great place great food. Come hang out at the all-new Brewery. This place is really cool.....

The new and improved brewery is amazing. Clean and bright. New deck added, additional parking, etc. I went on their first day open and it was such a change. Going from picnic tables on the 2nd floor to everything being on the first floor, marble tables and contemporary architecture is great. read more

So many breweries have sprouted up around Houston over the past couple of years, but there are a couple of brands that stand heads and shoulders above. Southern Star Brewing is one of them. Located in Conroe, Southern Star is best known for its bombshell blonde beer. With their place in the market, I was expecting more from the brewery. The brewery is relatively small and is even smaller than competition in its own city such as B-52 Brewing Co. With that being said, the interior is nice. There is plenty of seating, several TVs, a merchandise booth, and some pizza that they heat up for you using a toaster oven. Not the best food options but better than nothing at all. They also have a nice deal, similar to 8th Wonder, where you can get three beers and a commemorative glass for a good price. What's a bummer is that the beer selection is pretty small, we're talking ten beers or so. Other than the bombshell blonde, the vast majority of beers offered when I visited were IPAs and dark beers. These are beers I don't like so my options were pretty limited. What turned things around was the enthusiasm and friendliness of one of their employees. He went above and beyond to make sure we were having a good time and had a killer playlist going. Things like this make a difference. read more

Wanted to like SSB but the place makes an Applebees a much better option to grab a beer and a bite. And that's sad, because....well....Applebees. It takes more than expensive beer and trendy-named appetizers to build a great place to hang. So yeah, go to Applebees. read more

Terrible food. Beer is warm. Staff was rude and service is slow. It smells bad. Like something is off in the bar area.

About a year ago I visited and had mediocre time (beer was ok but service didn't live up to the reputation) and wrote a slightly critical review on their Facebook page, of my experience... so I checked earlier today and they must have blocked me on FB. Childish reaction by their social media team has lead me here. read more

Bad experience from the second I walked in. The best part was when I was able finally walk out. Also the beer sucked. This company does not encompass Texas in anyway of form. read more

We've been here several times. Everytime we went, the beer was warm, flat and overpriced. They also oversell their events in that half of the food vendors don't show up. Don't bother trying to contact them, they NEVER answer!!! read more

I reserved the tap room for June and now I heard that the tap room closed for renovations. They fired the wonderful staff that was there and no one has contacted me about my reservation. I am trying to contact them and they don't have anyone answewring the phone and the voice mail box is full. I need to know if I need to find a new venue for my June event asap. I already paid a deposit but I need to know to plan the food and all the things that go along with an event. New owners need to communicate. read more

We enjoyed this brewery. There were two food trucks outside to choose from. One truck appeared to be a regular with menus upstairs that had American food and then a Maine Lobster truck. There was plenty of seating with a football game playing and a live band. The beer is priced perfectly at $4 a pint. You have to buy tickets from the front desk though and then take the tickets to the bar to get a beer. read more

This is an excellent brewery in little 'ol Conroe! The brewery sits back a few blocks off Hwy 75 just a little south of League Line. Down a slightly winding road nestled in the woods is a beautiful brewery building. You'll notice just before that is an open field. Both places you can sit and have a beer. The taproom is upstairs inside the brewery. There is plenty of seats and some TVs. The bar outside is located in a small hut and there are a lot of seats outside as well. There are games outside to play, or bring your own. It is family friendly, and there are usually food options from local food trucks that come out to serve. You can take a tour of the brewery. The guys are friendly and funny. Customer service there is always top notch. They are always serving great beer in a fun atmosphere. You should drop by sometime. You won't regret it. read more

Nice hidden bar in Conroe . They were playing 80's music when we got there morissey, Tracy Chapman etc . Loved it !! Then they changed the music to today's hits so not bad . I tried several of their IPA 's and they were pretty good . My sister doesn't drink beer but they had a strawberry flavored beer that she actually liked . The bar staff was super friendly . They also had a lady that cooked beef & chicken taquitos that was pretty good . She also sells nachos , quesadillas. They have checkers on the table you can play . We thought that was fun . Going back next time I visit . Really enjoyed this place . read more

