    Side Project Crispy Chicken Sandwich
    Kathleen O.

    I will be thinking about the crispy chicken sandwich for weeks. I'm not a big pickle on my sandwich type of girl, but the pickles are a must on this sandwich. That, along with the sauce, and the perfect crispy on the chicken really cannot be beat. When we ordered at the counter, they were great about all of the beer suggestions and it was very quick service. The place was packed on a Sunday afternoon, but it didn't seem to affect service and it didn't feel too crowded since the space is set up well.

    Continuance blend #7, saison du Ble blend and LOAM Norton 22 Harvest.  All amazing

    Service was great. Beers exceptional. Cool location and vibe. If you want something different from a brewery it is definitely worth a visit if you are in St. Louis

    Fries!
    Austin S.

    Okay, so I only stopped in to grab some fries, but had an amazing experience. First: the interior is dope. Super open concept with plenty of room for banter and groups. Boars games are available as well. The service was great. Dude behind the bar was having a great time and super hospitable. The fries? Shoestrings. A top tier fry. Covered in grated parmesan for maximum salty, umami awesomeness. Crispy, crunchy, delectable. The aioli? A field of its own. It is super citrusy and garlicky. For some, it may be too much citrus. But me? I loved it. I dream of one day stealing some of it so i can dip some calamari in it, lol. In any case, i need their pizza, chicken sandos, and every other food offering they have asap!

    Really cute place, came here with a friend on a Friday night and had no trouble finding parking. They had a good variety of beers to choose from and also a good food selection. The salad that I got was super fresh and yummy, although a little bit spicer than I thought a peach salad would be. We also got the fries which are good but covered in a thick layer of cheese that was hard to get around and also really small. Everything came out pretty fast, although the salads came out before the fries. There were also dogs in the dining area which I was fine with but wasn't sure if that was allowed or just something that was happening.

    This is one of my fiancé's favorite places and he requested it for his birthday! The Christmas decor was a lovely surprise and they had inclosed the patio so we were nice and warm. The Staff was super fun and kind! The woodfired pizza is always well done. Loved the Parmesan covered fries and the Abscura was my favorite local stout in a long time! Love to stop by and see what beers they have throughout the seasons!

    If you like beer specifically barrel aged stouts and hazy IPAs you have ventured into the best brewery in this area. Went here and their other locations several times in just a few days visiting here last month. The barrel aged stouts are unique and pricey. I saw 80 people lined up for their 11th anniversary party. 5 stars for beer & staff !!!!!

    Side Project Spicy Chicken Sandwich

    Checked out Side Project Brewing this weekend! there is only a small parking lot but I've not had trouble getting a spot yet, and I think you can park across the street if needed. It wasn't too busy when we went - and you can go right up to the counter and order beer and food and they'll give you beer right away and then bring food to your table. We tried a few different beers, including the content moderator, Oma and opa! All were really nice. For food, we got the burger and the spicy chicken sandwich. They did warn me the chicken sandwich was spicy, which I appreciate - definitely correct, but a good level of spice in my opinion! Super messy to eat which I don't mind, but thought it could've been a bit more flavorful. Burger was delicious as well. The fries were PERFECT - huge fan. Would highly recommend, especially for any beer enthusiasts! You can see all the brewing materials in the back which is cool.

    As always, side project meets the mark. They make incredible, complex beers. We were excited to see they added food to the menu. The MJK on draft was a very nice touch, a 2 oz pour made for the perfect sippable dessert.

    The pizza was just okay, tasted more like bread to me. The kale salad was amazing! We went for happy hour, they switched it up because their food truck was at the Masters. They were friendly and helpful, the place is fairly small but the noise level was average.

    This place is neat. However parking is extremely limited and the prices are a little high. That being said the food is a generous portion and very flavorful. If you want to try some good local brews check this place out. Be warned they close at 8pm on Friday and Saturday. They have plenty of games to play while you drink and eat. The bartenders are very nice and quick!

    Side Project Brewing is such a gem in STL. I had no idea it existed until several months ago. They don't have big signage out front. My fiancé and I tried many samples of their unique beers. We sat at the bar and also got their Parmesan fries and they do NOT skimp on the cheese! Our bartender Alex made our experience one to remember and we appreciated him helping us out with finding options we liked!

    A unique brewery. They have your classic beers and an experimental side. I tried the Pinot noir saison which had a perfect hint of Pinot noir which I really enjoyed. Also tried the chocolate porter which was chocolate forward but not too rich. We did not get the food but it looked (and smelled) great. Definitely will go back and try more of their beers and the food!

    La Belle fleur blend #2
    Kalie Y.

    Friendly staff and good atmosphere. Loved the beer and food selection which includgluten free and vegetarian options, as well! Many to-go beer options too. Loved the La Belle Fleur Blend #2 (pale ale) and the Saison du Fermier Pinot Noir Puncheons Blend #4. Great brewery in a prime spot of downtown Maplewood. Highly recommend anyone to check it out.

    Do they serve any food?

    Nope

    Is it dog friendly?

    Yup, got to pet a pooch while I was having a beer there a month ago.

    Are kids allowed in the brewery?

    The Side Project Cellar is actually just a taproom from what I could tell and not their brewery. I brought my kids (ages 17, 13, and 10) along with me and my wife. I wouldn't recommend bringing kids, we felt very out of place.

