I've been here a few times, I live in the area. The food is amazing but tonight I was incredibly disappointed by the service. I won't be going back. I am Someone that tips a minimum of 20%. Consistently. Tonight was the first time I did not tip on a bill. That is how bad the service was. The person next to me commented that it was like I was invisible. read more

Best espresso in town! I would have never expected it from a brewery, but hey, good for them, why not keep Dunkin's dollars away from them. Good service, cool ambiance, Broadway suddenly looks like a hip area. read more

Horrible service. Yelp said they were open until midnight, but turned me away at 11:15 while other people were sitting at the bar drinking. It did seem moderately busy with people still drinking. read more

Good beer, good food and friendly efficient service. I went after work. Tried a couple beers. I really liked the Somerville specific. I got the grilled cheese sandwich. 3 cheeses and tomato. Sourdough bread held up well to the gooey cheese. The kicker is you can get a crowler to go of your favorite beer! read more

Their beer selection is just meh and the reason for the 3*. I don't know what else to say about it other than it's just boring IPAs and ales (and I like most types of beer). Food is good! They have a small menu but everything I've had has been tasty. It's always crowded and loud when I go. They have outdoor space so there's room to spread out on nicer days. They also have a small parking lot, which is convenient if you can find a spot... read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch, got the chickpea sandwich with fries and the Hourglass double IPA. Everything was delicious, friendly service, relaxed atmosphere, reasonable prices. Parking was a little tricky but I found a street spot. Will be back when I'm in the area. read more

Winter Hill Brewing - Hourglass DIPA, chickpea burger with tzatziki and rosemary fries. - Breweries Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

They have 6 rotating beers on tap, which were a diverse selection on their own (1 porter, 1 ale, 1 IPA, etc). With that being said, 6 beers on tap didn't feel too extensive. The House Cream Ale was super drinkable and light, tasty but not particularly remarkable. The food menu was small but my friends and I all enjoyed what we ordered. I had the lamb burger with tzatziki, pickled red onions and greens on a English muffin, which was really flavorful and moist. The side of rosemary parmesan fries were good as well. My friends had the grilled cheese with ham, and the Cubano (the pork was a bit dry in this one). Overall, it's a nice addition to Winter Hill and was a decent place to grab a low key meal. read more

The place is OK. I was disappointed with their small beer selection and their Darlings IPA at $7 tastes not as good as many IPAs I can buy in a can, including Sam Adams. That is what they need to work on. read more

The cauliflower app was HOT but good! Our beers were good. The burgers were a little dry, but tasty . The mixed greens with the burger was a welcome change. The coleslaw was a huge portion and tasty. We'll be back! read more

I love Winter Hill Brewing and will never stop being a customer. They are a great neighborhood brewery that also does coffee and some breakfast stuff. I will say though, I liked the food a lot better before Scott Brothers came in. Not that it isn't good, but everything is just a bit 'too much' or too edgy and has some fancy pork in it. I think I just miss some of the simpler things they have on the menu, but still love the place. read more

Good beer selection (obviously) and very reasonably priced delicious food. I recommend the Cuban. Staff seems friendly and helpful, and you can sit wherever you want! read more

Came here for a coffee and some breakfast, was in a rush debated to get a sandwich, and I saw they only offered a breakfast sandwich and didnt think it would take thay long, the chef took 15-20 mins to make, just to clarify, there is only the sandwich on the menu, nothing else, so basically there was two people ahead of me and he made the sandwiches one by one. Coffee and sandwich was alright. Not worth the wait, maybe it is my mistake thinking it was a quick and easy place, but everyone else I saw got takeout, there was two girls ahead of me only. read more

Solid local craft beer with a small but good menu... Area is challenging but give them a chance

Been going there for a year now, only because it's the closest to my place. The food is overpriced and not filling. You can sometimes get lucky with a friendly waiter or waitress but the rest suck. After a year, I still can't get a hello back from the barista. And a waiter was just plain rude today. So even though this is the only cafe/bar within a 20-min walk, I'll walk farther just to have some decent human being taking my order who doesn't act like this is the first time they've seen me there. read more

If your looking for a great local to catch up with some friends or just to break away from the chain and or played out spot this is it. The food hits the F's hard Fresh, Fun, Flavorful & Fantastic. The spicy Korean Brussels Sprouts are a gift to your mouth , the Cubano explodes with flavor that makes you want to slap Fedel and the rosemary parm hand cut fries... Really the name says enough. Couldn't imagine this place being better AND THEN I tried the Hard Coffee WTF no seriously WTF. How do you marry a stout and cold brewed coffee to find a land of AMAZING. If you havent been here yet I have to ask, why do you hate yourself that much? In the immortal words of NIKE... just Do It. read more

