There for the first time for trivia. Let's begin with the burger: touted as the "best" in Florida or Manatee, or something. I wanted Medium Rare, was told they do 'Pink' or 'Not-Pink,' so of course I went with the 'Pink' option. Burger came out well-done as all hell. Burnt to a crisp. Mac & Cheese: menu specifically says it comes with bacon. One table-mate ordered it...and it came missing the bacon. 20 minutes later, another person ordered it, making a point of mentioning to the server both the menu description, as well as the previous absence of bacon. When the bill came, we were charged a dollar for "extra bacon," said bacon being what should have been in the frigging mac & cheese to begin with. The menu looks awesome, the descriptions of the food look awesome. The actual reality of the food brought to table leaves a lot to be desired. The beer was great. The cider was great. So, well done on the 'brewery' aspect. I just have some serious problems with the food. To further exemplify my issue: I do lots of bar trivia...my average bill for 2 people at most places is around $50-60. At 3 Keys, it was $80...$100 with tip. $100 with all those egregious food issues?!? Probably not going to go back. At least not for a meal. Maybe for a beer. read more

I hosted an event of 40+ people here. From the reservation process to the simplicity of having multiple checks, the service was impeccable and friendly. The variety of the menu and delicious food was just icing on the cake. Thanks, 3 Keys Brewing for a wonderful evening! read more

Best burger I have ever had bro. Like juiciest, cooked EXACTLY how I asked for it and so tasty! Def be back soon my little 4 legged guys again read more

We play trivia on Tuesdays quite frequently, Orie and Kaitlyn are amazing servers and make us feel very welcome.

Beer, Cider, and Food... what is there not to like here? Our first time here was just for drinks but their menu of uniqueness definitely had us wanting to make the drive back down soon after... which we did twice already! With new beer and cider selections each time. They have these awesome and giant waffle sandwiches you have to experience. Check it out! read more

We tried the You're My Boy Blu burger (smash style) and it was excellent. Fries (luke warm) and salad (not fans of arugula) were just ok. We also tried all 3 of their IPA's. The mosaic was fair - not a ton of flavor and almost soapy, the Citra Sunrise came in at #2 with more flavor and hops. Our favorite of the 3 was the Blood Thirst with far more flavor of a typical IPA. It's a double but not crazy at only 7.7 ABV. The service was fair but we managed to time it just right. They seemed to get very busy after we sat down (first come, first serve) and only appeared to have 2 servers on. We sat at the bar for this reason but it looked like outdoors would have been nice if they had been more prepared! We'll certainly stop by again if we happen by! read more

Got the bradentucky burger for lunch, because why wouldn't I? Burger topped with pulled pork and beer cheese and bbq sauce? Right up my alley. But what came out looked more like pate' then beer cheese. Maybe it's my fault for not understanding what I was getting, but I have gotten beer cheese at many places and it's melty cheese and tastes delicious. This was just pink chunky goop. It didn't taste good and it looked worse. I actually just scraped it off and didn't bother eating more than one taste. Once I got it off, the rest of the burger was okay. Nothing special, but not bad either. The grilled veggies I got were okay, but really oily. It was essentially a 3 star meal but the excessive oily veggies and pink brain matter or whatever it was is causing me to remove a star. Service was very good. You order at the bar and they bring it out to you. Friendly, and very quick. Big outdoor patio but only a couple individual tables. Otherwise they have long family style benches. Didn't try the beer. Not a beer drinker. And since I didn't love the food, I don't think I'll be back. read more

I ordered from Grubhub, a double smash burger with an upcharge for onion rings. Well, they gave me the french fries instead (probably to save them 50 cents) and the smash burger wasn't well done, it was black and crispy burnt! I gave them the benefit of the doubt and after talking to two uncaring or didn't give f$$^# people I gave up. I stopped there in person a couple of weeks ago and tried the taco's...needed a sauce or moisture, we asked for sour cream, etc but they should have done a better job, who likes a dry taco?? read more

