    the outside of the building

    This is a homey feeling brewery. I went over the summer alone as I have been on a brewery kick and wanted to check it out. Much smaller than I expected but that didn't matter to me. I sat at the bar and tried one of their summer beers and it was tasty. The bartender who waited on me was a lovely lady who talked to me a little just asking where I was from and all. This place seems like a very chill place where you would meet new friends if you just started to chat with others. Very family feeling here. Highly recommend, great vibes and Great Beer!

    Awesome service and great selections of beers served by knowledgeable people who know and drink beer. Not all the beers they serve are their own as they also have other local nectars on tap. The inside is a spacious environment with a nice relaxing outdoors area should you choose to be outside (it was too hot for us) enjoying shore air. They have games you can play while enjoying your beverage of choice and I also believe they may serve wine only because I saw a sign but whether they do or not needs to be verified. Prices are reasonable considering it is craft beer. Glad I visited and will definitely be back for another Swishy Pants IPA.

    Bethany Brewing is a great hidden gem in Ocean View! The bar is cozy with an unpretentious hometown feel. It's the kind of place you could go have a beer and make a few new friends. They've recently started brewing their own beers. I tried the Sea Mark Saison and loved it. It's a great beach town summer beer, full enough to be more satisfying than a lager or pils but mild enough so you can have a few on a hot day. In total they have 5 beers of their own on tap (more on the way) and you can order a flight to try all of them. They also have guest beers which are quite good! I liked the unique flavor of the Strawberry Pretzel Salad (sounds gross but it tastes like a strawberry sour patch kid). The prices are reasonable and they give you a generous pour. They have happy hour every day and discounts for veterans, golfers and and bicyclists. They don't serve food (just light snackies) but you can order from neighboring restaurants. The staff are attentive, friendly and create a welcoming environment. It's great to see new businesses thrive and I'm more than happy to stop in on my trips down the shore (especially looking forward to having a few in the garden when the weather is cooler). I'm looking forward to trying more of their beers!

    Flight plus some popcorn. Perfect for an afternoon adventure

    Lovely brews and even wines, seltzers, and cider for your non-beer drinkers. Can get food at the place next door!

    The beer is hand crafted, the vibe is great and the staff is amazing. I love this place.

    What a lovely place! From the outside it doesn't look like much... but inside it's so cute! Decorated nicely with good vibes and nice outdoor seating - picnic tables, fenced off outdoor seating with lights for at night. I got a flight - all the beers were GREAT! I definitely recommend muddy Waters. Will be back!

    Fantastic Live music of John & Marc Acoustic!

    What a marvelous evening at relaxing and homey Bethany Brewing!! My friends were thrilled with the tap selections. As a non-beer lover, there were plenty of other beverage options, including wines and root beer!!! We had pizza delivered and apps from Munchies next door. Everyone can run an individual tab, which is way better than splitting a group check. The live music of John & Marc Acoustic was fantastic. Plenty of room for dancing. Definitely will add Bethany Brewing to the top of the hit list!!

The pet-friendly courtyard had café lights, comfy seating, and '80s soft rock playing--I liked it. Our party agreed that the food was so-so. Vegetarian and gluten-free options like a burrito bowl were available. Loved that their self-serve water was out of a tap with the same handle mechanism as a beer tap! Shocked to find out a martini flight (totaling two drinks' worth of alcohol) was $38! I got one espresso martini instead and it was really a watered-down "latte martini"--sweeter and less coffee flavor than others I've had. Service was neither particularly good nor particularly bad, but overhearing the [manager? owner?] telling a fellow customer that he was "mad at" the bartender for being late to work that morning left a bad taste in my mouth. You shouldn't share your employees'/coworkers' shortcomings or mistakes with customers, and you shouldn't be "mad" at someone for being late to work (because it's not a personal affront, and because everyone is late sometimes). We felt that, while it had a nice atmosphere, we could find better food and drinks not far away.

Last summer was my first visit after seeing some friends recommend and following them on social media. We had their longboard wings, veggie wrap and jerk chicken wrap. Everything was DELICIOUS! On Wednesday of this week I stopped in for lunch with my dog and we sat on the 'boardwalk' which is what they call part of their outdoor section. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. They offer a water bowl and a complimentary piece of bacon for the pups. My dog was thrilled as you can see by one of the pics =) On this visit I tried the wrinkled green been app and the St. Croix chopped salad. Both were very good. My dog ordered the kids burger plain with no bun. He had no complaints! I stole his fries which were yummy. Luke was our server on my most recent visit. He provided excellent service! He even helped me gain some more insight on bringing a large party there later this year. He got me in touch with one of the managers and I am currently coordinating with them. Overall, this is one of my favorite restaurants in OC and can't wait to come back in a couple months!

I like the atmosphere. A upscale casual dinner with a beachy feel.

In spite the busyness, my party of 5 was able to get seated fairly quick, since we chose to sit outside. Though it was a muggy day, there was a nice breeze out in the area by the kids activities. This play area is probably the best draw if you have a family with young kids as there's a playground, ping pong table, cornhole, fuse ball tables, basketball hoops and even an area to kick the ball in the sand. My 7-year old had a blast while we waited for our food. Came here bc of a friend's rec. Got the full steamer pot to share with hubby that came an assortment of clams, mussels, shrimps along with a corn and a few bratwurst. It was yummy but definitely could've had more. Kids said their salmon kids meal were ok as salmon was a bit overcooked and lacking seasoning, however their side of fried brussel sprouts were delicious. My friend seemed to have enjoyed her chicken Philly cheesesteak. Would come back again to take advantage of HH special between 4-6pm, which only applies when inside the restaurant as it would've been 1/2 the price for the steamer pot.
