    Get here early, in nice weather, if you want a seat outside along the Shawsheen river and/or convenient parking. The main lot is small, and they do have spaces reserved exclusively for Oak & Iron, but there's not enough of them. If there's no tables outside, there's still plenty of space inside, particularly if you're here with a larger group. Beers are reasonably priced, with something for everyone, and flights are available. My coffee stout had a distinct flavor and a really nice color to it. Service is quick and friendly, including staff walking around outside checking on you. This afternoon there was a food truck, Souped Up Food. We didn't order anything from them, but there was a menu of their products on each table (great variety of options), and many happy customers eating their products - definitely someplace to look up for a separate review. Oak & Iron is a bit of a walk from downtown Andover, but it's very convenient from the train station.

    Excellent patio tables with plenty of space and a beer with a view.

    A cozy riverbend pub and patio, perfect for a creative brew and a very light nosh. Interior is one large, open space of delightful exposed brick and an industrial chic vibe. A smattering of keg-barrel tables, and some standing-around-drinking-your-beer room near the bar itself. Order beers and small snacks at the register. The snacks are a bit of an afterthought, so don't come hungry. The cheese plate for 2 is basically a tastier Lunchable, and you may want to order your own if you like a decent bite-to-sip ratio. Several pub tables outside with keg-barrel umbrella stands on a pebbled patio, nicely distanced so you have your own space to chat by the charming river view. We visited on a very hot, mid-summer Sunday, grateful for the large and necessary umbrellas. Limited off-street parking lot. Friendly staff. Good variety of very nice beers, which is ultimately why you are here.

    Beautiful riverside view, hometown brewery atmosphere, nice slate of crafty hops-infused concoctions.  This is New England

    Oak & Iron is worth working around the limited hours and small parking lot. The slate of fresh, local ales, porters, lagers and more come as a hidden gem in Andover. With tanks in the tasting room and the Brewmaster plying his trade with a smile on his face, Oak & Iron is the real deal! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Don't come for the food--either food truck or light snacks available--you can Grub Hub or Door Dash. I'll be back for the beer!

    Pretzels!

    Great beer, really enjoyed the Belgian dubbel. The pretzels are incredible, best I've had. The space is nice and open inside, with a riverside patio outside. Looking forward to visiting when spring comes!

    Loved this cute place. Staff was so nice and they have small apps which is always great in a brewery. Great atmosphere

    I always have the best time at Oak and Iron. I love their beers and the variety they have on tap. The indoor brewery space is spacious and fun, and they have a heated tent outside that you can bring pets to. I really loved their strawberry wheat beer that they made for valentines. We will definitely be back

    Outside...old mill with a river/brook running next to it.

    Solid spot. I don't live local enough (almost two hours away) to go here often, but if I did, I'm sure we would stop in periodically. Some good brews on tap (with a couple standouts), some nice snacks, fun location, new and clean space (including the bathroom), safe atmosphere, and friendly staff. Fun little side trip if you're coming to the area for other reasons (example...Lord Hobo isn't far away), and want a brewery with a small town, more personal feel.

    View from an outside table.

    Fantastic beer. WOW!! Great people working here. Incredible views along the river. A must go to when in area.

    Great craft brews! Staff is very well informed on the beers. Rustic feel, but classic oak and iron feel!

I first visited these guys when they were operating out of a small barn, and seeing the evolution to this 53,000 sq ft, $18.5M facility is seriously impressive. They follow a "direct-to-consumer" model -- selling everything right out the front door -- and they've mastered it. I've been here many times over the years and go whenever I have the opportunity, which says everything. Tried some of their standout beers -- King Julius is the gold standard, consistently ranked among the best beers in the world. Their flagship Julius is just as impressive, with massive notes of mango and peach -- incredibly well balanced and executed. There are usually food trucks on site, which adds to the experience -- you can enjoy a fresh pour while picking up your take-home haul. Fun fact: On BeerAdvocate's all-time Top 250 list, Tree House often has 30+ beers featured, something almost no other brewery can match. Overall, some of the best beers anywhere -- truly unparalleled and absolutely worth the visit. Saluti.

Service: Since it was so busy, the pizzas were a bit of a wait. But it was worth it. Ambiance: A lot of kids, families, very busy. But bathrooms were clean and it was a fun place to have my friend's birthday at.

Interesting local beer on tap and other local sourced drinks. The food however, was disappointing. Chicken and Waffles: waffles were incredibly sweet. Like dessert sweet. Made worse by hot honey topping and a sweet breading on the chicken. First bites were good but you get over sweeted pretty quick. OG chicken sandwich was so, so, dry. Same very sweet fried chicken, dry slaw that didn't add any flavor, a few pickles that helped a bit, but no real flavor. The chicken (on the waffles too) was hammered...fried till super dry. Comes with a side of potato chips but they weren't hot or seasoned. The big pretzel app was good. Beer cheese was ok, honey mustard was better. Sorry we didn't enjoy ourselves more. Nice people and very good service.
