Great place to get a bite to eat for lunch. It was pretty dead when we were there, mid week. So we had great attention from the bartender. I judge all beer places by their pretzels. And LBC did not disappoint. The pretzel bites were delicious and the beer cheese super yummy. Kiddo had the burger and fries, check check, very good. I had the greens salad and added chicken. Everything was fresh and delicious and the chicken was well cooked. All in all food was a definite win. I also tried the dry hopped Pilsner and it was very good. If I ever in Lawrence again, I will 100% come back to this place because everything was great here. read more

Grabbed a drink and a snack on a Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately, service was not great. From something one of the servers said, I think someone or multiple people called in sick. We stood around for about 10 minutes before anyone acknowledged us. Once we were seated, service was very slow. Beers were good! I like that they offer 5oz pours so I could try multiple beers. We ordered nachos. They were big, but I wish they would have had more cheese. The patio was good. I'd give it another chance in the hopes it was just an off day. read more

LBC West is not just another brewpub with experimental craft beer. Nope, it's beer, friendly staff, and some sensational tastes on a strong food menu tucked into a spot out in west LFK. The original LBC has a large, airy space in the Arts District, but this LBC spot just 'fits' right where it is in a 'burbs-ish -strip. Ask any brewer about his or her craft and prepare to listen a lot, as many artisan brewmasters love to talk their works. LBC West offers up a strong rotation from the hoppy to the filling, like a 'lectric or 'lectric-pina IPA to a Tandem stout. Five ounce taster pours are available for anything on tap for $3 each, which allows you to sample your faves and keep it wallet-friendly. I'm a malt lover, so sign me up for brown or red ales, and the Two Hands Anyhow is a spectacular, balanced English Ale. The food fare is a somewhat limited, but wow, talk about focus! Having sampled the LBC nachos (all the reg tops) and the waffle fries (just add the pimento cheese and thank yourself), I opted for the LBC mac n' cheese. It's a generous portion of rotini mixed with a white cheddar and bleu cheese sauce and this dish borders on sinfully delish! A pint and a bowl of mac/chz on a frigid January day and I was out of there for under $20. Not too shabby, and the staff makes it all worth it. Great beer, great food, and a welcoming atmosphere makes LBC West a sure win. read more

We went here with a friend who suggested it. We brought our two dogs and they were very dog friendly, you just have to sit outside on the picnic tables which is fine on a nice day like when we were there. Our server was very nice and when I didn't like the beer I ordered at first- she happy swapped it out for us which was great. We ordered chips and queso/ salsa and the queso was very disappointing. I am a queso lover and only had one bite of it. The salsa was okay. After she swapped out my drink however we didn't see her for about 20-30 minutes and still hadn't ordered our food. We all ordered the LBC burger and it was very tasty. There were tasty sauces on it and it melted in your mouth. Definitely recommend the LBC burger! read more

Great beer, great food, great patio! Inside is upscale with lots of TVs for sporting events.

My family and I love this place. Their food is delicious and comes out quick, and their brewed beer is amazing. The outdoor seating is our favorite. We are regulars and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. read more

Simple but perfect. Open bright dining with indoor seating, bar and outside patio. I had sour beer which was spot on. Menu is full of simple bar variety. Good flavors. read more

We went here because another restaurant downtown was quoting 1.5 hour wait times on a college basketball game day. We were sat here immediately. That should have been a red flag. But, we were just happy to be seated right away. I should have known that it was because the food is pretty bad. I didn't have any of the beer. Maybe that would have made the food taste better. I got the single patty lbc burger with fries. Said it came with a pickle spear. It didn't. Not a huge deal. Server brought out food in 2 separate trips roughly 10 minutes apart. The flavor of the burger was pretty bland. Fries were ok. I would never go back unless someone else really wanted to go there. read more

We had not been there since the pandemic began. But now that we are fully vaccinated, we returned. We were very happy about the changes at the Lawrence Beer Co. West. When they first opened, we were told that there was chicken stock in the tomato basil soup, despite the fact that the "v" on the menu was supposed to mean it was vegetarian. Well now it really is vegetarian, without chicken stock and excellent. Also there have been many changes in the small menu including some innovative options, including some Argentinian preparations and sauces. We especially liked the Veggie Sammy sandwich on toasted sourdough bread with side salad, more then enough for a dinner and excellent. We liked the Brussels Sprouts appetizer, including a very generous serving. We did also get the tomato basil soup, which was first rate. Their best buys in wines are cans of wine. Three cans contain the equivalent of a bottle at a better price than their wine bottles. Next time will try their beer, which clearly is the specialty here. Our prior disappointments at that restaurant are now gone. It's a winner. read more

In a town where everything has changed at my favorite restaurants and nothing quite tastes as good as it used to I've come to rely on LBC as a consistently great meal on trips back to Lawrence. The menu is simple and concise and the food and beer are delicious. On a cold day, dipping the turkey club into a cup of tomato basil soup is about the most perfect comforting meal I've found in Lawrence. read more

LBC recently opened a new location. Same selection of beer. The place is smaller but no shortage of TVs. Perfect sports bar in the neighborhood. Food selection is smaller, but good quality. read more

Food is below expectation, just like another reviewer.... It is empty for a reason Service was ok, but when I asked for straws, the manager/waitress told me they ran out of it ?? What? 7 chicken wings, costs $16 without ranch, and carrots/celery No ambiance to talk about. Empty space read more

This place has become a favorite during the pandemic. The beer is cold and tasty - and a very nice variety, so no matter if you like hoppy or malty, you can find a great beer to try. And the food is good - yes, the menu is simple, because they have a very small cooking facility. But the BLT wrap is AWESOME, and the nachos are terrific. I love the hot ham and cheese sandwich as well. For something to nibble on, the pretzel bits are fantastic with a light cheese sauce. But beware, you get a huge order of these for the money - way more than two people can eat. The service is always great. Enjoy! read more

Great food, service, and craft beer. Highly recommend hanging out watching your favorite team on their many TVs.

