    Good spot to study and catch up with friends! Would come again. Wifi connection is really stable. The pastries are good, would suggest the chocolate croissant over the butter croissant. Locally crafted drinks and delectable coffee selections for the morning. Definitely a hidden gem for study dates with friends!

    The food tasted good, but was cooked or reheated unevenly. The coffee tastes great, it's not too potent with caffeine like some Starbucks. Breakfast is an odd time for this place because they are a bar. If I came back, I'd just get the bagel w/cream cheese and a coffee. Mine was decent for $10, but I'd rather save $6. The coffee though is great for $2. I've been here for a beer before. It's like $8 for a 12oz IPA, and it's a great space for friends to converse. Definitely competing with places like The brass tap. This location is great, North Tally is nice.

    Drinks.

    Passed by one night while in town to celebrate a couple of things with some drinks. I am the non-beer drinker of us two, so of course I asked the bartender for a suggestion given my preferences. Opted to try their Crispr Knockout and it indeed knocked it out of the park. I was quite pleased with this drink. It was dry but not overly so. It ran smooth, quenched my thirst, and most of all, considering the weather, it kept me warm. Tallahassee is ridiculously cold this time of year! He decided to join me with the same drink and so we cheered and enjoyed our evening. He also told me that apparently they also serve coffee in the morning, and a very obvious sign behind me confirmed it. I probably would have tried their coffee one morning as this was within walking distance of where I stayed, but I simply didn't have the time. Maybe next time?

    Yes they have spirits too!

    Ology was the last official stop on my recent brewery tour de Florida, and it did not disappoint. This small taproom was everything you could want in a beer joint. They had a few basics on the menu (I loved the vienna lager!) as well as some more out-of-the-box varieties - like the green berlinner weisse I finished the evening with. It was DELISH. The taproom has a cozy vibe, with a slightly-science twist in the decor (thus the "ology"). They also had an impressive selection of house-distilled spirits, and cool schwag too!

    Indescribably Delicious - half pour because it's 11%!

    We had some Ology beers last year at the Tampa Bay Beer Fest last year riiiiight before Covid hit so knew of this brewery along with other Tallahassee breweries. They are what inspired the trip even. Ology has two locations in Tallahassee and there are some slight differences between the two and what they offer. The Midtown location offers their Sour Cellar beers which are bottled beers that process differently than the rest. The other location offers slushies. They both get the same beers but depending on demand may not have the same on tap at the same time. We were told that they are opening a 3rd location soon and that the goal is to have each location offer something a little different from the others. They had 13 options to choose from the tap and several canned options in 4 packs with some that were also offered as singles. I do have say, their beer prices were high. One of the single cans to go was $7.50 alone and without trying it first, we just can't justify it. It may be worth it but it very well may not be. There is nothing worse than buying a beer or a 4 pack of unknown beer on the pricey side it is not being good and disliking it to the point of pouring it out. Unfortunately, that has happened.

    The guy behind the bar was super nice! Gave us some great recommendations based on what our preferences are but let us have a small sample beforehand. He took the time to describe each sample, helping us to decide on the perfect brew. The space is small yet perfect for their business. Love the wine/whiskey barrel tables.

    Good beers and good atmosphere! What more do you need in a craft brewery? We visit Tally pretty frequently, and we will probably return to Ology... and Proof and Deep :)

    Me and 3 friends went here last night and it was great. We told the bar tender what kind of beers we like and dislike and then he recommended things for us. And all the recommendations where great. The inside is very cute and trendy, probably not good for a group larger than 4. It is open so the temperature is similar to outside temperature but it adds to the atmosphere. While we were there on Friday night there was a food truck outside which we ordered from. I had the pork sandwich which was great as well as the key lime pie which was even better. Only thing that would make this better is another group brought a game with them and we were jealous we hadn't done the same.

    I'm close to the front of the line for the Dynamic Fermentum.

    Nice little brewery bar that got my attention with their Dynamic Fermentum release party. I have been a fan of "sours" since I tried my first last spring in Colorado. The interior is simple with a bar with stools on the left when you go in and a few comfortable tables and two person keg tables on the right. A very relaxing setup for quaffing a few beers with friends. For my visit there was the added bonus that they were currently featuring an elderberry, raspberry and blood orange sour on tap that was just plain delicious and refreshing. I can foresee dropping in for a little taste in the future.

