Sidecar IPA
Rob B.

We stopped in the other night to try their beers and it was packed with a bunch of college kids acting wild. lol I mean, hey that's cool but that's not a real brewery vibe. That's a bar vibe and that's not for me tbh. I liked this place in general with the exception of that. The beers we ordered were good but the server had a problem hearing us due to the loud music plus the servers on the night we went didn't go out of their way to smile or welcome us when we sat down on the stools. It took both of them a good five minutes to acknowledge us. I was honestly about to leave considering they both walked past us three times and didn't say a word. We ordered: Sidecar IPA 8/10 Weekender Seltzer Pink Lemonade 7/10 I'd like this place if a DJ wasn't blasting music and the people weren't frolicking around like wild animals that were just let out of their cages for the first time. I'd say do all of that bs after 10 pm, not at 8 pm on a Thursday. I wanted to come here and talk and enjoy my beers but that didn't happen. I probably won't be back, but good luck.

Didn't love this spot. The beer was fair at best and the brewery itself was dimly lit and really didn't have the atmosphere I expected. I had hoped to be there for a bit but it was sort of depressing when I was there. Also one the the benches was unattached and when a nearby guest sat down the bench went flying like a see saw. That was the most amazing part of the visits. Also, I get it's the city but $10 for a below average beer is a lot.

Great location right on Broad St. IDT Parking garage behind it on Atlantic Ave and the light-rail goes right past the front door. Cool, friendly beer-tenders. Nice selection of various styles of beer. They also had a flavored alcoholic seltzer (mango-strawberry) the night I went. Prices are what most craft breweries are getting. MY favorite was the Trainwreck NEIPA. The Ironbound extra pale ale was good as was the Oak Island porter ( here with nitrous gas added which adds a smoothness to a beer. Tasting room was big enough with plenty of nooks with chairs, ledges or tales to drink or bring food in. A large separate room had a ping pong table with corn-hole games. I also liked the wall art that was for sale hanging around the place. Great place to stop before an event at the Prudential Center too

Newark really needed a nice, new brewery, where people could hang out in a chill, relaxed environment. It is right in the downtown area, near the Newark Museum. Their beers are fun and approachable. They have a relatively large formerly industrial space where people can relax off on their own or sit at the bar and socialize. I found the people there to be very down-to-earth and friendly. Everyone asked me to come back soon.

Wonderful atmosphere and even better robust selection of beers. Local love to Newark for sure! The bartender was extra warm and accommodating and the space is really good for meet ups and events. Come through!

If you're a fan of craft beer, you gotta try Newark Local Beer! The atmosphere was lively and the selection of beers was impressive. Attended a Yelp event yesterday and what a vibe it was! The vendors were knowledgeable and friendly, and the food options were delicious. The event was well-organized and easy to navigate.

My said I got you.  Looking to happy right now.  Great service great people.

Food. Drinks shit if you like your BEER this is the place to be. Customer service was GREaT. Ambiance to lay back. All they missing are TV's .

Switch Failure (Sour)
Lori R.

Super cool brewery right in downtown Newark! Came by with some friends for some beers and board games. I drank their sour ("Switch Failure") beer and it was really tasty! It was tart and fruity and everything I love in a sour. You also have the option to taste the beer before buying, but you could also do a flight to try out several beers. The brewery is really spacious, and has some board games, a foosball table, table tennis, and a huge projector to watch tv on the wall. All in all, this is a really cool spot in Newark, and I am very excited to come back and try more of their beers and enjoy the good vibes!

"Fantasy" West Coast IPA

Great selection of beer- the ppl really know what they're doing there. Huge space with lots of room for larger crowds. Board games, card games, ping pong, cornhole, big screen tvs. Short walk from many nearby hot spots like NJPAC. Really friendly crew working the place. Beer I would definitely go back for.

I ordered a couple of their brews but this Kolsch spoke to me. It has the lightness of a pilsner but richness of an ale. Perfect balance.

If you're into darker beer, I recommend the oak island porter, which has nice chocolate notes and goes down smooth.

Also there is a "host" that was supposed to be at each winery. This one person was with multiple groups, very nice but we had to keep asking what the plan was. We had no one go over the wines, maybe briefly at the second winery. At the cider place had the guy that worked there go over it in under 60 seconds. Its not the people working, its the organizer. This was a family trip celebrating and it was just embaressing. Poor execution, DO NOT RECOMMEND. The pictures of happy groups/people are absolutely cherry picked to make the experience seem more than it actually is.

