Does not look like a restaurant/brewpub from the outside. You will not stumble upon Heavy Brewing, but need to seek it out with intent among the other industrial buildings. Friday evening and the place was packed. Not really an appealing setup indoors, loud and rows of bare bones tables and chairs. The patio was very nice, if you are there on an evening the Nebraska weather allows the patio. We were, and enjoyed it. Beer was good. I had Red Ale and my companions sought "something like Blue Moon," which the bartender was able to recommend. Hot honey pepperoni pizza was very greasy but tasty. We saw a neighboring table use a napkin on top of the pizza before they ate, and we did that too. Service was friendly and fine, although the setup is a bit quirky. Food is separate from beer and ordering is done via a QR code, but you can order at the counter if you prefer. Would visit again, but not for a My Dinner With Andre conversation. read more

This place is always a hit with us. I only wish we lived closer. You order drinks at the bar and order food separately at the table via a QR code. The food will be delivered to your table. The beer! It's all about the beer! Heavy Brewing provides a great selection of beer. You are sure to find a style that you prefer. We have always found the beer to be perfectly cold and fresh. We prefer pale ales and (especially) Hazy IPAs. We love the pizza too. They have a fun selection. On this trip, we ordered The BDub which has hamburger, sausage, green peppers, and black olives. It was easy to drop the green peppers and add jalapeño on the ordering form. The pizza did not take long to prepare. It was hot, thin, crispy and delish! As for the setting, Heavy Brewing is very welcoming with plenty of seating. It's informal and set in an industrial building. It is kid friendly for sure, though there have been complaints in the past about kids running amok. The owners have addressed this and we appreciate it. Parents need to parent again. read more

The location is an industrial area, parking could be limited. Service was ok. You need to order your food via the QR code. Sat at the bar. The bar height is high compared to bar stools. Good selection of uniquely named beer. Nothing too fancy or that stands out from other breweries. Wide open sitting. Seems like a nice place but hesitant to go again. read more

This place holds such a special spot in my heart because it's a tradition for my mom and me to get pizza and beer before I fly home. We always come here to say goodbye and do one last thing together before I leave. One time, we had a little too much fun here and I missed my flight, but that's a story for another day! The pizza is always great, and we love sitting up at the bar. One of the bartenders even recognized me from the year before, which made the experience feel extra special. The beer is always really good, and we like to try something new since they rotate flavors. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town. Such a cool vibe, and the place is huge--would be a fun spot for events! read more

Awesome vibe! Donna provided awesome service on a Friday afternoon with solid recommendations. Their brews are named rather cheekily (ex. Deez Nuts) but they are varied band delicious! Hoppy, sour, dark, dank, just tell her what you're feeling and she'll line you up. Looking forward to coming back for next time - note Mr. Dankey (their version of the west coast IPA) is strong at 6.6%! If you wanna know my favorite? Thicc (not a typo) Pearls brewed with completely NE hops - just outstanding! read more

Heavy Brewing - A flight of decidedly delicious and fresh brews. - Pizza Near Me - Gretna, Nebraska

If you're a craft beer person, you're going to love this place. That's the main drawl. The food was fine. It's basically just fried appetizers and pizzas, but it's good. The chicken strip bites and the cheesy garlic bread were the best items. I loved the Y2K music they had playing. Made my Millennial heart happy. It is family friendly! At least during the early evening during the week is. Everyone there (minus two guys at the bar) had babies or small children with them, our group included. There's pinball and an outdoor area. Wide open seating with huge tables - great for groups. You can order food via your phone or walk up to the food window. Note - place doesn't open until 3pm and food isn't available until 4. I plan to bring my husband here sometime soon. He'll love it. read more

My husband and I visited Heavy Brewing after work yesterday with some friends and family and their two children. First, it is extremely family friendly and kids are welcome. We ordered a beef pizza with mushrooms and olives and it was so good. The crust was crisp and there were plenty of toppings. Later on, we ordered the soft pretzels and they were eve crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The beer cheese sauce for dipping was terrific too. The beer selection was large enough so everyone in our party found something they enjoyed. Overall, the craft beers were all good. Service was friendly and speedy when the place was relatively empty. Food is ordered from a QR code on the table. This process was fast and easy. As it became busier, the line to get drinks was slow and long. This is an area that could use some work. However, it didn't deter us from staying for hours. We were able to watch the Gretna football games on the big screen and socialize. We had a great time and will be back soon! read more

We went to Heavy Brewing for after dinner drinks. The atmosphere is great and the beer is good. They also had hard ciders for my husband! We're definitely going back! read more

Heavy brewing is a fun place to hang out for a great brew! The food is also fabulous. We've come for events with our realtor and they've always had great food and drinks, but finally my husband and I came for an event so I can finally rate it. The brews are always top notch, and super fun flavors. Tonight, I had the "my strippers name is cinnamon," "Vienna oak job," black cherry, and "creepy dunkel Larry." The old fashioned and espresso martini are also great! They have a pizza oven that always makes the pizza crust crispy and well cooked. Pretzel sticks are also a great option, and the chips and salsa! You can't go wrong here, and there's plenty to try. read more

