This spot is quickly becoming one of my favorites in the neighborhood! After moving out of Boston,…read moreI was looking for some local breweries to replace my favorites in the city, and am happy to say Vitamin Sea is helping fill the void. The brewery itself is spacious with lots of indoor and outdoor seating and your typical funky, industrial tap room feel. There's often really good food trucks, pop-up coffee stands, live music, trivia nights--you name it. You can also grab cans to-go, peruse their merch selection, and bring your pup along (at least if you're sitting outside, not sure about the tap room). Barrel House Z is also right nextdoor, so if you want to brewery hop a bit, that's an option too. The beers themself also don't disappoint. My husband and I are definitely hazy IPA people, and have found something we love each time we visit. If you're not into that though, your options are definitely more limited. They do always have at least one seltzer and mocktail on the menu if either of those are more your speed. Both the staff and patrons here are so nice, it definitely has a community feel to it. I'm quickly on my way to becoming a regular, and wouldn't have it any other way!

Well, now I can say that I've had a seltzer the color of "zelyonka"! To my non-slavic friends and…read morefollowers, let's say this: When I got my sample of Baja Splash Seltzer, my initial reaction was "it's green!" (or was it "blue"?). No matter, I can say for sure it was great! This one was refreshing, summery, citrusy, and while sweet, not overwhelmingly so. Something I would 10/10 get again, and need to get my tail end over here before it rotates out! I also have a light fascination with blue food - it seems like it shouldn't exist, but I digress. As for their other offerings, I feel that they have an okay selection. Some seltzers, stouts, sours, and non-alcoholic options were all available. However, the menu was also IPA heavy, and while I appreciate that I may be in the minority, I am not an IPA fan. Though, perhaps that may change in the future with Vitamin Sea's help. The staff have been nothing but kind and welcoming. While typical of places like this, the ability to try samples doesn't go unnoticed. Finally, the vibe is open, hip, and communal. There are lots of picnic style tables, and card/board game available to borrow. Thus, a terrific brewery to spend a weekend afternoon or evening at. The place is open to families and friend groups, and food trucks are here often. Lots to try and enjoy; especially for IPA lovers. Brewery fans will also appreciate another favorite: Barrel House Z throwing distance away.

The margaritas are good but smaller sized. We usually get mexican food and beers there and like to visit at least once a summer. Plenty of parking out back and limited parking in front of the restaurant. Upper level so big flight of stairs to navigate if you're older. Update: I just checked the website and it may have changed hands because it's called Captain's Hideaway now as of March 2026. Not sure if there are new owners or it changed hands.

We ended up sitting at the bar and it was pouring so we asked to turn on the heat lamps above us. The bartender asked someone else (not the bartender himself) and that guy gave us a hard time about it which was weird and uncalled for.

Taking one star off for that rude heat lamp person, but overall a great experience and would come again!

We had some wine and beer here, prices are too high. Got the whipped ricotta for an appetizer; very tasty but really an appetizer for four people, not two. Menu here is very limited here. We shared a Chicken Parmesan for dinner. It was a huge piece of chicken, but it was flattened out, so it wasn't very thick. Also, it was slightly overcooked and had way too much granulated Parmesan cheese on it. Unfortunately, this entrée is not served with anything. Pasta is super inexpensive, not sure why they do not include it with this dish? Big miss IMO.

Not too loud either; I enjoy that it's a good spot where you can have a conversation. They serve bar pizza from Mike and Lenny's food truck, which is pretty solid! I tried the golden fever chicken bar pizza, and it was really good! The pizza was a little on the pricier end (18.50), and it took a while to get to our table (even tho it wasn't that busy). Super convenient location with tons of parking. Overall good vibes, with a large selection of IPAs, beers, Pilsners, and Ales. I'm not a big fan of beer, but I really enjoyed their peanut butter and jelly IPA!

Castle Island Brewery - Norwood, MA (Beer & Staff)…read more (Atmosphere) Great Beer Selection Castle Island delivers on what matters most: the beer. From crisp lagers to bold IPAs, the selection is solid, flavorful, and well-crafted. Whether you're a hop head or just looking for something smooth, there's something here for every palate. Friendly Staff The team behind the bar is welcoming, knowledgeable, and quick to offer recommendations. Service is efficient and upbeat, which adds to the overall positive vibe. Kid Overload Unfortunately, the atmosphere takes a hit. At 6:00 pm 8:00, the taproom felt more like a daycare than a brewery. Tables were dominated by birthday parties and families with small children eating cupcakes. While some may appreciate the family-friendly approach, it's jarring for those expecting a classic bar experience. If you're looking for a chill adult night out, this might not be the spot--especially on weekends. Final Thoughts Castle Island has the bones of a great brewery: excellent beer and great staff. But the overwhelming presence of kids makes it hard to relax or socialize. If they offered adult-only hours or designated family times, it could strike a better balance.
