My favorite brewery in Boston! They have a wide variety of beers, the pizza is delicious, and they have a patio! They also had board games available to play. I love coming here with my friends for a drink and to catch up. read more

Went to Castle Island Brewing for the Canada World Cup game and it was a pretty chill spot to watch. Not crowded at all, which made it easy to relax and actually enjoy the game. I tried the Flower Child and thought it was just alright... not bad, but nothing I'd go back for. The Surf God IPA was the winner though, really smooth and way better than expected. We also shared a pizza which did the job and was good for snacking while watching. Service was quick and the vibe was low-key in a good way. Solid place overall, especially if you want a quiet spot to grab a beer and watch a match. read more

My order: chai cider The review: Castle Island was so much fun! The vibes were great, the servers were awesome, attentive, and described everything that was gluten free. The chai cider (on tap) was so good, sweet but not too sweet, although seasonal so get it while you can! I can't wait to try next season's cider honestly. They also have a homemade seltzer and a spiked lemonade, which they said is popular. read more

Quick stop on way back from Boston and this place was google find. What a find it was, beer was great! I had more of a fruity one my friend enjoyed the stout w/ hints of coffee, it was ok stouts not my thing. The service was nice and friendly and we got food from the bardo's pizza that is located inside. ( you will have to go check out that review.) The place had a chill vibe, football and was hopping for a Sunday early evenings. Will be returning. read more

I think I'll have a beer Ok maybe two... Love a good brewery & Castle Island is indeed a great one. An extremely spacious & cool indoor space coupled with a very nice outdoor space for when the devious New England weather permits Friendly staff, great tasting beer with rotating specials & a full kitchen delivering the goods that pair well for all the beer drinkers. Be on the lookout for their events which does include live music. read more

This is a cool brewery that is located also near some wonderful work out studios and coffee shops and places to eat. This space is very spacious and plenty of room to hang and enjoy beers with friends and family. On nice days there is a big open outdoor area where they have picnic tables and standing room to enjoy the great Boston weather while enjoying some awesome Castle Island Beer. They also have hosted birthday parties here as well. When I was here there was one going on. The bartender was nice. This is a chill spot that I recommend checking out if you are in the area. read more

This place, is awesome. My wife, my 5 week old baby and I headed to Castle Island brewery after a brief jaunt at Castle Island (proper) and boy were we knocked out of our stroller. The vibe was perfect for a sunny spring day, good music, flavor bomb flights, and one of the best bar pizzas around (the Sweet Dream with pillows of ricott', Roni' and hot honey). I was so overwhelmed I purchased a Bardo's shirt. To top it off Hector the floor manager, hooked our baby and dog up with some special treats. I really only post on YELP when people go above and beyond, and this was 100% the case. I will be back for some more good times! read more

A fun place to hang around to check out beers and play a board game with the kids but didn't like the service at front desk. We just tried couple of beers and didn't try any food. The place has a feel of a brewery inside a factory setup. read more

Surprised how dead it was on Monday night football, but maybe because no one likes football in this part of town? haha. Not sure. Beers were tasty. Good service. Huge space to accommodate a bigger crowd, but curiously empty when I went. read more

The beer was fantastic. The pizza from Bardo's was great. Get the linguica. The star of the show is Meredith. She wowed us with her knowledge and customer service. Pizza and beer geeks will not be disappointed here. read more

This was a good clean brewery with good beers. We shared pretzels appetizer and it was good. I would return

Service is shite. The employees just chit chat behind the bar. Bar pie is excellent though.

