Checked out this brewery last night while in town to see Avril Lavigne. From the moment Tucker came up to us at the bar, we knew we would be in good hands. Her personality definitely shows she loves what she does and her knowledge about their beer is phenomenal. We also ordered some food. While I wished it was a little hotter, the chicken parm sandwich was delicious. Would definitely go here again. read more

Excellent food! Seems like a local favorite- we had a big group, lots of variety in the menu would absolutely eat here again.

It's been a. Dreary vacation in Maine this week, raining everyday, but Mason's Brewing was a bright spot! The drinks and food were well prepared and fabulous! The staff was very friendly. We loved the decor and the fact that dogs were welcome , and the prices and were as expected. A++ read more

First time visitors. Typically we are at Timber or Sea Dogs; this was a great change and we were not disappointed. Would have loved to see pan seared scallops or lobster roll or fish taco or stuffed haddock. Favorite was the chocolate cake! Thanks Alex for a wonderful visit. Best of luck as you prepare for your first child!! read more

We had this place on our short list when in the Bangor area. One of the 2 stars is for the location along this river and the cool interior. The last two times we've been there we haven't felt we got our money's worth. We went last night on a Sunday after trail hiking in Acadia. We ordered the 40's Chopped burger, wings, and tuna wontons. The other star were for the dry rub wings which were very good and a decent number for the price. The tuna wontons were very small for $16. A few tiny pieces of tuna chopped up and laid out on 3 wonton chips. Nope. The 40's thing was basically a $16 grilled cheese sandwich with some crumbles of beef in it. Their FB page shows them displaying these large juicy burgers being held by happy people. Ours was definitely not a 8 oz smash burger. It was a 3 oz burger "Smashed" into the diameter of an 8 oz burger. That was a rip off. In all, it was a $45 meal that costed $75 after tip. We went home and had to warm up some leftovers to fill us up. The final part that annoyed me the most was I was angry with myself for leaving the bartender a 15% tip, which I did out of common courtesy. She certainly did not deserve it. I think she spoke to us twice. The first was when we walked in and she blurted out "Do you want menus?", which I think is crummy bartender talk for "Hello" because that's all we got. She never smiled, never asked us if the food she didn't serve us was ok, and she didn't say goodnight, thanks or anything. The only other time she said anything was to ask my wife if she wanted another beer. I've had better service at the Division of Motor Vehicles. We wanted to make it work for us, as there are so few choices in that neck of the woods, but we left annoyed and probably won't go back. I still don't know if I was bothered more by the lack of food, or for leaving the girl behind the bar $10 for treating us like we were the last thing on her mind. read more

Great food! Appetizers and entrees were fantastic. Losing one star because the wait for our food to come was over an hour

Visited with the family while vacationing in July. It took a while to be greeted by a host. Once seated, Good service, very good food, beer selection and wine. nice outdoor ambiance right on the Penobscot river. Would go back if in town. A "very good" rating. Recommended!!! read more

I've visited twice. Had the fried tofu and bahnmi lobster roll the first time, which were both fine but nothing to write home about. But had a takeout chicken parm pizza today that was so salty it was inedible (and I like a fair bit of salt in my food, so if I'm saying it was too salty, that really is saying something). I think they literally sprinkled a bunch salt on it after making it, since I could find some large salt bits on it; I don't understand why they would do this. I couldn't eat more than a slice. Hoping it was a one-off, but won't be ordering from them again after this. read more

10/10 would highly recommend Masons for dining anytime of day. The waitstaff is kind and helpful, the atmosphere is comfortable and laid-back and the food is AMAZING! **dogs are welcome on the patio! Our most recent trip was during brunch and I had the breakfast pizza and mimosa flight. It was so good!! And you can never go wrong with one of their burgers:) read more

Great beer! We are in town for the week and have been in twice. Blueberry cream beer is top notch. It is not fruity like you would expect, it's much more earthy in taste, very well rounded brew. We also had dinner one night snd it was pumped up, yummy bar/grill food. They do have an outside area that welcomes dogs. You can have a beer with your furry best friend and watch the boats sail by on the Penoby read more

We had an event in the private room to remember a loved one with friends and family. The food and service was excellent. The views of the river are great. The whole team was helpful and super responsive. Highly recommend this place for great beer and food. read more

Great brewery. Loved the outdoor space. Service was friendly and there was a great selection of brews. The descriptions on the menu were also really helpful, as were the servers suggestions. I really liked the original IPA , and the Organic cider was fantastic and refreshing! Didn't order food here, but it looked pretty good! read more

Food was great. Huge beer selection, obviously. Service was a bit slow but overall great.

