one star. A woman who was clearly over-served latched on to my wife and I, and just would not leave us alone, no matter the hints we were dropping. She bragged several times that she was the owner and we were shocked to see such behavior from an owner. As her blathering dragged on, we became aware that this was not an uncommon occurrence. It also became obvious that the staff was embarrassed by it all, especially the younger ones. So, we abandoned our idea of having a second, possibly third round due to an insensitive comment she made to my wife. As we paid our tab, she offered to buy us another, but we really just wanted to get away from her. All we wanted to do was enjoy a few after dinner drinks before going home and the experience was ruined by the owner drunkenly invading our space and stealing some of our rare quality time together. Very sad. read more

Not sure I understand a lot of the negative reviews. I discovered this place during football season last year and can say it's one of the better places to watch a game in the area . The staff is accommodating , and will make sure the game is on that you want to watch . Great selection of beers and food and the Turkey Burnt End Cheesesteak is a must along with the wings. read more

My wife and I went, because it was new and we wanted to give it a shot. Well the waitress came and took our drink order. I wanted tea, well she said she said we are a brewery, we don't sell tea here. I laughed, and then ordered a lemonade. After we got our drinks. The waitress walks off, she doesn't even ask if we are ready to order. She passed by us 5 or 6 times. Well my wife and I got up and walked out. I have experience in the food industry. Within 10 minutes, the customers should have their drinks and their food order in. She failed poorly. read more

The service could have been better, the food was too expensive for the poor quality. I had a Smashburger which was adequate but nothing to rave about, the french fries were cold. My wife's order of the crab cakes was sent back, they were cold and were the worst-tasting crab cakes I have ever encountered. My son had wings, 6 wings, for $15 which is outrageous and in addition they were cold and he found them not to be good. The music and restaurant were way too loud. Some material should be put on the walls to dampen the sound. All in all, it was an unsatisfying meal and a poor service experience. My family will not be returning to this establishment. read more

2 stars only because the beer was good. The blonde bartender (mentioned in multiple previous reviews) gets 1 star.

Went with the wife to have lunch and try out the beer. 3 bartenders walk by multiple times in a less than packed brewery. The beer wasn't bad and my smash burger was tasty enough, but, the lettuce in the wife's salad was half brown. She ordered a shrimp Cobb salad and the tails were still on the shrimp. Not impressed. read more

We had lunch here today. A little pricey, but what isn't these days. I had the chicken tenders. They were very good. Not your your normal frozen then fry. They had a lot of flavor. My husband had the smash burger which he said was good, but could use more seasoning. The beers were cold and tasty. The wheat cracker was my favorite. The blonde was good, but a little too hoppy for me. The red was also good. Great atmosphere . Kid friendly. Worth a try. read more

I understand that this place is new, but come on 15 minutes for someone to come take our order. We sat across from the bar. 2 bartenders and both just aimlessly walking around. One kept refilling waters! This place is really loud with the bowling area. 25 minutes later we finally received the flight of beer. The flight did have 5 ounce glasses. We ordered the winter warmer, blue eyes blonde, duck bill English porter and wheat Quaker ale. The porter and the wheat are by far their best beers. They have liquor but no cocktail menu. The weird thing we noticed was a lot of people left full beers on the bar. We ordered some chicken strips and 5 minutes later they came. They were good. So apparently the kitchen is on point but the bartenders are kinda clueless. Hopefully they iron out some stuff. On an up note our waiter Josh was very attentive. read more

Pretty good brewery with some good brews and tasty food. Service was friendly and great. Definitely Worth going back.

