I have been coming here with my friends and family for a few years now and absolutely love it. Great food, amazing beer and tons of fun games for you to play and enjoy. read more

Great beer selection, lots of seating both upstairs and down. Cute little children's play corner with lots of toys and activities. Games aplenty for the big kids too. Food selection is amazing! Only reason I took a star if is the speed of service and forgetfulness of the staff. Last visit my group had ordered food, 45 minutes later it never came out! Reminded the staff and 15 more minutes later we were served burned and inedible mac n cheese crisps. Other than that, this really is a great brewery! read more

First time visit tonight and have to say everything was delicious. From the Pub burger and German brat to the strawberry honey blonde and the tangerine wheat. The customer service was great and really love to see the whole family involved. Can't wait to go back thanks for the night out. read more

Great beer, great food, great atmosphere. The food was delicious and unique. I had the brisket sandwich which was very good. Tender and tasty. Great selection of beer. Some sours which is always nice, a ballin' stout and even a few Belgians. Hats off to all that. I'll be back without a doubt. read more

Bar Crawlers of the Universe in So Cal returned to a riverside brewery of our founding year. Thompson Brewery on Indiana ave. at its new digs, a new building and decor. White walls with big tables out front, the back has a look of a neighborhood brewery. The taps and Eatery shares the middle of the shop. Here's one to catch you on, they have a second floor area. The place for a party (reservation needed). One needs to come by to see what's next. The Beers; A Blond and a Bavarian Wheat to show off the new place, but not a great drink. The legendary Nut Brown from 2013 has gone to some changes, and NOT for the best more likely for the most. Imperial Ginger Belgian Amber is an ale made for the slow gentle drinker (5 stars) sitting upstairs with their favorite treat to play the evening away. Old World Porter what a good drinker (5 stars) wants not what a thirsty drinker needs. Russian Imperial Stout,first sip and you remember why you came here. To find and conquer your thirsty ways. By six it was a roaring success, only wish more of my friends had showed up. read more

One of the best breweries we've been too. Hands down. Beers are flavorful, smooth and will sneak up on you. They're so easy to drink. Food is also on point. You really can't go wrong. Family owned and ran. Service was great. Highly recommend. read more

This is my favorite brewery to come to! Great people, amazing food and lots of board games!

Always a good time and the beers a solid! Keep it goin Brian! !!!! Just don't challenge his soon to any board games, he owns! read more

My husband and I love supporting local business this being a brewery we were excited to try it out. He's an avid IPA drinker, he was disappointed that they had only 1 available but I loved the honey blonde. The staff was friendly but this place was not for us. It's too bright in there, no TV's, and too many kids for us. We could not hear ourselves talk with the kids playing the with the blocks. I get it's a family place but for a adult night out it's just not for us. If i had small kids and wanted a cold one then I would come here. :) read more

We had my 30th Birthday party here and it was a blast. We had it in the back area and they had corn hole set up and ping pong . The beer was great and the food was great also. Over all a great place and I was very happy we chose this place!. read more

Solid beer and surprisingly good food. Decent variety all around. One of the few I can bring the whole gang and little ones have fun with house root beer and a games corner. Family run and family friendly. Ambiance is lacking, and I wish there was a tv with football was on but it just means you pickup a board game instead. read more

Dad's gone. Kids taking over blasting soul music. Rude staff and bad quality food. Not the same pre COVID. Won't be back. Too bad

Went during the afternoon on a Wednesday so there wasn't a big crowd which was nice. They have a kids section which is really convenient. It was clean and the service was good but...the food was just okay. We had the chicken wings and the fried cheese sandwich along with the chili fries. Wings were tiny, cheese sandwich was the best thing we had and the chili tasted like it was canned. Not the worst meal but not the best by far. We got the 2oz beer sampler and the cherry was my favorite. Didn't care for the others read more

We had really been looking forward to trying this place and went on a Saturday night. The customer service was excellent! The food was good and the beer too. They had darts and other adult games which would be fun. For a Saturday night the ambience was really not there. Very bright lights, kids running around unsupervised.. We left after one drink. read more

