We were looking for somewhere with covered outdoor seating because our friends had their dog and it was starting to rain. We found the perfect place. They have a bar area, inside seating and a beer garden. Part of the beer garden is under cover so it worked for us. There were Thursday specials and the beer menu could be viewed through a code on your phone. Our server quickly took our drink order, which for me was the $5 margarita special. The menu has interesting choices of a variety of empanadas, salads, burgers, bowls, entrees and sandwiches. I opted for a bowl with Mac and cheese and beef. Food arrived quickly and for me it was the perfect portion. For my husband, it wouldn't have been. The Mac and cheese was good, and the meats which were ground beef, brisket and short ribs cooked in a sauce were excellent. Our server was efficient and helpful. We were too full for dessert, but they looked interesting. read more

This is a fantastic brewery! We stayed at the Airbnb attached to it, so naturally strolled over. YES..check that out on Airbnb if you need a place to stay too! Large indoor/outdoor place. Dog friendly on the patio. The staff was so personable and fun to chat with. ALL the food was good, my favorites were the Fried Green 'Maters which are topped with Chimento-cheese, also the pretzel bites because that house made beer cheese dip is incredible! My boyfriend loved the empanadas. Beers!!! 4 Nun Blonde or the Golden Age ... which for a Belgian pleasantly surprised me! It reminded me of a cream ale. Wish it was closer to South Florida! We would definitely become members read more

Even though I am not in the Mount Dora area often, I feel like Eden Abbey is a hidden gem! It is basically a brewery / restaurant / beer garden that is located a few blocks away from downtown Mount Dora. This is an excellent location as it means that there is actually dedicated parking as opposed to street parking. As far as beer goes, I loved the four non blondes as I enjoy a light refreshing ale. I was also quite surprised by the high quality of the food as the Fuego burger topped with jalapeño poppers was delicious. There was also a relaxed atmosphere with great quality service. Certainly worth a try if you're in the area! read more

5 Stars, in short: Great burgers, great service, fun atmosphere My wife suggested Eden Abbey BC because she had popped in after a business visit to Mt Dora, and specifically mentioned the burgers to me afterwards. On my first visit, we stopped in on a busy Friday night. Seating at the high top community tables, in the less formal pub area where the in-house brew taps reside, was easy to find. And the patrons are friendly, as we found out in conversations about family and the band. Pretzel Bites with housemade beer cheese started off my night with an enjoyable warm spicy kick. My wife ordered the Abbey Burger and I chose the Funguy Burger. The three beef blend (cooked "pink") combined with the grilled mushrooms, peppers, and onions and topped with the Bellringer Aioli made for a mouthwatering burger, that I finished all too soon. Our sides of Caesar salads were a nice complement to the meal. The beer: I looked over the 12 in-house brews and decided on a 4 oz pour of the Abbey Peppermint Mocha Sour. The flavors worked together, but for me, the 4 oz was more than enough. Service was quick, friendly and helpful. The live music featured classics from the 70's. A more traditional dining area and beer garden are also available for dining, away from the beer taps and the music. Lastly, the owners's vision of a place to gather and enjoy beer, coffee, food and music appears to be very successful. read more

This little spot is in Mt. Dora which is a find in itself. We went on a Thursday and enjoyed the special fish & chips. Brews were good, plenty of folks enjoying the afternoon. My only issue was very slow service on the food. I recognize they are primarily a brewery but we were ordering the "special" so I was surprised by the lengthy wait. Fun place, I would give it another shot if in the area. read more

We stopped in for a few beers and dinner before a show at the Mt. Dora Music Hall. It was a Saturday afternoon and I assumed this place would be slammed, which it was not. We were able to grab a table for 5 and start ordering beers right away, awesome! Staff were super friendly and let us sample some of the drafts before making a decision. I went with the 10oz Bellringer ($8) to start then selected the 16oz Abbott ESB ($7) for my second beer. Both beers were delicious. We ordered a round of appetizers for the table - Jalapeno Poppers, Pretzel Bites, And tater tots all cost about $8 each. We weren't too impressed with the pretzel bites but the jalapeno poppers and tots were really good. For my main course I went with the Abby cheesy Mac ($8) with the what's your beef topping ($7) and Nancy chose the Side salad ($8). Our food arrived in about 20 minutes. My meal was good but the portion size was small. The salad was also small and there was literally only one raspberry in the bowl. My buddy ordered a bowl as well but his was stacked full, probably because he ordered rice and topped it with chicken al pastor versus the brisket and beef mix. Our other friend ordered a wrap which looked good and more filling. If I were to eat here again I would probably go for the burger, sandwich, or wrap because they looked great and would be more filling. No offense but I don't go out to eat to leave hungry, just saying. The brewery is beautifully decorated and kept clean. The staff were great all around and took wonderful care of our group. Food prices are on average with any other restaurants or pubs offering like items. The big win for me is they offer smaller 4oz beers for about $3. I like that they provide this option because my wife wont drink a whole 16oz beer, the smaller size option opens the door to people who like craft beer but don't drink a lot and still want to partake in the fun. read more

