We came here for some food and to try some new beers, and it turned out to be trivia night as well. We were late for the trivia so didn't formally play, but we did have fun answering questions anyway. We got the big flight of beers to share, which has all of their beers and seltzers - like 19 different kinds. Yeah, that was a lot, but we didn't finish them all. But we did enjoy them! The place is beautiful with a very industrial brewery look to it. The staff could not have been nicer. Seriously, awesome folks. We did get one of their pizzas, which was very good. Even the leftovers the next day were great. I'm glad I don't live here as I would likely be at this brewery a lot! read more

This review is for beer only. We stopped in after having lunch elsewhere and the weather was nice enough that they had the overhead doors open. There was no servers during our visit so all drinks had to be ordered from the bar. The beers were good and they had a nice variety of styles. I would recommend a stop if you enjoy craft beer. read more

Super cute brewery in Dubuque. The space is massive an has garage style windows that were open during the cool fall day. I got their kanga wu hazy ipa which was delicious and super smooth. The space is very clean and tidy and the service was excellent. Would definitely come back to try their food sometime as well! read more

Probably some of the best beers in the state. I've been a Dimensional fan for a long time. Thevtap room is nice and rymmthe staff is very helpful. Downside....parking can be an issue. Its on a dead end street with limit parking. However, if you in the area it's a great stop over read more

Great beer, great pizza, great service, great people, great vibe. Easily the best brewery in Dubuque. read more

I chose this brewery because they provided free parking to the Brewers game. I was pretty packed when I got there and sat at the bar. I had a sampler of beers that mostly scored in the high 80s in my book but try their sour...those were really good. They have a large back patio and a band was setting up but I left to catch the game. Bad thing is they were closed when I rode the shuttle back to get my car. read more

Dimensional Brewing - Great lineup - Brewpubs Near Me - Dubuque, Iowa

You order drinks at the bar and then go find a place to sit. It took a while for someone to help us but once someone did she apologized for the other bartenders. They don't have food unless they have a food truck/tent there that day. We did order food from that which was great. It's a very low key place with a young vibe. We enjoyed our beer. read more

once again great use of bringing old buildings back to life in the old downtown area... exposed wood beam ceiling gives it a post industrial feel with close to 20 beers on tap great selection. The outer walls lift to bring the outdoor inside with location being right near the Mississippi gives a great view read more

The BBQ joint they have inside is awesome - blackened chicken sandwich was on point, spicy with the Cajun aioli. Brisket sandwich was great too - juicy meat and this kind of smoky, slightly peppery but subtly sweet BBQ sauce that was perfect for the smoky brisket. Beers were awesome and a nice selection of sours, IPAs, a great flavorful Mexican lager. read more

Dimensional Brewing - Droppin' the Pasta double dry-hopped hazy IPA - nice n full n juicy. - Brewpubs Near Me - Dubuque, Iowa

The people are nice and the beer is pretty good but overall Dimensional has this "manufactured" feel to it. Rather than trying to be something new and different, they developed the space with faux materials that try to give it an old building feel. I guess it is okay, especially if you've never had that experience, but for most people it probably resembles many other micro breweries they have been to. Again, it's a good time just nothing special. read more

Dimensional Brewing - Builder the Bob. Like the brewery it is good but not exactly great - Brewpubs Near Me - Dubuque, Iowa

In town visiting and came upon this place while walking around town. My boyfriend loves a beer flight and this place offered a flight of 18! Which was every beer they offered on tap. He couldn't have been more excited. Being from Wisconsin we had to represent. So we took on the challenge. I do enjoy trying different types of beer as well so flights are always a great way to do so. The brewery is really nice the inside offers lots of seating with big doors that can be open to the outside. They also have a wonderful outdoor area with picnic tables to enjoy your beer and food. We decided to get lunch as well while we were trying all of the beers. They have a great menu and the food was phenomenal! We got the pulled pork quesadilla and the smoked chicken nachos. Really impressed with the quality of the food. We will definitely be back the next time we are in town. Highly recommend checking this place out. read more

Great brewery tucked away in downtown Dubuque. Had the Dubuque Pilsner and very good. Plenty of seating inside and out. Great service. Loved the fries and pretzel bites good. Windows were open and all-in-all a great experience. Also liked the beer selection...quite extensive. Only negative and not a big deal but parking is somewhat limited. There is plenty of metered street parking. Highly recommend if you are looking for a local brewery! read more

This is probably one of my favorite breweries to go to. Dimensional Brewing has excellent craft beer and their variety in beer is so great that they really do have something for everyone. We visited Dimensional Brewing on a release day and it was busy with families of all kinds visiting. I liked their outside patio and overall venue. Their beer schwag was awesome as well. Overall a must stop! I can't wait to go back! read more

Dank-A-Roni. Easily the worst IPA I've ever had. Aftertaste was like drinking bug repellent.

