Been there twice both times were very enjoyable and food was way above average. Had a fish sandwich earlier this year and a grilled mahi tuna just last week. Both were very good. Everyone in my group was happy with their meal. The hoagies are huge. The ambience is really great. Loved the outdoor seating in the back and had a really good guitar player/singer that night. read more

Came to the Grumpy Beaver tonight to enjoy dinner and the "ghost stories" they were advertising online and on the fliers that even hung in the restaurant. When we asked the hostess she said it would be upstairs and we couldn't bring food. Disappointing but we thought get a drink, listen to some stories then come back down for dinner, what could go wrong with that right? Well when we got upstairs, the woman said that there were no stories, it is just how they advertise their karaoke night! How sad. Advertise something then pull the rug at the last minute. Hostess could have told us, waitress could have told us, but no we had to wait until the grumpy barmaid upstairs told us. NEVER GOING BACK! read more

This review is for holding a private event in their upstairs Spirits Speakeasy & Lounge. From preparation to bartending, the staff was AMAZING. As for their catered food, I am totally biased. I have been chasing chef Greg Powell around Beaver County for ages, wherever he is cooking up his food. I was delighted he is the kitchen genius at the Grumpy Beaver Pub. From start to finish, it was a smooth running event space experience! read more

The Grumpy Beaver Pub - Convenient Parking can be an issue. Word to the wise, obey all posted no parking signs and painted curbs - Pubs Near Me - Bridgewater, Pennsylvania

This cute pub is divided into three areas to accommodate everyone's fun visit. The bar area has high top tables for enjoyable get togethers, while thru the open door way are low top tables which aid in providing a more intimate atmosphere. There is also a big patio area which is wonderful for a warm spring day, or a cozy summer night. The menu contains unique items amongst its standard fare. We went with the "Polish bowl", the " Italian bowl" and the cheesesteak. The Polish bowl contained pirogies that would rival any church lent takeaway. Accompanying them was kielbasa, sauerkraut, bacon, with side of sour cream and butter. Large portions, delicious taste. The Italian bowl consisted of four enormous meatballs. The flavor reminded me of my mom's who was taught by her neighbor who was from Italy. So very delectable. I took two of the four home and made two meatball subs from them- again, so enormous. The Grumpy Beaver does not skimp on quantity, but maintains a very high level of quality. The cheesesteak equaled two you would receive from anywhere else. The inclusion of sirloin, Swiss cheese accompaniment, and the local Mancini bakery bread ( long roll) will stand against anything you get from Philly. This was scrumptious. For dessert we chose a Dubai torte, and a banana peanut butter pie. Both did not let us down, with the heavenly flavor exploding in each bite. Our waitress Gabby was sweet and very accommodating. We will be back, and you should try it! read more

My husband and I went there to hear the live music they had recently and since we had eaten at home earlier in the evening, I just ordered dessert. It was an Orange Phyllo Cake. I'm not really a cake person but I love orange flavor but I have to say, this was the best cake I've ever had! It was dense like a tres leche cake and it tasted like it had been soaked in sweet orange syrup. Delicious!! There were pieces of sweetened orange rind and pieces of crispy phyllo slivers that added a nice crunchy element. Don't pass this place up! I've never had anything here I don't like. read more

Cozy pub with a huge menu; even an entire menu page of wedge salads. Their steamed shrimp special on Thursdays and Sundays is fantastic. $14 for a pound and $7 for an extra pound. Had a mini Wedge and the Cajun and Old Bay shrimp, Cajun was our favorite but both were great. Great service and a nice patio outback with live music on weekends. Next trip we will definitely venture upstairs to the Speakeasy. The only need is to put a good IPA on tap! read more

Enjoyed a great evening outside. Service was excellent, and the gin basil smash cocktail, the Reuben rolls and our salads were amazing! Would definitely recommend read more

Seriously amazing food at this unassuming spot in Beaver! Visiting family, and they all spoke so highly of this spot and I can see why. From the red pepper soup, to the pirogi with kielbasa, to the Rueben, and even the brussel sprouts were spot on. My family lives in the area and said that not a single thing is bad on the menu! I loved how much corned beef the Rueben had with so much melty cheese. The sauce was excellent and not overly spread. The read pepper soup was a favorite, and the toast squares were so nice to dip in! A late lunch at the bar meant the place was to ourselves, but the service was great and our bartender made sure our drinks were always filled. Like this classed up dive vibe, and I would come back just for the soup! read more

The Crispy Brussels Sprouts and Cauliflower Caprese Flatbread were delicious! Our server was so sweet and kind. We had a great experience all the way around! read more

What a great little pub. Live music and outdoor seating. Good draft beers. Menu is a tad small for those that like to go often. The bones wings are AMAZING.. they must be brined. The Ruben egg rolls are amazing too. We also really like the Brussels sprouts. The Philly cheastake was just okay. The fries are really good though. read more

