We had just finished a bike ride at Pennypack and searched Yelp for breweries nearby when we came across Human Robot. What a fun find! The bartenders were incredibly personable and spent time chatting with us, which really added to the experience. The brewery itself is quite large, with plenty of seating, including an upstairs area. They don't offer flights, but the bartender was happy to provide samples of the beers I was interested in. Unfortunately, none were really my style--I'm a dedicated IPA girl, and they only had one IPA on tap at the time. My husband, however, really enjoyed a couple of the Hallertau Pils tank pours. If you've never had a tank pour before, it's a unique experience and definitely different from a traditional draft beer. They also have an extensive Mexican food menu. We shared the Pollo con Costra y Chile Güero, and it was delicious--very authentic and full of flavor. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely recommend this brewery, especially if you're looking for a unique beer experience, great service, and excellent food. read more

Do you want one of the top rated breweries in the country? Would you prefer a place with a local feel; one with bartenders that know and care about their beer and want you to enjoy what you order? Would you rather pick a place that also has creative (and stong!) cocktails? How about a place with a huge space that allows you to be in the crowd or get away with your group? Good, because Human Robot Jenkintown has all of that. You won't see high varieties of pastry stouts or high abv IPAs here. They specialize in European ales and lagers, but mix and match with hazy IPAs, a sour, and styles, all ranging from solid to top tier. The only real con is lack of parking (people use the Jenkintown parking access the street). Note that there is food onsite, but that's a different company and won't be rated here. That said, we've had good meals here. We highly recommend this place, and if you consider yourself a beer connoisseur, it's a must visit! read more

I found a new favorite place. After a movie next door at the Highway, we wandered into Human Robot to enjoy live music, great home brews, and top notch Mexican food. We started with the guac trio, perfectly done, with the right amount of heat. We will definitely be back soon. read more

We stumbled upon Human Robot after getting tattoos up the street. The bartender was welcoming and attentive. I started with a blood orange margarita, which was good, but the terrestrial reflection IPA is perfect. The brewery and food are separate (two businesses, one space). The brewery is spacious with plenty of seating and suitable for families (high chairs are available). read more

Came here before the Jenkintown Arts Festival for a beer. This place is huge inside. Lots of room for large parties. Great beer selection. They have an assortment of food including German delicacies on their menu. I was loving the atmosphere here. The Czech Dark Lager was very thick and tasty. I can't wait to come back and try their pretzels! read more

Love this bar! Ray is one of the best bartenders around, not a rude bone in his body. He goes out of his way to remember faces, names, and past conversations. He always has a welcoming smile for you upon arrival, and I never leave feeling unhappy. Will return many, many more times. read more

Never have I felt more welcome than I do at Human Robot. The bartenders know our names and always have a friendly greeting. The beer is great. There is also something new to try or an old favorite. If you're not into beer, there is cocktail and mocktails available. The vibe is genuine and I highly recommend it. read more

Review of the food part, not bar: Came for Father's Day lunch based on a good prior experience. Certainly not the case this time! Place was packed and clearly understaffed. Had reservations, so got sat right away with no warning that service would be slow. It took about 30 minutes to get our food order taken (drinks a non issue as they were ordered directly from bar); after hour 30 asked where our nachos were and due to our inquiries and upset tone those finally arrived (minus the chicken). Two hours into experience, asked again where our food was, the waiter went to check and realized he never put in our order! At that point we just left. The bar did comp one of the drinks but entire experience was a disaster. We get that places get swamped, but maybe at some point check on your tables and see where their food is? Terrible experience! Never going back.. read more

I really really like this spot. My husband and I shared some veggie options (we're omnivores and were in the mood for veggie), including the weggiewurst and the paprikasschnitzel with substituted weggieschnitzel. Both were delicious. I particularly loved the spicy sauce on the schnitzel. Would order both again (why eat meat when these were sooo good?)Also loved the accompanying hand cut shoelace fries (so crispy). For drinks we both had the SA Citra ipa. They were full bodied , fruity and hoppy and they makes us happy (sorry). We were here on a late afternoon/ early sat eve and the place was full of families with little kids (they have a nice kids menu too). Great neighborhood feel. read more

Just hopped in a few weeks ago to pickup the beer to go, unfortunately they don't fill growlers. Place itself had a good vibe, was packed on a Saturday night (with a surprising amount of kids and babies) l sampled a few drafts, both dark and got both in cans. Parking situation wasn't the best, we just parked at the ups lot for the minute we were in there. Solid beers, will come back again when visiting family. read more

We had the most rude bartender of all time! This is a third rate establishment in Jenkintown not a bar in Manhattan! We will never go back ever again! read more

We went for dinner and got a very good "Tex-mex" style meal. The service was very good and knowledgeable of all the items. We sat at the table right near the bar which wasnt too bad. Would like them to have a porter or stout in the rotation but that's to be expected with the season. read more

The food at human robot was pretty good! I got some roasted Brussels sprouts that were made so well. The beers are fresh, the ambiance is bright with a decent amount of noise going on. I have sitting in a restaurant and it feels like a library this is not that! Service was good as well. read more

Amazing! That's all I have to say, the beers are great the ambiance was amazing and the service was to die for lol. Our bartender (Ethan) was great, was knowledgeable about the beers and was also kind enough to recommend other breweries we may like. Ethan even drank a milk tube with us and it was on him. Would recommend coming here for anyone wanting to chill and watch a sporting event and have great beer. read more

I recommend Human Robot in Jenkintown. Very good drinks food and entertainment. You can bring your entire family. Very roomy atmosphere.