Been here a couple times now for drinks and ordered pizza for dinner... Wow! the pizza was fantastic!! I don't know how they cook it but it's a thin crust pizza that has a nice crunch. I'm no pizza expert but I feel like that's hard to achieve!! Their pizza menu is also different than the norm - but in a good way! I highly recommend their Sweet Dreams pizza; the honey, ricotta, and pepperoni combo was superb. The food was also made and delivered in a timely manner. Nothing but good vibes at Castle Island Brewery!! Will definitely go back again. read more

Castle Island - Pizza: Dill Pickle (top), Linguica (right), and Sweet Dreams (bottom)... delicious!! - Breweries Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Cool brewery in southie! Went here on a Saturday evening and it was packed. The brewery is huge inside with plenty of places roam stand with picnic style tables in the back. Luckily my friend and I were able to get two seats at the bar shortly after getting there! The service and great and quick. Water is self serve. There are so many drink and food options. We split both the pickle and the social climber- delicious! Can't wait to go back read more

5 stars for the Pizza and 4 for the beer. The pizza was that good that it pushed up the rating, and the indoor/outdoor environment is dog and kid friendly makes for a great visit. I normally go to a brewery to try the various brews, but I would come here for the pizza first. They have a Bardos pizza onsite and it is fantastic - the "bar pizza" that South Boston originated and Bardos perfected is just amazing - the caramelized crust edges with mild char from the pan really add to the texture and flavor for this type of pizza. They advertise that the pizzas are big enough to share or if hungry you can eat your own. We got two so we could share and try different ones and this was a good choice. The Sweet Dreams with pepperoni, ricotta cheese, and hot habanero honey was sweet and tasty, and contrasted well with the Social Climber which was more savory with sausage, and Mama Lil's Peppers. Writing this review is making me hungry to have some more. As for the beer, they are a good craft brewery with several styles including lagers, pilsners, IPAs and hazy IPAs, as well as hard seltzers. The Untappd app shows they sometimes make well regarded stouts but sadly none were on the menu during our visit. The vibe is fine as you can sit in or outdoors and it has that warehouse feel local to the area. The staff were friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend this place. Now my search begins to find Bar pizza in other cities which I fear won't be as good read more

Great pizza, spacious interior, al fresco seating, and fun activities for groups large and small Lots of tables and chairs at 1p on a Sunday. Order your food at the bar. They serve a variety of pizzas, salads and apps. The Sweet Dreams (hot honey, pepperoni) was the best one we tried. The Mushroom pizza was standard--nothing fancy. The South of the Border salad was nice, but needed more sweet potato!! I forgot what brand of kombucha we had, but I wished the fermentation had been stronger. We tried the lavender jasmine and pineapple flavors. By mid-afternoon, there were tons more people milling about outside playing cornhole. Castle Island also had a sizeable collection of board games and books for your entertainment! read more

I had a great time catching up with friends at Castle Island Brewing recently! I'm not a beer aficionado, but everything I tried was top notch! Loved the chocolate stout that I failed to take a photo of. The pizza is really good! I spied some other goodies on the menu that I'd like to go back for. Huge space; gets a little loud but still manageable for a conversation. Great spot in Southie! read more

This is a great brewery, they have a good variety of beers and the best food menu items are definitely the pizzas. Seating is easy to find, they also have an outdoor area. My only complaint is the last time we went, there was a reserved party going on which is normally not an issue but the music their DJ was playing was LOUD! So loud that you couldn't hear the person next to you, so we opted to sit in the outdoor area while it was raining a bit. read more

Spacious brewery with large seating area both indoors & outdoors. Service was great, the beertenders were welcoming, fun, and very attentive. Food: we ordered one of their pizzas. Unfortunately, it fell short for us. The flavors on the pizza just didn't balance the way we had hoped. Beer: the star (duh). Beer selection rocked and every single one tasted great! read more

Im glad that the manager reached out to get a better understanding of a disappointing experience. We have been back twice since and the pizza, wings, and beers were all just as delicious as we remembered! read more

I actually ordered a pizza to go by phone,not knowing how great this place was inside. Upon my arrival, I sat at the bar and ordered a wheat beer. Simply fantastic! This place has a great selection of beers on tap. After my pizza arrived we decided to eat here and enjoy the atmosphere. The bartenders were friendly and attentive and made sure our glasses were full. The pizza was really good too. They char the outer edges of the crust which gives it a good flavor. My daughter had a salad, which she said was fresh and delicious. This place is jumping though, by the time we left, it was standing room only. So try to get there early, not sure if they take reservations. Also, I am Eager to try the wings on my next visit. read more

