Stopped by for a coffee, it's a great space for a weekend AM. Lots of space some good music on tap and nice people watching on Broadway. The latte was expertly made and broadsheet beans are a great local roaster. read more

As a New Yorker visiting Boston I was delighted to stumble across this excellent local brewery that is open for breakfast - lattes and egg sandwiches and pastries -- and gives off Cobble Hill (Brooklyn, IYKYK) vibes -- super casual and actually of the neighborhood, politicians come once a month for open "office hours" to chat with constituents. Menu is blissfully limited and pastries are fresh and gorgeous (i had a cranberry orange muffin I'd call juicy and fluffy!) you order at a counter, pick up and go to one of the not-too-many seats. Clearly a neighborhood joint it is absolutely 100% local. read more

Beers are generally solid, staff is friendly. Food is (usually?) BBQ from a local vendor, and it's pretty good. I've also had their breakfast sandwich one weekend morning and it was lethal in the best way: hash browns, cheese, runny egg... drool. This place is a little bit outside of an easy walk for me so I don't feel very often but if someone recommended it I would pop over. read more

Came here for trivia (Thursdays at 7:30!), and it was pretty packed. Luckily we were able to snag a table and ordered some beers. The workers are all very nice and there's a real sense of community here! A very homey and welcoming spot. The latkes were also delicious- tangy, savory, and not too greasy. I also highly recommend the pretzel, which had a nice bite to it, and came with delicious sauces and amazing pickled beets! read more

Great atmosphere! We sat at the bar and the staff was nice and joked around but also let us gab. The food was YUM. the burrito was so filling so i'd like to try the sandwiches next. The beer was also good. I'm warming up to IPAs and their johnny juice didn't have the weird an after teste but was still hazy. i also liked the seltzer which was nice and and not tooooo carbonated like popular seltzer cans. the brunch crowd was nice and we had timely service :)) thanks winterhill! read more

tl;dr great spot whether you're in the mood for an afternoon work session or drinks with your friends. Will be back! My partner and I went to Winter Hill Brewing Co on a rainy Saturday afternoon after spotting it on Google Maps. Once inside, we were warmly greeted by the bartender and provided a menu of both food and drink. We ended up opting for a flight of beers to try out the selection, and wow: every single one was a hit! Usually, in a flight of 4 beers, you don't get hits on all 4, but that's what happened. While their beers rotate, both the Sun Buzz IPA and Hot Garbage Passion Fruit Seltzer were part of the mix. Not to mention that the bartender was super informative and friendly. We got some food, specifically the Kimchi Latkes, which were tasty as well, though the beers were the highlight. They also serve coffee which we'll have to try at a later time. The ambiance was balanced for any occasion. Some other patrons were working on laptops when we arrived around 3pm, and by the time we'd left by 6pm, several tables were occupied with friends meeting up for drinks and/or families getting some food too. I'll absolutely be back. I'm glad to have such a friendly spot nearby! read more

Come for Wednesday fried chicken!!! We had the best time! We had a group of 6 and ordered the chicken sandwich & chicken platters. All were delicious. It wasn't the best fried chicken I've had but it was very good. The mac and cheese was sooo cheesy. Loved it. Biscuits were also delicious. I had the sun buzz, lil hoppy, quite good. We stayed a while and the service was great. Will be back! read more

Just Ok I have been here just once since they have opened, and liked it very much. The waitstaff especially were very pleasant and helpful. The food was delicious and unique. This is definitely a place that I will come to again and again, and do so appreciate that they are in my neighborhood. Beer is below average. Thanks read more

I used to live in this neighborhood. It was nice to visit my old stomping grounds and see this business thriving. It was a cold and snowy Saturday but people were still at the brewery! We walked in dressed like assholes for a concert we were going to that night. People barely flinched. Love how accepting Somerville folk are. Cozy interior. Friendly staff. Plenty of choices for beer. I didn't have any beer so no comment there but I did have the mac & cheese. Tasty, creamy and loaded with I believe panko on top. I loved the crunch element. It just wasn't the best I have ever had but enjoyed it on that snowy day. I would have it again! True score: 3.5 read more

Out of the 4 within a mile or so of each other, Winter Hill's the earliest to close. We luckily made it just before closing and I ordered the Johnny Juice. I'm told this is their staple draft and unlike the several IPAs I had until now, it was very juicy! We also appreciate the glasses of water. They do serve some snacks and food, but kitchen was closed when we arrived. read more