I enjoyed that quiet space for a bit and the afternoon air after the walk from Cortex made the wait feel intentional rather than inconvenient. Comfortable seating out here and the light breeze with the afternoon light was nice as I cranked out a few Yelp reviews before I spotted other customers going inside. After setting up at the huge table in the corner, I stepped up to the bar where I was warmly greeted. I chose their Fish Fry, which they call a light lager. It was in a huge mug and that worked out just fine for me as it lasted a while. Oh, and some chicken wings. These were tasty buggers. Served quite hot with a rub that was more spice than sauce. Very yummy and the two sauces were perfect accompaniment. Absolutely delicious. Not long after, friends arrived and I shifted from solo laptop time to conversation. It's nice to see how Rockwell handles the flow of customers. Casual, attentive, friendly. Just right for a great brewpub and a great time. They do have a parking lot. It was just an easy experience today and a great spot for a meetup or hanging out on your own. [Round number review 400 of 2026 - 498 in Missouri - 25583 overall]

The acoustics at times are loud, but you can still hear your friends gathered around the table. My recent visit as always, was to meet-up with some friends. I started out with a Raspberry Beret one of their specialty cocktails. It was my favorite vodka, Tito's with Raspberry syrup and lemon. It was shaken, not stirred and severed up like a martini. Prince would have given it a thumbs up. After some intense conversations with my buds, I ordered some food and a beer. I typically get their famous burger with fries or the chicken wings, but I got adventurous and ordered the nachos. When I asked the bartender how they were, he said that's what he was having for dinner and showed me his plate which sold me. It may have only been an appetizer, but it was filling and easy to eat while enjoying more convo. I'm a fan of Avery Brewing in Colorado, so I had their White Rascal as my beer. Rockwell is so close to getting a 5 Star rating from me, but they keep missing the mark on the customer service. It's good, but some of the staff treat older customers differently then those their age. This visit, one of them was cold and had attitude. After a few tips, they warmed up and provided friendly service and actually got chatty. So I think next time, they may just get the bump to 5.

It's not altogether different from the smell of beer as it's coming back up, and it called to mind my illustrious, mostly-forgotten-at-this-point college years. I was suddenly compelled to listen to Cannibal Ox and watch certain videos that I'd pilfered from Kazaa, and it's probably for the best that I didn't have access to a circa 1998 Compaq Presario in that moment. The vibe in Bluewood Brewing is a lot classier. There's no "Iron Galaxy" over the PA. The lights are dimmed, which I imagine would be convenient if there was someone there you owed money to. I was particularly impressed with a long table on the patio. I remarked to a member of my running group that it almost certainly didn't come from IKEA. The wood was of too high a quality. The food menu is limited to a small selection of standard sports-bar fare, but this is not anywhere you'd go to watch the game. They might not have any TVs. Did they spend too much on the table? Also, they don't sell any beer in cans, that I'm aware of, which I generally prefer as someone who, as the evening progresses, is prone to dropping things. I went with something called Crush, which is an orange-flavored high-gravity IPA. It was the highest ABV selection on their regular beer menu, but it also costs a little bit more, so you're not really getting over on them--unless you thought to "pregame." I found it to be both less "stiff" than I was expecting and less orange-tasting, in a good way but also in a bad way, in that anything that fails to conform to expectation is at least somewhat disappointing. I was expecting paint thinner and orange juice. I got something that was balanced and flavorful. From the food menu, I got the daily special, which was a sort of elevated patty melt called the Stable Melt. It came with two all-beef patties, Swiss, caramelized onions and "Frisco" sauce on Union Loafers marbled rye, with your choice of chips or fries. It was $18, and as I was standing there a guy came out and changed the price to $19, presumably due to developments in the war with Iran. I was assured that I'd be "grandfathered in" at $18, but I'm not sure if he told the guy at the register and I didn't bother to check. It wasn't necessarily my kind of thing, but it was a great burger. The name-brand bread alone nearly justified the price increase. The meat was generously proportioned (no Diddy), but it didn't quite extend to the edges of the bread. Perhaps if it were one larger patty? The onions gave it a sophisticated Salisbury steak vibe, wholly superior to Hungry Man. The fries called to mind the fries at Wendy's. If only they offered a Frosty to dip them in. It wouldn't necessarily go with their beer. I'd suggest they put bourbon or something in it, but I shudder to think what they might charge.

I came with my parents and husband and we all agreed it was a great idea and a very comfortable space, perfect for what was needed. I was surprised at how relatively ample the parking was here despite its proximity to the city. We found a spot with no problems. There were discreet signs that directed us up the stairs to where the event was held. It was spacious, airy, and cool, with a decent number of tables and a very nice large bar, as well as restrooms for both men and women. Our family members who spoke were able to stand on a small stage and share their thoughts. The food was served buffet style in front of the stage. Although you'd think it might be hard to hear given the acoustics, they worked out a way to make it so their speeches could be heard easily. Even visiting with other folks after they spoke, it never became too loud to hear each other. There are also nice TVs which displayed photos of the family. Although we used the space for a celebration of life, I can imagine it would be a good fit for all sorts of events, from corporate parties to just a chill hang out space when it's open to the public. It did get a little bit hot in the space as the event wore on, but it wasn't intolerable. The food and drinks were also quite tasty, especially for catered/buffet style food. There were pretzel bites and cheese dip and three different types of slider burgers: a standard/original burger, a taco burger, and an Impossible burger. The pretzel bites were crispy and buttery. I had a taco burger slider. It was a tiny bit dry but had a great flavor. The bartenders were great -- friendly, answering questions, working efficiently, and very kind to all the guests. Husband enjoyed the beers he tried and my mom and I both ordered the "Cranberry Crush," which was a yummy (and strong!) cocktail that was bright and perfectly sweet. They also serve mocktails, which I love! Glad to include folks who are sober. Thanks, 4 Hands, for creating a welcoming and comfortable space for us!