Great beers and good bar food. I like that you can order from your phone and it comes out fairly quickly. We love coming here on special nights when they have trivia or beer tastings. This is a good neighbor spot, easy to walk to if you are local to Jenkintown. read more

We had a lovely parents day out checking out the new digs in Jenkintown. The space is awesome and the beers we already knew were great. Super quick food service and we really enjoyed the amount of space we had. read more

I want to love this place. The beer is fantastic, the ambience is nice and the food is fine for bar food. But I absolutely cannot get over the service. They are hesitant to hand you a real menu and when you compare the real one to the online one, they don't fully match. Not that it matters because this restaurant doesn't have servers. You have to order off your phone. Want a drink? Walk yourself to the bar and then take it back to your table. Want water? HA. You have to pick that up yourself, too. If the cooler even has water in it - which it didn't. And don't even think that someone is going to come by and make sure your food came out okay, because they aren't. But you're going to forced to tip at least 15%. Not sure to who, but they definitely don't deserve it. I get it. Times are tough and you want to reduce expenses. I suspect this is really two businesses sharing one building. But if I'm paying $16 for a greasy schnitzel and expected to tip you a minimum of 15% on top, you'd better at least ask me if it came out okay and offer a glass of water with ice in it that didn't come from a cooler. I originally rated this 3 stars because the beer was excellent. But I'm even more annoyed thinking about that stupid cooler. If I wanted to serve myself at restaurant prices, I'd just order takeout. read more

Went for the first time on a weeknight. Not busy a busy evening. Ordered the Jaeger schnitzel. Comes out as an open face sandwich. A single piece of chicken, about palm size. Served over a hamburger bun. Smothered in mushroom gravy. Minimally, it should have been at least a big enough piece of chicken to cover both pieces of bun or serve it with two palm size patties. Also note the chicken was dry. Seems almost incongruous. Came with French fries that were pretty decent. Pretzel bites reminded me of something you would buy a bucket of at Aunt Annie's. If that's your jam, great. But didn't care for them. Cheese curds, however, were solid. Saving grace. Period. Beer was awesome. But don't need the bartender to remind me of the alcohol content when I go up for a second beer. Seemed like an odd thing for them to mention. The venue is cool and may give it a try on a different evening. Perhaps I just hit it on and off night read more

Great beer and even better food!! Get the schnitzel Sammy with the dill sauce. The fries are freshly cut and all of the sauces are homemade, we couldn't help but try them all! Staff was very knowledgeable and friendly, could hang here and drink and eat all day. read more

Just say yes and when you get there you have to order the Brussels sprouts! They are a chef's kiss! The flavor of the apples and onions blend incredibly well and they are the best I have ever had and I order Brussels everywhere. I just about danced with every bite. The service was wonderful and the atmosphere is great for a date night or just to watch the game. If you enjoy a bit of spice with your savory and sweet, order the schnitzel waffle and add a bit of hot sauce. You won't regret it. read more

Human Robot is already a Philly favorite brewery who just opened their second location, taking over the former site of Neshaminy Brewing in Jenkintown. They are already off to a great start with excellent beer and customer service experience from their primary location in the city. Unlike most other breweries they are open throughout the week and stay open late. The pub itself is a great atmosphere, with plenty of seating and a lot of open space. There is 2nd floor seating which seems like it would be great to reserve for a small to medium party. If you come here, you have to try the "milk pour" which they are famous for in PA beer circles. After that, I highly recommend the Chai Latte Stout. The aroma makes it enjoyable before it even hits your lips, and the taste is even better. They rent their kitchen out to a separate company, which makes German food. You have to order from them on your phone by scanning their QR code. The food looked good, albeit a little pricey, but I have not tried it yet. Overall Human Robot is a cool pub, and great choice to hit up before or after a movie at the adjacent theater. read more

Very solid brewpub. The bartenders were extremely friendly and the atmosphere was good. I wished I had an appetite before coming here, as the food options looked very tempting. My favorite drink of the night was the Rouge et Mosaique French Style IPA. It has a nice tartness to it with the subtle hint of the classic IPA. read more

Human Robot - two stickers on a table - Brewpubs Near Me - Jenkintown, Pennsylvania

Used to love this place. You could seat yourself, get some beers, and then order delicious German food via QR codes on the table. A great brewery vibe. Now, it's a full on sit-down restaurant (with a bar in the back if u want beer). You still have to go up to the bar to get drinks, except now ur confined to ur table since it's a Mexican restaurant and no longer a brewery. Although the Mexican food was good, I am disappointed with the changes because the entire function of the place has gone away. Don't bother coming if you are just on the hunt for a brewery, because you will be forced to sit at a table and order food. read more