I LOVE this place. I stop in semi-often to grab a beer when I'm in the area and I'm also so curious to see what the brewer's have been up to. There are some creative brews that are freaking delicious, but sadly limited offering. If anyone cares, please please please bring back the Drag Brunch brew - I loved it SO much. The pizza place here serves bar pizza and that is also really really good. It's the perfect place for pizza and a beer. There are screens showing sports and plenty of seating to play a game of cards with friends. I can't say I'd recommend it as a place to have a talking-forward date or hang out as it can be pretty loud. read more

Fun addition to the area! Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating, great selection of beers and delicious pizza and wings! read more

Had a great time here - the space is huge (can be quite echo-y if it's full) and the beers were very good. We had a flight and a few standalones and everything was good, they had a nice variety of IPAs, sours, stouts, etc. which was great for someone like me who doesn't love IPAs. Service was great and the extensive food menu is a plus. We'll definitely be back! read more

Super fun place with a huge beer selection. I had some seltzers and they were great. The staff was super friendly and nice, it created a great atmosphere. The bar pizza here is also probably the best I have found in Boston, it was just delicious. read more

We were greeted with friendly staff and seated in a dog friendly zone outside . I chose the Light Castle Island brew and my wife chose a pomegranite seltzer both were exactly as promised perfect.We ordered a Baredo's bar pizza cooked to perfection and delicious . Our visit felt welcoming and we will definitely be back . read more

What a fun brewery in southie! It was a very open concept layout with room for sitting and standing. We managed to get a table for a large group without a reservation on a Saturday evening. Our server, Carl, was fantastic. We got a pitcher of the sour beer to share. Great sour, if you like a more fruity flavor. Don't sleep on the pickle pizza. It was awesome, if you like pickles. Overall great experience! read more

This brewery is in a great location; easy to walk to, accessible by T, and street parking available nearby as well. The staff was friendly and approachable. It was too cold for the patio, but I can see it being a huge hit. The beer was great; I tried several types. I do wish they had a flight available to choose though. My party also got the pizza which is deemed to be like "south shore bar pizza" and it really was. I highly recommend it! I got the "Social Climber" pizza and it was amazing. Definitely worth the stop! read more

Went In for a beer Saturday at 10:15 and was told they just called last call. Website says midnight. Disappointed as we wanted a drink and food. Change your website folks. Plus there were numerous people at tables could have said sorry folks closed early but a quick beer while tables and OTHER bar customers finished up would have been nice. Neighborhood sucks it's hard to find anyone open after 10. read more

Justin and Joey (J&J) are the faces of this brewery! They make such a great team and brought water to our table asap. The Vietnamese coffee inspired nitro was my favorite, and my date enjoyed the pink sour beer that was 5.5%! Everything was so unique and we will definitely come again to order more of Justin's recommendation of the IPA with hints of orange and marmalade (: they both deserve huge raises and made my date's and my night!! read more

I was looking to get my family and I a couple pizza's. The pizza was horrible. I had to throw them out. They were cheese pizza. The were burnt on outside. The trays they come in had stuck to the pizza. And the cheese looked very clumpy. They looked so back from the cheese and being burnt, an also the trays sticking to them leaving paper on the pizza. Needless to say they were thrown in the trash. I reached out twice to castle island brewery. First time I spoke with a brewer manager said he would take care of it. Never did. I called back again and got Kevin special events manager. Neglected to do anything. Other than take down my number. It seems impossible to get a resolution. I will no longer choose your establishment from this moment forward. Certainly we be sure to let all family friends and businesses know my experience. read more

Tasty beers, friendly staff, and some off the wall pizzas (though I haven't had any, the toppings qualify as nutso bonkers). Also near a bunch of solid restaurants if bar pizza isn't your thing. Highly recommend if you like beer and are a nice person. I should also mention that Liam, one of the beertenders, is super friendly and obviously deserving of a raise! read more
