Unexpectedly good! We have a "beer passport" with select breweries in New Jersey (buy one,get another one for 50% off kind of deal), so this was on the list to visit. Super friendly staff,good selection of beers,huge parking lot and reasonably big grounds (they have an event-oriented outdoor tent,alongside "regular" bar + brewing interior). We saw a number of people arrive for a 4-can pick up,so there's clear evidence of loyal return-customers :) we had 2 different varieties of IPAs on tap and took some home as well. We'll be definitely back to try other varieties!

This is a cool brewery beside an amazing seafood and gourmet shop with tons of great food to bring over and enjoy. It's small and quaint, but not one of the better breweries in the area, sadly! The staff wasn't all that friendly on the day we went and it wasn't filled with a lot of happy go lucky people. We grabbed one of the games they had and sat at a table and enjoyed our own company and the beers we had. Needless to say the beer was great! We had: - Bearded Flannel Cat IPA for me(Tasty AF) - Grumpy Queen for my gf(Tasty AF) All and all this is a cool spot and I'll definitely be back, but let's hope the next time the servers have a better sense of humor and are more welcoming and friendly. Enjoy :)

Good local brewery. Varied draught beer selection, pilsners, IPA's, sours, stouts. Would love to see a Russian imperial stout on tap. Friendly staff. Very convenient having Metro Seafood next door for food. Definitely worth a visit.

Nice place. Sat at the bar since it was surprisingly dead on a Sunday. Not that I'm complaining...I liked the chill vibe. Just me, my beer, and football. My server was nice...I went with her recommendation. Should've brought in food from next door with me to nosh but I'll do that next time.

Menu - one of each please!

Last week's unseasonably warm weather coupled with a 1/2 day of on-site work means BEER! I'd seen this brewery for a couple of years and was happy to finally be in the area again to stop in. I was craving a cold one under the sunshine but the covered outdoor space still meant I'd have to go inside the actual bar to get my beer then walk across the lot. And honestly the outdoor space seemed best enjoyed with a friend and I was flying solo. Inside the actual bar was bright and airy, mostly populated with men who were a mix of regulars and newcomers. I sat at the bar and was greeted by a friendly bartender, a handwritten menu board, and a paper list to peruse. I opted for a sour, then a citrusy wheat beer. The sour was great, the other a little strange aftertaste. With tip I was out about $18. Not a bad way to spend a Wednesday. Bar stools were plus size friendly and there's a ledge underneath the bar overhang that I kept my leg on so it didn't fall asleep. Fat girl problems. Whatevs. Definitely coming back with friends!

We came today to check out the brewery. Beer was very good. Place was clean and nice. It's next door to the Mediterranean restaurant which was nice so you can grab some food there. The bartender was super nice. Great place especially on a rainy day.

Another excellent stop in my continual quest to explore all of the amazing craft breweries NJ has to offer. It was well worth the 45-minute drive from Jersey City, and another brewery that I look forward to revisiting. The recently tapped Kveik NEIPA was my favorite of the day - it was that perfect yellow hazy hue with just the right amount of hop. It was followed closely by the Goin' In Fresh, a nice mix of east and west coast IPA styles. I was really hoping to try the pumpkin, but alas, that was tapped out the particular day I was there. Next time I'm aiming to try that, along with the stout. As with most things COVID-related, no tastings right now, but they do have some indoor seating if you're up for it, but if you, like I, are keeping it roofless, there is plenty of outdoor seating. Some under a tent for rain, some out in the open for sun, and some with fire pits for cold. And while there is no table service outside (a plus in my opinion), they do have a few beers on tap out there, so you don't even have to go back in to get a refill if you don't want to.

Try the Keller Pilsner! So great to find a microbrewery willing to make a lager and the Sunken Silo Brew version is excellent, highly recommend. Unfortunately no flights here, if you want to try everything and you're a lightweight like me you can go with half pours, 8oz for $5 each; pints are $7. About half a dozen tables inside plus seats at the bar, also a huge covered patio outside for fine weather and/or social distancing. It was 95° when I visited so we sat inside LOL. I'm not much of an IPA fan so I can't give you a review of those. I tried their standard stout, pure clean excellence. I wasn't a fan of the birch stout, the root beer note wasn't my taste. An American pale ale was very plain, forgettable. They're brewing on a 10-barrel system, if you come at the right time and poke your head towards the back, you might get a brief tour. No tour required for drinking though LOL. As many others have noted here and I totally 100% agree, there's a fantastic market next door for takeout, their fish & chips is not to be missed.

Wow, this little local brewery was SO good! It has a hipster vibe and they brew all of the beers on their menu. We went on a Friday night and it was pretty busy but were still able to find seating. They do not serve food but you can order take out from the restaurant next door (Metropolitan Seafood). They have an outside also so I cannot wait for the warm weather there!

Great vibes! My husband and I were in the area for the weekend and we were looking to hang out at a brewery. We had our goldendoodle with us. Dogs aren't allowed under the tent, but they put a table out for us under the tent as close to the patio for us because the patio was full. We only sat for about five minutes under there because a couple of tables cleared out in the patio, but they were so accommodating! The beer was delicious. They were very heavy on the IPAs, but also had a couple of ciders and ales, which I went with. They had live music when we went and some corn hole. Definitely a fun, chill place to hang out! The inside of the brewery was really nice, too! I left with a cute tank top! Also, there was plenty of space between tables where I didn't feel uncomfortable. Following all COVID guidelines!

Had a great experience here!! The bartender was extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommend getting a flight, around $12.

They have 16 options on tap, showcasing their farm-fresh ingredients across beer styles, seltzers, and even birch beer. Flights are always a must for us when visiting a place for the first time and we enjoyed every taste. Standouts included the Doppelbock, Mango-Kiwi Fizzy, Godhi-Real Peach Fruit, and the most unexpected favorite, El Diablo Chelada, a beer-meets-Bloody-Mary situation. Even as someone who usually skips Bloody Marys, this one won us over. Bold, layered, and wildly drinkable. Leashed, friendly dogs are welcome inside the stunning barn-style tasting room, complete with warm wood paneling, oversized wagon-wheel chandeliers, plenty of seating, Rutgers pride, and a peek into the production area. Outside, pups can stretch out on the spacious deck and lawn overlooking the farm. Bonus points for fire pits where you can cozy up with a beer. This is also a family-friendly spot with a great playground out back and loads of room to roam. Just be sure to check their website for 21+ hours. Bring your own food or catch whatever food truck is on-site, and don't miss their packed events calendar. Trivia, open mics, chess games, book clubs, bingo, and more keep things lively all week long. Farm vibes, great beer, happy dogs, and something always happening. Hard to beat!

The atmosphere is amazing both inside and outside. Inside has a beautiful rustic-chic feel, plus a cute little market at the front. Outside is just as special, with plenty of space to hang out, live music, fire pits, and such a fun, relaxed atmosphere. You can order drinks outside, and they also offer a smaller, convenient outdoor food menu. The food in the restaurant is outstanding. The dine-in menu might seem somewhat limited at first, but I've genuinely never been disappointed with anything I've ordered. The chicken I ordered was incredibly flavorful and perfectly cooked. The presentation of everything is beautiful. They also have gluten-free options, which I really appreciate. I haven't tried the outdoor food menu yet, but I definitely hope to! The service has also consistently been great. The staff are always so warm and welcoming and really add to the experience. Whether you're looking for a cozy winter outing, a beautiful summer afternoon outside, or especially a festive fall day with cider, good food, live music, and fire pits, Ironbound is such a great spot.