Sometimes you see a dish on tv and it looks so good but you don't know how to make it. I was craving a tomato-y and a little spicy pasta dish but didn't The Grumpy Beaver had just that!! They have Louisiana Pasta and it was soooo much better than I could have ever imagined. Just exactly what I was craving. It's a seafood/sausage pasta dish with the perfect tomato and a little oil sauce. It's just what I have been wanting!!! I will definitely have it again. My cocktail was delicious, too! read more

An update...as stated, a bit of a wait for well prepared food is acceptable. A long wait to place an order after being seated is something else. This has happened on the last two visits, the most recent found us waiting for 15 minutes and staring at a menu where the traditional fish sandwich was conspicuously absent from the lenten menu. There *was* walleye on the regular menu, but a familiar large deep fried cod sandwich is what we were after. Maybe our pallets just aren't upscale enough. There seem to be plenty of wait staff, but there doesn't seem to be a shared understanding of what everyone's role is or how long someone should be expected to wait before an order is taken...even if the food is awesome. read more

Don't you love when you just stumble upon a really great place? Our server Deanna was so warm and nice with a GREAT tip about their house made dressing, which turned out to be incredible! My gyro wedge salad was huge and DELICIOUS! My husband got the miso correlone (hot Italian sub), my dad got the cheesesteak, and my mom got the goat cheese and beet wedge salad and everyone absolutely loved their food. We weren't sure how the food would be since this is a bar with food so we were really pleasantly surprised when it was very very good. This place is really pretty on the inside (historic architecture) and the outdoor patio was nice too. Everything seemed very clean, including the restroom. My husband said there was a really cool lounge upstairs as well. Overall we had a fantastic experience! read more

I didn't have a great first experience here. It took forever for anyone to wait on me at the bar & the that finally did seemed not very experienced. I wasn't given a beer list or a food menu. I had to ask about beer & she wasn't familiar with what beers were what. I had been hoping to get a bite to eat, but I couldn't even get a second beer and it wasn't very crowded. I've always liked this place...it was two other places before it changed to Grumpy Beaver. They have a lot of potential but never enough staff & often an over ambitious menu. I'll give it another shot & hopefully will have a better experience. You can park on street or in church lot up the road. They have a nice outdoor seating area & patio. They also have live music. read more

OMG! I think my bartender said her name was Lizzy and she gave me some of the best service I ever had in my life! Such a pretty and bright young lady. The place also just has a good vibe over all, this is a must check out place down in the bridgewater area. read more

This was a hard review to do. After eating our appetizers, I was thinking I was going to be giving this a 5! The atmosphere in the bar area was great and our waitress, who was also working at the bar, was really attentive. I also loved the black silverware. We got the Brussels sprout appetizer, Phenomenal, and the meatballs were really good too. Then we shared the Polish Bowl, which was good. But the reason for the 3 stars is that we didn't get our meal for almost 1 hour and 40 minutes after we ordered. We feel like we will for sure they this again, but we might need to pick and chose our food. read more

Cute local bar! Staff was so friendly and attentive. I highly recommend the brussel sprouts they were delicious!!

grumpy may be the name but everyone was cheerful and happy! The food was great! I had a Philly dog and it had a huge hot dog with lots of steak and peppers and cheese!!! the bun was so soft too! the fries were so pretty. evenly cut pieces so lightly golden brown and soooo good!!! yes you need to try this new restaurant! and in the evening on weekends there is live music too. Quaint and cozy place! read more

Coleslaw so good. Ordered an app it came out with dinner at same time. By the time we ate dinner it was cold. Flat beer draft. Still paid. Waitress was nice but didn't apologize for flat beer or app coming out with meal. Waitress said bartender said beer wasn't flat but it definitely was! Not a great vibe tonight. read more

The food here is great, and the menu options are diverse - something for everyone. We were already familiar with the chef's expertise, so when we heard he was opening a new restaurant, we had to try it. The service is excellent, as well, and we enjoyed dining on their back patio - a nice place to relax and unwind with good food and good service. Highly recommend! read more

I am gf. Not my choice. But, wow. Food was delish. I had the meatball entree, cauliflower flatbread and the lettuce wedge. Yum is all I can say. Chased it with a couple of good Riesling wines and I am one happy gal. Ambiance great. Not hot, not cold. I'm coming back. Italian dressing was great as well. And all this on a Monday night!! Loved the cute waitress as well. read more