This place was an interesting find....I thought my navigation was taking me off path as Heavy Brewing is tucked into an industrial area in Gretna. Upon entry, its definitely a warehouse feel with lots of open seating, a bar and area for corn hole competitions. A couple of negatives were the beer and pizza purchases had to be separate transactions, it was a bit noisy (cornhole announcements) and I don't recommend the "My stripper name is cinnamon" beer. However, they had some excellent IPAs, I loved the pizza (hot honey was delicious), service was good and the vibe was a lot of fun with good music and lively atmosphere. It was completely full on a Wednesday night with families and adults alike. read more

This place is awesome. Beer is great, staff friendly and knowledgeable. Full kitchen with delicious food. They have a large private room, and bay doors that open on nice days. Cool arcade games too. We came in October and they had several Octoberfest style beers including a marzen and festbier. They also have non alcoholic beer (Athletic brewing), which is huge for people in your group who want the taste without the ABV. read more

They have really good pizza. The beer selection is fun and tasty. It is a fun atmosphere for all ages.

They're s***** beer is the best in town! The review that said the comment about the beer being a mockery is absolutely ridiculous. It is literally one of the best places food and beer, I've ever been and I've been to a lot of places. I feel sorry for Yelp users having to sort this out... read more

Beer and Drinks are amazing. Wish they sold in kegs. We ordered chips and salsa and we must have received the bottom of the bag of chips. All were crushed and salsa is thin so not a good transport for salsa. Pizza had great flavor but crust was soft, not what you would expect from a wood fired oven. read more

Pizza was delicious, pretzels with beer cheese is amazing and great selection of beers. Cool atmosphere.

For me Heavy is all about the atmosphere. It's big and open with tons of games for adults and kids. They have a party room you can rent and lots of tvs to watch sports. They make their own beer and pizza that are both amazing! I would give them 5 starts but the parking horrible so 4 it is. read more

We have been a handful of times and have always enjoyed the beer and food. It is a unique atmosphere that lends itself to larger parties and families which probably isn't for those looking for a quiet sit down dinner, but if you are looking a chill spot to enjoy some food and beer, this is a great spot. read more

Prices are really great here for a brewery, the pizza is really great as well, I would highly recommend getting food there. You have to go to the counter to order which isn't bad, and sometimes is more beneficial. They have pinball and a few other games which is cool to play. I wish they had more mixed drinks, but I do understand its a brewery...not a bar. Great place! read more

This place is great! The staff is awesome. We come here way more than we probably should. It's a great mix of classic style beers and some out there flavors. The IPAs challenge the local interstate big dogs (Get Couples Retreat!) But there is always something for everyone. Whether you are a beer geek or not. There is something for you! Oh and then the pizza!!! ITS SO GOOD!!! read more

I'll start with the disclaimer that I'm not a beer fan but I do appreciate when breweries have food options and non beer drink options. We've been to Heavy Brewing twice; once when they first opened in fall of 2022 and then last week. I got the BBC pizza both times and really enjoyed it. I love bbq based pizzas and especially wood fired. It had brisket and cheese curds, a must try in my opinion. I'll leave the beer review to someone more qualified but excited to see they had expanded their non beer options the second time we went. They have basic wine, some classic cocktails and I was told they would be getting cider, which is exciting. Would love to see this expand more with maybe some local options like Glacial Till Cider. Lots of seating available as it is in a warehouse type building and offers a private room and outdoor games. read more

I've tried this place several times and now I'm giving up on it. The beers are pretty awful, if you like their beer, then I don't think you know what certain styles should taste like. The service has always been friendly. I see a lot of people having parties with their kids so it's a family friendly place. I just won't support a place that's making a mockery of how craft beer should taste. read more

Large selection of beers and food. Friendly and fast service. Parking can be challenging.

As a man that has traveled the globe building, installing, and using craft beer equipment I can say that the brew does an exceptional job brewing some of finest and most diverse beers in Nebraska. The atmosphere is very family friendly, and the staff are all exceptional. The pizza was some of the best I've had in the area. If you're in Gretna this definitely a must stop for great cold craft beer and a top notch pizza! Cheers! read more

Great staff, great food, and a wide variety of very good beers. Also, I'm pretty sure Kevin T below is a fake review... or just someone who is really unhappy with life on earth in general. The review could not be more inaccurate. Those who truly know craft beers will enjoy Heavy - no question. read more

So, I'm not sure if it was bad timing on my first visit but this was my experience.. Right when you walk in the entrance you see a bar tap and counter with several pallets of things and boxes all over. (I almost left because I thought it was closed) then I heard people and kids screaming so I kept walking in..then I almost tripped over some step stools (I think for the kids/arcade games) It just felt like the place was an unfinished construction project with several things left in the taproom that should be stored in the back. Seating felt like I walked into a board meeting with the chairs and tables. Overall beer was fine, service was fine, but the vibe gave nothing for me to want to stay and order pizza or feel comfortable. Also the kids everywhere, screaming and yelling when you're trying to relax and have a beer was not ideal. I guess this place caters to families? Maybe advertise yourself as a pizza place that brews their own beer? For a name like 'Heavy' Brewing it send a mixed message in branding. Again maybe bad timing but that was my experience. Not going out of my way to return and from the owners responses to other yelp feedback, he's probably fine with that. read more

We love Heavy Brewing! Such a cool vibe, amazing craft beer and delicious pizza! Our favorite spot to end the day or enjoy the weekend!!

