Had such a great experience at Hourglass Brewing in Longwood! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The drinks were really good with a great variety to choose from, and everything tasted fresh and well crafted. I also loved the atmosphere -- super chill, fun, and the perfect place to hang out with friends or just relax after a long day. The vibe is cozy but energetic at the same time, and you can tell they really care about creating a great experience for their customers. Definitely one of my favorite local spots now. Can't wait to come back and try more drinks. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area! read more

Enormous space with awesome art, Sci-Fi themed, with a fantastic selection of beers and ciders. Staff is super friendly Met a bunch of my friends there and we all had a great time Perfect place to meet up and hang out read more

If you're looking for a laid-back spot with a huge drink selection and fun weekly activities, Hourglass is a great local hang. The parking situation isn't the best, there's very limited parking in the front lot of the brewery but there is a lot behind the building if it's full, and it can get full so just be prepared to walk a bit if it's busy. Inside, there's a solid amount of seating with a relaxed, casual vibe. They also have games you can play while hanging out, which makes it a great place to spend a couple hours with friends. What really stands out is the selection. They have a huge variety of beers (something for everyone), plus ciders, non-alcoholic options, and even soda. It's one of those places where everyone in your group will be able to find something they like. They don't serve food, but you're allowed to bring your own, which is a big plus. There's a wing spot just a few doors down that makes it super convenient to grab something and bring it back. They also host events throughout the week, my personal favorite is Wednesday night bingo. It's always a fun crowd and a good midweek activity. Overall, it's a great local brewery with a welcoming vibe, tons of drink options, and fun things to do. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area read more

This review goes back to my drinking days. I haven't drank, or been back to Hourglass since October 2024. My favorite drink here was the milk stout. Mom and I would come here for a drink and bingo night on Wednesdays. It was fun! The vibe was laid back and fun, a great "hang out" spot. The downside was them not serving food. I like to snack when I drink, so that was a bit annoying. They were polite about outside food though! We would hit the food truck outside, or get Mexican from Tamale & co. If you like pina coladas, look elsewhere. If you like locally brewed beer, this is the spot! read more

Hourglass Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Longwood, Florida

​Hourglass is a Longwood staple for a reason. It's spacious, artistic, and has a massive taproom that feels more like a community hangout than just a bar. They've got a rotating gallery of local art on the walls and a massive selection of tabletop games, making it the kind of place where you actually want to stay for a few rounds. Wednesday Bingo is a must - ​If you're looking to break up the work week, Wednesday night Bingo is the absolute move. It's easily some of the most fun I've had at a brewery in Central Florida. The energy is high, the caller keeps things moving, and it's surprisingly competitive in the best way possible. I've been lucky enough to win a few times, and the cash prizes are a great win! It starts at 7:00 PM, but get there early if you want a good table near the speakers. ​Their tap list is legendary for its variety. Whether you're into heavy, barrel-aged stouts or crisp, experimental sours, they have something for every palate. On my last visit, I had tried all their sours and they were incredibly yummy. They also have a great selection of "to-go" cans if you want to take the vibes home. ​ ​One of the best perks of this location is the proximity to Papa Bees. You can grab food from next door and bring it right into the brewery, which makes it an easy spot for a full dinner-and-drinks night out. read more

Hourglass Brewing - Brown beer - Breweries Near Me - Longwood, Florida

Hourglass Brewing is an excellent brewery located in Longwood. It happens to be right down the street from several vintage toy shops if you're into that. So far, I've enjoyed their brown bear brews and the apricostic bourbon barrel honey beer. I enjoy that they have several beers with nods to the Orlando area, including one that pokes fun at the Orlando eye sore. One thing to keep in mind if you stop in though is that they do not serve food, unless you count the food truck that is usually at the back of the brewery. read more

Hourglass Brewing is such a fun local spot with a great vibe. They always have an awesome selection of local drafts on tap, and the space itself is filled with cool art that makes it stand out from other breweries. The event nights are always a hit--fun, lively, and they bring in a good crowd without ever feeling overwhelming. Big shoutout to Sean behind the bar--he's knowledgeable, super friendly, and always makes great recommendations. Whether you're there for a casual pint, hanging out with friends, or checking out an event, Hourglass is one of the best spots in Longwood. read more

