    One my favorite places in Boston great for walking watching the planes or grabbing a snack a good swim spot protected from ocean waves in pleasure bay.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Pizza: Dill Pickle (top), Linguica (right), and Sweet Dreams (bottom)... delicious!!

    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.

    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

    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

    Perfect pour

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Great ambiance and cool that it's dog friendly outside. Pizza was tasty as well. I sampled a few drinks off the menu and I feel like those could have been better.

It's easier if you go inside and order your drinks at the bar vs. waiting for someone to wait on you outside. We love their beer! The food is decent too. This past weekend, we ordered the chicken wings and the carrots. Both were tasty but not my favorite. Next time I will try something else. We also stop by often to pick up beers from the counter in the back. Service is always fast and friendly. They always offer me a box to carry it home. If you're interested in eating inside, better make a rez cause this place can get very busy!

We walked in and there was no hostess. The bartenders stood around and did not greet us. We had to go ask for service so that we can be seated (why?) and then once we were seated, it took a while for a server to take our order. Once we got our order, we never got our waters refilled and only were checked on to see if we'd want more alcohol. The menu was alright, though a bit basic. Food tasted fine. Presentation was basic and the little cup of fries seems stingy and unnecessary when there's already a tray. The alcohol was fine. I was pleased they had cocktails in a can (they have a distillery with a wide variety of spirits). No ciders though. The beer selection was good although the menu on the wall was not updated. It would've been good if we could just order from the wall but apparently the drafts and to-go menus are not updated. Overall very subpar service and unwelcoming pretentious vibes. Would not return.

However, I was happy to find that there was a cafe in the back corner that opens in the mornings. So on the way to work, I tried out their cute cafe and got a pumpkin-spiced latte with almond milk. Overall, the coffee was decent and wasn't bitter or burnt (which was impressive since when I visited, the cafe was very new with little experience). This definitely earns them points in my book. I will say that they lose points (in my books) just based on my personal preferences. First off, being a brewery, expect there to be a STRONG smell of beer. Even though I wasn't in there for long, I could still find myself getting a headache and not enjoying the strong smell. I'll also say that the service I received the morning I went wasn't the best, and the man who made my drink definitely did not want to be there. As I've mentioned in other reviews I've done, I rate places HEAVILY based on service and kindness. Overall, the coffee was decent, but there are better places to go on Waltham that I would rather go to instead.