My wife and I stopped here on the way to date night for a quick bite and some beers. We've never been here before, so I was excited to try it out. Unfortunately we couldn't try as much as we normally would because we had no way to store or secure leftovers. We ordered a single pizza, the BBC. My wife also got a beer, "You're My Beer, Blue", and I got an orange mead. I was excited for the mead and it did not disappoint. It was $6 which is fairly reasonable, and my wife's beer was $7.50 for a 16 oz. All the options for beer come in two to three different sizes and there are a few rotating offerings. The pizza was pretty good, thin crust that was cooked so it was chewy but not too soft and the flavor was delicious. Staff was very friendly and there are TVs for adults and a small arcade for children. It's nice to have a brewery that has a dining area that is child-friendly. I would highly recommend Heavy Brewing for date night or family night. read more

I absolutely hated everything about this place. Right before you walk in all you can hear is kids screaming... when you walk in it smells like feet and pizza. The service was okay, beer wasn't anything special, a huge mess of step stools by pinball machines that you almost trip over. I wont come back read more

Always glad to check out and support a new place, I was excited to venture to this new brewery in Gretna. They're cash less and have mobile ordering for food. I got a seasonal drink on tap and my husband got a beer. Service at the bar was great; very friendly, knowledgeable and quick. The pizza wasn't our favorite but we'd definitely be open to trying another one. Overall some room for improvement but they've got a good thing started read more

The food was very disappointing. The pizza was burnt on the bottom, the mac and cheese bites were made with Kraft, and I am pretty sure they used premade Panda Express sauces for the chicken. However, the pretzels were good. The beer was decent, but the description didn't match the taste. The employees were packing up the place over an hour before closing which made us feel rushed out. I did enjoy the music, board games, and arcade games available. read more

Really enjoyed the place, the food and the booze. I think they could use a larger selection of beverages (and food), but I appreciate them doing what the do best, but would like to see a little larger selection (especially non-IPAs). I will return for the good food and drinks. 4 stars because they were short on food availability and they sell a "5 oz" beer size, but the glass is actually a 4 oz glass and that's pretty shady. read more

My wife and I were looking forward to Heavy Brewing based on the reviews posted. When we arrived at the establishment, the first obstacle was parking. Very limited parking is available. With limited parking, some people parked in a nearby lot. While we were there, over the loud speakers the manager told everyone that parked there must move or be locked in for the night. The pizza is very pricey and did not have much protein on it. Mainly sauce and veggies. Will not eat pizza again. The best part was the beer that was available. Bartenders were very knowledgeable of the beers and gave a good recommendation based on our likes. Overall I give Heavy Brewing a C-. It would take some coaxing to get me back again in the near future. There are several other breweries that will get my $$$$. read more

The beer selection is great and the beers taste amazing! Service is impeccable. Everyone was extremely courteous, kind and helpful. Last but not least the pizza is absolutely incredible. It is made with such fresh ingredients and tastes fantastic. read more

Love the "Just the Crust" and sauce app. and their pizza's are yum! Especially their blueberry dessert pizza. Many of their beers are also highly enjoyable. Service was good for ordering from a QR code. But the line for beer is a bit annoying. Would be nice to also be able to order beers to be brought to your table. I truly detest waiting in any line. The vibe is good for being one super large industrial space. read more

Food was great! We got the meatballs and the hot honey pepperoni pizza (I don't remember the exact name). Both were delicious. My husband got beer. He's a snob and says it was okay. It all tastes the same to me! read more

Beers are awesome. Pizza is awesome. Atmosphere is awesome. Bartenders/owners are awesome. Need I say more?

My kids took me here for Father's Day. We had the Pretzel bites that came with an amazing beer cheese sauce. Added to those were the Gouda Mac and Cheese puffs, not bad, tasted like frozen ones. Just Hamburger was the first pizza then the My Thais are Rubbing Together Chicken Pizza, followed up with the Baller. All of them had a great crust and were equally delicious. Service is kinda self serve kinda not. They did a fine job for kinda not in my opinion. Loud, kids running around. And FUN. read more

Oh boy oh boy, where do I even begin. For starters, the service food was incredible. Seating was quick, the floor wasn't slick, and I walked out with my tummy quite thick. The pizza was so incredible we got one for the road home; however, it didn't even make it out the car. Luke Johnson, the dough boy and sauce spreader, was the mastermind behind all of this! Definitely will be coming back! read more

Great beer and great food. Love supporting local. Fun place for a group. Highly recommend.