    Amazing beer and friendly staff. The atmosphere is really calming. I would recommend going there after a long day at work to relax. They just opened a coffee bar . If you are in the area I would check it out for a morning coffee

    Ology is brewing the most exciting beers in Tallahassee right now. I say that definitively. There's a reason they won "best brewery" at Hunahpu's day. If you haven't been yet, drop everything, or else clear your Sunday afternoon so that you can sample one of their Juice Labs if you're into fruity beer. Heliocentric Distortion Hazy IPA is a standout. I was hooked after the first smooth sip. The bartenders know their craft and can point you in the right direction so that you find something you like. They offer small pours. I shamelessly ordered one ounce of a spectacular mead during my last visit. They typically have a kombucha on draft as well, and pretzels with spicy brown mustard at the end of the bar which I always end up snacking on. They have a decent amount of cans and bottles to grab and go if you're looking to take something other than a growler home. If you really want to impress your friends, grab a bottle of the Trace Element barrel aged sour out of the fridge (the peach was my favorite), add it to your tab at the counter, and pour your friends a wild beer in stemmed glasses!

    Frozen juice lab. Not always available, but as truly unique experience.

    Ology Brewing is not even two years old but has already made a name for itself nationwide, and is one of the best breweries in the southeast. The brewers are consistently on the forefront of beer trends while also brewing traditional beer very, very well. They recently won Best Brewery and 2nd Best Beer at Cigar City's Hunahpu's Festival where breweries from across the world come to pour beer. Occasionally, Ology will have guest kegs from Garagiste Meadery which is one of the best meaderies in the country. Kegs such as these rarely leave the Tampa area and I highly recommend trying one if it's available when you stop by. For those that may not nerd out about beer, the staff are super knowledgeable and friendly and will have no problem helping you select beer that you will enjoy. The eclectic tap list includes something that everyone would enjoy, from hazy IPAs and wild fermented barrel aged sours to blonde ales and stouts. Multiple pour sizes are available and they also do crowlers to go. This is one of the must see places in Tallahassee.

We thought we should leave the long high top tables for larger parties. We chose to sit at a smaller table for four along the window wall. The chairs seem too short for the tables along the window. The restaurant is sleek and modern. Eye-catching decor that is visually appealing. We watched servers and management walked by our table several times in a five minute period and not a single person greeted us. We finally flagged down what appeared to be a manager, and asked if we could be served. They abruptly left the table, more minutes past, and eventually a server came to the table, dropped menus, and left. We waited another five minutes and finally flagged the server down to take our order. I've never experienced this, but the server requested a credit card immediately to start a tab. We said we were paying cash and only planning to order a sandwich and an iced tea. She stated that was the policy so if you are arriving with no credit card in hand, it is possible, you can't be served. Cash is not king here. My dining companion really wanted to try the Italian beef sandwich so we ordered one entree to split. He ordered an unsweet iced tea and I drank water. The food arrived promptly and the bowl presentation was acceptable. The sandwich is served on top of smashed potatoes that are probably baked. There was a gravy at the bottom of the bowl, which was I think was the au jus meant to dip the sandwich. The bread was not fresh. The sandwich was hot and tasty. The meal was enough for two people, but the server didn't bring a plate for the shared portion. We flagged another server and requested and received a plate. The total was $25. My dining companion had visited the restaurant for breakfast several weeks earlier. He noted the food was good and the service was efficient. I hope our visit today was not the norm because we felt totally ignored. We decided if we chose to return in the future we would have to sit at the bar to be able to be served on a timely basis, if at all.

Seating is limited, but you can bring your own foldoutout chair and there are picnic tables available outside with some high tops inside. I can see how this space would be refreshing during cooler months and will circle back in fall for sure. As the heat begins encroaching upon Tallahassee, make sure to dress appropriately and wear or bring bug spray, as the area is a bit woodsy near the back of the warehouse where the brewery is housed. The service there is polite and they do their best to make sure there isn't a ton of foam on each pour.