This is a great little hide-a-way tucked off the I-45. The facility has indoor and outdoor spaces. So, I'm the hot sun, you can cool off upstairs tap room in the comfort of A/C. They have a bunch of games and local vendors with products for sale. When it's cool outside, you can enjoy the outdoor activities which includes the occasional bands on the weekends. The only drawback is the staff would not win a Spelling Bee. Makes me wonder how they came up with the award winning Bombshell Blonde... read more

Great place that hosts some great events. It does get a little loud inside for me when there are live bands but many don't mind. Southern Brunch is a great summer beer. read more

Great local brewery with some amazingly tasty beers. This place is located on the north side of Conroe at the back of what looks like some residential property in the front...it kinda feels like you're at someone's house, and oh by the way, we have a brewery in our back yard...but in an awesome sort of way. Huge "biergarten" with ample tables and even some fire pits here and there. Outdoor tap set up, but this isn't always open. They do have several monthly events - farmer's market, etc that they use the space for. Upstairs and inside is the taproom...super nice, super clean and all the folks are super friendly. Basically, for $10 you can get a logo pint glass and three beers. They also do flights, and while they have their regulars on tap (bombshell, buried hatchet, pine belt etc), they also have some seasonals and rotators on tap, so check em out! read more

Meh, just not good. I thought I'd give it a chance but it proved to be a poor choice, I won't be back.

We have driven to Southern Star THREE times from San Antonio. Each time they have been closed for a private party. We check the website before we go and there is never anything on it saying this. We call and there's no answer. Oh well...sad because we have always liked their beers. Three strikes! read more

Great assortment of beer. Nice indoor taproom and outdoor area. But way too many hornets. read more

Great beer, great atmosphere and very family friendly. Always have events and thing going on for a good time.

Everything about this place is fantastic. Round of applause Southern Star Brewing. You are hands down making the best beer I have had in Texas! I am a home brewer so I will try anything. From your coffee stout to your bombshell blonde I was impressed. The atmosphere was great, bartenders were knowledgeable. And prices were reasonable! read more

Overpriced and couldn't carry on a relaxed conversation. I had intestinal issues afterwards. Maybe the added lactose or something but I had a bad day. read more

Tried to contact them about a large group even, both through their event page and regular email, no answer. Apparently they don't care.

So thrilled to have the pleasure of visiting this brewery!! Great tasting beer, great atmosphere and customer service. Dave is the best!!

Cool place! Went on a Sunday when they had the crawfish special, good food and good beer!

$12 for a branded pint glass and 3 tokens to choose from there extensive beer menu. Starting at 5%! ABV and up. My favorite of the night was Humidity Kölsch which is a genuine German style beer. My Mrs liked the Dosey Doe Coffee Stout but be warned that has a 9% ABV. read more

What can I say about a bar that hosts your little brother's wedding other than the staff made it feel like it was home, even though we flew in from California everybody there was so kind and I've never felt more welcomed it was the perfect place to host my little brother's wedding they're such good kind people and I can tell why they chose this location read more

Great brewery in Conroe! The google maps directions didn't take us to the exact location but watch out for the Southern Star sign and you'll be heading the right direction. The place is pretty big! There is a sizeable outdoor area with games such as cornhole. The outdoor area is dog friendly and has a dedicated bar. The indoor facilities are really nice, there are large picnic tables - good for groups. The beer itself is great! They have a good selection of 8-10 on draft, some are seasonals or specials. I tried the Bombshell Blonde, Sunday Brunch, and the Russian Imperial Stout. All of them were good! The bartenders were also friendly and helpful, allowed us to have a sample before ordering. You can bring in your own food or snacks here which is great. Although even if you don't bring food, it seems like there is usually a food truck around. Overall, great place to spend a few hours in Conroe. read more

This place is a must in Montgomery County. Incredible beer tastings and food trucks are always a great combo. Picnic table seating in the upstairs so get there early and/or be willing to share a table. We always try to go when we have out of town guests because it's casual and, let's face it, the beer is awesome and super affordable. The staff is super nice as well. read more

Love the beer! We also enjoyed the tour of the brewery and that the tap room is inside with AC. We will definitely be going back soon!