The fish is the best!!!!! This is the 2nd time that my husband and I have had it. They need to change there marquee that Says best fish inssteaf of best burger. My only complaint is it needs a little more seasoning ( salt ). Loved that it is battered instead of breaded.Also one of the order was supposed to have onion rings. We ordered online and it was ready within 20 minutes. My husband actually left the house before I finished the order, we live about 15 20 minutes away. Over-all we will definitely order again....just bummer on the onion rings. read more

3 Keys was a treat! Food was excellent bar Dodd and staff was very helpful. The cheese curds are a must try. Enjoyed all the beers I tried!! If you find yourself in Bradenton go have yourself a fun filled afternoon at this Brewery.. and eat yourself a fabulous lunch read more

I just had to try this brewery just a mile from my place. The beers are all brewed right there and they let you sample before committing. Classy move! The IPA I chose was outstanding. More surprising was the food. I ordered their quasi Cuban sandwich and it was fresh and tasty. Service was also fast. Great place to spend a couple of hours. read more

As breweries go, this is a very active one. Usually busy, but a lot of seating, inside and out. Service is usually good. Friendly staff. Food comes pretty quickly and is good. A nice beer selection, and a few ciders sometimes. More in the summers and warmer weather. They have a couple of wines also. No hard liquor. New owner changed around a LOT! Improvements made all around, from ambiance to the menu. Menu has broadened. Prices are reasonable. They have a patio with picnic tables under cover in front and a stage with outside seating with a bar out back. Live events scheduled. They have different games different evenings, like bingo and trivia. Good place for a local brewery. read more

Food: burger not "pink", overcooked. Service: waitress was fine, manager Brad could use some customer service training. He was unnecessarily rude. No one asked to talk to a manager. Rather than apologize for the issues we had, he said if we didn't like it, we could go somewhere else. Ambiance: Plenty of space for the group but won't be back. read more

The flight we tried was great! The holiday mead is aaaamazing! Lots of really good beer. Food is meh, but let's be honest..no one goes to a brewery for food so it's appropriate to pair with their great beer. One thing I thought was weird is that they don't have french fries on the menu! An essential pub food! That kind of blew my mind. We tried the nachos, they were good but next time I'll order them with the salsa on the side- it was too much. My daughter hated her Alfredo pasta and my other daughter thought the Mac and cheese was ok. read more

I really wanted to give 5 stars but when I look at the overall quality, the food is lacking slightly. The atmosphere, staff, and the beer are all great and we loved that we happened to show up on bingo night, which was a lot of fun. The first beer I asked for was the red sour and o was told they didn't want to serve it because it still tastes like the previous beer that was in that spot. Can't complain considering I like that they told me and didn't serve me a beer they weren't proud of. The Fun Guy Burger was average but I enjoyed the toppings more. The IPA pickles were tasty enough for me to eat them without anything else. I also loved the mushrooms that topped the burger. Overall, the bun and burger itself were average at best. I definitely wasn't a fan of the bun but it didn't completely ruin it for me. The bar area can be chaos as there is no table service. You try to find a menu and table before ordering everything at the bar. Also, apparently on half off burger night, you don't get a side. Just your beer and burger. read more

Went to 3Keys for a beer and light lunch and was not disappointed. They have a nice variety of beers that they brew. I tried the red ale, Rusty Knuckles, which I really enjoyed. For lunch, I had the Caesar salad which came with bacon and chicken. The salad was quite good, I especially liked that it was not overdressed. read more

The beer is consistent, creative, and a nice variety. Kira C. (bartender) is fantastic. Food was good. Really a 4.5 out of 5 overall.

Laid back atmosphere, always good service and great selection of food. Always a go to choice when i am in the area.