Been to a flood zone of brewery's over my time, this place ranks up in the top 5. Amazing awesome atmosphere, decor, and delicious brew ha ha. So much to do while you partake of a truly tasteful beer. Check out the paintings on the wall to find you favorite 80's theme movie or TV Series . Cheers! read more

Strange to sit at a blank screen for as long as I have on this one - four or five stars. Well, let's make it five and start writing. The place is huge. There are places to get food next door. Service is wonderful. The things to keep you entertained while enjoying your brew are all over the place. The brew list is huge and it is quite an adventure. Maybe almost too much so. I personally would like to see touch higher ratings and a bit less of a wild ride. The real problem here is coming at the wrong time. You might find yourself with standing room only. The tables outside do help since they are away from the entertainment, but you are only going to get that far after successfully parking. You would think that with a lot that wraps around to a large chaotic mess in the back would be ample for everyone, and not only did I have a hard time finding a place, but others were circling when I left to find out where I parked! read more

Love!!! I actually avoided Hourglass for a couple of years because I was partial to a few other breweries that have since closed. After coming back recently, I truly see the foley of my ways. The selection is robust and you really can find a bit of everything you enjoy. I'm a sucker for a good juicy IPA and they do not disappoint. The space is large with plenty of seating. There's also an amazing wing spot next door that you can bring over to enjoy with your beers. Absolutely a worthy casual night (or day!) out spot. read more

Loved this place. Barrel aged Apricaustic honey beer. Goes down smooth. Great atmosphere as well.

Nice and clean brewery! Walked in and appreciated how much space was around. They had pinball, some arcade games, and board games to play with friends. A nice selection of brews and the staff was very friendly. I only grabbed one beer, but it was full of flavor! The bathrooms are also clean and I thought it was cool that they displayed art available for purchase. Also appreciated that there was food and the brick store there. read more

Hourglass Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Longwood, Florida

I've visited Hourglass many times over the years to stop in for a beer or two and have always been impressed by the drinks and service. A few weeks ago I noticed the parking lot was completely packed. Turns out it was trivia night! We had so much fun and I've never experienced "emoji trivia" which is a blast. I've been back for trivia, bingo and have started running with there run club! Definitely an amazing local place, that's connected to Papa Bees, so where could you go wrong?!!!! read more

This is my favorite brewery by far. The beer is excellent and something new is always come out. My favorites are their sours. The staff are the best and great at remembering people. We've made friends with several of their bartenders. The taproom is full of memorabilia and fun murals on the walls. There's a long line of pinball machines and a mystery vending machine. They also have a mini game console at the bar and a variety of board games and comics to borrow while you visit. They don't sell food, but you are welcome to bring in outside food. Hourglass holds really fun events and lets you use their taproom for your own personal event. Right now they frequently have food vendors rotate throughout the months. They also do bingo nights, run club, and trivia nights. There's so many places to sit both inside and outside along the building. Parking is usually always available all around the building but can get full during big sport events on tv or events happening in the bar. If a major event is going to go on, they give advance notice on best places for extra parking nearby. read more

I had had then on my list to try but since I don't come to the area often, I have missed them all this time! The brewery is very spacious and nice. The have games, inside and outside seating and a couple of sizes for the beer they have. The staff is nice, attentive and happy to answer questions or make any recommendations. We went with 2 and sure were good! We got the I-4 Eyesore (lager with citrus), Hiram's Secret Sauce (strawberry/lemon) and the Life in Plastic (berry blend w/vanilla). We enjoyed all of them but the favorite was Hiram's. We need to come back and try their sour, which I forgot to ask details about it. The do have cider but it is not made in house (since it is done in a different process and license) but still offer alternatives. We will definitely come back and if you get hungry, there are 2 restaurants next door. read more

What a cool spot ! The alcohol selection was so good I tried 5 different drinks and all were amazing. My favorites were an Apple cider and the other was a mango flavored cider. They also have non alcoholic beverages like jones soda which my kids loved. This is a place for all ages honestly. We held a birthday party here and had the private room where they ordered wings for the wing spot next door and had pizza delivered with an open bar tab. We had kids from 4 months to 20 there and they all enjoyed themselves. Bar service was phenomenal as the bar tenders knew their drinks! Gave great selections and they offered flights ( highly recommend) while engaging with guest. The arcade games including pac man had all of us playing and we were a large group. This was my first time here and definitely not my last. It's so dope and I really loved seeing the cool beer equipment and barrels through the glass walls!!! If you have not come , what are you waiting for ?!!! This is perfect for dates, girls or guys night outs, and private events. read more