We went here on a Saturday around 3:45 - we sat in the tap room section. It is a pretty large spot with multiple areas to sit and enjoy the surroundings. The place was not busy at all when we arrived but by the time we left at 5:30 it was filling up quickly. We had the hazy beer and peppermint mocha sour. Beer was great. We also had the jalapeño poppers and a beef & chicken empanada. All the food was hot, fresh & tasty. Would love to try more of their food. Great prices and friendly service. read more

If you love craft beer, this is a must go! I had the most incredible chocolate dunkle and hazy IPA! The atmosphere is really cute. There is an adorable beer garden in the back. They have a club where you can paint your own mug and be part of their mug club. This place is my new favorite brewery. Also, there's an attached restaurant. I didn't have the food, but it looks amazing. read more

This place blew my socks off with how incredible all the food was! Not one dish lacked anything! I really enjoyed the chicken satay and peanut Thai sauce. Chicken satay is one of my favorite Thai dishes and so I'm a little bit of a snob when it comes to good satay and peanut sauce. I also loved the blueberry empanada in the dessert!! The servers were great and helpful, and I just love the whole design of the place. You can be formal or informal and not feel out of place! read more

We walked in mid afternoon for lunch. We decided to share our lunch and try some beers. Very nice and cozy atmosphere . We sat at the bar and I was thrilled they had swivel wooden bar stools! Easier to maneuver. I tried the original sin blackberry cider and then the incarnation Christmas ale. Both terrific. We shared a 1/2 tray of nachos and jalapeños. Really delicious. Really enjoy our experience there. The bartender was attentive and friendly. Made us feel welcome. It took awhile to get served but he was alone taking care of everyone in the bar. We told him that we were supposed to camp there thru harvest host but the city had changed its ordnances so we had to make other accommodations. He was surprised that that tradition was no longer in effect. It's all good... read more

The food was delicious we ordered Abby nachos with strips of beef. We also ordered jalapeño poppers. I had an IPA and my wife ordered a raspberry cider. Both were very good. The service was slow due to a shortage of staff. The place was very well decorated. They had everything from mugs, glasses to clothing. We really enjoyed this place looking forward to drying other drinks and menu items. read more

Eden Abbey Brewing Community - Entrance to the right is the bar left is the dining area - Brewpubs Near Me - Mount Dora, Florida

This is an interesting bar/restaurant/brewery on the edge of Mount Dora. Interesting as it has multiple areas to enjoy your beverage and food. Choose from chill comfortable lounge room, bar live-entertainment room, or casual outdoor patio/fun area. They have several beers on tap, cocktails, and food menu. I had the Bellringer which I thought very tasty, bold and smooth. I accompanied that with an order of garlic honey wings. The wings were a little unexpected, but very tasty. The sweetness of the honey blended well with the mild diced garlic. Served with dressing and celery. I sat at the bar, so the service was fast and friendly. I recommend and would definitely stop back again (if there weren't so many other places to try in Mount Dora first). read more

Highly recommended. The empandas I tried had great flavors. The salad was fleshing and delicious. The drinks I sampled were interesting different. Ultimately I had one that reminded me of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It was good. My absolute favorite part of the night was the Blueberry empanda was Devine. I'm not a big sweets person, but, I still think about this dessert OFTEN. Looking forward to returning and trying more menu items read more

The food was delicious and the beer is awesome. We had the Kahlúa empanada, rice bowl, and a burger. What was lacking is the service, we had two different servers and one did not check to see if our food was being prepared and they said they had put the ticket in, but the kitchen missed it. We ended up waiting 40 minutes for our food, which was disappointing because we were on a time crunch because a guest in our party had to go to work that late afternoon. It was our first visit here. I'm hoping that that is not a regular occurrence- waiting 40 minutes for food. They did take the beers and empanada off the bill for this inconvenience. Which is appreciated. I would try to visit again, hopeful food service is better read more

If you are circling around Mount Dora doing some antique shopping I highly recommend stopping here. Normally I'm not into brew hubs however, this one has a decent selection of beer on tap and food to choose from that wasn't your standard bar fair. If you scan the barcode, you can see all of the beer on top however, there is a bar menu that also has a detailed list of the beers that they serve. I chose the two chocolate beers because those are always the ones that intrigue me the most the chocolate coffee was the best one out of the two I had a buffalo chicken wrap with a kettle chips. The kettle chips warehouse made with a interesting seasoning on them almost like a ranch type flavor. There's two rooms to choose from when you're sitting you can sit by the bar area or you can sit in the main dining room. We chose the bar area because we like the idea of a high top table. Our server was extremely helpful and she gave all her favorite choices on the menu to order if I'm in the area again I would definitely stop back. 4.6 out of 5 read more