Winter Hill Brewing has been on my list of 'must stop at' since they opened. As a California resident who visits Boston 2+ times a year, I always make having a good meal and a few delicious beers here a priority. Their staff is always so friendly, their beers just get better every time, and the food never fails to hit the spot. I suggest the easy-drinking House Ale and the Grilled Cheese for sustenance. I've never had to drive here, but parking seems to be limited, so take that into account before you visit! They have clear parking instructions on their website, if I'm not mistaken. read more

Winter Hill Brewing - Always such a beautiful sight! - Breweries Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

It's about damn time winter hill got a place like this! Breakfast: The bagels are insanely delicious. I don't think I've ever had such a perfectly toasted/salted/cream cheesed bagel as here. Just the right amount of everything. The salt bagels are especially delicious. Also happen to love the yogurt and granola- so good! Oh and the coffee....fuhhgettaboutit Beer: Haven't tried them all but the house ale is yummy and light, love that they have pitchers too! Dinner: I've basically tried all the apps, the brussel sprouts I could eat forever. Mac and cheese and fries were amazing too. Can't wait to try everything else on the menu! read more

Great beer, fantastic vibe and the new menu from Scott Brothers is incredibly delicious, super fun and a great value. Can't wait to go back!

We stopped here today hoping to sit outside with our dog...we cut through the inside to get to the deck (as there was no outside access) and an employee rudely said "You can't bring dogs in here". I told him we just wanted to sit on the deck and he said we couldn't. I think that is a silly rule, but ok. My issue was with 1) how rude the employee was. He could have explained this more politely 2) they have a sign that service dogs are allowed, but he didn't say that to us. I know sometimes restaurants can't directly ask if your animal is a service animal, but he should have mentioned that service animals are welcome. read more

This place is DOPE.. friggen rules bub, sign me the frig up. Staff is smokin' almost as friggen smokin' as the smoked rye Ryan the Terrible. Don't even get me started on their brussel sprouts, get in my belly. And that friggen guy Bert? 7/10. Playlists? Friggen stellar. Them coasters? Hand friggen stamped. read more

Super impressed by the whole set up given that they just opened. Staff was great, beer was diverse and delicious, and the food exceeded expectations. Hit up some fried pickles and the grilled cheese. Awesome addition to the neighborhood, and I hope they get loads of love for bringing such goodness to an otherwise pretty dreary stretch on Broadway. read more

Welcome, welcome, Winter Hill Brewing! We Prospect Hill folk are very pleased to have you in the neighborhood. Assembled a crew and waited in line for opening night--well worth it. The staff were friendly though frazzled, and we were all happy to be there. The space is pretty cool; did you know it used to be a cellphone shop? Trust me, you won't think so when you get there. Though sparsely decorated, it's still tasteful and comfortable. They've so far underestimated the power of a chalkboard listing beers on tap--menus were in short supply, but we all managed. My favorite of the beers so far is the house cream ale. I think we went through a few pitchers of it. We tried nearly all the food on the menu, and the kimchi brussel sprouts are king. The fried pickles were also great, and whatever sauce was being served with it was wicked good. Chef Samantha Kerivan brings comfort food to a whole new level! The french fries could be crispier (I always love a crispy fry), but that may have been more related to how in demand they were. Although there only seemed to be two kitchen staff, they hustled the hell out of it. I can't wait until the patio opens. This is going to be a glorious summer drinking spot. read more

Great neighborhood brewery. Beer is good and food is even better. Outdoor seating is great in the summer and they often have comedy and other live events. read more

They should call it Winner Hill Brewing because this place is totally winning. The Buffalo cauliflower wings are delicious. Meat eaters and vegetarians alike enjoy them. All of the guests in my party also devoured the spicy Korean Brussels sprouts. Good draft beer list. Crowded Friday night scene. The bartenders were very attentive. read more

I recently tried their saison and pulled pork sliders, both were delicious! Not to mention there's a PokeStop right outside. :)

When you first walk in, you see 3 huge vats of beer and you know it's going to be a great place. I sat at the bar with two of my friends and we ordered some IPAs and honestly they were all great. Personally, I think Darlin's IPA and Frequency Kolsch was great. The customer service was awesome because they were so attentive and were prompt to refill when needed. I didn't order any food, but my friends did and they both agreed their apps were great. They had brussel sprouts and fried pickles. Super yum! read more