We started off with drinks, the cider beer was not drinkable and the espresso martini was completely watered down, zero alcohol tasted. We paid our bill and then told them our concerns about their alcohol being watered down and they just said our alcohol isn't. We did suggest they look into it. read more

First off, no flights offered. A big strike against most breweries. You are allowed samples but I prefer get several 4 or 5 ounce pours. Secondly, parking is difficult in Jenkintown. The food was not tasty. Braushaus Schmidt down in Philly is far superior in food and beer selection. Can't believe I let my brother pick this place. read more

Beer here is really good, but they desperately need a new system. Crazy that you can order food and other non alcoholic drinks tableside, but the *only* way to order beer is through the bar- where everyone stands around and blocks access. Shame read more

This place, much like their spot in Kensington, is awesome. Beer is my favorite in the city, especially with some styles you don't often see at craft breweries--Italian/Czech/Mexican/NZ lagers/pilsners. The bartenders are knowledgeable, friendly, and happy to provide tailored recommendations. The german food we've gotten hits the spot and complements the beer--kaesespaetzle and the wursts were standouts. Don't forget to try a round of milk tubes! read more

Pretzels were yummy. Beers were tasty. Nice and dark ambiance. And the servers were so nice!

Great spot ( one in Philly also)! Glad this addition is in Jenkintown! My husband loves the West Coast IPA! Cider was also tasty - not overly sweet. People are nice, wide open space-- great food to order ! Fries are tasty and so are the chicken sandy and cheeseburger! Worth it ! read more

This is a great spot with phenomenal beer. The staff is friendly and helpful. The space is fun and family-friendly. And the beer is absolutely top-notch. One star off is actually for the food. Everything is prepared well, but for some reason there is an aggressive amount of curry with everything. Chicken is well-fried and crispy. The fries are good, but the amount of curry in everything is a bit of a turn off. I personally like curry, but don't necessarily need it in every dish. Most dishes come with curry ketchup, and when we asked for regular ketchup for my 4 year old daughter they didn't have it. We thought she would be fine eating the plain chicken schnitzel, but there was even some kind of curry marinade under the breading. If they could expand their menu to include a few curry-free items and maybe some kid-friendly food we would be in this place all the time. But as it stands now as a dinner option we tend to stay away due to the lack of options for kids and non-curry fans like my wife. read more

Stopped in a few weeks ago with a buddy, they had just opened but everything ran flawless on the beer side. The only reason not for 5 stars was the food, grabbed a few starters and none of it was worth the money. They just opened so I am hoping it was just due to figuring it out. Can't wait to go back in and see. read more

Great beers and service. Food is also great but needs to be ordered by phone. We usually go to the bar, but there is plenty of seating and booths also. read more

NO FLIGHTS??? What kind of brewery doesn't have flights? Why are you a brewery if you don't want people to be able to sample your delicious beers? I'm sorry that I am responsible and don't want to drink more than 2-3 or beers and drive home. Minus another star for the attitude from man bun guy with the leaf tattoos like I'm the asshole for asking a brewery for a flight... read more

They give you a half a glass of foam a charge for a full glass of beer. For a real beer drinker who is very familiar with pours in Germany, England and Ireland this is a total rip off. Go to Kings Corner for a much better pour. read more

Nice atmosphere good service decent food and beer. I wasn't there during a busy time but I've heard it gets loud and crowded at peek.

Came here with family after seeing the stellar reviews. While the beer here is solid, the best word for the service is random. Our food came out for a party of 4 over the space of 45 minutes, all separately except for the first 2. Our servers were mostly nice and were very apologetic after we had asked them to compensate our order for a bacon egg & cheese that took that whole 45 minutes (by the time it came out everyone was done w their meals). After we made a fuss about it, management came over and DID COMP the BEC & one of our appetizers, which was a nice gesture, but also the right thing to do. Maybe we caught them on an off day, but whoever is cooking in the kitchen's timing is way off. I've worked in food for almost 8 years, and I know that there were not enough people waiting for food that it should take 45 mins for an egg & bacon to cook, even if the bacon is cooked to order. Unfortunately, I can't see myself coming back here, and made a day with family blemished. Come here to get a beer to-go, especially the polotomavy, but don't expect anything above average if you order food. read more

Went this past Friday to their Herman's at The Haus setup in Jenkintown, it was alright. The food wasn't bad, but a little strange, never had chicken schnitzel as schnitzel usually pork or veal. Beer was very good per the Human Robot standard. The only real downside to the place is the self-service atmosphere, very few staff there on a Friday night, QR code menu's and checkout, had to go to the bar to order beer since there aren't any waitstaff, but the worst was self-service water from a Gatorade cooler in the back corner of the bar, everything is served in plastic baskets which is a big tip off that they're doing everything the can to cut costs. The best way I can describe the place is that I wouldn't be surprised if someone asked us to roll some silverware before we left. read more