Living within walking distance to Bridgeway Station we were excited about a brewery opening there. I really want them to succeed. I've visited 3 times now. The service is atrocious. It's a bar - all I'm expecting is to be brought a drink and food in a reasonable about of time. That's it. I truly don't understand why it takes so long to get a drink. On our last visit my wife and I asked to be seated outside. The hostess gave us menus and then we waited for 15 minutes for a server to come take our drink order. Except we didn't have a beer menu, so wait another 5 minutes for the server to bring one. It took 10 minutes for 2 beers. Almost 30 minutes from sitting down to having a beer. At a brewery. 35 minutes after ordering, we get our food. A chicken sandwich and burger. Waited another 8 minutes for the server to bring napkins and ketchup. I ordered a chicken sandwich with cheddar cheese and added bacon. It came with pepper jack cheese and no bacon. It's now been almost an hour since we sat down at the table. At this point I was hoping a manager could maybe help me out. I asked the hostess if I could speak with the manager. Hostess looks around and said the manager must not be here right now. I haven't experienced service this bad and slow at any other restaurant in town. Not once. Much less 3 times in a row. Something is fundamentally broken with the management of the brewery. I hope you can figure it out. read more

I know it is a fairly new establishment, but the staff here are not well-trained or very helpful. Tried to make a reservation for a group outing and it took a manager to be able to do that, and then called to get help with something yesterday and was told to wait after they helped a customer in person, which I told them was fine. I was left on the phone for 15 minutes until I finally hung up. Not only was I forgotten about, but I could hear the workers all chatting amongst themselves the whole time while ignoring the phone. When I tried calling back, the phone line was unreachable and it probably was for the remainder of the night (they also have no voicemail set up). read more

Food is terrible, our waitress was rude, and they play the music so loud (we were there in the early afternoon) and awful, that we couldn't talk. The only positive is that they have a full bar so the non-beer drinkers have options. I can't see this place working out if they don't get it together. read more

I will never go here again. I ordered the $13 burger and fries, and it was the TINIEST burger I have ever seen. Looked like it was probably 2.5/3oz before it was cooked. It was mediocre tasting, and the fries were served cold. You had to get up and fill your own water cup, which would have been fine had they not added 22% gratuity because we had a party of 6, and then they had the audacity to ask for a +5-9% tip on top of that when paying with card?!! Not to mention that they charge a 3% fee for credit cards. And it's not even the same server who waits on you; we had 3 different people come to our table. Bill ended up being $18 for a $13 burger. TERRIBLE all around, save your money and appetite and go to bourbon st burgers next door. read more

I really wanted to love this spot, close to home and I do enjoy a good brewery. First off, the hostess was very friendly and the beer was good. So there's that. They do have a full bar, so someone that doesn't drink beer, like my wife, has options, which is great. Now the food. Bad. Just bad. I got wings which are pretty easy, but they were WAY over cooked and the seasonings were not good. I think they're cooking the food and then tossing it back in the fryer to heat it up. These were bad even by bar food standards. My wife ordered some pretzels and even they were fried, and fried too long. The service was mediocre at best. Like many restaurants, my wife assumed the tables at the bar area were bar seating and grabbed us a table. Luckily I was still at the hostess station and she said those are for seating but since I was there we could just have that spot. Great! Meanwhile as I walk up to my wife to sit and explain that in the future we'd have to be seated at any table by the hostess, the blonde bartender was rudely telling my wife that she can't sit there. I explained to the bartender the situation and she backed off but she could have easily and politely said sorry you'll need to see the hostess. Bad first impression from someone making a living off of tips. When I used the bathroom, an employee was just finishing up and walked right out without washing. When I walked out of the bathroom back to my table, a guy was talking to a waitress behind the duck bowling machines, out of view of the main eating area, and encouraging her to drink some of his beer. After we got our food we were ignored to the point my wife left and I had to flag down the bar tender to bring me a check. And then the music. They play rap music, LOUD rap music. We've been twice and it was playing both times. I don't have a problem with rap, but not just rap the whole time, and it struck me as odd because it's not really for the masses. It's not a club, and it was only 5:00. I'd say the same thing about other genres of music too, needs to be appealing to the masses and played at a level that you can talk. Late night I get, sure. On the positive side, if you can get a table outside it's much more appealing. If you happen to like the castle architecture, it's pretty cool. There are plenty of TV's also; so that's great as well. I'd encourage you try it, but personally, we won't be back for some time hoping when we try again they have some things ironed out. And if we get that bartender again, we're turning around. read more
