On a particular Saturday, we had friends up from Huntsville, and as always, a tour of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail was a must. After leaving yet another distillery, the ladies in our group wanted to head to Georgetown for some shopping. The other guy in our party was about as thrilled at the idea of shopping as he'd be about getting a root canal without anesthesia--and I was in full agreement. As we searched for a parking spot along the crowded Georgetown Main Street, I spotted Chinquapin Brewing and immediately declared that the men would be there. "Just come pick us up when you're done," I told them. My wife and our friend were more than happy to leave us in front of TVs and beer while they wandered in and out of the local shops. It was the first time either of us had been to the brewery. Right away, I loved seeing the brewing equipment set up in the back of the bar. We scanned the QR code on the table and pulled up the beer menu. I'm a big fan of red ales and was happy to see one offered. My friend is less adventurous than I am, so he stuck with his tried-and-true Guinness. I opened a tab, and we started enjoying our beers. The red ale was very good--so good that I ordered more than one. My friend's Guinness was going down way too easily, and he ordered another as well. Eventually, the ladies came to retrieve us, and my wife even added a bourbon to my tab. We sat together and enjoyed one last round. We didn't try any food, but the beer and the service were excellent. I'm already looking forward to our next "shopping trip" to Georgetown so I can sample more of their offerings. read more

Ran in to check out this place and it's quite pretty with their wood bar. There were lots of beer options and we were super excited to try the gingerbread beer! Unfortunately they didn't have growlers and weren't able to fill mine. Ended up getting a can of the hefeweizen, it was very malt forward and just not my favorite. The pizzas seem pretty solid, they make them fresh so they come out fresh and hot. The beesting was pretty good, I was expecting more flavor from the hot honey and I really couldn't taste the basil. read more

Food: pizza was home made so that's supposed to be a plus, but it was not good at all Service: you wait on yourself Ambiance: several tv to watch sports and live music. Atmosphere is good, but I wouldn't go for the food. read more

This is great hang out before a football game at Georgetown College. Pizza is really good. Recommend the pretzel paired with a good beer. They do serve wine & various fountain sodas for non beer drinkers. Laid back and very chill. You order at the bar. Food gets delivered to your table. There is no wait staff. Clean up after yourself. Garbage located by food window. read more

I found this place while visiting the area for work. The service was terrific, and the ambiance is amazing. I ordered the spicy pepperoni pizza (I can't remember the official name) and wings, which were both delicious. I will definitely return if I am ever back in the area. read more

Stoped in here for an easy dinner after a day of travel. Unexpectedly walked in to their Power Ballad Bingo Night and it was so much fun. Hostess was just so welcoming and helpful. Pizza was delicious, beer was cold, service was quick, and we had a lot of fun. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and we will be back. Thank you for a fun night. read more

The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between laid-back and lively, making it ideal for everything from casual hangouts to date nights. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and more than happy to offer beer samples to help me decide. As for the beer--delicious. Whether you're into crisp lagers, hoppy IPAs, or smooth stouts, they have something for every palate. I especially loved the blueberry cider, which had just the right balance of flavor and drinkability. Now, let's talk pizza. The crust was the real star--crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, with the perfect char. Toppings were fresh, creative, and generous without being over the top. I had the buffalo chicken pizza on cauliflower crust. My hubby had "build your own pizza". Overall, this place is one of those rare spots that does both food and drink equally well. It's definitely worth a visit--and a return trip. read more

Bartender was amazing at handling drink and food orders. Pizza was tasty, but in my opinion heavy on the crust. Nice atmosphere.

