Fun, local family-run brewery with a good variety of beers, food, patio, and games. I tried this brewery with my brother-in-law over 5 years ago when they were just starting out in an industrial park with their 2 kids hanging out. They now have a much bigger space, and the kids are grown and working there. Very cool. I like the flights - 6 for about $6. I tried everything from some light sours to Belgians to IPAs to stouts, with most beers rating good to very good. I liked seeing some uncommon styles like ESB, and the scotch ale was particularly good. FYI ABVs listed at the brewery may be different from what's on Untappd. Family and friends really liked what they had. (We didn't try the food - maybe next time.) read more

I emailed to make a group reservation and received a prompt response. Two tables were waiting for us when we arrived. We had plenty of room. My family had an excellent time playing the wall scrabble. The beer and food was delicious. The customer service from cashiers to servers was outstanding. I highly recommend this brewery. read more

Stopped in on Fathers Day Sunday after leaving a tasting at ROUTE 30 Brewery across the street. It was my first time at both. We thought they were closed, but a patron at ROUTE 30 advised they were open for a special Father's Day event. It was near to closing, but my husband and I thought we'd stop by to check it out for the next time we were in the area. We were so happy that we did. The owner Brian welcomed us as soon as we walked in, after explaining that we just wanted to check out the Brewery, he let us know of all the areas they had and even let us sample some splashes of beer. It was such a good feeling to see a family owned business like this. We even had a chance to try some AMAZING mixed berry cobbler that was on special for the day! They had plenty of seating areas, fresh homemade food options, lot's of variety for beer options, and kid friendly. Comic books, darts, lots of board games, life size jenga and connect four, and so much more. Can't wait to come back with my husband and kids to have a full experience. read more

Great food. Fun atmosphere. Super Beer. What more can I say? Even the music was terrific. My husband had the pub burger, I had the hot mess. Wow! Can't wait to go back. read more

Food is really good. I had the tots and the American fries, so good. I also had their selzters. Family friendly. And pet friendly.

Lot's of space and great customer service! There are tons of activities/games and a little play area for your kiddos! Food & beer is very good, highly recommend! read more

Came here on a whim with a groupon and it was totally worth it. We had the tasting flights and a pretzel with cheese (soo good). Cranberry triple Belgium beer was our fav. We also got the Alabama chicken sandwich and man was it good! Also loved the games was nice to just hangout here, Definitely will be back! read more

Came here tonight with some friends and our kids(yes we where those people) and I absolutely loved it, snacks where good drinks where good. We we definitely be back! read more

Came in today for the first time and was greeted by the owner Brian I believe great guy and the service was great as well, had a few beers and they were all very delicious, the nut brown ale and corn lager are my favorite, I'll definitely be coming back to TBC , highly recommend to all you craft beer drinkers out there And to the Thompson fam keep up the great work Cheers :) read more

Thompson Brewing - Nutbrown Ale - American Near Me - Riverside, California

Love this place. The food is great and we love the blond beer and lemonade. The only draw back is seating. The have plenty of it just not if you have any physical limitations (I have bad knee and can't do the tables outside and can't navigate stairs easily) other than that this place only gets 5 stars. Good food good beer and great staff! read more

This is a hidden gem!! The beers are great with a wide variety of styles and types. The food is large based on BBQ meats. Start with the Brisket anything. I love the nachos and the sandwich!! Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to this amazing place. read more

Love this place! It is family run and they are all so amazingly sweet hard working and most of all they make you feel comfortable and 1000% welcome. They switch up their beers and the flavors never disappoint, always so good! The food is Ahhhhhhmazing ! Most breweries do not have food but this place has such GREAT tasting food and generous portions. You get your money's worth on everything at Thompson's. Also I have coordinated a couple bday parties/get together's and they are so accommodating with making sure we all have space and are comfortable to enjoy ourselves. Kid friendly too! read more

ALWAYS a great experience. Amazing team they have there. Food is so good. Drinks are good. The indoor and outdoor dining is just such a cool set up. I love this place. read more

Man this place is so good from food to the drinks. What more can you ask for in beer. Miss the cream ale but hopefully it'll come back! The pretzel and Pulled pork were on point and definitely worth having. read more

It's the right spot. They have great beers .. small ownership, but I recommend it, and I give them a 4 in half for trying. Come here!