SERVICE: 5 FOOD QUALITY: N/A DRINK QUALITY: 5 ORDER TIME: 5 AESTHETICS: 5 NOISE LEVEL: 5 MENU SELECTION: 5 OVERALL EXPERIENCE: 5 One of the many breweries on our checklist that we finally decided to visit. The moment we entered we knew we had found our happy place. The inside is a rainbow of pop culture and pure nostalgia. You can choose to order at the middle of the bar and grab a table, or just grab a seat at the bar. We chose the bar because we wanted to be able to ask the bartender questions. The bartender on our side was so friendly and helpful. She was a blast to chat with. Also, got lucky and chose a night that they were doing music trivia with a live DJ. Everything on their menu looked amazing with tons of creative options to choose from. I went with the Irish Curse because I love red ale, and it did not disappoint. While enjoying our beer we got a little hungry, and the bartender told us we could order from either of the restaurants next door and bring it to the bar. We also learned that they have a sour beer brewery called sour glass brewing. We are excited to give it a try to compare it to the wonderful sours we are use to drinking in Grand Rapids. Overall, this place was everything and more than what we were expecting. Amazing service, beer, and decor. The DJ and trivia were an added bonus. Thus far, one of our favorite breweries. A definite must go if you're craving good beer mixed with superb food options next door. read more

Visited this establishment for the first time yesterday evening. They had bingo going on and it was a lively environment with a packed house. The bar is spacious with plenty of seating, and there are many tables and chairs for those who would prefer. The space is decorated with all sorts of cool merch from tv shows and such and there are abundant arcade game choices along the wall if you'd like to play while you drink. The beer menu had a great, varied selection with ample choices for everyone. The bartender was great and he let us try a few different beers. I settled on a peanut butter salted caramel porter called Trashed Tanuki-- I'm not typically a beer drinker but this was smooth and went down easy. I also got to try The Floor Is Lava (strawberry passion fruit sour), boba (cherry, watermelon, lime sour), apricaustic (high ABV apricot honey beer), and the "green tea shot" seltzer. I really am not a beer person but I appreciated the flavors and balance of all of these beers, and they felt very easy to drink. Although they do not serve food, a regular told me that sometimes they have other restaurants come in and sell food on certain nights which is super cool. I would highly recommend this spot for a casual fun night out, especially with some good friends! read more

This is such a great craft brewery location! Hourglass offers a wide variety of their beers on tap as well as in cans to take with you. This location is so spacious and has a ton of seating as well as board games you can play, pinball, and darts. They have a ton of televisions all around the brewery that play a variety of things. There is also a taco place located right next door, Wako Tacos, and they will bring your taco order to your table. They offer a wide variety of beers but always have some classic styles. But if you are feeling adventurous, they do normally have a few outside the box flavors. My only complaint is that I wish we lived closer to here! Hourglass has town locations now in the Orlando area and this one is still my #1. read more

I am happy to see Hourglass continue to do well and constantly evolve. I first went way back when they were in a little house in Longwood (not far from the current Longwood location), the place smelled of hops and was dimly lit and about 10 or so people could fit inside and there were give or take 3 maybe 5 beers on tap at any given time. The beer was just ok and had that Florida Water aftertaste. When they moved to the current space in Longwood (before they added Sourglass) there were more beers in tap, much bigger space and the promise of adjacent food joints. Once Wako Taco and Papa Bee's opened that was a game changer and I found myself there more often and enjoyed rooting on the Bucs or Orlando City while chowing down on some hot wings or guacamole. Most beers (in my opinion) were still Florida Water cursed (metallic tasting), but at least there were some really good options. In the last few years the upgrades they have made to their system (tanks and filtration) have improved the quality and taste of their beer. I appreciate they are willing to take risks and have also at the same time dialed back a bit and are delivering very tasty, clean unique beer. They also have a wide range and numerous options. They pump out new beers so fast, it is not possible to get bored with their selection. The beers I had the other night (especially the Nom Nom Blueberry Cobbler) were fantastic. The service has always been excellent. Even on the busiest nights they are attentive and make sure you are not waiting aimlessly. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions along with providing solid recommendations. Kudos and much thanks to all of the hardworking team there! I admire how they constantly strive to get better and their passion shows. The space has also evolved over the years and I love the themed art shows that showcase local artists. They have added arcade games and at one point had a few axe throwing lanes / cages. As other reviews have mentioned my biggest knock is how loud it is inside. You have to almost yell talk or be right next to someone when they are busy. Looking forward to the next visit. read more