I can't say enough good things about this entire experience. The tour we wanted was sold out,…read morebummer. Sent a message to see what was recommended as far as the availability of a wait list or moving tickets from walking to bus tour would be easy. Scott himself responded, almost immediately with his recommendations. Purchased the walking tour tickets, put ourselves on the wait list for the bus tour and watched emails like a hawk for the few days before our scheduled date. The pizza tour Gods smiled on us and the wait list opened up. I called to get our tickets moved and talked to Scott who handled the whole transfer quickly for me because once the wait list opens up it opens up for everyone on it. He was very helpful in scoring those seats for us and understood the urgency. LOL. That's ALL before we even got to our first meeting place. We met the tour and Scott at Keste in the Financial District. I had read in my research that the tour stops aren't planned ahead and I was skeptical, but you could see him figuring it out as he figured out his group for the day. One of the attendees had taken the tour a year prior, they played a game of guess the spot so he didn't repeat stops for her and the very large group of family that she brought with her on this tour. There was one request for a spot in Brooklyn but he couldn't make it happen due to their hours, not that he wouldn't have moved heaven and earth if he could have. We had a smaller than usual tour group because of timing and a LI RR strike and you could just see that this opened up other options for places to go. After Keste we were able to do two stops in the Bronx, one in East Harlem. There was even an ice cream, water ice store next door to the last pizzeria. So much thought went into this route. Scott was able to take this group to places he hadn't been to in quite some time due to the distance and size of the group. Back to Keste-- what tour guide takes his entire group and takes over the kitchen, helping himself to dough balls and creating pies as he discussed pizza history?? We saw the kitchen and oven in each establishment and each shop was welcoming and friendly. Scott is a wealth of knowledge and enjoyed sharing his story and the story of all of the stops we visited. Pizza is an absolute passion project for him. Highly recommend!

Five stars for Scott's Pizza Tours, and that's only because six is not an option Yelp provides…read more Imagine a man who has taken the idea of pizza, which most people treat as a thing you fold in half on a street corner, and decided it deserves a Rosetta Stone. That man is Scott. We met him at Keste in the Financial District, and before he said much of anything, I noticed something unusual. Several of the people on our tour had done it before. They were back for more. That seemed as telling as anything else. People do not go on vacation and repeat the same bus ride unless something extraordinary is waiting for them on the other end. Scott does not work from a script. He looks at the group, he looks at the day, and then he consults the secret weather system in his head. Out came our route. Four stops, starting at our meeting point in Manhattan's Financial District and three more scattered like wayward toppings on the city map. Queens. The Bronx. Harlem. Lucky us. Scott told us that combination hardly ever happens. To him it was chance. To the rest of us it was magic. The stops themselves were like chapters in a book. At Keste we learned about the precision of Neapolitan tradition. At Patsy's in Harlem we felt the weight of history, coal ovens burning with the same stubbornness they have for generations. At Mario's on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx, an owner with stories longer than the line outside the door talked to us like we were old friends. At Philomena's in Queens, Scott was so at home that he even took a customer's order when the restaurant was swamped by our presence. Every stop had its secrets revealed. Oven temperatures. Dough hydration percentages. Family feuds. Bake times. Flour suppliers. How long a pizza can sit before the soul leaks out of it. Scott called over owners, opened kitchen doors, and invited us to peer inside the fiery mouths of the ovens like pilgrims gazing at sacred relics. Scott himself is difficult to explain without sounding untrustworthy. He is a human encyclopedia with a perfectly tuned sense of joy. He has a Rolodex in his brain that seems to contain the phone number of every pizza maker on earth. I mentioned Hamilton and he talks about Papa's and DeLorenzo's as if we were neighbors. Others mentioned Seattle and Las Vegas, and he told them where to eat, who to meet, and when to go. He casually suggested lowering the water percentage from 66 to 63 for another guest's home pizza dough, as if adjusting the tides. Then he mentioned that after our tour he would be home making 16 doughs for his guides, who were planning to test a new oven. I believed him. He also radiates decency. He runs Slice Out Hunger, a nonprofit that takes the love of pizza and turns it into meals for people who need them most. It is good to know a person can devote their life to melted cheese and still be entirely serious about kindness. This tour filled us with more than pizza. It gave us a sense of belonging. Everyone, from my ten year old to a pizza shop owner who happened to be along for the ride, was entertained and educated and full. Scott's Pizza Tours is not just about pizza, although the pizza is wonderful. It is about a man who has built a community, and who invites strangers to step inside it for a few hours. If you are a casual eater, a home chef, or someone who has already built your own pizzeria, this is for you. Five stars. The highest recommendation.