So happy we found this brewery . We love going to breweries and we haven't found one in Riverside we love but this one , we love ! Good beer , good food , and family friendly . Perfect for us !! We had the IPA, the honey blonde , and the Bavarian wheat ; delicious . The staff is so nice too ; we'll definitely be back ! read more

Wife and I decided we wanted to get a really good burger on a Saturday afternoon so we started doing reviews on Yelp for burger spots. Thompson kept catching my eye. The place is AWESOME. Spacious and super clean, staff is friendly and food is amazing. Tried the pub burger and it did not disappoint. Beers are awesome as well. We are so glad that we found this spot, and will return every Sunday! If you haven't tried Thompson out yet, get over there now! read more

Amazing brew and food. Great selection of freshly brewed beer. Real Beer...Not Bud Light.

Thompson's brewing is one of the best breweries around. I absolutely adore this place and the beers that they produce! Always so friendly and nice. Martha and Brian are just awesome people. We've been coming back to this brewery again and again. Stop in and give this place a try, they're bound to have something that will satisfy you on tap! read more

Thompson Brewing has been a go to spot for date nights and family gatherings for years. When we went to plan our wedding rehearsal dinner, it was an easy decision. The Thompson family made catering easy with their delicious food and fantastic service. Our family had the best time. The kegs we picked up for our wedding were a huge hit. I can't thank them enough for the memories we've had here. read more

Looking for a Diamond in the ruff? You've found it here! Great family game night concept, many board games and cards available at every table. Their open layout is like walking into the arms of your family you haven't seen in a while. Their story of stardom is chronicled on creative plaques on the walls. Great selection of perfectly brewed craft beers reasonably priced. I ordered fried pickles, onion rings, chili cheese fries, along with the Pub burger witch was cooked to Perfection! Not dryly overdone but Not raw! I usually have to ask for such a masterfully made creation but this one was just right without all my picky request. Comes with chopped bacon (instead of 2strips that you would usually find at other places) so I got bacon in EVERY BITE! the pickled red onions was a delightful surprise, the bun was beautifully crafted to compliment the beef. But I must say Nothing compared to the family which all took the time to personally speak to everyone and make you feel like you are part of their family, which made EVERYTHING taste better. They also have available for your happiness canning, so you can take home your favorite beers! Unbelievable Jalapeno sauce! Everything fried to Perfection! Mac & Cheese Waffle is Spectacular... Friendly Attentive staff. Nice variety of different craft beer. Great environment seating is comfortable. If I could I would definitely give More than 5 read more

Food was great and was more of a family vibe going on. Something I feel like you don't see in breweries as much. Tons of games to play and great family ran place. Will be going back for more. read more

MIND BLOWN. First off the beer is really good. Secondly the food is soooooo good you could forget your at a brewery. Really, really creative great beer. Stupid good food. My baby had her first food tear I would give 10 stars if they had them......Go here read more

Great beer, great food, great ambiance, great owners. The beer here is top notch and a wide variety at that. Highly recommend the ESB. My wife loved the Belgian Tripel. Excellent food as well. The ambiance is great, more family oriented and well lit than you've come to expect from a brew pub. Very accommodating for kids, if you need to get out for a beer and are taking your family this is the place to go. They have games and comics for the kiddos so you can relax and really enjoy the top notch beer. The chipotle burger was on point, you should try it. read more

Love this place! Great for kids and great food! We went tonight for the first time and all 4 of our kids had a great time. It's so nice to actually enjoy our food while the kids are entertained by all the things they have to do. Nice job Thompson Brewing. We will be back many times! read more

I really liked the old location, but this new spot feels wierd...Where do I start?...expensive...tax not inluded...menu prisey...counter serving cumbersome...too bright...unimagitve decore...tables, tables, tables...no bar...awkward to meet and talk to people...I waited a long time for this opening...Disapointed...Go to Wicks...Much better... read more

This is my favorite place for a good burger and fun ! The bacon ranch burger is by far the best I've ever tried ! The ranch here is soooo delicious as well as their tots . I recommend !! read more

Thompson Brewing is my new favorite place! Our family tried this place on a whim and I had the BEST burger I've had in years! Each of the 4 beers we tried were first-rate. The staff was incredibly friendly, personal and welcoming. We couldn't believe how cool the games and toys were for our kids to play with while we relaxed and visited. We enjoyed a tour, an excellent dinner, delicious beer, great quality-time with our family, and lots of fun playing games together. read more