This location is in Longwood in a small shopping mall. I heard that there is another location downtown but we have only been to the location in Longwood. There are plenty of parking spots in front as well as the back. There are also two restaurants next to the brewery which you can order from and actually bring into Hourglass. There are plenty of seats inside and outside. They brew their own beer and it definitely has a distinct taste. They do have lots of choices, I believe almost 30-40 beers. They will let you sample a beer first but only 3 times. I have not been able to find one that I really like except for 1 which was limited edition. I find their beers very hoppy or sour and honestly just not my taste. They did make a raspberry beer, which I loved. I actually purchased some cans to bring home. However, last time we went they had sold all their stock. They do sell some of their beers to bring home with you. What I really like is that they have a really large area for seating, pin ball machines and boxes of different games that you can play at your table. I definitely love that there are so many local breweries in the Orlando area. This location is really good, I just need to find the one I really like. If you are looking for a nice place to hang out with friends, this is a great place to head over to. They have trivia nights once a week, plenty of board games to play and lots of beer choices. read more

Hourglass Brewing is a wonderful experience. The choices of beer is light, hoppy, malty, sours, farmhouse & wild, indulgent, and hard seltzers (gluten free) Cavernous Pines is my favorite so far. This is an American IPA. Simply everything you'd want in an IPA. Deliciousness. The goal of course is to have every single beer. Great atmosphere. Love the music, they have board games for everyone to play at the table. Love Hourglass read more

Great place to stop by for a quick drink! There's lots of options and I loved my canned sour. I also enjoyed looking at all the decor, and there's plenty of space to come and relax with friends. If I'm ever in the area again I'd definitely want to try other drinks :) read more

Just as great of an atmosphere as their Orlando location, only with pinball machines! Their menu is diverse, parking is relatively easy (although can get crowded), and the service is helpful. Good amount of indoor seating, and they have a self pour water jug. read more

This was our first time here, as we've only gone to the Hourglass on Curry Ford. We walked in and went straight to the bar to order our drinks. We both got the Wolf Shirt (light lager). We enjoyed two rounds while watching a movie on their projector screen. Love the concept of old school games (you have to pay for it). We'd come back! read more

Can't say enough good things about Hourglass Brewing! The bartenders are very friendly and quick! The beer is great, I haven't tried a beer I didn't like.

One of the best breweries in Central Florida! read more

Hourglass Brewing - Outdoor seating - Breweries Near Me - Longwood, Florida

First time trying out the first brewery established in Seminole County. Impressions; Pro's: I tried 4 different beers and all 4 were some of the best beers I've experienced in any Central Florida Brewery. Impressive! I purchased a 4-pack of Wolf Shirt Lager. Food: Food not available inside but Papa Bee's wings are next door and were amazing! You can bring food inside the brewery which was great. A pop up BBQ was also on the scene which was a big thumbs up as well. Con's: wasn't a huge fan of the seating and they could probably free up some room being taken up by quite a few pinball machines that nobody was playing. We found a seat at the bar which was perfect however. Anyhow- highly recommended and enjoy! Cheers! read more

This was one of the first breweries we frequented when I moved to Orlando, and it continues to be one we drive out to now and again to try their different beers. Even though they opened a closer location, we still prefer the Longwood location. It's more open, spacious, and we just enjoy the laid back atmosphere. They probably have the most beers on tap of any of the local breweries we've been to. Sure BJ's and Yard House probably have more, but most of the ones at Hourglass are theirs. They make a LOT of different beers. Sometimes, their adventurous nature can make for a beer that's not an every day drinkable beer, but you gotta give this team credit for trying. The staff is always friendly, willing to let you have a sip to see if you want it, and helpful with recommendations. Looking forward to what they come up with next! read more
