I knew the drill after reading other reviews, order from the QR code! It was pretty easy and the order was pretty simple. I ordered food from Peacemaker and a drink from 4 Hands. Liam was working the dining area and he was so great! He came over to make sure we didn't need any assistance with the order process and brought water and smiles! Fried Green Tomatoes and Hushpuppies to start. Connecticut Style Lobster Roll with chips. The fried green tomatoes were good, and I love the texture of the hushpuppies was great would love to have more onion flavor. I love the warm Lobster Roll! The butter toasted roll is so good, and then lots of lobster, so good! The chips are crunchy and flavorful. Liam was the highlight here, he was great. He was friendly and helpful and would have eased anyone through the ordering process if they had issues. We didn't and he was great at everything and so so friendly!

If your ideal Friday night involves enjoying a beer while supervising someone else's children, this…read moremight be your spot. The vibe when we visited was less brewery and more unsupervised playground. Kids were running around barefoot, throwing mulch and rocks, while plenty of parents sat back with drinks in hand. My wife and I, along with several other guests, were repeatedly getting hit with rocks from children running around the property. Maybe this was an unusually busy night, but it was hard to relax or have a conversation between the constant chaos, the trains, and the swarm of kids treating the place like recess. I'd post photos, but every picture is mostly other people's children, and that doesn't seem fair. If you're looking for a quiet drink or an adult atmosphere, you may want to look elsewhere. If you're looking for a place where the kids can run wild while the adults have a drink, you'll probably fit right in.

You get your beer, wine, or cocktail right there, but a food runner brings your food to the table. She was hustling tonight as there were quite a few bigger groups as well as other full tables. Someone comes around frequently to clear glasses and plates. Our table got a sampling of all the Munchies, Nachos, chicken wings, brussels sprouts, chicken tenders, fries, pretzel bites, and fried cauliflower. My favorites are the French fries - they are crispy with just the right amount of seasoning. The pretzel bites are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, I like them plain but they come with mustard and cheese sauce. Great beers on draft and in cans to take home. Good food

Lively atmosphere, bartenders were welcoming and interactive. We ordered the Hot Cheese curds as an appetizer, and I got the Obscura as me beer of choice. Not going to lie, the cheese curds were as advertised! They were hot! Not so much that I couldn't handle but don't take them lightly, they are good. They came drizzled with a good ranch. The beer was great, especially with the hot cheese curds. Ordered the Friday Fish Sando with no cheese. Came out in a timely manner, large and crispy! It was messy in the best way. Crispy, beer battered cod, lettuce, and house made tarter. It was juicy on the inside with none of the batter mush you can sometimes get with fried fish, loved the house made tarter, all-around great sandwich. The fries were on point, too. Crispy but not greasy. Great space, friendly staff, good food!

There was a small wait for the food but it was worth it! We will be back soon

I ended up getting the LW burger with pub cheese and it came with shoe string fries, the burger was thick and juicy, while the shoe string fries with garlic aioli as my sauce was, perfect! This is a pretty good family atmosphere, they have high top tables but also had high top high chairs! A real positive in our book, haven't ran into many restaurants that have this option. I would suggest if you have little ones to order your food when they take your drinks because the service can be hit or miss depending on the time you go, and food can take a little longer than expected. So get the little ones ordered in first and then decide on the adults.

I only saw two high top tables for two people and they were in corners. So we sat in a corner on backless stools. Stools in restaurants should have backs!Pretty uncomfortable and we won't do that again. It also has really high ceilings so it got pretty loud in there. Our server was Erin and she was good! The place was packed inside and outside (in the rain - there were umbrellas over the tables) so the staff was super busy. She kept the drinks and food coming at a good pace. We started off with drinks and onion rings. We had been told how good the onion rings were so we had to order them - they lived up to the hype! I'm not a beer drinker, but my husband is. He had three different ones and didn't really enjoy any of them. He tried Tidewater Plains, Master of the Universe, and Batholith. I had a Jungleberg cocktail and liked it so much, I ordered another one. The server said they were out of them. There were five ingredients in the drink so I have no idea what they were out of. I ordered a Spicy Ancho Margarita and it was okay. It shouldn't be called spicy, because it is not. I ordered Chicken Wings and Onion Soup. Yes, it was summer. But it was cold and rainy and soup sounded good! The soup was very good - very cheesy and they didn't put a chunk of bread in there to get all soggy, which I appreciated. The wings were okay. They were way too saucy for me. My husband got the Philly and said it was okay, but nothing special. I would have probably given 3.5 stars, but that is not an option. I'd go back for the onion rings!