3 Keys Brewing is a fun place to try a wide variety of local brews and some pretty good food. The bar is fairly large with outside and inside seating with a large beer list of local brews with a pretty wide selection of brew styles. I tried almost 10 different beers and found a couple I really enjoyed such as the Pink Ranger, and the Coordinate Chaos which is bottle only. The inside features an N64 and a bunch of board games that would be really fun for a crowd to hang out and drink and play. The food menu is fairly average and features a lot of what you'd expect ranging from Burgers to pizza. They actually do have a separate menu for pizza so I'd imagine they make a mean pizza. The price point is right in the middle of what you would expect from a local brewery and the service is pretty solid. I would totally come back here if I were in the area and feeling some craft brews. read more

This is a great little spot for having a brew. I have been a few times now and they are welcoming and friendly. It is not a sports bar, they have the games on but do not always play the sound, disappointed. The beer is good and generally cold. I have had several different food items that were all good. The burgers are the best thing they have. They have a great outdoor area for live entertainment. Plenty of parking, and some are in the back. Ask for the twins to take care of you they are fantastic. read more

We almost didn't stop as we drove past, thinking that it didn't look so inviting from the outside. I persisted and it was worth it. Tried a flight of beers and their sour Passionfruit of the Christ was absolutely delicious. I would comeback for that alone. Several of their other beers were also very good -- wasn't a fan of their NEIPA, but all others were very good. Ordered the wings with the fruity habenero sauce and that was good with a wee bit of heat. Asked for a side of F'n Hot sauce and yikes that one will leave a mark. I think they may need to throw the container away periodically because of the holes it must burn into it. Not bad. Will go back for more after I repair the ulcer it gave me. Fish and chips were decent as well. Staff was friendly and chatty. Turned out to be pretty good and we would definitely recommend this to friends. read more

The best place if you want a yummy dinner and want to bring your dog! The patio is very welcoming to well behaved dogs. The service is quick and friendly! The gluten free pizza is ok, but I felt too high priced. I recommend the creole grouper without bread or a burger without the bun. My husband, no food allergies, loves the Havana ooh la la. Also, start your meal with the Brussels sprouts! So delicious! read more

I am giving it 3 stars because the beer was terrible. The food was really good. We had appetizers. I am told the burgers are good but didn't order one. read more

Definitely a great place for a burger and a beer! The onion rings were crunchy and came with a spicy sauce although they were best with just ketchup. The pretzel was amazing with the beer cheese. My burger was juicy and full of flavor, with my usual grilled onions and pickles. The Aloha Chicken Sandwich was good along with the Tex Mex Bowl. The Buffalo Chicken Sandwich needed a lot of help. The chicken was burnt and had very little sauce. The beer... large selection with a variety of styles. The flights from n the state of FL boards was a vacation moment. The service was outstanding! We are only in town for a week, but might stop by here again. read more

A little underwhelmed. I mean the burger was good. Not as good as the hype on yelp though. It is worthy of four stars. I had the blue burger. Or at least something along those lines I don't know the exact name. It was a thick patty, but the bun was bigger than the Patty. I asked for pink, there was no pink in the burger. It still had good flavor. The onion slice, wasn't an onion slice, but more like a couple pieces of an onion slice. Lettuce, way bigger than the bun and a little wilted. He did have a good tomato, and the mayonnaise was served in a squeeze bottle. I like that. It came with a generous order of waffle sweet potato fries. The only problem is if they were cold. I sat at the bar and the bartender was a cool guy. Would I go back? We will see. read more

We are new to the area but 3 Keys has been calling my name for some time now as I pass it on my daily commute to work. I am so glad my wife and I finally stopped in. Great food, huge craft selection and a very friendly staff. Looking forward to coming back to explore the menu some more. My wife loved her Waffle Sandwich and my flight of beers paired well with the pulled pork tacos. The digital board above the bar highlighted a variety of daily specials / events throughout the week so I might just have to become a regular. Judging by the wall they have a lot of members participating in their mug club. read more

We had burgers and fries plus fish and rice and the food was delicious. Dogs allowed outside but not inside.