Dimensional is our go-to! We love their sours, great atmosphere, and a fun place to stop when in DBQ. You can't go wrong stopping here read more

Dimensional Brewing - Outside Beer Garden. - Brewpubs Near Me - Dubuque, Iowa

We had a decent couple of their 5 beer flights. I love the idea of the flights with every beer, just not enough time while traveling through. Hop a veli was my favorite IPA and I did end up with a crowler but it didn't do the frothy tap version justice. The fruit beers were a good touch but I think they may have had too much coriander? in some cases. Not sure about the after taste on some. Their best quality might be their style and design of their tap room. The location could use some more parking. It was tough to find a spot. Check it out, the space is mostly open air and well distanced. read more

Dimensional Brewing - IPA Flight - Brewpubs Near Me - Dubuque, Iowa

Had a great time here! Walked in and not sure what we wanted to try, they said for $30 you can try "The Big D"! What?! What's that?! You sample 14 beers (or however many they currently have on tap, which was 18 when we went) for $30. That made each 5oz glass $1.67. We went for it! They gave us a menu to sample them in order 1-18 so we knew what we were having. Some were great and some just weren't our thing (coffee stouts in particular). We did however find that we LOVED the Cherry Fluff! We were sad they didn't have any for us to take home though. Food here was okay. Expensive for what you get. Try eating elsewhere if you can. read more

Fantastic beer, staff, and atmosphere. I think that over time these guys will become known as being one of the best in the state.

Was looking forward to lunch with customer but it was a bust! Nice interior and design but terrible food and service. Menu is limited, no one brought drinks, no one checked on us and we had to tip before the service; but what a regret! I gave a generous +20% and received NO service so person could stay on their phone!!! My sandwich was burned (see picture) and his pulled pork was 'mediocre' and 'uninspired'. Will go elsewhere next time. Employees were in their own worlds, discussions and phones, May as well have brought a sac lunch because I left hungry... read more

Dimensional Brewing - Burned and dry philly cheese steak sandwich. - Brewpubs Near Me - Dubuque, Iowa

Spent the weekend in Galena, Illinois and Hubby and I wanted to try something different so we drove to Dubuque, Iowa. We stopped in based on recommendations from a few waiters in Galena so you would think that your experience is as good as they say. Quite disappointed in what I thought was going to be excellent service and excellent food. When we walked in, you sat wherever you want, and then we had to go to the bar and order our drinks. This place lacked attention when it came to the customers. We proceeded to order the Cuban sandwich and the brisket sandwich. Both are not worth the $15 price tag. They were cheap on portions, and we just had a handful of french fries. read more

This is a really hard one to review. I'm always down for trying new breweries and know it's difficult to become a great business doing the brew thing. First off- the beer! Amazing! That would get 5 stars had that been the only experience to rate.... The service...well. I've had better. Seat yourself. Ok we can do that. We sat at the bar, right up front. No hiding. Boom! Customers! 3 people behind the bar. Not pouring. Not making any drinks. On opposite end of the bar. 1 or 2 on their phones. After about 5 min or so a very sweet young man acknowledged us. He was not originally behind the bar when we sat down. (Might have been out on the patio with customers). I'll give him 5 stars! Boyfriend asked how much the Big D was(18 beer flight) and ended up ordering that! Because of lack of staff the business had, you had to go to the counter, in front of the kitchen window to place your food order. No biggie we can do that! Ordered 2 simple appetizers(at least we thought so). Told it would be 45min to an hour. Ehhh. For appi's? We were going to a concert and would be late but didn't mind being a little late... Another side note- we had a view of the kitchen window and noticed only one guy in the back cooking. Place was busy but it seemed he literally cooked 1 ticket at a time. *gotta muti task dude!* Glad we had the long flight of booze! 1-1/2 later we received our pretzel bites and blackened chicken nachos. Side note- out of blackened chicken so we were able to get pulled pork. Pretzel bites were just that- pretzel bites. Mediocre. Sauce served was a spicy mustard and cheese. More than likely heated up in microwave. Nachos- unimpressed. Salsa on the side tasted like Pace Picante. Pile of tortilla chips with all things piled on top. No layering. Minimal cheese. Jalapeño tasted store bought, from a jar. We should have ordered the delicious beer and left. The flight! My favs were Froot Cup, Jorts Weather & Jacked Up: Sangria. Boyfriend favoured: Atlast Hefe, Mellow Astronaut & Froot Cup. read more

The beer is very very good. The service is great, friendly, funny staff. The location is also pretty awesome, right in downtown Dubuque. During the summer when they get the front garage doors open, it's just about the best spot to have a beer in Dubuque. Love Dimensional. read more

Dimensional Brewing is a great gathering place to grab a drink before dinner. I do enjoy their Beer and Cider menu, as they are always introducing new options to sample. Dimensional also brings in live music, which is good but sometimes is a little too loud. read more

Awesome place to start your night off. While they have far too many IPAs for me, I like their other beers very much. They also have an awesome 14 beer flight. Usually they have live local music as well. Great place to support locals and have quality beer. Atmosphere: 5 Service: 4 Cleanliness: 3 Quality: 4 Value: 3 read more

Good place to stop by for a drink. Comfortable atmosphere. Pleasant workers. Will stop by again.