Parking in front and on the side. In front suggest you back in. Traffic can be heavy and fast coming in both directions. Service was very good but we were when it wasn't busy. The place two parts. The brew room and bar area and the other side is more tables and booths. Wife got chicken and rice meal which was good. I got Wagu beef hamburger with fries. The seasoned fries were very good. I thought burger lacked something. I expected a better taste wasn't bad just tasted more like a regular burger for $20. I would go back and try something else. If you are beer drinker then I think you would like the place. read more

Stopped in for a quick drink while exploring down town to get out of the heat. Our server was amazing, he gave us a ton of suggestions as we were visiting from out of town. He made a custom mock tail which was delicious and refreshing as it was extremely hot and sunny out. My boyfriend ordered a beer flight and enjoyed that our server gave a little background on each option he selected. There is a private lot on across the street within walking distance and there is also a few spots directly in front of their main entrance. Inside is dark with alot of natural light. read more

I'm never disappointed visiting Eden. The food and drinks are so worth my 30 minute drive. We don't have a "usual" order because everything is so good we want to try it all. If only I lived closer! Their T-shirts and sweatshirts are the softest! I claim the yellow couches as mine forever! read more

I placed an order to go after a short meeting with the owner, so my first impression was actually the heart of the restaurant. I started to wonder if the wings were amazing because the establishment is amazing? Am I biased? Turns out my husband loved the wings (and he has never been to Eden Abby). The food is great. The vibe and the mission are beyond that! Eden Abby brings people and good food together. Did I mention beer cheese? Omg! read more

Set a bit away from the old downtown, Eden Abbey is a great side jaunt. Their specialty is more in Abbey style beer (Trappist ales without the need ot be a Trappist), although I enjoyed other styles. Service was excellent and the bartender was great in his knowledge of their beers and beer styles. It was a great conversation to have. The atmosphere feels a lot like an Abbey (see also "Black Abbey Brewery" in Nashville?) inside with a nice porch area and some other eating areas in the restaurant side of the building. I did not have a smash burger, so I can dispute another reviewer, but I did have one of their salads, which was nicely done. I would not call the food upscale necessarily, but they do have a bit of a chef's feel to them. Beer was the shining moment. A band came in as I was about to leave, so they do have music on some nights (assume weekend only). I will return at some point, as I have friends near this area. read more

Decided to stop by Eden Abbey while visiting the Mt Dora Arts Festival. When we walked in we were greeted by the owner and other staff members that walked us through the layout and how things worked. The place is very nice offering indoor seating near the bar or outside in the Beer Garden. There were good beer options. We had the Blonde Ales which were pretty good. The food was excellent. There were some good options. We had the buttermilk chicken bite for appetizers which I definitely recommend. The Snapback fish sandwich and Mo Clucka chicken sandwich were great! read more

The wraps are loose and soggy here.

Found this awesome brew pub in Mount Dora. It's a few blocks from the downtown area. They have beers they brewed, some yummy sounding seasonal cocktails and food. We had 2 flights and empanadas and a build your bowl. We chose tots with pork. Very interesting set up. They have a taproom with communal tables and they have live music on weekends. They also have an outdoor beer garden and a dining area that has a coffee house vibe-quieter with tabies, couches for conversation. Definite return trip with friends is in our future. read more

I forgot to take any photos. I was quite excited to try your food this evening. Especially because I choose my restaurants wisely, as I prefer to cook healthier meals at home. So, for my cheat night, I choose here. It was a fail for more reason than just the food. However, my main disappointment was the "Smash Burger".... Please learn what a smash burger is if you are going to label or name your burger to be a Smash Burger. I will say It was juicy, I'll give it that. But the cheese wasn't even melted! There is no need to even mention the service at this point. It's not a place I would recommend for actual good food. Friendly staff and very clean! Seems to be a fun place to hang out with friends on a night out if you like to just eat and drink just whatever. read more

Love small businesses, and especially local breweries! Came here for some drinks with my s/o and his dad when we did a little day trip to Mount Dora, and had a wonderful time. The staff was friendly and the tap room itself welcoming and warm (in the metaphorical sense). The beers were a little bit on the watery side, but the flavors and mouthfeel were lovely. Though the sky was a little ominous when I was there, I saw a beautiful patio when I went to the bathroom. Next time we are back, I definitely want to sit outside. What a gem!
