We got two pizzas. A barbecue chicken pizzas and the vampire death wish pizza. They were both really good and we loved the crust. Personally preferred the vampire death wish pizza which had a great cheesy garlic taste. We also got four different beers to try. they were all super unique. Our waitress was super attentive and sweet. She helped answer a lot of our questions and knew a lot about the beers. We definitely come back again for pizzas if we had the Groupon the pizzas are a little bit smaller, but it was perfect for us to share the two pizzas, we even had some leftovers.

We loved the chill atmosphere and how laid back they were. We tried 4 different beers and 2 pizzas. I'm not sure you could go wrong here, but the Vampire Deathwish was our favorite! Loved our visit and will keep an eye out to visit other locations if we get the chance! Good news indeed!

The selection of beer was pretty big and covered a large variety of beer. They even have distill spirits as well. So no matter what you're in the mood for, they will have it covered.

It genuinely saddens me to write this review because Friendship Brewery has been a place our family…read morehas loved for years. We've visited both this location and the former downtown location countless times, enjoying not just the beer and food, but the wonderful, relaxed, family friendly atmosphere. Some of our favorite memories here involve a lively outdoor space filled with families, children playing, dogs, great beer, good food, and people simply enjoying themselves. It always reminded me of the joyful, welcoming atmosphere of a European beer garden. One of the things we've always loved is recommending Friendship Brewery to friends and family. It's been one of those special places we genuinely enjoyed sharing with others. We've even celebrated multiple holidays here, including Mother's Day, because it always felt like the perfect place to bring everyone together and enjoy a wonderful afternoon. Unfortunately, our most recent visit left us feeling very differently. As we were heading outside, the manager approached us to explain the new rules. We were told our children must remain at our table. When we planned to sit under the tent, she recommended that we sit farther away. She also asked whether we'd heard that other breweries in Missouri were beginning to impose curfews on children. There weren't even any other families outside at the time. There were also two large signs reminding parents to supervise their children and keep them out of the parking lot. Those expectations are completely reasonable. What felt surprisingly unwelcoming was being personally stopped and told that our children needed to remain at our table. The manager explained that there had apparently been incidents involving children in the parking lot and even climbing on top of shipping containers. Those are legitimate safety concerns, and I fully support addressing them. Children should absolutely be supervised and kept away from dangerous areas. But requiring children to remain at their tables instead of enjoying the spacious outdoor beer garden feels like an unfortunate overcorrection. One of the things that made Friendship Brewery so special was watching families enjoy that large outdoor space together, with children playing soccer, making friends, running around, and simply being kids. Parents could relax, enjoy a beer and some food, and watch their children have fun. It's a brewery beer garden, not a traditional sit-down restaurant where everyone is expected to remain at their table. That distinction is a big part of what made this place such a wonderful experience for families. I've been fortunate to visit breweries all over the world, and one of the things I love most about brewery culture is how welcoming it can be to families and dogs alike. That relaxed, communal atmosphere is what makes a brewery special. When the experience becomes dominated by restrictions and reminders of rules, so much of that magic disappears. I completely understand the need for reasonable expectations and respectful behavior. But there's a difference between maintaining a welcoming environment and making longtime customers feel like their families are an inconvenience. What makes this especially disappointing is remembering how many times we've been here when the place was full of families, kids, and dogs, with everyone having a wonderful time. That was the Friendship Brewery we loved and kept coming back to. Sadly, after today's interaction, that sense of friendship and belonging feels lost. We still appreciate the beer and food, but the atmosphere that made this place so special to us feels like it has changed. I truly hope Friendship Brewery reconsiders how these policies are communicated and remembers the warm, welcoming beer garden atmosphere that made so many of us fall in love with it in the first place.

It was our first time in - we bellied up to the bar, where there were drink menus and a food menus for the browsing. We were advised to order at "the window" for food (clever) & did so. (Reviewed separately) The barkeep walked us through some of his favorites. I opted for the orange cream (sour spin) & found it to be absolutely delicious. The beer was nicely balanced, not too sweet or sour & no strange tastes. The hubby was very happy with his as well. We'll certainly stop in next time we're in town to try a few more & maybe grab some cooler beer!

While I knew it was an arcade I was unprepared for how loud it was. The main area isn't huge and they had a lot of games going to it was incredibly loud. The bar staff were busy but polite. We tried 4 different beers and none of them were excellent. One was terrible, no line is bad but just not a good beer (I think it was their Amber Ale). Not my cup of tea but if you want to play in the arcade, eat pizza and have beers it might be yours!

Caveat: reviewed based on multiple experiences during COVID from October 2020-March 2021…read more Beer list: extensive draft selection and variety. Lines are clean and cared for, and beer selection is clearly curated by someone who is passionate and knowledgeable about craft beer. They are also a brewery and generally have several of their own beers on tap. They do multiple size options at good prices, so you can really take advantage of a nice day out doing some tastings. They also have some canned / bottled beer and do crowler fills. Bar: it's a brewery. Bar is limited. There are a few good liquors available, mostly whiskey and bourbon, with some ciders, seltzers, and possibly a wine or two available. This isn't the place to get a mimosa or a Bloody Mary. It's a brewery. Food: again, they're a brewery, not a gastropub, and do not have a full kitchen. Food is limited to Friday and Saturday (I believe), but is surprisingly good and reasonably priced. Owner seems to continually try to improve selections, and on Fridays during lent has started doing Fish Frys (which were exceptionally good!). If you go in expecting bar-snack type food, you won't be disappointed. There are full restaurants within walking distance. Atmosphere: there are TVs and games, but none of them are loud and in your face. Tables are plenty and well-spaced / distanced, with comfortable seating available. Patio seating is also available. Noise level is generally low enough that you can easily have a conversation. Tables, bar, and bathrooms are clean. Comfortable and welcoming feel. Parking is generally available with a large lot shared with other businesses. Staff: you will generally see the same staff, limited to the owner, bartender, and cook. Which is great, because they are all fantastic. Here's the thing...staff is absolutely genuine. My experiences with the staff have been overwhelmingly positive, but my impression is also that they wouldn't hesitate to put an end to poor behavior. Be nice, be civil, and behave...or be elsewhere. If that appeals to you, then you'll have a great time at Exit 6...which I really appreciate as a patron. Overall: I've formed my above opinions over a few months since moving to the area. After our second visit, they recognized us. After our third, they greeted us by name. After that, I noticed many of the same faces at the tables and bar...and there is a reason for that: the staff creates a comfortable space, with high quality beer and service, at good prices. Think epitome of the classic friendly neighborhood bar. Honest, genuine, and not pretentious.