St. Louis is lousy with these microbreweries--this part of town in particular, to the point where,…read moreas I ran the streets of the surrounding area, I was violently assaulted with what must be the smell of beer as it's being brewed. It's not altogether different from the smell of beer as it's coming back up, and it called to mind my illustrious, mostly-forgotten-at-this-point college years. I was suddenly compelled to listen to Cannibal Ox and watch certain videos that I'd pilfered from Kazaa, and it's probably for the best that I didn't have access to a circa 1998 Compaq Presario in that moment. The vibe in Bluewood Brewing is a lot classier. There's no "Iron Galaxy" over the PA. The lights are dimmed, which I imagine would be convenient if there was someone there you owed money to. I was particularly impressed with a long table on the patio. I remarked to a member of my running group that it almost certainly didn't come from IKEA. The wood was of too high a quality. The food menu is limited to a small selection of standard sports-bar fare, but this is not anywhere you'd go to watch the game. They might not have any TVs. Did they spend too much on the table? Also, they don't sell any beer in cans, that I'm aware of, which I generally prefer as someone who, as the evening progresses, is prone to dropping things. I went with something called Crush, which is an orange-flavored high-gravity IPA. It was the highest ABV selection on their regular beer menu, but it also costs a little bit more, so you're not really getting over on them--unless you thought to "pregame." I found it to be both less "stiff" than I was expecting and less orange-tasting, in a good way but also in a bad way, in that anything that fails to conform to expectation is at least somewhat disappointing. I was expecting paint thinner and orange juice. I got something that was balanced and flavorful. From the food menu, I got the daily special, which was a sort of elevated patty melt called the Stable Melt. It came with two all-beef patties, Swiss, caramelized onions and "Frisco" sauce on Union Loafers marbled rye, with your choice of chips or fries. It was $18, and as I was standing there a guy came out and changed the price to $19, presumably due to developments in the war with Iran. I was assured that I'd be "grandfathered in" at $18, but I'm not sure if he told the guy at the register and I didn't bother to check. It wasn't necessarily my kind of thing, but it was a great burger. The name-brand bread alone nearly justified the price increase. The meat was generously proportioned (no Diddy), but it didn't quite extend to the edges of the bread. Perhaps if it were one larger patty? The onions gave it a sophisticated Salisbury steak vibe, wholly superior to Hungry Man. The fries called to mind the fries at Wendy's. If only they offered a Frosty to dip them in. It wouldn't necessarily go with their beer. I'd suggest they put bourbon or something in it, but I shudder to think what they might charge.

I finally had to go up to the bartender and ask about them which they were never ordered in the first place. So it took almost 50 minutes for me to have wings. The pretzel sticks were awesome, and the wings were good very very seasoned and didn't make a mess every time to take a bite. The beers were great. I had multiple different rounds. I really enjoyed having the love gun. It's just like a cream ale. They had a lot of merchandise which I ended up buying and taking home with me. I really enjoyed this place and this would be five stars all day if I didn't have to wait close to an hour for wings because they forgot to be put in. In the place, wasn't that busy? I could totally understand a mistake like that if they're really busy, but not when they're not that full. I would definitely try again.

We layout of the place is simple, with a self server area for water, plastic wear and napkins, you also clean up your own table when you are done. I did feel a bit misled when we were ordering beer, as my wife wanted a dark beer and they didn't have anything on draft. After talking with the people working there for a bit, they remembered that they had some Hazel Ave, which is a dark beer. They asked if she liked coconut, as it has that flavor in it. She does and was happy to hear they had something that would work for her. They rang us up and then asked if we wanted 2 glasses, which I thought was odd, since I had ordered a different beer. Then I saw the other person opening a 750 mo bottle and realized that the Hazel Ave is the size of a full bottle of wine. It's also $40 which was an unpleasant surprise, and I only learned after it had been rung up and opened. About that time, they realized that my beer hadn't been rung in and asked if I wanted it still. Having just spent more on the beer than our food, I declined. It's a very dark been that also has a strong hazel it flavor, which we didn't know (and she doesn't like). Live and learn I guess, but not a great first visit. Food was good enough that we might try it again, but will be very careful/skip ordering drinks if we come back!
