Beer bacon pizza - has there ever been 3 prettier words put together?!
Adam B.

What a place! After a hike and some touring around Oak Bluff, we took the bus to Edgartown and stopped directly at Bad Martha's. We had seen others enjoying pizzas at their Falmouth location and determined that we had to try a pizza. We settled on a beer bacon pizza and some beers. My wife had their Vineyard summer Ale and I had their 508 IPA. It was all incredible! The perfect ambiance for a relaxing afternoon and delicious food after lots of steps and a morning in the hot sun, walking around the island's sites.

This was such a fun place. It was packed on trivia night. It took an hour for our pizza to come out. This was told to us when we ordered that the wait on a pizza would be over an hour. The beer options were yummy and cool. They don't have other drink options. The cheese board was giant. Definitely shareable for 4 people. Really delicious though. The pizza was good but it wasn't the best pizza considering the long wait. The crust wasn't that great. The outdoor seating area was really nice. Service was good as well. Would definitely come back.

This is a fun brewery with lots of outdoor and indoor seating. They have a good selection of summer beers. The staff are very friendly.

Great vibe, pizza and beer! Love all the outdoor seating and staff was attentive and kind. We got some beers and started with the cheesy bread. Then we did the margarita pizza added red sauce. Big pizza to share!

An absolute must-visit when you're in Martha's Vineyard. They have lots of beer options, including flights. The pizza is also super tasty. There's plenty of outdoor seating with a great playlist in the background. Everyone working was very friendly and we were served quickly. Highly recommend!

I was not impressed with the beer here as it was not memorable and I don't recall the names. Our bartender was a bit short and not super friendly which was unfortunate. The theme is awesome and the outside seating is cozy and quaint. My sister in law really enjoyed the beer so maybe you will to. Definitely worth a stop in for the cuteness of the place.

View from the nursery. Corn hole and other games to play.

Bad Martha's is such a fun and beautiful spot to enjoy some great beer, play some games, and enjoy your company. The staff was super helpful and let me sample the beers before making my selection. They were unfortunately unable to pour the lager the day I was there but I really enjoyed the summer ale since I'm not an IPA gal. The pizza looked great but we had dinner after and didn't get anything to eat. We also went for some music Memorial Day weekend but found out the hard way that the fun events were for the Falmouth location. Live music would have been perfect but it was a beautiful day and we played Jenga and made the most of it! It's also next to the cutest nursery with the most beautiful plants surrounding the area. Great vibes all around!

Beer flight
Ami V.

Such a beautiful, and relaxing place to have a beer. The weather was perfect when I went and everyone working is very nice. I got a flight with - Vineyard summer ale , Wit or witout, Martha's Vineyard ale, and Citromic bomb. This place did have a couple darker options but not many. Not sure if they change the menu around but if you're a dark beer drinker, I'd say still come and enjoy this place- it's very peaceful. They serve food but we didn't get any when we were there. The place is right next to a nursery so it's very pretty to sit and watch the plants. They also have a few non-alcoholic options which is always great to have. Overall if I'm back on the island, I'm definitely coming back to this place!!

I'm glad we made this stopover at Bad Martha's on Martha Vineyard. The only main brewery on the island it was a must-try. With plenty of beer selection, we chose to do a flight. My favorites were their Belgian Quad and Oyster stout. As for food, oh boy, I highly recommend ordering their pizza, plenty of oozy goodness, and they don't cheap out on cheese. Perfect marriage of beer and pizza. Service was exceptional and plenty of outdoor seating on a lovely summer's day.

This brewery was a hidden gem tucked away in a small town, we were on our way to the winery and took a quick look and honestly thought it was a strip club (adult gentlemen's club) until we left and my wife mentioned about this brewery and we pulled up and said it's not a strip club. This place is nestled right outside of Martha's Vineyard. This brewery has an interesting story, when English explorer Bartholomew Gosnold led the first European expedition to Cape Cod in 1602, he said that he encountered a mermaid named "Bad Martha" who guided him to an ingredient that he ended up using in a batch of ale for his crew. Bad Martha's still uses that ingredient to this day, but the brewery is also not afraid to experiment to create new, innovative beers like a jalapeno-cucumber lager or a dark IPA -- a blend of an IPA and a porter. This place had an awesome vibe to it. The beer were amazing. I loved the Pale Ale more than the Hazy IPA and took (2) 4 packs home to Pittsburgh, PA with me. Great service. Cheers!!

18 inch 2 topping pizza, $26.  One hour to make.
Jo H.

This review is for take out pizza. We called around 6 pm on a Tuesday evening and ordered one 18 inch pizza, half pepperoni and half mushroom. $26. It was ready for pick up at 7pm. The hostess told me it was trivia night (from 6-8) and that is the reason pizza takes an hour to make. It was very good pizza, but the toppings were stingy. If they were more generous with the toppings, this would have been 5 stars. We would have eaten inside, but they don't serve wine, so we opted for take out.

