Great spot to grab a beer and get some work done. They have a nice selection of beers on tap and the service is always friendly. I was really excited to see a Japanese rice lager available which was a fun surprise ! The brewery is relaxed and perfect for being productive or just hanging out. I'm also interested in checking out the immersive art exhibit soon. It sounds like a unique experience. Definitely worth stopping by. Give them a try! read more

Perhaps we came on a bad day, but the vibe was just off for me. We came shortly after opening on a Sunday. Only one other person there. Did not get a sense of welcome from the one staff person present. My husband thought the beer was alright though. The one game we pulled out had tons of missing cards. Might be a good idea to give those a refresh. Looks like they had a cool outdoor patio space. read more

Lively Beerworks is a Harvest Host member. So happy this place was on our trip. Was a great stop after a 500 mile day driving. Loved the wide open tasting room. They have large selection of T Shirts for sale. Games to play while enjoying your beverage. Great place to relax. Large outdoor patio. Would be a great place for a party. I had a couple Thunder Punch cocktails it was delicious. Bill had a couple IPA's he really enjoyed. Also snacked on a couple bags of pretzels the Dill Pickle & Everything they were both delicious. We live in Eastern Washington state where Hops & Wheat are grown. read more

Really good beer! I believe there is only one person working most of the time, but the service is adequate. You do have to go up to the bar to order, but that's the same for most other breweries. The only thing I wish is that they had more shaded areas on their patio and a few more comfy couches/chairs. Right now there are painted picnic tables outside and some cute little tables and chairs inside. read more

I LOVE LIVELY BREWERY! The staff is great and always helpful. With all the breweries around I find that Lively is hands down one of the top breweries. The TML is by far my favorite beer they have made. Here's there info about it: Tropical Mexican Lager Lager - Mexican 4.8% ABV 8 IBU This is our tried and true Mexican Lager with a smooth, fruity helping of Passion Fruit, Orange, and Gauva. Throw a lime on it sail away. read more

The beers were very good and it was a casual, comfortable place. There were several beers that were "cream" based and they all sounded heavenly. I recall stating out loud that "surely those can't be as good as they sound." Spoiler alert: 2 out of 3 were as good as my rather high expectations and there was some disagreement in my group as to what was the best. So they were all probably good. There was a definitive cream flavor, without it being too much of a dessert drink and/or too little of a cream presence. The stouts were strong, as advertised, with their baseline being a good contrast to the "fruitier options." Out of the seven or so we tried, I think there was only one I didn't like. Of course, the beer was doing it's job, so I can't quite recall which. read more

This place is OKC!! Friendly and adventurous. The bartenders were kind and helpful. The beer is unlike any other you will experience. They have a range of beers that taste like cake or diesel! Give this fun local hotspot a try. You won't regret it. read more

Well this was a nice surprise. Super friendly staff and gave great suggestions. They had 4 stouts to choose from! Yes!! Normally places have 1 or 2 and stouts are my jam so this was a nice surprise. My favorite ended up being The MAX which was a sour. It had great flavor and was refreshing. The Holidy stout had great flavor notes as well. They were out of their vanilla stout, but will just have to hold that for next time. The place was very clean, nice, and had an open layout. They offered games to play and merchandise to remember them by. We will be back. read more

We had a wonderful time on Friday night the only thing they were missing was live music and food. Great place and the beer was good.

The staff are amazing and well they are pet friendly so this is our jam!!! I am a sour beer fan and love the ones they offer! It's just a great atmosphere and we love it here! Go check them out! read more

Lively Beerworks - Newest sour! - Breweries Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

My new favorite brewery in town. This place follows a lot of the newer brewery design: it's very minimalist with a simple bar and simple tables. It's very clean and comfortable too. The taps are rotating so you have great variety at Lively. They do some interesting beers too, last time I was there (2 days ago) they had a funnel cake cream ale that was very unique. For the fall/winter they've added a few stouts that are also outstanding. Their Mexican Lager is a classic, as are their IPA brews. Lively, like a lot of breweries, will work with local restaurants to have trucks or other food for order while you are hanging out. And, it's always good stuff, no random sub sandwiches or just a huge basket of fried chicken. The available cuisine is diverse and good quality. OKC has gone through a brewing renaissance in the last several years. We have a ton of new breweries and a lot are around the downtown area. These new places have some good to great beer options. What sets Lively apart is the quality, diversity of brews, the knowledge of the staff, and the regulars. I don't go near often as a lot of regulars, and I am already starting to recognize many faces after several visits. When you have that kind of loyalty so quickly, it speaks volumes. Check this place out, I bet you'll be back. read more

Such a fun winery!!! Clean, great service and they have food on Saturdays which is so yummy! And they have Rhino pretzels which are the bomb! read more