Customer service and food are great. They truly went above and beyond for our large party. I totally recommend this place.

This place is awesome!! I started with the 2oz "sample" of 6 of their beers and then the pitchers were flowing! We had a party of 8 and they were extremely accommodating and so kind. The food was incredible!! The entire table ordered something different and each person loved their food. I had the jalapeño dog and their sauces were what made it over the top delicious! 5 stars for food and 5 stars for the beer! Excellent gem in riverside and it's run by an incredibly nice family! read more

Been coming here for a few months now and it was nothing but the best. But this last time was horrible. I ordered take out and it was wrong when I got home. When I called to let them know it was wrong the guy on the phone was very unconcerned about it and with how much I go there it just left a bad taste in my mouth. I will say I did go back and they remade the part of the order that was wrong but by the time I got back home everything else was ice cold. Not sure when I'll be going back at this point. read more

Their beers and award winning burgers are a delight! Such good food and great environment! They also have a good little corner spot for little kids to play in if you have kids. Will return for sure! read more

Love this brewery!! Took our dogs and family today, awesome atmosphere, their outdoor patio is great! Super kid friendly and dog friendly. Haven't seen so many well behaved pups in a long time! Was surprised at how good their food was! We got the spicy chicken sandwhich, brisket burger and brisket nachos... all of it was on point! All of the beers we tried were really good too! Love that they have kid friendly games and adult games, we spent quite a lot of time there and thoroughly enjoyed our day :) read more

The food is always amazing! From-scratch fried pickles and ranch are a must-try. The employees go out of their way to suggest drinks and food you might like based on your preferences. There's an open back patio with tables and a huge connect 4 game. Upstairs has a big Scrabble board. There's a kids' corner with toys too. On the weekend they have adult slushees, spoon-straw and everything. read more

First, I'm going to say that the food was unbelievably delicious, and the staff was super duper friendly. That being said, if you have never been here, and are expecting an actual restaurant where you are seated and served, you will be disappointed. It's more of a fast food type place where you walk up to the counter, place your order, and someone brings it to you. I was off put by this my first time there, and felt like someone should have put this in a review, so people aren't expecting one thing, and show up to something completely different. I feel like the name implies sit down and be served restaurant for some reason. read more

Beer was good, food was good, COVID safety precautions: pretty bad. We went yesterday for the time time and were impressed by the beer selection and the bbq brisket offerings. We got the burger, which was ok, not great, but a generous size. The beer was also yummy. We thought we had found a post-climbing spot to refuel. That was until we got up to leave and saw that there were other customers in line to order not wearing masks, and the staff did not ask them to put them on. Other customers who had been dining in were also walking around the front dining area (indoors) without masks and the staff again said nothing. Customers at the order counter talking directly with the staff, not wearing masks. Then to top it off, we saw two staff members, both of whom handled food in the grill and as runners, not wearing masks and talking like it was no big deal. We got a really bad vibe of the place then and there. It honestly felt like we were at some Trumpster rally. What a disappointment. Regardless of how tasty the food and beer may be, we can't return to a food establishment that disregards the seriousness of the pandemic and has such poor restaurant safety policies with its staff and customers. read more

First timer at Thompson Brewing and it was GREAT! An article on Pe.com made me aware of this brewery. The beers were great and so was the food I decided to try out the Pub Burger which was the one PE recommended definitely lived up to the hype. We were also able to use a coupon purchased on Groupon. Overall great experience and I will be back. read more

Thompson Brewing - Two flights for only $19 with a Groupon code. - American Near Me - Riverside, California

Thompson Brewing is a great place to hang out, drink and eat! I had a large number of women coming into the restaurant and I informed them in advance. They were very nice to set aside a few tables for us! Their service, food and drinks are exceptional! We'll definitely visit again! read more

Great beer, great food, awesome staff. The Mosaic IPA and Honey Blonde were our favorites. Went this past weekend with my GF and out dog. I wasn't sure if they were dog friendly, i was looking at their pictures and saw a couple with some dogs, so i figured they were. Patio is huge (Its basically the back of the building) Bacon tator tots were excellent, Wings and mozzarella sticks were so good. Definitely coming back. read more