After one dine-in experience and 2 takeout experiences, here's my rating, 3.7 out of 5 stars. Food: The biscuit was delicious. I was just disappointed that only half a biscuit is included with a full rack of ribs when it's included at all. Pork ribs are good, solid ribs! They're well cooked but not fall off the bone. There's a slight spice that builds as you eat. The pickles are sweet with some heat. The mac & cheese is ok, noodles were very over cooked, the cheese sauce was clumpy. One thing I was super taken aback by was the lack of kid friendly options, no fries. We asked for the hot dog plain for our 4 year old and were surprised to find that the sausage was spicy, it had what seemed like mustard seeds in it. Very surprised by this given the amount of children I see here all the time. Beer is good. I've tried the hot trash which despite the name is delicious and refreshing. Nice space and atmosphere, very low key and chill. A great neighborhood hangout spot. read more

Easy to get to by bus or walking. Some parking but I'd recommend walk or T. Great spot during nice weather to have a couple drinks & sit outside. Personally I like having few beers and couples slices from Mamma Lisa's after! read more

if you haven't been - you should go. Good beer friendly staff, good times abound. Great patio as well read more

The brewmaster is very skilled, and the staff are friendly and accommodating. The kitchen serves inventive and well composed meals. I particularly love the eggplant milanesa torta on Fridays. I won't suggest a particular beer because everyone likes the style they like. Order a style you typically enjoy, and I suspect you'll be impressed... that said the Sour Rustic Charm farmhouse ale is crazy good. read more

Good beer, great lattes, tasty snacks, chill staff, bumpin' Thursday night trivia. This place is a beacon of light in an otherwise barren area of winter hill in terms of bars/restaurants right now read more

I like to stop by on Friday afternoons for lunch and a cold one Never been disappointed with the food or the portions Staff is very friendly and will answer any questions about the food or the brews Also, I often eat alone and I've never felt rushed to give up my table. I loved the smoked chicken salad, which I haven't seen on the menu the last few times Friday specials are always yummy read more

I was super surprised to learn there was food here, but definitely pleasantly surprised! We stopped in for late afternoon beers and were starving so ordered some sandwiches, all of which were delicious. Staff is friendly and helpful- bringing me samples when I was stuck between two beers- and the space is cozy. Beer itself wasn't anything out of the ordinary, but very solid drinking beer. read more

This place has the BEST service ever! The beer couldn't have been brewed better. Food from Ian is scrumptious and tasted great. Our server Rachael went above and beyond to ensure our experience was perfect. The ambience only added to the amazing vibes of the day. Cool music, nice people, sports on tv, and overall fun! I love it here and will recommend it to all my family and friends. Shoutout to Sam for the superb coffee. read more

Local brewery that has recently much improved their food game. Used to be bottom tier boring sandwiches, but has stepped it up with some pretty great things. Beer has always been solid, but definitely visiting more now that the food matches the quality. read more

Highly recommend. Fun spot to grab a bite and a beer! Their food menu is overall quite good - I especially enjoy the Parmesan fries and the spicy brussel sprouts. The fried cauliflower is quite good as well - but sometimes it's cut a little too large so some pieces end up under cooked. I like their sour beers when they have them on tap, but they could have a little more oomph! My husband loves their IPAs. For dinner I'll typically get the grilled cheese with bacon, and my husband raves about their Cubano. read more

My biggest regret was not having a larger stomach! A wonderful variety of beer and a seriously understated menu. We regrettably passed this place up the 1st time because we were looking for a meal and "read a book by its cover" with the menu looking like simple standard pub food...it was anything but...the food was so impressive I was torn on reviewing to keep it a secret or praise it for the understated treasure it truly is! The beer is impressive on its own but paired perfectly are the creative dishes found only second to a visit to Alice In Wonderland...creative genius! We enjoyed the savory pretzel bites along with some creamy, spicy dips. Then onto a salad and a loaded Mac bowl. The Mac bowl was an adventure not to be missed with every ingredient standing strongly as its own dish. Don't be fooled by the casual menu...this is a not to be missed speak easy of Massachusetts read more

Great for breakfast & dinner. Lattes are perfect with Bagel & Eggs. Not a fan of the IPAs they have but that's just my personal opinion. They're a little short on space when you compare it to their popularity. Limited parking as well, but that's not a big deal as you can find some parking around 300-400m away. read more