Great place to grab a drink! Friendly, open, inviting, bright atmosphere. Lots of great beers on tap. The cream ale with tangerine was BY FAR my favorite. It was like your favorite creamsicle as a kid, now in liquid form with alcohol. What's better than that? Bartender was kind and quick. She also seemed to know some of the local customers, like she really cared about them. And that's always the type of place you want to be. read more

This was our last stop of 4 breweries and we left very confused. While I can appreciate the minimalist aesthetic, the decor, logo, furniture, swag- all feel more like you're in a waiting room at a new age spa than a brewery. I think it's great that there's a changing table in the restroom, the whole flamingo/macrame plant vibe had me scratching my head. I wish I could say that the beer made up for it, but they just weren't good. Yeah, taste is subjective, but as people who go brewery hopping whenever we travel, we can say with some conviction that the flavor profiles were off putting. read more

Lively Beerworks - Restroom - Breweries Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Lively's taproom is a newcomer in the neighborhood to the OKC craft beer scene. Their flagship IPA and lager are solid beers, so I was excited to see them open a taproom. I also really enjoyed the "Hell Ale" when I visited, while I thought their Imperial IPA was a bit too bitter for my tastes, but that's just me. The lovely lady serving us was so kind and friendly! They provided some complimentary goldfish to snack on and a few brewery pins - which I collect! -, but I found the taproom itself to be a bit lacking. White walls, although surrounded with ambient natural light, gave it a bit of a sterilized feel. There were also a pair of lounge seats right by the door, which I thought was a bit odd. I hope that they start incorporating some more decoration into the space. I can see huge possibility for getting some local art into the space since they're so adjacent to the arts district! read more

We go to Lively Beerworks nearly every week for Trivia Night. We hang out with friends and answer trivia questions. Typically, we are in the middle, although we have been second or third several times. They have made some changes lately - the artwork on the walls change, the building has been repainted, they stopped serving food from a nearby restaurant, and the bartender is different. They also do Pizza Mondays and have a boozy slushy machine. I wish they would just serve food. They are losing so much money by having people bring in their own meals. They did try, I guess, but $8 for a little plastic container of cheese cubes and sliced pita doesn't cut it. I can keep getting take out or bringing a salad. Lol! We miss the guy bartender, though... read more

In my humble opinion the best beer in OKC. Then again I come from the old school, where we drove to Texas for decent beer on the weekends instead of having to drink 3.2 I would highly recommend the grapefruit IPA, and keep an eye out for food trucks or pop up kitchens. The staff and owners are outstanding and understand a brewery's true place in the community. It's a family friendly establishment! read more

I love the vibe here at Lively! All of the indoor plants are lovely and really add to the aesthetic of the taproom. They have a great beer selection and friendly staff as well. They also have an array of games to choose from if you feel like playing while enjoying your drinks. It's also dog friendly if you're into that. The patio is nice too. Great job all around at Lively! read more

Loved their beers! Tried several and my favorites were the Passion Fruit Tart and the NBD IPA. Dog and kid friendly, big outdoor patio & big screen TV. Friendly service read more

ANOTHER Great New Downtown OKC Tap Room .... Sought this place out after dealing with a Grumpy couple behind the bar & an un-inviting atmosphere @ StoneCloud's tap room (feel free to see the details in that review) On to what we found @ Lively Beerworks !!! Great, clever & creative beers served up by some of the most fun bar tenders we found in downtown OKC all night. They've got some crazy combinations, but everyone liked what they tried, we will be adding this one to the rotation. read more

The brews are really unique and outstanding. I thought the grapefruit IPA was a special blend and top notch. COVID-protocol wise. The tables are plenty spaced out and the outdoor area is lovely. People were pretty good about wearing masks when not seated. The interior is clean, simple and really attractive for a brewery. You can tell that they put a lot of thought into the design. Will definitely be back soon. read more

Loved it! Our beertender was friendly & knowledgeable about what was on tap and the "beer scene" in general. We enjoyed the simple yet inviting decor, as well as all of the brews that we sampled! Plenty of seating and a small patio as well. It's a bit off the beaten path, but easy to find and plenty of parking right by the building. My son loved the logo and bought a hat! read more

Love the atmosphere, a great-looking place with lots of seating and an outdoor area. I have been in here a few times, and every employee I talked to was very passionate about the beer they make, and anxious to let me try their beers and see what's so great about them. There is A LOT that is great about them. All the brews I tried were well-made, balanced, and a lot of fun, including their more "experimental" offerings. Highly recommend you go here and see what they are all about! read more

The beer and vibes are great! The service is fast. The tacos (when they are there) are amazing! Love this spot!