My experience here was an overall good one. The food was very tasty and served within a timely manner. My personal complaints would be the portion sizes felt a little small to me but that could just be me thinking with my stomach haha. The beer I ordered was very smooth and delicious as well. The "dessert pretzel" we ordered had me picturing something else other than what was served which was a bowl of ice cream with a few pretzel bites on top. We weren't disappointed with this treat however as the ice cream seemed high quality and "home made" being able to taste the ice cream salt and the pretzel bites being wonderfully soft and warm. read more

Great place for a beer after work! On Tuesday, they have special $3 pours . Service is also fabulous here- they take care of you and have great drink recommendations! One of my favorites the raspberry edel which really has the raspberry come through and is just a little sour without being too sweet. My other favorite is the 'lectric. I'm usually not a big fan of hoppy beers, but this one is well-balanced and has some lovely floral undertones. read more

Love me some LBC! First time to this location was a smashing hit. All though set in a shopping center and doesn't have the same brick vibe as the original location, the food, beer and service were on par. Currently they have two patio seating areas (covid) and everyone is masked up. Def go here if you're out in this area of Lawrence. read more

Ok. Love the beer and food. BUT, i know chicken wing prices have gone up but you need to put on menu that NOW u get 6 wings and fries for 15 bucks. Not cool. Used to be 10 wings for 12 bucks and to go to 6 wings and fries for 15 and not mention on menu is not cool. Good wings but not for that price. Will say the thunderbird patty was damn good and big. Usually a thin patty. Awesome. read more

My favorite burger on this earth: the LBC burger. Single. Amazing pickles and burger sauce. And the best fries.

Solid four stars. Met friends in Lawrence to watch the game (several TVs with no unobstructed views) before going to a concert downtown. Cool vibe, great beer, unique bar food (albeit a bit pricy). Would be even better on a warmer day when you could sit on their outdoor patios. read more

We have been traveling cross country for 5 weeks. This is one of the best TRUE craft breweries. Our bartend, Tate, was so knowledgable about the beers. Food, outside patio, AC, sports TV's, good music. It has all the ingredients you want in a home town bar and more. I wish I lived locally. I wouldn't even try the other brewery in town. It was mediocre at best and the service was rush you out. Not here. We lingered and enjoyed. read more

Absolutely horrible Experience! Tate, the bar manager was dismissive and rolled his eyes at my husband and me. Was severed the wrong food, when I asked him to take it off the bill, he said "Do you know my name?" read more

came here with my family, place is overall amazing. food is great and so is the service, totally recommend coming here if you're looking for a calm evening and delicious food. read more

My favorite place to get a burger in town. Don't love the prices- I think it's a little too much. But I keep coming back because it's a nice smash patty with delicious sauce. The waffle fries are a good side too. If you order them as a starter, you get pimento cheese, which pleases my Southern sensibilities. The nachos are also really solid and the beef is seasoned well (but again $11 plus $4 for meat feels on the high end). We also usually get the pretzel bites which come with honey mustard sauce (this is real honey mixed with, I think, Dijon mustard, not your typical fast food honey mustard) and the pimento cheese. The west location has tables out in the parking lot area as well as side patio with a fireplace, so you can enjoy the outdoors. Or if you're an indoor person, the AC is usually cranked high, so bring a sweater. The bar is also oddly fancy? Like it's this huge marble slate. read more

The staff is awesome overall... which brings me to my next point.. the beer here is incredible. I don't know what human being was blessed with this fine palate to create such enjoyable beer but once you taste it you'll realize it's nectar from the gods. read more

Great beer and the nicest staff ever. We went in last Saturday night and didn't realize they closed at 9 pm -- 8:55 pm arrival. They not only served us a pint but were so kind. read more

I've eaten here twice now while working on the nursing home roof. The staff are very friendly and the food is just on point. I'd love to have a beer with lunch but this is highly frowned upon in construction so I just drink water to rehydrate. I will say the beer selection looks amazing and the prices are very reasonable. I had the chance to be served by the owner today and what a nice guy Adam is. If you are in the area and looking for a pleasant place to grab a bite and a brew this should be near the top of your list. read more

I'm already a fan of LBC's beers and that hasn't changed. The quality of food also carried over though, which is a less certain task. I had the hot ham sandwich and it was very nice, cooked well and a good combo of flavors. Tried two small pours of beers and both were good. Service was very attentive, although it's not immediately clear you should seat yourself. The food menu is limited here, but the options are great for a more casual meal. A selection of sandwiches/burgers and some appetizers. The price is decent as well. read more

Poor service, no indication when you walk in to seat yourself or wait for someone to seat you. After a couple of minutes I went to the bar to ask and he said seat yourself. After a few minutes waiting I gave up and left. read more