Delicious beer and food! Try the lamb burger and rosemary fries! Beer was some of the best we've had in the area. Friendly beertenders as well! read more

The IPA, Cream Ale, and Russian Imperial Stout were excellent. It will be 5 stars when they start to sell growlers and get the permit for the outside space. The staff service and beer knowledge was 5 stars for sure. Get here early, opening day had a long line to get in by 5:30pm. read more

It's alright. Good atmosphere and bratwurst was good. Burger was undercooked. Fries were a bit burned but large portion. Service was fast and courteous. Beer was good, had a light pale ale. If you're not into ale you really have nothing to chose from. Prices are fair. I might be back. Cool concept. Seating outside is nice but way too close to high traffic road. read more

Love this being around the corner from my current home, makes me sad to be moving to Medford soon, kinda. But the beer is great especially the House and the Russian! read more

Winter Hill Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

A large group of us stopped by at 4:30 on a Saturday, and there was already a line out the door! We didnt have to wait too long to get in, but we did wait about 45 minutes for a table. They were great about updating us on the timing and were very apologetic about the wait. We grabbed a few beers in the meantime, which was the whole reason we were there! We were really pleased with the beer selection. The Darlin's IPA was my personal favorite, but there's something here for everyone. Black IPA, Imperial Stout, Cream Ale. The house ale was just okay, in my opinion, but that's fine. The food also exceeded expectations. I had an absolutely delicious grilled cheese with bacon and rosemary french fries. We also tried the cubano and the fried pickles, both superb. The mac and cheese, however, was not nearly as good as the other food we tried. Overall, highly recommend! Have some patience, as they're definitely still working out the kinks, but I have faith this place is only going to get better. read more

Went there today with my brother. Arrived a little bit late but they was very nice to welcome us in. It was both our first time in a brewery. The woman who served us was very nice and welcoming enough to give us some samples. we order some beers after. The place was curtesy, fun vibes and just the place I'm going to come back to.Can't wait to go back there again. read more

Winter Hill's beer is decent, but it's a real trek to get here if you're not a local, and I'm not convinced it's worth the effort? They only have 5ish beer options with no flights available (which is a major negative for me- why wouldn't you want your customers to sample more than one or two of your offerings?). I tried their DIPA, cream ale, and saison, and none were anything particularly special but all were just fine (my preferred of the trio being the cream ale, it was crisp and clean). The boy got the pulled pork sliders which he also found fine, no major complaints. The space is nice and clean with a decent patio, but feels more like a coffee bar than a tap room (which it is in the AM). Our bartender was quite nice, and the music selection was pretty funny but didn't seem to fit with the vibe (old school Destiny's Child). Overall, not bad, but probably best if you're already in the area. read more

Always a great experience here, the beers and food are great and the servers are even better. Bethany and Eric went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. read more

Awesome place. Beer is changed out pretty regularly, so yes, there are only six or so on tap at a time but if you wait a week or two there will be something new. One of the servers here may legitimately be the most perfectly beautiful woman I've ever seen, so they've got that going for them. She's like nine feet tall and looks like she fell off the VS runway. The atmosphere is great and really laid back. You can get samples if you want to try before you commit, but no flights. Fries are my only complaint. They're either way overcooked (but somehow still not crispy?), or really undercooked and floppy. But again, they're a brewery so I'm not coming for the fries. Also, the lamb burger is really small. I guess it's because its lamb and that's more expensive than plain beef, but one small patty on an english muffin is not worth $13. read more

The food is just okay, but THE BEER IS PHENOMENAL. The floor-to-ceiling windows and its location right along the street lend an air of openness to the space, and it's patio gives you one of the best twilight views of any bar in Somerville. Did I mention they're open very early and serve up terrific iced coffees? Don't mess with the Double IPA unless your palate is ready to be delighted ;). read more

I am only here for beer and they got some good fresh stuff. Their list isn't as robust as the other breweries but what they have is worth it. Good prices. What makes them stand out from other breweries is the kitchen. The menu is simple bar food, sandwiches and small bites to eat. read more

Our server Eric was SO friendly and easy going! One of the female employees with curly dark hair was beyond rude and disrespectful to me and my friends. Every table around us was given a 15 minute warning before the 90 minute limit, however, we were approached and told to leave even with food on the table with no warning. She was extremely condescending and targeted our table even though there were MULTIPLE available tables surrounding us. Get some manners. read more

So fun! Cubano sweet potato fries- chili..amazing! Loved the atmosphere! Beautiful spring night in February! The staff was amazing, attentive, and very pleasant! Can't wait to go back and hang on the patio! Easy to get to, no probs with parking either! read more