I used to live in Somerville many years ago and there was no place as cool as the Winter Hill Brewing. We sat at the bar and immediately engaged with the bartender. The beer is fabulous. And the food menu was stupendous. I will dream about the kimchi latkes and the Moroccan chickpea bowl are unique in the best possible way. We will be back for falafel and coffee. read more

Came here to check out some live music during a festival in Somerville and was really impressed by the overall vibes of the place. But apart from the spacious seating arrangements both inside and outside and the delicious selection of beers, this place really stood out to me for the following reasons: 1. They have their own espresso machine AND can make almond milk lattes until at least 2 PM. This was really a life savor for me as both the brunch place I went to earlier that day at an apple farm and the bakery across the street did not offer coffee! This was an exciting win in my book. 2. They offer booster seats, how kid friendly is that. This place really supports strong family values and helped us our in a bind with my friends 14 month old daughter. 3. If beer is not your thing, order a refreshing seltzer! And not just any seltzer, but the fancy kind including bubbly (love that brand!) 4. If you prefer biking as you main mode of transportation, rest assured you can leave it here unattended and at least the culture here supports that no one will steal it! Coming from New York I trust no one but felt that was a good sign to say the least. 5. Great selection of live music! read more

Super friendly and accommodating... and their coffee is the best I've had in a long time.

I recently relocated to Somerville with my daughter, and we wandered into Winter Hill Brewing for lunch. The food was outstanding (that egg bahn mi is fantastic), and the beer was great. MOST importantly...they were playing literally all Guided By Voices song for the entire time I was there. I mean, DEEP CUTS FROM EPs. I love them to death, and almost told the waitress this but realized that would be creepy so I didn't. Anyway, you should go there and eat because the food is awesome and the soundtrack is great, and the wait staff is super nice. read more

Good beer, nice staff, pleasant outdoor space.

Upon entering our party was met by Eric. The vibe is rustic and sophisticated, the food was fresh and delicious. We ordered the Beef burgers and organic salad. A jewel in Somerville. This was a pleasant experience. read more

Stopped in starving after a nearby doctor appointment at noon that I had to fast for. I ordered a cappuccino and chicken salad roll, not expecting much given it's primarily a brew pub. There were clearly some regulars around and the place was about half full. The coffee guy at the counter wasn't too friendly, didn't make eye contact, but man, that was a GOOD cappuccino: perfect temperature, perfect froth, excellent strong espresso with absolutely no bitterness. Better than some recent fancy coffeshop capps I've had. I forgive him but maybe he'll look up once I become a regular lol? The chicken salad was tasty, fresh, with cranberries and walnuts or something similar, not too mayo-y. I'll be back with the bf to try some of their brews! read more

Great local brewery, usually not too crowded, super nice staff. Good burger too! Wish they had fries...

Nice little modern steel beer meets espresso at the edge of Somerville. Kitchen was closed by the time that we arrived, but I think that we will return later in the week. I liked that they offered non alcoholic drinks for me to enjoy and loved the spicy, local Ginger Beer whos name escapes me. Genuinely friendly cicerone Eric was a highlight. read more

Went there on fried chicken day and was blown away by the sandwich and biscuit. Would go back just for that.

Biked around Boston and stopped by this brewery in Somerville. Was really glad we stopped by! They have an outdoor standing patio that had live music performances that Saturday. They don't have an overwhelming tap list so getting a flight was easy -- they do require at least two people present to share a flight. Food was pretty standard, but all fresh and fast. Be ready to fight your way to the bar counter as it goes get crowded! Great brewery and I'd stop by again. read more

We wanted to love this place!! We live in the neighborhood and were excited about a brewery in walking distance. The beers we tried were pretty bad..as was the soft pretzel. Cute outdoor seating, so maybe we'll be back to try some other items read more

This place confused me and was just overall too small for its own good. It'd be better suited to be a pure pub/brewery format rather than trying to sell food too. The environment made it hard to get a table/seat and then get food. Waited about 30 min to get a counter spot and you could see people who were there ahead of us were confused about how to get a spot--you have to put your name up on the blackboard. The servers were really accommodating given the situation but it was not really staffed to serve food. Ordered the burger w/o a bun, the bf got a burger w/ fries, and we split mac n cheese. Food was tasty and fresh but nothing special. Fries were hand cut but not as crispy as I like them. Burger was well seasoned and cooked to specification. Overall I think I would have enjoyed coming here just to drink or coming to eat at a different time when it's less slammed. read more