Lively was the 2nd of 5 breweries that me and my buddies visited. The atmosphere stood out as a relaxing place to enjoy a beer. Not too much to distract from the Beers which were really good. The IPA was easy drinking with a great flavor profile. I would have stayed lander but my buddies wanted to hit a few more breweries. I'll be back to the tap room. Super chill and great beer. read more

The beer at Lively is excellent, creative and somehow getting better & better. Lots of styles, but nothing is half assed. Everything tastes like it was made with thought and intention. OKC's brewery scene is amazingly completive & Lively is amongst the best in the city. Great ambiance with super clean lines & a great vibe. Staff is excellent and knowledgeable. Small pours available for anything on tap which makes it super fun and easy to try a bunch of there stuff. Outdoor seating available. No food, but bring/order in if so inclined. Drink local! read more

They suggested the dry stout with the raspberry and it was heaven! Tasted like chocolate covered strawberry. Yum! Can't wait to go back!

Great beer selection, friendly staff, nice atmosphere. I can see this being a regular place.

Great Craft Beer, Awesome Patio & friendly staff. Many different beer options as well.

Anything but Lively...seemed like we were lost in a library with no vibe for a Saturday. Beers were marginal and they left a staff member alone on her first day with seemingly minimal training. The pop tacos were the bright spot! read more

Great beers and a great atmosphere. Thank you for being open on Labor Day! I highly recommend. read more

Finally got to check out Lively! I love that it's nestled into a part of OKC that will continue to grow, and bridges the gap between Scissortail and the Farmers Market districts. I'm sure this hidden gem will continue to gain momentum. We sat on the patio on a lovely Saturday afternoon and enjoyed a couple rounds of beer. The space is open and inviting; plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. They had a Filipino food truck which was a nice lunchtime treat. The beer itself was great! I love when breweries offer a good variety. Lively had about 15 beers on tap, ranging from summertime lagers and IPAs to richer stouts and Belgian strong ales. I hope they rotate often because I love coming back to a brewery and finding something new to try! And I *will* be back! read more

My son likes the selection of beers at this place, so I wanted to purchase a gift card for his birthday. Their response to my request was prompt and buying the card was a pleasant transaction. If their beers are as good as their customer service, this should be a first class establishment to visit! read more

Great kind , knowledgeable staff. Great beer. Convenient location on the okc Boulevard. Appreciate the beautiful art in their walls by greet local artists. read more

My husband and I decided to try out Lively Beerworks one Saturday afternoon. I had tried their beer at a restaurant pre-Covid and decided to give the brewery a try. Walking in the brewery is styled in a minimalist motif. We sat at the counter and were happy to see a variety of different styles. I am always the adventurous type with my beer selection, so I decide to dive in and try the recommendation of the staff. The beer I selected was very tasty and my husband agreed that his beer was a good choice. The staff was very knowledgeable. This is one of my top 3 breweries in OKC. It should be on any serious beer lover's stops of breweries in the area. The only reason I did not give the brewery 5 stars is the atmosphere. The building's minimal vibe not very inviting and has a sterile feel, the staff does make up for that with their warm personalities. read more

We're new in town! Stumbled on this cute brewery. The Tangerine Cream Ale was delicious. I was happy to see a pup in the lap of a customer. I'm always looking for places that are pet friendly! The tap room was clean and bright. Great vibes, kind services, and good beer. read more

Lively Beerworks - Tried the Tangerine Cream Ale and the Amber Lager . - Breweries Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

By far my most favorite brewery in OKC. The IPA is hands down my favorite IPA. Incredibly smooth & so much flavor. I love the minimalist atmosphere with room for rotating local artists and THE PLANTS the bathrooms (wallpaper & decor) are gorgeous & kid friendly. Alena, our bartender is always so friendly, personable, & fun to chat with. Prices are on point & affordable. We love having this as a stop during our day dates. Highly recommend! read more

Lively Beerworks - Best. IPA. Ever. and the raspberry ale is pretty delicious too! - Breweries Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Lively Beerworks is my go to brewery for after work on Friday afternoons. It has become a place to end the week on a high note and to enjoy some of the best craft beer in the industry. The taproom atmosphere is absolutely gorgeous and bright. The beertenders and staff are welcoming, engaging, and always make the experience a great one. I really appreciate the diversity of their menu at all times. I love that they run a recurrent Lively Lab Series of experimental brews and one offs. This is really a huge element that keeps things exciting and very much lively (pun intended). Overall, I highly recommend; all of their beers are stellar! read more

Excellent brewery. My goto is the Lively IPA. The grapefruit IPA is also delicious. Great place to visit while in OKC.

Felt like I was in a library - there were 15ish people enjoying drinks when I walked in but everyone was whispering - bizarre, never experienced that at a brewery before. Tried 8 beers, none stood out as above average, wouldn't go back and probably wouldn't recommend based on atmosphere and quality of drinks. read more
