    Delicious beer Great atmosphere Perfect spot to enjoy . Friendly staffing Hope you can enjoy

    I stumbled upon this place because I was looking for a non-bougie sounding brewery.. and I wasn't the only one because the other patrons here were amazing! The owner, David, sooo fun and hospitable to everyone. They've been open 10 years. I had a sample of Texas Blood IPA even though I'm not an IPA girl but the flavor was really good. I stuck with the blonde ale, Break Free. The seltzer* they had tasted dangerously good.. so I got some to go lol. *TAPWTR Blood orange mimosa seltzer - sugar free hard seltzer that actually has good flavor compared to...... They do flights and sell tamale and snacks. There's restaurants around and the beer garden is beautiful. The bathroom is super clean and automated (except the paper towels which are conveniently available).

    This may be one of the smaller breweries but they have some good staple beers. My favorite is the Texan blood orange. We walked in and the brew master let us know everything we would like based on our likes. She was very helpful and let us sample ones we were interested in. Cute place with the normal cornhole outside. If you don't like being outside, this brewery is not for you!

    The Texas Ale Project is a newish microbrewery in the Design District with a cool indoor atmosphere and decent beer menu. The TAP has engineered such memorably named brews as "Fire Ant Funeral" (in my top ten list all time best beer names), 50 Ft Jackrabbit, and Texas Blood. It was cold enough outside when we visited that we were unable to enjoy the garden seating. But, the inside of the bar area is clean and modern with plenty of space for various sized groups. A large metal, backlit sign dominates the back wall. Games are available for customer use. We played a sort of two-person version of Cards Against Humanity and laughed a lot. To the right of the main entrance is a large open room with a table where some peeps were playing beer pong. While the variety of spaces was nice, the parking lot runs in between the garden and the brewery building which created an uncozy distance. As we approached, a small amount of seating available by the door created a crowd of people who had to part so we could enter, odd and a little inhospitable since there was ample space inside. We attended for the launch of the Fist Full of Dollar Mexican Stout. A Dallas foot race routed down Riverfront Blvd made it difficult to park The beers we tried were solid but not remarkable. I was hoping for a stronger chocolate flavor and less hops. The IBU's seemed higher in general on the beer selections than my personal preference. She tried the Cotton Candy Pils and enjoyed it, but didn't love it. Again, we hoped for more flavor. We didn't get a strong welcoming vibe off the bartender. Might've been a long day, which we all have. It seems that the landscape of tap rooms has matured to the point that just "having one" isn't cool enough. After having tried a dozen or so, I'm finding that certain ones stand out. TAP has a cool room and set of dining spaces that could use a bit of homeyness added. If you like subtlety in your beer flavor and don't mind bitterness, you'll be a fan.

    Nice!

    First trip to TAP brewery, but not my first TAP beer. Took the fam for an after-Thanksgiving outing, and this place did not disappoint. Ordered a flight of some fantastic libations, pulled out some board games, and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. While not a large indoor taproom, there was plenty of seating avails in the brewery and outdoors. I'm not sure how long the taproom has been open, but it sure looked nice and shiny new to me. And now the beers. Let's start with the BBA dubbel. Nice flavor and true to the style. But my favorite was the 100 million Angels Singing DIPA. Hazy and nice backend flavor. And you can't go wrong with their Texas Blood IPA--juicy to the last drop. I'll be sure to visit again.

    First time here, today 2/29/20. Parking is non-existent. Have to park on the street and there aren't many spaces available. Asked to try a couple of their beers before deciding and after 2-3 samples was told we can order a flight...hmmm.... Felt like a suggestion that she didn't want to give us anymore samples. Actually watched her as the next people came in and she poured a samples then dumped 1/2 of it before giving it to the customer. WTH?? The beers were ok. Had the Thai Hazy IPA (nothing Thai or hazy about it) and the barrel aged stout. Both were good. About $6-8 a pour of 10-16 oz pour (in a dirty glass). Super small place (seating for 28 inside), but love the decor. Nothing makes up for crappy service though. Had one beer and left. Know your customer or you will lose them...