Our business has been in he same complex and we have never tried this place - we have been missing out. OMG goodness!!! The food is amazing along with everything else. They have a place for young kids to stay busy and games on all the tables. This place is rad. You gotta try it read more

We met some friends on a Saturday. We ordered appetizers - m&c crisp, deep fried pickles, hush puppies, German pretzel, spicy jalapeño tots and an order of biscuits and gravy, and various beers. The place was packed, which is good! However, all the food with the exception of the biscuits and gravy were over cooked (or burnt, depending on how you look at it). The biscuits and gravy were spot on. I don't drink, but my friends all liked the various brews. I'd have to go back. I want to try the burgers. I'm not going to write them off yet because it all appears to be house made and I really appreciate that. read more

So so so so good! I had a burger and it was delicious! Drinks were good too. Cant wait for covid to be over because I'm sure the experience is even better when it's a full house. Employees were nice and friendly. Welcomed us the moment we walked in read more

Great food and great beer! We stopped in because of the dog friendly patio. I love the sour beer selection.

Great variety of food and drinks. Wonderful customer service, always clean, and welcoming.

Great food , really fun place . First time there , wish I knew I could run a tab . Maybe have the staff ask , " is this your first visit " and explain the particulars of the place . Will definitely be back, everyone was very nice and the place is really cool. See you soon ! read more

I love this brewery! They have an awesome tap rotation and great food. I tried the pub burger (which won awards) and it was SO GOOD. Not to mention, they have a ton of games so we can never really run out of things to do. The staff is also really warm and welcoming. This is definitely my new favorite brewery in the area! read more

Our family had a craving for some BBQ tonight and wanted to try something new. Saw this place had many great reviews, and came in to place a carry out order. I really wanted this place to be great, but the food was just OK. The brisket sandwich was dry, coleslaw dressing was bland and watery, mac and cheese didn't taste that cheesy. My wife's brisket nachos were delicious. The staff working the register was very nice and helpful. They took the time to explain and help me pick out some beers to bring home. Had the coffee creme while I was there, and it was really good. The IPAs I've tried at home have just been OK, but looking forward to try the others. The atmosphere is welcoming and family friendly, and thinking about bringing them to eat in. I am looking forward to giving this place another shot. Love the whole beer and BBQ concept, and all the other reviews seem to be great...maybe just an off night in the kitchen tonight. read more

Tried this place on a whim, the beer was good, the food was phenomenal and there are multiple options for seating. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We were surprised with the tasting samples, with it being our first time there we didn't know which beer to try so they allowed us to taste it before we bought it. That is such a great thing to offer, I hate buying a full beer just to find out I don't like it. So kudos for that!! And just because I didn't spend enough time on the food, I'll go back to it. It was delicious, really good, a lot of breweries have food just to have it but the food here has so much flavor, good bbq flavors and good portions. I will definitely be going back, there is a lot more food that I want to try!! read more

This place does not disappoint. The American fries are addicting, all the food is great. By far the best seltzer I have ever had. Super friendly staff and fun place to hang out. You won't regret trying this establishment. read more

this beer is so ggod i love it the server with brown eyes was the best!! my kids were acting a fool but the servers didnt mind! the best brewery ever read more

We stopped here on a road trip. The beer was good but the food was ok. Really it was the buns that got soggy so fast on the burger and brisket sandwich. Other than that the meat was great but the soggy buns ruined the rest. The beans were delicious though! read more

Really great food for a spot that specializes in beer! Had brunch here and would 100% recommend, especially any of there brisket dishes. Would love to come again for a night out. read more

Usually when I see so many solid 5 star reviews, I have to wonder if it really is all that its cracked up to be. After having visited I must say I am VERY impressed with this brewery. On the outside it doesn't really look like much but what it lacks in space, it more than makes up for in personality and atmosphere. And did I mention they have really great beer? The selection is unique, which is needed as more breweries pop up in Riverside and surrounding areas. Brian and his wife were very friendly, outgoing, and helpful. My friends, who are not avid beer drinkers, could not stop talking about what a great time they had while they were here. That's enough for me to warrant a 5 star review for this brewery. We can't wait to return there in a week or two for more beer and more fun. Keep up the great beers releases. Cheers! read more