What a great place. Sat at the bar and honestly just felt like home. Bartender's were great and rarely do you see the owner of the place cleaning glasses! Had the Brooklyn pizza and being from Philly I gotta say was the top 3 brick oven pizza I've ever ate! Sat near a couple locals who were very cool as well. Bought a tee shirt for the Mrs! 1st time staying in Georgetown for our annual trip to Keeneland but we will be back!! Lots of local beer selections as well. Guys please go to this brewery. You won't be disappointed!! read more

We came in during a very busy time, I'm sure the wait for a table would have been hours, this place is huge! But luckily there were 2 seats at the bar! Service was great, I got the chicken tenders and my husband got a burger. His burger was good, but the sweet potato fries were super cold and the dipping sauce was absolutely disgusting, not sure what it was made of. My tenders were perfection, but for some reason they gave me 2 baked potatoes. We would recommend this place... if you can get in! read more

We ordered potato skins as an appetizer which were very good. Pizza was delivered quickly and tasted fresh. Beer on tap was very good. Service was good but one needs some local knowledge to navigate this process as they don't really have wait staff. Nice atmosphere with plenty of seating. read more

The chicken wings are awesome! We had naked (delicious and crispy) and Buffalo (excellent heat level). They are really meaty wings and cooked perfectly! The nice pour of ice cold Cougar Bait was an excellent beer to go with the wings. I will be back often! I'll try their wood fired pizza next time to go with the epic wings. read more

Not into writing reviews. However...felt compelled to share. Visiting from out of town. Started out well. Nice atmosphere. But in the end, the service was disappointing. Bartender just rude. Cashed out and found a friendlier option up the street. read more

Pizza was delicious, and beer was well above average. I was surprised by the high costs, which I thought we out of line for the value received. Staff at bar was friendly, but this clearly is a place for locals - we did not feel welcome. Decor is eclectic. read more

My wife and I stopped in for a quick lunch and we had a realllly good Buffalo chicken pizza. The portion size was perfect for two and the pizza was well priced. Be sure to order at the bar! read more

I haven't been here since new ownership, They have pretty good beer selection & food was good. Place has a good vibe & we will be back.... read more

Chinkapin Brewing - What's on tap - Brewpubs Near Me - Georgetown, Kentucky

Food is good but inconsistent, wings one day big the next small and overcooked. Would I go out of my way for the food. Hard no!

We were visiting Georgetown for a wedding and stumbled upon this awesome brewery. We were greeted by the friendliest bartender and she gave us a lot of useful information about the brewery and various drinks on tap. They have 3 home taps and the others are features from local breweries including Country Boy. I loved the Peach cider the most! Noticing the open concept kitchen with wood fire oven, we ordered a pretzel and some pizzas. The pretzel was salty and crunchy on the outside while not dry at all on the inside. The pizzas were so flavorful and the crust gives you that wood grilled taste which I love. The pizza actually reminded me of some of the pizza we ate in Italy, delicious! There are lounge chairs in the front, plenty of seating at the bar, and tables in the middle. There truly is something for everyone at this brewery and I would definitely recommend on your next trip to Kentucky! read more

A friend and I went for a late dinner at Chinkapin Brewing last week during the Festival of the Horse in Georgetown. I was immediately impressed the second I walked in the door. I loved the atmosphere, and the thought they put into decorating the place the way they did. They have high top tables, normal 4 person tables, and a cozy couch up front! Although all the beer and mixed drinks we saw looked amazing, we just went to get a meal this time! The pizza is truly to die for. If you're a wood fire oven pizza person then this place has your name all over it. I recommend you and your friends getting different pizzas and sharing so you can try more things! The staff was incredibly kind and I believe I might have spoke with the gentleman that owned it. He was also very friendly to us! I wish I would have taken more pictures than this to share more of the experience, but trust me when I say it's a place you definitely want to try when you're in Georgetown! P.S. Coke product establishment for those who celebrate! read more

Best pizza and pizza crust I've ever had!!! Came here for the beer (and the craft beer selection is phenomenal), but the pizza blew me away. Cozy atmosphere, live music and games, and family friendly staff as well. Highly recommended even if you have to drive there from far away. read more

Stopped in on Memorial Day. Ambiance was great, craft beer selection and quality is second to none. We ordered a spinach, mushroom, banana pepper and tomato veggie pizza. When our pizza arrived, there was no spinach, one mushroom, one tomato slice and one banana pepper chip per slice. Never experienced such skimpy toppings on a pizza. The crust, however, was perfect. We ate and left. I will return for a cold one but will not eat. read more