There's isn't a ton to do in Conroe. You will enjoy this place as long as a few things can happen. They have a varied menu of drinks, not as much creativity as some of the other local microbreweries, but their quality seems to compensate for that. That is not to say they aren't creative, they have some excellent options. If it is hot outside, try their indoor tap room. Their aren't as many trees out for cover. Try it out! read more

Ok, so I get that this is Dan Patrick/Trump country and that COVID does not cross the Montgomery County line. That said, the taproom could pretend it cares. There is a "Mask Up" sign on the door, drawn on construction paper by one of the employees' kids. When I entered, one of the two employees was wearing a mask. The maskless one hit the men's room same time as me. Did not wash up. Turns out he's the bartender. I left. Note: SSB sells beer via tickets. Said tickets sit in the bottom of the "clean" glass you get your beer in. Hopefully, washed hands tore apart those tickets.... read more

I loved coming to this brewery. The beer was great, the staff was super friendly, and the atmosphere was excellent and I'll definitely be back. The one star deduction comes from the food setup they had in the parking lot. They were selling burgers, brats, and hot dogs. The food was ok and very overpriced. $8 for an over cooked burger and $6 for onion rings that were fried for about an hour. I'd highly recommend coming here for the brewery, but either eat before or after. Don't waste your money on the street vendor selling the carney food. read more

Southern Star Brewing - Outside of the brewery looking from the patio. - Breweries Near Me - Conroe, Texas

Southern Star is great. While you can get their beer all over the greater Houston area, the brewery has some awesome experimental creations. The people that work there are awesome. read more

Pretty decent beer. We got the conspiracy theory ipa, the nitro stout, and the pale ale. We also sampled the rest of the beer but none were really that good in our opinion. The conspiracy theory and pale ale were good for the summer. Both were nice and light, and the ipa wasn't that bitter like a lot of others. The stout was a favorite. It was a lighter stout but it had a nice cocoa favor. They also had pizza that actually was decent. Tasted fresh, and had a cruchy crust. We sat outside bc we had a dog with us. It was ok though bc they had a big fan going. It only really blew at one of the benches, so if you're planning on coming here and need to sit outside, I would recommend coming early and getting that bench. read more

Great tap room. Several board games for entertainment. Great beers. Would definitely recommend!

Great atmosphere! Wonderful beer selection and I love the deals. My husband and got 4 tickets, 2 koozies and 2 glasses for $34!

Decent selection of beer (about 10 taps) with a great air conditioned tap room. The rates are: $12 for pint glass + 3 beer tickets; $6 for pint glass + 1 beer ticket, or $4 per beer ticket. There are also flights available for 2 beer tickets. Brewery Tours are available at 2pm and 4pm on Saturdays and it is $10 per person for a tour, pint glass, and 3 beer tickets. There is plenty of seating available indoors and there is a large outdoor area. The area is very well kept and has a welcoming ambiance. There is also pizza available in the tap room. Overall, this is a great place to hang out with friends on a nice day, or a hot day. Southern Star is open Thursday- Friday 4-10pm, Saturday 12-10pm, and Sunday 12-6pm. One word of advice, if it's your first time visiting, spotting the entrance of the drive way to the property is easy to miss, so keep a good eye out for a 'Southern Star' sign with a bombshell blonde can image on N Frazier St. I visited last week and for some reason my Google Maps was taking me down the side of the property (League Line Rd) where there isn't an entrance. Beer selection: 4 Ambiance: 5 Staff: 5 read more

Very spacious, very nice, VERY VERY friendly; including the staff and the customers. Dog friendly as well (: and they have a good array of choices on tap read more

Great beers. Several great ones to choose from. Good atmosphere. Food trucks and live music.

I hosted my rehearsal dinner at Southern Star Brewery and it was amazing!! Each staff member was eager to assist to help make the evening perfect. All my family/friends loved the atmosphere and the beer. This place is awesome! read more
