    Great atmosphere and the food trucks are always amazing here. Some of the brews leave a little to be desired, especially since the prices are higher than the competition. Staff is friendly, and you can bring your dog! Great place overall and they are new so I think they are finding their way as they go through batches. Picture here is Mr Nix Chicken food truck. 10/10 can't go wrong there!'

    Great spot in Lawrenceville to grab a beer. Whether with friends or just need a relaxed spot to work it's great for both. The beer is pretty good and reasonably priced and my favorite part is that they are super dog friendly so I usually get to meet some furry friends. I've never been to one but they also do a lot of social events.

    I stopped in a couple weeks back for some beers with my girlfriend after before heading out for dinner. This is one of my favorite breweries in the city. It has amazingly chill vibes. I love the whole layout of it and the servers are always very friendly and helpful I'll be back again and again. Sláinte!

    Lolev is such a great new brewery! It has an awesome modern feel with white tile, velvet furniture and natural light - pretty different than other breweries around. You order your beer at the bar and then you can sit anywhere. They do hold onto your card if you keep a tab open so don't forget to cash out haha! They currently do not offer flights but the incredibly friendly bartender let us try whichever beers we wanted. They do not have their own food but when I was there, they had a food truck that you could order from & bring it inside to eat! They had a live musician while I was there which made the day really fun. He was great! Overall, I'm really excited about this new brewery (just opened in December) and will definitely be back!

    2.5 I wanted to love this place so badly! I was here on a Saturday evening, and it was just dead inside. The inside is super vibey and spacious, and there's a couple picnic benches outside in front. This spot is about .5 miles down from the other bars in Lawrenceville, so it's a little isolated. I'm not a beer drinker, so I ordered a peach cider. I wouldn't recommend it and couldn't finish it, and I've never met a cider I didn't enjoy. It was bitter and the peach flavor just didn't come through. I'd give this place a second try but would have to find a different beverage!

    Maybe I'm too old for this place, maybe just opening weekend craziness or maybe it's just not my vibe... We love checking out local breweries and make it a point to get to new ones close to opening when we can. We had been out and about and decided to go ahead and stop by Lolev for a drink before heading home. Pulling up we saw the place was jumping for sure. There were several people drinking out on the sidewalk waiting for food from the pizza truck. We headed to the front to head inside. When you walk in the front door you were pretty much in the line for beer. They had just a few beers and a seltzer on, but small tap lists at opening are to be expected. They had a DJ up above the actual bar. The place was pretty busy and there weren't many open seats. After grabbing a drink initially we wandered back into the warehouse space where it was cooler and quieter as we waited for a friend. When he arrived though he had food so we headed inside. We found a small table and scrounged a few open chairs up. Honestly for me the beers could have been the most amazing beers and I still would have had trouble enjoying myself. It was just way too loud in the place. The DJ going loud is more of a party vibe. Then you had groups sitting visiting so everyone was yelling over each other. It definitely isn't the typical brewery vibe. I'm not sure if this is how it will always be or if was just due to it being opening weekend. Among our group everything on the menu was ordered and tried. The seltzer was okay and the best of the bunch, which isn't what you look for from a brewery. I had been excited to see a stout on tap as I do love my stouts. However, it was very disappointing. I understand it can take some time for breweries to fine tune their beers and space so typically will give places at least one more chance. It's just tough in a city with so many great breweries (and two others opening the same weekend) to first catch people's interest and then give them a reason to come back.

    Pretty decent new brewery in Lawrenceville! Came here for a quick nightcap after dinner and it wasn't very busy on a Tuesday night. They have trivia here from 7-9 on Tuesday and the crowd that comes seems pretty fun! I like that they close at 10pm since a lot of breweries tend to close early around here. They have a good amount of seating here too. We tried the IPAs and they weren't bad! Might need to try more kinds from here. I also wish they had more non beer options since it would definitely make this place more fun to hang out at. They really only had hard seltzers and I wasn't a fan of the flavors they had left. They also have food trucks parked outside during dinner hours on specific days of the week. Worth checking out if you like beer and are looking for a new place to hang!

    Scylla Imperial Stout. Balanced between dry and bitter, rich body.

    I must have been feeling cranky when I posted my previous review. This has become a favorite third space in the neighborhood. The beer is delicious and the staff is friendly and welcoming. I really wish that they had a wider variety (mostly IPAs and DIPAs), but they do switch it up every now and then. I get that you gotta sell what people buy. Overall, no hesitation to recommend. Great spot.

    Lolev is new to the neighborhood and I'm so glad they're here! We've been needing a more central brewery in upper Lawrenceville and this is an ideal location. This is a beautiful brewery and the aesthetics are on point. They have an ideal amount of seating including high tops, low tops, and booths. I could see myself working from here, gathering with friends, or stopping by for a beer on my own. The beers they had on tap were an IPA, pale ale, stout and a Chardonnay hopped seltzer to start. I had the IPA and it was balanced, hoppy and fruity. Can't wait to go back. Thanks, Ted, for showing us around.

    I stopped by here earlier today by myself for some afternoon drinks. While I was originally supposed to head out with some coworkers they all cancelled and so I headed to Lolevs on my own. Lolevs Beer is located right on Butler Street in Lawrenceville. The inside of this place feels modern and chic with exposed brick walls and ductwork and then some colored paintings and lights. They have both ample indoor and outdoor seating with an even larger area next door which I believe is theirs. When at a new brewery, I normally go for a flight but Lolev didn't have that as an option. Instead they could do short pours and so I ended up going with three of them: Narada (West Coast IPA), Iroh (Matcha Ale) and the Lupula (IPA). For my first beer I tried the Narada. It had some nice hops up front with a bit of citrus and dank taste before finishing with a hops explosion. Second was the Iroh and the first thing that should be mentioned is that this beer is green in color which seems odd since it's not even close to St Patrick's Day. Right from the start the beer is very matcha forward with the finish tasting of the earthy and grassy flavors I associate with matcha. There is little beer flavor itself to this drink and if I didn't know it was alcoholic, I may have just guessed it was a sparkling matcha. Last but certainly not least was the Lupula which had a smooth start before a big hit of lots of citrus and a finish of hops, although not as strong as the narada finish. Out of the bunch I preferred the Lupula and would order the Narada again as well. The Iroh is exactly as they describe it but you definitely have to love matcha to love it. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. lolev had an interesting vibe to it and I enjoyed their beers.

    Great brewery. They have plenty of space for a big group. They have a nice selection of beer. The vibes are relaxing! You can bring your own food in which is always nice. They are dog friendly! Will be back soon!

Finally made our way there and well, make sure you do not bring young kids. My friend had an 18 month old with us and as she was BUYING a beer from them, the guy who worked there asked if she "could keep the screaming to a minimum." An eighteen month old!!! And Mother's Day is tomorrow, nice. He said that they had to draw a line somewhere and he wasn't kidding. The 18 month old was not running around screaming crying all day. We were outside having the kids play and when my friend was buying a beer he got a bit fussy and was told to keep it to a minimum. Needless to say, we will NOT be coming back. If you have small children, I would not suggest this place. Super disappointing. I've always hyped their beer and place up and now I can't support it. We ended up going to Grist House and it was a WAY better vibe and WAY busier...I wonder why. I should have known when their sign said no dogs allowed.