    Cool, chill spot to hang out with indoor and outdoor seating. They have some games like corn hole. Restrooms are really clean, but the beers here are nothing special, unfortunately. Tried their raspberry sparkling cider and it just tasted like a pilsner... No hint of raspberry at all. Also tried the porter and meh. They DO have food here now!! The vendor told me it only happened recently. The menu looks good!

    Great variety of beers, good atmosphere with food truck, ping pong tables and cornhole, needs more seating since it can definitely accommodate more, but overall great experience - stop by if you are in the area

The taproom is right off Inwood Road and it feels very city. Between the train cars crossing the bridge overhead to the activity in the bar, I definitely think Celestial Beerworks has the right vibe for what it offers. I ordered the Strawberry Lemonade sour, and it was very good! Not as sour as some others I've tried, but was definitely tasty nonetheless. My other friends enjoyed their drinks as well. There is a cute little food truck outside that offers tacos, queso, quesadillas, etc. I ordered the veggie street tacos and queso and chips (not pictured). Bit expensive for the amount of filling in the tortillas in my opinion ($2.5 / street taco, $6 queso and chips) but was tasty nonetheless. I appreciated the sauces on the side but ultimately would have liked more kick to them. It's Texas, baby, bring on the spice! Food takes a LONG time, which is nice when you want to sit down and have a few drinks, but not too great if you show up pretty hungry! Overall, would definitely come back for another beer / trivia night but would probably eat beforehand.

The grilled cheese was great, but I've gotta be honest -- the tomato soup tasted more like tomato paste thinned out with a bit of water. It didn't have that classic tomato‑soup flavor I was expecting. Aside from that, the atmosphere here is awesome. It's welcoming for both families and adults, and the space has a fun, energetic vibe. We came for a ping‑pong session, and it was the perfect setting -- clean, lively, and very community‑driven. A big shoutout to Abby, who helped us the most during our visit. Friendly, knowledgeable, and great energy -- exactly what you want from staff in a place like this. Service overall was excellent. If you're looking for a fun, social spot to hang out, grab a drink, and enjoy good company, Community Beer Company definitely delivers. Just maybe skip the tomato soup.

Since the business was actively running the ad, we assumed the promotion was valid and decided to check it out today (2/7/25). When we arrived, there were about 15 staff members standing around and only a handful of patrons. We took a seat at the bar and were given the regular menu. When I asked about the happy hour menu, the bartender simply said, "We don't do happy hour," and walked away. Confused, my sister pulled up the exact ad that was still running on Instagram. The staff then informed us that the promotion had been offered by a former GM who left last week, and rather than honoring the ad or even apologizing for the confusion, they dismissed our concern entirely. It's disappointing when a business pays for advertising but fails to update or manage their promotions properly. If an offer is no longer valid, it should be removed from social media rather than misleading potential customers. Unfortunately, due to this experience, we chose to take our business elsewhere. I hope Backyard takes this as an opportunity to improve communication and ensure their marketing aligns with what they actually offer.

You can tell this place really shines on a nice day or summer evening--it feels like an ideal spot to grab a few beers with friends and settle in for a while. Fun side note: the name "Manhattan Project" is a nod to the historic WWII project, which fits since they started as a brewery first and built a reputation around thoughtful, well-crafted beer before expanding more into coffee. I went with the tres leches latte and it absolutely delivered. Not overly sweet at all, which I really appreciated, and it gave me the caffeine boost I needed after the run without feeling heavy. The breakfast sausage sandwich was a standout surprise. Way better than expected. The bread, egg, and extra cheese all worked perfectly together, and if you're a fan of a runny yolk, this is a must-order.

Great vibe, solid drinks, and excellent food--especially for a post-workout stop. We'll for sure be back.