I always enjoy visiting 3 Keys when I'm in town. Service is friendly, beer is great, and food is yummy. What more could you want?

First time visitor and loved the atmosphere. At 3:00 on a Monday, there were only a few occupied tables. They have an outside eating area, as well as a large inside area. The tables and chairs are very cool, made of pipe and slats. There is a large wall of beer mugs on one side and you can see where they are making beer on the other. There is a nice selection of beer, and you can also order wine. I had an amber ale and a burger with pulled pork and cheese. The beer was very good. The other people in my party liked their beer as well. My burger came out hot and was very tasty. The others like their food as well. Would definitely return when in the area. read more

First time here, and brought Fido, who was warmly welcomed with a bowl of cold water. Food is fabulous. Their hand-crafted burgers are out of this world, as are the fries. No wonder the server brings extra napkins. Only reason for four stars is that they were remodeling the tap room, and only had three crafted beers available. Disappointed, as that's one of the reasons we went there. Free parking, but I wouldn't say ample, especially during popular hours of operation. Restrooms were clean. We'd definitely go back. read more

We had lunch here recently. Service was good. We both got sandwiches (not burgers) and a side salad. Tried a new beer as well. I guess what surprised me was our bill for lunch was $50+. Crazy for 2 sandwiches, Salad and a beer. Food was okay but average. Not sure if we'll be back anytime soon. read more

Visited Bradenton from GA and checked out this place. We love local breweries! The beer is amazing! You can try out different ones, my favorite was the Braidenton and Kolsch me outside (think that was the name) both were pale ale. Super refreshing, full of flavor and crisp! They also had a habenero type beer and it was delicious! It was actually spicy! The beers changes every now and then so it's cool to always go back and see what they have. Mushroom Swiss Burger was great, grass fed beef burger patty was tasty. It's a casual atmosphere, where you can just hang out with friends and family or just get a beer at the bar and chat with the "beertenders." Definitely a place to check out and bring your kids, dogs, cats, whatever you have! If we lived closer we would def become regulars! Wished they distributed the beers - I'm wanting more "kolsch me outside!" read more

This place, even though the location is probably subpar for business is such a gem. Great for a date night, not to mention they are dog friendly! They have worked really hard to create a lovely environment with the big porch and games all around and comfortable lounge type seating. Also the decorations inside are lovely ! You can see the area they brew the beer and the servers are so personable. I will say the food is pretty good but it's nothing special. But everything else definitely outweighs that it's a lot like what you would expect bar food to be except maybe a little better! read more

Even though it's a burger joint... they have some very very good wings.... I don't drink, but my son really love the crafted beers... great job guys read more

Salad portion was huge & i added chicken which was great! my husband got the burger and wings and really enjoyed both the potato chips and beer cheese was great! my little one, who's a picky eater, loved the burger and fries (that she dipped in the cheese) will definitely be back. read more

Great hamburgers and wings. Service is very quick even when really busy. So if you want to have a drink before your meal,either wait to order or tell them to give you 10 minutes. Awesome Service and entertainment read more

Had previously enjoyed this place and the service and food. Things are changing, menu going seasonal (which is fine) but when questions asked to waitress she reported to kitchen. We did not ask for anything to be changed or fixed. Manager Brad came out- very Rude and curt, said "this is how we work, you don't like it you can go somewhere else." He just lost the restaurant some consistent business and we were told Owner "not available" after they checked with him. To the Owner Gabriel, the issue was not adapting to change and we did not ask for anything after team member declined item and informed us it was only served at dinner now. She went to kitchen staff, even though we asked her not to Our issue was the way we were approached and spoken To by Brad, apparently you listened to him rather than hearing fro us what occurred. If you didn't want us to come there someone should have told us because about a month ago when I asked We were told we were welcome and they liked the business. We will not be returning read more