Service is awful, you order at bar, which is fine, but the male bartender was rude, curt and inattentive. Half the menu was unavailable as well which cut into the already incredibly small menu. Food we did order that was available was really good (brisket and pulled pork) read more

Phenomenal! Located down the street from our hotel we decided to walk over and give this brewery a try. We sat down, ordered our beers and enjoyed conversing with the bartenders. We also found out we were sitting next to the owners and ended up having a great conversation with the wife! She gave her suggestions as to what was good and even explained how some of the brews were made. I had a sour that was "peach cobbler" and was amazing! We were told to make the beer the brewmasters actually put graham crackers, cinnamon, peaches, etc in to make the flavors. If you go you can actually order a "Big D" which is a flight of all the beers on tap! They were trying to set a record the day we were there so it was fun to see the progress. We will definitely stop here again and will try to get their beers in our area. read more

Dimensional Brewing - On tap - Brewpubs Near Me - Dubuque, Iowa

We went to three breweries on a day trip today and this was the best hands down. They have some very strong sweet stouts available right now (my fave) alone with excellent IPAd and fruity concoctions. No they're not cheap but really good beer rarely is. I also had a pulled pork quesadilla for lunch and others in my group had the burnt ends appetizer and the brisket sandwich. Worth the drive from Madison. read more

Dimensional Brewing - Brewpubs Near Me - Dubuque, Iowa

Plenty of great beers to choose from no matter what style you are into. You also have to try the BBQ!

The beer was pretty good had a flight and then a couple of pints. Atmosphere was bland and missing something, but the building was pretty sweet. Sat down and no one really addressed us for at least 5 minutes before I got up to ask someone who was texting away on phone oblivious to everything behind the food checkout (didn't know what it was at first). We were traveling through and not regulars so had no idea. Put down your phones. The split ordering between food and beer was annoying and awkward. Two menus, two stations, multiple swipes, no service. Burnt ends were AMAZING, though...flavor of sauce was excellent. Highly recommend. read more

Best BBQ in the area BY FAR! Rolling through Dbq from Denver I had the delight of trying the burnt ends at the Demensional brewing co/Flatted fifth. The tips were cooked perfectly, the bbq sauce was an excellent compliment to perfectly prepared brisket tips. Paired with the corn bread & honey left me wanting more ..... I will be back again for more. Dinner paired with a Sour cherry fluff beer from Dimensional brewing hit the spot. Check it out!!!! read more

The best quesadilla I've ever had! The blackened chicken nachos are really good, too! And I've never had a flight of 18 beers. Before today.

On point with the flights of beers today. Nice variety and lots of amazing flavors. Definitely want to come visit again.

We were stuck in Dubuque during the polar vortex just before Christmas and Dimensional Brewing was a great discovery. Excellent service, good food, and really good beers. Also, a cool spot to listen to music. read more

Love the beers here...only wish they would do online orders for 4 packs of their beers. I no longer live in the area and am unable to enjoy some of my favorite beers. Sincerely, someone who would love some beers sent to Minnesota. read more

I'm not hanging out in Dubuque, IA very frequently, I've been here a grand total of one time even, but trust me go to Dimensional. Their sour beers are fantastic! So are their IPAs! My friend had a porter they made too and it was delicious (and I hate porters because they make me want to go to sleep). Even bought a can to take back to Chicago because dayuumm. And this is all coming from someone who grew up in a microbrewery community. Only downside is no kitchen. They have snacks though (as do all microbreweries in Dubuque?). read more

They have a great selection of beers here and a great staff. They did a great job rehabbing the building. I'll be working it into my regular rotation. read more

My girlfriend and I stopped here on a very hot Saturday, we walked here after visiting the nearby farmers market. We had two flights and although most of the beers were good, there was a coffee stout that was spectacular. We had the burnt ends nad pulled pork and both dishes were solid, though was hoping the ends would be a bit more flavorful. The restaurant was designed well and would be a great place for small or large groups to grab drinks (post-COVID of course). read more

Had a 4 beer taster and they were good quality. Marzen Oktoberfest was quite good, so was the brown ale. Stout on nitro was a bit flat but flavorful. Wife had the sweet cider "sangria" (not a beer drinker) which was ok. We weren't eating there, went up the street for a full meal. Friendly bar service guy. read more