TEP deserves more than 5 stars for the amazing start to finish service we experienced on our 7 day…read moreadventure to Peru to hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. From the time we signed up, to the time we boarded the plane to return home, TEP took care of every detail. We commented amongst ourselves that we felt like kids on vacation with our parents, as we didn't have to worry about any of the details - just show up and follow Neptali (our guide). From airport pickup in Cusco in luxury Mercedes vans where we were promptly served Coca tea to help with the altitude acclimation, to group dinners at amazing Peruvian restaurants, to historical tours and education on the history of the Inca - everything was covered and taken care of for us. And that was all before the amazing trek along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu! Of course the trek itself was the highlight of the trip, and although it was extremely challenging for us, TEP's unbelievable attention to detail did not fail us on the trail. With nearly a 2:1 porter to trekker ration, our every need was met on the trail. We dined like kings every meal, and were consistently amazed with the quality (and nutritional appropriateness) of the food our chef and sous chef were able to put out with minimal kitchen conveniences. The thing I felt was most special about TEP's approach to this trip was the focus on gaining a cultural and historical appreciation for what we were experiencing. Every step along the way, we learned about the native people of Peru, the Inca civilization, the many ruins we came across, the vegetation we saw and how it was and is used, and the history of modern Peru. It was the trip of a lifetime, and have the help of The Explorer's Passage made it so much more enjoyable, and so much more memorable. The value of what they provide is amazing for the cost....rather, for the investment. I highly recommend them!

I did the Carroll Gardens tour, aka Cool Down on Court Street, on Sat July 28 with two friends who had a gift certificate. Our first stop was Milk bar, which I had been to before, but I was excited to try other things I hadn't tasted yet. All we were given was a sample size dollop of cereal milk ice cream, served in those small taste tester cups you get at a fro yo place. That was it. Our second stop appeared to be a local Italian deli, but I can't say for sure because we weren't taken inside. As we stood outside on the sidewalk, Adrienne pulled a container of soppressata out of a paper bag that she had been carrying and passed it around for us to try. She said it was from the same deli, but who knew if that was true? It became very clear at this point in the tour that she was being incredibly cheap, and that we were going to get the tiniest sample portion at each stop. Not to mention that soppressata is supposed to be stored in a refrigerator. Given that it was a hot summer day, Adrienne created a potential food safety concern by not storing it properly. Who knows how old it was?? I hope no one got sick! The next stop was at a pastry shop, where we had a pastry that was like a cross between a bagel and a biali. For a group of 8 people, she bought 2 of these and cut them into four pieces, so that each portion size was a few bites. She did the same thing at the sandwich shop. By the end of the tour, we were all still hungry. At our last stop, a sit down restaurant, we asked Adrienne if we could order more food because we were still hungry, and she told us that she was ordering dessert and that we'd be fine. We each got half of a dessert, a small piece of chocolate cake that was split into two. The tour was advertised as 2.5 hours, yet we arrived at the last stop only 1.5 hours in and were expected to sit at the restaurant for the last hour. The little amount of food we received at each stop did not nearly justify the $50 cost for the tour, so PLEASE find another tour - there are great ones in NYC for the same price where you don't leave hungry and dissatisfied at the end. By the way, I emailed Adrienne to explain my dissatisfaction and to ask her for a 50% refund, and she was most unprofessional in her response. So here I am writing my first Yelp review instead. I suspect the positive reviews that are on here are written by her family and friends (indeed her mother wrote the first one, as she says herself). Adrienne's dad was on the tour with us, along with another guy that was clearly a friend, so take that as you will. Whatever you do, avoid this tour!!!

The trip goes by relatively smooth. The only problem I had was with the bus capacity. They had overbooked the bus by at least 8 or so folks.

The restroom door did not latch properly and kept slamming loudly with the motion of the bus. This issue was present on the ride to Belleayre as well, though it was more tolerable at the time. However, on the three-hour return trip--after a long day of skiing--it became unbearable, as many passengers were trying to rest and the constant banging made it impossible to sleep. I notified a staff member, who came to the back and pulled out a dirty rope from under the last-row corner seat to tie the door shut. While this reduced the noise slightly, the rope was loose and visibly dirty. Every time someone used the restroom, they removed the rope and left it on the floor, so the door would start slamming again. I had to repeatedly get up, retrieve the rope from under the seat, and secure the door myself. This happened multiple times, and we didn't get any rest the entire ride back. The fact that a rope was being used suggests this is not a new issue. The restroom also had no water or hand sanitizer available. For a three-hour bus ride, basic maintenance and functional facilities should be standard. Unfortunately, this experience makes us unlikely to use this service again.