Excellent! Great space. Great food. Great beer. Started with the pretzel spread. Then, our table had an assortment of wings, burgers and pizza. All delicious. The pizza however, was my favorite. This was a great, laid back, family friendly space, read more

The service was good and the food was delicious. I like that we can bring our dog to the outside patio. read more

Excellent food! Really enjoyed the Boursin Mushrooms side, there was a lot of them, they had great flavors. Ahi tuna salad was so good! Love the pepita seeds and seaweed salad, only wish there was more. Dry rub wings were a success! Flavorful with a bit of a kick but not enough to scare. Mason's philly sandwich was a disappointment though, not much meat, was kinda soggy, peppers had a strange taste to them. Happy the to go containers and compostable kind, however I'm disappointed with the utensils they added to my bag without asking. They put in 4 packs, all going to waste. read more

Went to Mason's late after arriving at our Airbnb in Maine. Even though we stayed until just past closing to finish our meals, the waitress and staff were very friendly and helpful and did not rush us out at all. Appetizers were the star of the show though, but my main (a salad) was mostly disappointing. Definitely try to cauliflower app! read more

Amazing beer and food. Service is welcoming and overall, terrific. Views and scene is great.

Grabbed brunch @masonsbrewingco yesterday. Always a delight to visit! The servers are super friendly and the atmosphere is so inviting. The space is relatively loud but it's only because everyone is having a lovely time. The biscuits and gravy (pic 1) is an absolute must get! The gravy is sausage based and is so deep with flavor and is the creamiest I've ever had. Eggs were cooked to perfection and the biscuits hiding underneath didn't get too soggy and remained fluffy. The mimosa flight (pic 2) changes weekly and it's always fun to see what the new flavors are. My favorite of all time are the pineapple and the blood orange. Definitely on the stronger side, so be a little wary if you aren't expecting that. Everything is reasonably priced for the amount you're given.

Masons Brewing is one of the cooler spots I've come across in awhile. Quality beer, outside seating near the river with a picturesque view and friendly service make this place a must. Definitely one of the cooler breweries near Bangor this place has it all. Food is good too! Stop down and check it out. I visit many breweries and I was really impressed. They even let you get a mixed four pack of cans for just $13. Can't beat it! read more

We visited Mason's at the end of June. I believe they prefer if you make a reservation, due to COVID, but we were able to walk-in and the wait was minimal. Beautiful view of the water and tables were appropriately distanced. The tofu was may favorite. Not spongy or airy. Crispy on the outside, lightly coated with a sweet/savory sauce and still had the creamy tofu texture that one would expect. read more

Everything was nice. Sat outside and enjoyed a cider and some fries. My waitress was very friendly.

I'm lucky to live within walking distance of Mason's. I've never been disappointed with the food or service here. Plenty of vegetarian offerings, too. Amazing house made veggie burgers, tacos, pizzas, and tasty tasty beer. Lunch on the patio, looking at the river, with a nice breeze, is about as good as it gets. read more

Had a smash burger topped with portobello with truffle aoli which was delicious! The location of this place is absolutely beautiful! Had a good amount of beer selections but the actual taste of the beer was just okay. Sat at the bar since it was super busy, and it took a while to get service but the waitresses were very nice. read more

Omg, the food here is actually wonderful! Came with three people, ordered a pizza, quinoa bowl, fries, and buffalo cauliflower and left with basically 1 meal leftover and three very full bellies. Our waiter was so friendly and prompt and made our experience really great. The Best Damn Pepperoni Pie is actually the very best Pepperoni pizza I've ever had. And I don't love pepperoni pizza.... Sweet potato fries with cinnamon topping was perfection. I want to eat some more right now. We were seated at a picnic table outside and the ambiance was great! I would love to come back again if I'm ever in the area. read more

We visit Mason's whenever we're in the area. We may have even made the 2.5 hour drive just to go there a time or two. It's SO good. GO THERE NOW! read more