I was very hopeful for this spot because the menu looked great and I heard some great things. I got there at 7:30. The hostess appropriately explained that the kitchen was backed up and the food might be a wait. We knew it is a new resturant so we figured we would wait because of our excitement to see a new place with a menu that is not a family resturant. We sat down and we got menus and I did like the ambiance and the glitter tables were awesome. Well, then our waitress explained we could only order alcohol because ghe kitchen was backed up and they were no longer taking orders because they close at 9:00. So, we declined and on the way out we explained to the hostess that they are completely closing the food down. The owner then decided to explain they cook food from scratch and they are busy. Look, I understand they and new and things can get chaotic, but they are serving salads, hot dogs, and sandwiched (that are mostly lunch meat based). There isn't anything Robert Irvine would tolerate longer than 30 min from scratch. I didn't feel welcomed and likely will not try again (mostly because of the owner). read more

I don't typically give places 5 stars. This place stands out. The menu is great. It is a little more refined but nothing crazy (as some people complained previously). We came in with two hungry kids 6 & 3 who just had movie plans fall through (so were upset) they were super accommodating. They got our kids food first and the waitress expedited it so they wouldn't be hungry (it still tasted very good). My wife and I ordered the Rueben and the turkey sandwich. Both came out quickly and far exceeded expectations. Most notably was the service. Best service we have had in a long time. Our waitress was honestly perfect. She anticipated the hungry kids and brought them complimentary popcorn and was extremely nice despite the kids being cranky at first. We will be back. Only criticism would be the draft list. The house pale ale was not the best but drinkable. They need to have more craft options and get rid of the ciders, hard lemonades, etc. That is more of a preference though. read more

Went for dinner. Brussel sprouts were good. Side salads were different. I did like all the little sides (olives, red onions, watermelon radish). Took a while to get drinks. My meatball bowl was very good but wished there was more sauce. My Moms pecan chicken was a little too much! Good taste but by taste number 3 we were over the pecans. Service was great! Dessert and coffee were great! read more

I loved the cold soups I had both blueberry and raspberry, also tried the brussel sprouts and they were delicious.

We stoped for a quick bite & ended up staying , Acoustic guitars , ice cold drinks , food was exceptional, Wait staff quick, efficient and very friendly all-around wonderful experience !!! read more

I had so hoped to enjoy this but....An hour for an appetizer that was ordered as a meal- the waitress claimed she didn't hear. A double charge on a drink & never asked during meal if needed drink refill- asked after finished eating. The beet & goat cheese wedge was completely bland and underwhelming. Sad to say this is a big thumbs down. The name is adorable- maybe coming for only the bar is the way to go. read more

This is a great place to eat, meet friends, and enjoy yourself. The mojitos are fantastic, but then again I've never had a bad drink or a bad meal. I love the staff ! They are so attentive and friendly. It's like a neighborhood bar with a warm and friendly welcoming atmosphere. You also need to try the upstairs for specialty drinks and a very relaxing atmosphere. read more

Fun vibe! Great whisky selection. Attentive and friendly service. Inviting energy. Winter drink menu is very creative.

Unexpected super find! Fantastic food, great service and atmosphere. Place has a nice vibe - great space for meals or drinks and apps. We had the Philly cheesesteak and Gyro salad - both were fantastic, huge portions and would order again. Love that they also have good GF selections. Highly recommend! read more

Weak drinks. Food is edible but nothing to write home about. Staff was very friendly though! Ambiance was decent.

First time here and love it. We came with 10 people and they gave us a private room upstairs that we didn't even request. Lila waited on us and was very quick with all our requests. Thank you Lila! We'll be back and have decided this is our annual holiday dinner spot. Make sure you stop upstairs for the wonderful velvet chairs in the bar... read more

Great spot in Bridgewater, PA. Nice selection of beers and cocktails and not the same thing you get everywhere else. The menu is full of items that managed to satisfy everyone I was with. Huge sandwiches, pastas, good salads...come hungry. Our server was great--quick with drinks and our dinner came out hot and fast. They also had a great live band playing outside on the patio, and there is a secret upscale bar upstairs. The place was packed full people that enjoyed the evening. read more

This was my 2nd rime going there and I loved it. The food was absolutely great both times that I have been there. I will definately be back.

Service was extremely slow. Don't go if you're actually hungry. If you're drinking, order two at a time. If you want food that is "prepared fresh" but is basically something out of a crockpot....be ready to wait at least 90+ minutes..... nothing more than a few salads, pierogis, and meatball hoagies. The beer was ok. Standard craft brew kind of stuff. Nothing memorable or something you'd look for at a distributor. After multiple complaints, the Manager came out, but was rather nonchalant about it. Gave us a few free deserts and beer glasses (3 bite size cuts of what looked like Costco cheesecakes). Same excuses as other posts here....kitchen backed up, new server, big party ahead of you, etc. He did knock off 10%, but was barely enough to cover the difference of leaving a clearly struggling server at least a decent tip. oh....parking is nowhere to be found...enjoy walking a block or two from a side street) For apps and entrees in the $15-30 range, spend your time and money elsewhere. read more