Awesome. Great space (downstairs, upstairs, and outside seating), AMAZING food (seriously, try EVER-Y-THING), a little area for small kids to play (downstairs), board games, darts, a stand with comic books, and just a relaxing casual place to hang with friends. read more

This is the bestest in the westest place!!! We love coming here because the beers are really good, food is great! Super friendly staff! Plus it's kids friendly !!! read more

We LOVE this place!! The owners remember us when we come in and are always so friendly and take the time to talk to us! And the BEST tasting beers I've ever had!! Also the food is to die for, for sure my favorite cheeseburger now!! read more

Can't say anything negative about this place. The beer is always top notch and the new menu is excellent. The burgers are off the chart delicious. Great service from this family run business. read more

We attended a private event at Thompson Brewing and had a wonderful time. The selection of quality beer was second to none. I tried both Amber and Brown ales and was really happy with them all. We were served chicken wings, pretzels, burgers and brats. Everything was delicious and satisfying. We will be back. We especially like the fact this was a family business and the Thompson's are warm and genuine people. We wish them well at their new location. read more

This is a GREAT little brewery (that's growing) - the owners are incredibly friendly and wonderful. Their beers are well made and tasty. My wife and I have dropped in several times and have had great beers and great conversation with Brian and Martha. Highly recommended. The ONLY problem is that they are a bit hidden! Don't despair, just make sure to cruise through the area and you'll find them! read more

Great spot in Riverside. Loved that it's family owned and super family-friendly with lots of games and activities for the kids. Service was great, but most importantly the beers and the food will keep us coming back. Along with the fact our kids said "that place was awesome" read more

We will go back for sure. Food was great... blue cheese burger was good but the brat was awesome. Enjoyed the pretzel buns and pickled onions on both items. Tried two flights of beer and really enjoyed a couple and noticed they were out of a few that we might like. We really appreciate finding good beer and food. The stand in line to order is the only down side, but we were through the line quickly and servers were able to answer questions while we were order so that was nice and all the staff was very friendly. Family friendly atmosphere with family style seating and lots of games. read more

Trying the place for the first time with my family. I am very pleased with this Brewing company that is family friendly. They have many games and toys for children of all ages. As for the food we ordered a salad, pub burger, fries filled cheese sandwich, and a loaded chili fries. As for drinks they brew 12 different beers and their own in house made root beer and cream soda. The staff is family and their focus is helping you enjoy yourself. The brewing company is 2 story with dart games upstairs with additional seating. In the restroom they have a diaper disposal container, I cannot stress very family friendly focus here. read more

We've been here several times now, there are always lots of styles available. Currently 18 flavors of beer plus cream soda! Some times they have root beer. All the beers I've had here have been very good with no off flavors. The food is always very good too. Some times they switch up the menu and their specials are a nice surprise and always good. Very good French fries. A great family owned and operated business. Good music that doesn't cause headaches! If you can't find a flavor of beer here that you like you should switch to wine! read more

Food is really good! Staff was very accommodating and even hooked us up with a free appetizer and tasters. They have a shit ton of beers to choose from. I had a black ipa and red.. damn! it was on point. Highly recommend my new favorite brewery in Riverside. read more

We went here for the first time the other night and had a Great time. We had a group of 7 People. We had dinner and Brews. All of the food we had was very good. The Staff is very friendly and helpful. We started with the Sampler to try a little of everything. We found that the Irish Red Ale and the Amber were very good. I am going to go back to buy some for home. After ordering about 6 pitchers and staying till closing we were ready to go home. They have a log of fun games to play with a group like Catch Phrase. The only feedback I would give is the interior decorating lacks compared to some of the other breweries in town. It feels like we were in a lunchroom. Add a little spice to the environment and this place would be perfect. I would definitely recommend this place for the good food and Tasty Brews. Good to see a family owned business as well. read more

We have been waiting for the Grand RE-Opening of Thompson Brewing Company and it is as expected...wonderful! Highly recommend! The brew is great this family owned business is extremely special! Don't miss this one it will be worth visiting over and over again! read more