We stopped here on our way to Bar Harbor from the Bangor airport and we enjoyed our time! We had a short wait on a Saturday afternoon. While waiting we walked along the river walk out back which was a good way to pass the time. We were seated inside, my husband enjoyed a darker beer and we both thoroughly liked our food. We both got burgers, which were a LOT of food, and very good. Our service was fine, nothing spectacular, the restaurant was full - everyone from couples to families to larger groups. We had an all around good experience. read more

We've enjoyed Masons for years since they opened - consistently good food, one of a very few great locations in the Bangor area and the best beer in the area. We often send visiting family, friends and work colleagues here - the best burgers, pizza and beer in the area, we say. Unfortunately we are concerned the food quality has diminished considerably as of late: a month ago we got a pizza that was nearly raw in the middle - likely because it had 2 pounds of pepperoni on it...a couple of weeks later another pizza that was not much better (a bad Truffle Pig? Never before) along with a cucumber caesar that involved completely under ripe and nearly inedible tomatoes....but today was just so unfortunate that I signed up for a Yelp account to write a review. How can you charge $16 for breakfast hash that bad? Cold deep-fried potatoes quickly mixed with effectively raw white onion and a small amount of sausage a hash does not make... with 2 overcooked "over easy" eggs? Shame. I never thought I would say that Dysarts is better than Mason's, but I said this exact thing to my wife today. Sure, maybe brunch is a challenge for a brewery - man did we have FANTASTIC brunch here more than once. Cinnamon toast crunch white russian with an eggs benedict pizza? Indeed....alas that was probably 5 years ago....how times have changed. I really miss Fiddlehead but perhaps the Masons of old even more (maybe the good cooks bailed when they took the flags down from over the bar...) read more

Masons is my favorite brewery in all of Bangor area. Not only do they have their own line of brews, but their food is also outstanding! You cannot go wrong with a single item from their menu. All of their appetizers are super tasty! My favorite is probably the Buffalo cauliflower! Their pizzas are interesting and super flavorful. And any of their burgers/ sandwiches hit the spot. Their outdoor seating area is also great, you have a beautiful view of the river & their patio is dog friendly! read more

This is a great micropub, having just what you would expect: great beers, great burgers, great riverside view. My daughter is vegetarian, and she really liked the veggie burger.

Fantastic service - pleasant, attentive. A great selection of beers on tap (can also do growlers and buy cams to go). Creative menu. Pizza was fantastic, crisp crust. All sorts of peeps, from younger partiers to fold with grey hair to parents with babies - all getting along. Really enjoyed it. read more

Great lunch spot! It's a cute brewery/ restaurant that has really good food, lots of beer and a nice wait staff. I have really enjoyed their sandwiches and pizza over the years, but I will admit that the cheese pizza isn't as good - toppings are a must! My other complaint is that they are BUSY, which is great to see but the entrance way is so jam packed that it's a bit uncomfortable/ awkward. I would recommend getting there right when they open! read more

Second visit when returning to the area. Food and beer were just as good as the first time and service was great. Will go back each time we visit Bangor. read more

Pretzel spread and the hunter pizza were amazing! Everytime we come here we are not disappointed, one of our favorite places for dinner.

Delicious! Top notch beer and amazing food in a great setting along the river. A must visit when in town

The service is better than the food and river views and I LOVE the food. One of my favorites is the lemonade with fresh blackberry puree and I always ask for a minuscule amount of sugar. How many places do you know that will do that? Every server has been super friendly and actually seems to enjoy their job. I appreciate that. read more

Great local place. Good food, beer, and service. Noticed that there were no recent menu photos so took the opportunity to add some as of April 2023 read more

Dining on the back patio was lovely. The river is beautiful. The staff was very friendly and efficient. The food was decent. We had a wonton- sushi app. It was decent, the wonton was dry, but the topping was pretty good. We had sandwiches, I'll give the food a 6.5-7 out of 10. Only major complaint is the menu. It was 4 separate double sided sheets. I kept sorting through them trying to figure it all out. It would be better to have a regular "book style" menu, with a specials insert. The dark nitro beer is awesome BTW. read more

Super busy place with friendly, bustling staff. We sat outside, which is scenic and lovely. Their food was good, but everything was over-sauced. Great that they have a dog-friendly patio. Portions are HUGE read more