Ordered pizza and wings via doordash for first tome ever. I chose Chinkapin because my 3 sons like to go there when they come visit and food has generally good with the occasional edge burned pizza . DoorDash was great , wings were good but pizza BADLY burned. They should have thrown it in the trash and started over. Instead they chose to send it in out the door. Thats unfortunate and a lesson learned. read more

The buffalo wings are some of the best I've had! Great service while at the bar and provided great recommendations on beers for a flight.

Really really good pizza. We've tried them a couple of times lately and every time we've had great pizza. We recently moved from the NYC area and good pizza is a must. Chinkapin didn't disappoint. read more

I still like their pizza the best here in Georgetown. Easy environment. Service staff and helpful and kind. It was a little loud in the place the last time we were there . There were many people there! That's a good sign! read more

In town for business and I wanted a good pizza. Saw several other reviews on the great pizzas from here and they were right. Their own brewed IPA was great as well. This is definitely on my list for my next visit. read more

Kelsey was very knowledgeable and hospitable to us. The beer and cider selections were outstanding. The pizza could've used a bit more protein but the crust was really good and everything was fresh. read more

Great beer, awesome pizza, fun environment, live music. A must visit if you're near Georgetown!

This place is so fun and has a great eccentric vibe. The pizzas are real good, I created my own and my husband got the Brooklyn. Both were very very tasty. The night we went they were slammed, service was slower than expected but we still had a great night. read more

Pizza was great. I'm only giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because the bleu cheese was pretty bad.

The white pizza here is the bomb. All the pizza is great- but that white pizza was so amazing. Great waitstaff and bartenders.

We went on a Sunday night and the place was empty. However the atmosphere and location 5 stars! Beers were good, not great. Would go back.

Stopped in with my wife to grab a drink and bite. Had a flight of brews as did my wife. Had a few more pints. Pizza was excellent and if you get the pretzel get the mustard and the beer cheese. What a treat read more

Wednesday and Thursday are the best days to go for trivia. They have Pizza, wings, pretzels, and Beer!

My wife and I were strolling around downtown Georgetown and happened upon a little secret that won't stay that way for long. The newly opened Chinkapin brewery is a cute little hang out that's a great addition to the city's nightlife. From the German beer stein collection to the fancy Olhausen pool table, the warm hard wood floors just welcome anyone lucky enough to stroll in. If you find yourself thirsty for a pour and hungry for a slice, take a risk you thrill seeker, stop in - I know you won't be disappointed. Upon arrival you'll be greeted by one of the many smiling faces that tend to what seems like a never ending bar. TV's front and center for those sports watching chaps and always great conversation for chatty types and of course some great music for those artistic minds. A great selection of ice cold brews from ipas to domestic and a healthy selection of whiskeys and bourbons that's sure to expand. This place can and I believe will become a true gem in the heart of downtown Georgetown. Great job Chinkapin! You've officially been added to our date night rotation5 read more

Hit or miss. I like the pizza sometimes, I like the craft beer, but the service is as inconsistent as the pizza. More than half of the bartenders, especially when the place is empty, completely abandon you. Today, for instance, I was one of two people at the bar, and I waited 17 minutes for the bartender to acknowledge that I had an empty glass. Bartender was absorbed in conversation with the only other patron. Never looked over at me until I got bored and tried to make eye contact. I'd planned on ordering food and sticking around for a bit, but I ended up cashing out prematurely. This is the norm there, and it doesn't matter the day or time, or who is waiting on you. As far as the food goes, it really depends on who is making it. I order the same thing most of the time, and the pizza is all over the place. Sometimes it's way too doughy, sometimes it's overly crispy. Sometimes is drenched in hot sauce and other times there's none. This is all for the same pizza order. I never know what I'm getting. Don't not go, but temper your expectations. read more