We stopped here during a bike ride around Martha's Vineyard. Beers were very good. The place has good atmosphere and plenty of seating. We ordered a pizza, a lobster roll and a pretzel. I give it four stars because the service was a little rough. The servers/bartenders were nice but seemed quite aloof and not very well organized. Our pizza was forgotten, we had to ask about it and finally we revived it much later than our other food. All the food was very good. Luckily we got a lobster roll because we were informed that they only had one left (it was noon??). So in the end good food, good beer, ok service.

Beer Bacon Pizza
Lindsey D.

We ended our trip on island here and so glad we did. the staff was beyond friendly, the manager even brought out a doggie bowl with water for our pup. The beer flights (4 beers) were perfect. We got the beer bacon pizza- YUM! Overall a great place, atmosphere and definitely recommended

Ask the Community - Bad Martha Farmer's Brewery

Do they have food or food trucks here? I see pizza and meat and cheese boards, but they are older pics so not sure?

Was there the other day and saw no food trucks

Planning to go as part of a laid back bachelorette party weekend! Any recommendations on what time of day to go or if reservations are needed?

Live music 3-6 friday and saturday. Those also tend to be the busiest hours. No reservations. Cheers,

Our no longer so secret party spot. Even in the off season, it's ridiculously congested. If you…read morescore parking on premises, it's like winning an organ transplant. A few years ago, someone offered to buy my parking space for $500. (I declined.) There's often live music. (Check local publications or their website for up-to-date schedules.) There are often a number of food trucks present. On our recent visit, we had oysters from Hang Ten (enormous, meaty and sweet, but shucked with a ton of shell shards); tacos, guac and nachos from Millie's; and pizza from Eat Fire Pizza. And of course we had a number of decent beers on tap from Cisco Brewers. They seem to tend towards lightness, minimal hoppiness: good summer brews for warm weather. It's family friendly -- including canine members. Our pup is a seasoned New Yorker and accustomed to crowds, but even she seemed a little frazzled by the press of people at times.

My husband and I went to Nantucket for a long weekend and stayed with a friend of ours. He had told…read moreus how much fun Cisco Brewery was, and that they have great bands...so we Ubered up there on a Saturday. We got there fairly early but the first band had already started, and the area under the tent was already full. We got some drinks, checked out the space and eventually we were able to snag some chairs under the tent. The outside beer area had alcohol drinks as well. 2 of us had tequila drinks, and 2 tried the beers. We were all really happy with our choices. All of the food there came from food trucks, and there were a lot of random vendors, which made it a fun, unique experience! All of our food and drinks were great. I also bought a few hats- the hat selection was really good from the band and the brewery. They also had a shop along with the other vendors who were set up. We stayed longer than expected- the first band (Grateful Dead cover band) was amazing, so we stayed to check out the second band (who were really good also). We eventually gave up our seats under the tent to some very happy people! We will definitely go back to the Cisco brewery the next time we're in Nantucket- it was a great experience all around! Everyone we encountered- whether they worked there, or weee there for fun were very nice and friendly. There was a dance area in front of the stage and people definitely used it - so there was great people watching in a super fun setting!

A full food menu is also available. Three years ago we stopped here enroute to Ptown to check out their lactose (milkshake) beers. They were unique and delicious. This year there was just one, the Creamsicle, and it is a delicious beer. I also enjoyed the Sumner Ale, and had the Irish stout before. There is plenty of seating, inside and out. Naukabout is a nice place to enjoy beer and food.

I have to start this review with the worst part...bad clam chowder in New England. Read on for…read moredeets. The location is nice enough, though the advertised lake view is obscured by trees. The bartender was very nice. The beer selection was heavily weighted towards hazy NEIPAs, which I understand--they sell! (I teach beverage at the Culinary Institute of America). I ordered two beers, a corn lager and a maibock. The lager was good, but the maibock was technically flawed, with diacetyl (movie popcorn butter smell) and I think some acetalaldehyde (cooked vegetable) smells/flavors. Not terrible, not great, and 10 oz. pours were priced like pints at other breweries. Here comes the bad part, though. We also ordered some clam chowder and pretzel bites. We got the food at our inside table and the chowder was the worst we've ever had in our lives. Campbells and Progresso well exceed the quality of this 'soup'. It didn't taste like clams, there was no discernible seasoning or flavor from onions or garlic, and it had obviously been thickened (into glop) with cornstarch. It might also have been scorched during cooking. It was so bad that we each took two bites and had to stop. And we are *not* picky eaters. The pretzel bites (for $15) were plentiful, but obviously a commodity product heated up...barely. The beer cheese dip was good and the mustard had a nice kick, but that much money for a pile of frozen pretzel bites is ridiculous. So, $40+ for two 10oz beers and food so bad we threw 90% of it in the garbage. The staff was nice enough, the live music outside was bad, but the food. Holy moly the food was terrible. Oh, and the beers weren't great. We will not be going back, and don't think you should go either.
