We got to town from driving 1200 miles late. We wanted to celebrate with green beer for St Patrick day. Mt husband called and they said we can pop in so long we were gone by 8pm. Considering it's a Sunday that a HUGE win. They were friendly and we didn't feel burdensome or rushed. Such a pleasure to visit this place. Can't wait to come back and chill here. Their patio is huge too. read more

Stop 2/10 on our Hundreds of Hops self-guided US Hop Passport Brewery Tour Amazing Brewery Race 2025. We drove from DFW and stopped here on our way to Austin, about an hour before close. They were welcoming and tossed out some good brews. While there was some confusion over how to process the Hop Passport discount but they just worked around it with no issues. Unfortunately, we had to rush through this stop but I'd love to swing back in and check out the other offerings they have. The crowd was electric. It was 10min til the kitchen closed, so, we skipped food. read more

Beer was ok. Hazy was definitely not hazy, but that's fine I guess. Sweet potato fries and fried pickles were great, chicken sandwich and nachos were meh. Nice staff, kind of uncomfortable chairs. read more

I'll be honest. I usually am not a fan of most of bolds beers, but the playground for my kiddos keeps me coming. But today on st patty's day , I had the best beer BY FAR ive ever had from here. The strawberry leprechaun farts. Oh my amazing. Please continue to produce this beer. And today we also ordered the voodoo Mac and cheese which was LEGIT. So much meaty goodness in every bite. My wife got the brisket sandwich which was good as well but could have used a lot less sauce . I will be back often !!! Oh yes and THANK YOU FOR BEING ABLE TO MAKE GREEN BEER ON ST PATTYS DAY ( please take note "obriens Irish pub") read more

This brewery is definitely kid friendly. If you have young ones that you want to run around while you have a drink, then this place is a good option. Food menu had way more than most breweries which was cool. If you want to avoid children while drinking, probably a good idea to go elsewhere. read more

Good local brewery and a pretty good selection of snacks. We just stopped in for a quick beer and some hush puppies. Friendly wait staff. Looked like they were setting of for a live band. Handy ability to order from the table with your phone and pay the bill. read more

Trivia night every Wednesday is fun here. It's well organized, and they have gift cards for first and second place. The vibes are really nice both inside and outside, although during the summer the AC is too cold inside. It's family oriented with a playground outside. The staff is friendly. They have a good drink selection here with beer and wine. Their sours are good for sweeter drinks. I tried the grape sour and peach sour and opted for the grape sour. I couldn't finish more than half the glass as I couldn't stomach any more sugar though. It tasted like grape soda. Their food is really good too. We had mini burgers, seasoned fries, wings, hush puppies, a charcuterie board, and other bar food. The fries were so tasty. The BBQ wings were too heavy for me, but the lemon pepper wings were so so good. read more

The layout is good, both inside and outside. This is definitely a place where you can do a date night. I'm not a fan of waiting longer than normal to get your food. The variety of tap is good. Customer service could be good. However, it may have been the night we choose. read more

Was looking for a brewery on a road trip, headed for Temple, Texas. Not a lot to see; buuttt found one! Bold Republic is run like a family owned ice house/sports bar. Probably is! Inside, outside, area for kiddos, and pooches. Decent brew selection and the wings and fries were tasty and had a unique twist in the batter--pop rocks! Takes ya back a bit doesn't it! It was a bit chilly but we sat outside for a spell. Downside--ya order from the table. For someone old school, that is awkward. They do bring the food to you though! read more

Aside from flies pestering about, during hot and humid weather, indoors and out, I enjoyed this spot quite a lot! On the day of my birthday I draaaank - probably not the best decision, since I didn't wanna swank. My drinking skills have faltered over decades. They are really nothing worth accolades. My grubba-dub dubbing skills however, are more on point; especially for gourmet burgers at this joint. A 4-glass flight of cheer, plus a tall mug of "Women's Work" beer, filled me up so... after Chicken Brie with Bacon and Avo. The ambiance looks pretty good: industrial style with glossy tables of customized wood. There's plenty of seating though, even out in their patio. Their cool bar area adds a nice touch. I saw a few people chugging local stuff. I think they're regulars and such. I'd love to enjoy more deliciousness off their menu again someday. Perhaps I'll be back at the start of autumn, that's on a Saturday. Until then, come check out this local brewery! Make friends with the owners and don't forget gratuity. read more

As someone who works in a similar industry, I am aware of how impactful reviews are to a business. I know all it takes is one poor review to throw off a handful of positive ones. So I will provide grace. I was referred to this brewery by a friend in the area that I came down to visit. The beer selection was nice, pricing was fair and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Unfortunately, there was a staff member I overheard( I had no choice but to hear) yelling at another one for "help" from the complete opposite side of the buidling. It was not done playfully either. There was a very toxic nature to this employee and I am able to say this because the tension continued in front of myself and other customers. This employee proceeded to make negative comments about her coworker to other staff, all while being in the presence of customers. Very unpofessional and distasteful. I was not surprised since she appeared very young. I did not get a name because I honestly didn't care to at the time. (I now wish I had) She was young, blonde hair and had a knee brace. I've worked with people who have made my shift unbearable so I really hope her attitude is not that way on a daily basis. I don't mean to rant, I guess the experience was a little triggering for me. I would return to this brewery because I had a great experience dispite that occurance. I hope my rating doesn't hinder the rating too much but I felt to need to share this. read more

We had a great time here at trivia night! The menu is pretty extensive for a brewery and the food we had was great. Between the three people in my group, we had the deviled eggs, a shrimp po boy, sliders (kid's cheeseburger - they don't actually have sliders on the menu), and fries. The fries were INCREDIBLE. I'm not the kind of person who orders just fries at a restaurant, but I would here. They have PLENTY of parking. Probably more parking than actual capacity in the restaurant, actually. They have a large outdoor patio and a great bar with ample seating. They do not have any liquor, just beer and wine, but it's a brewery so that's probably to be expected. Trivia was super fun. We took first so that probably supported me having a great time, but there was a good crowd and the questions were fun. Audio was good both inside and out on the patio. Service overall was pretty good, but at one point I went to the bathroom and both of my friends stepped outside (obviously that's not ideal, but I was in the bathroom so I couldn't stop them). When I came back to my seat at the bar, my water and beer were both gone. My friends were seated on either side of me and both of their drinks were untouched, plus they both had items such as sunglasses etc., and they were untouched. I had interacted with everyone working behind the bar, so I have to assume someone behind the bar realized their mistake when I sat back down but nobody addressed it. I eventually asked if my beer could be replaced and said "I had about half a beer left" and was provided about half a beer. I mean, sure, that's all they owed me, but draft beer margins are very good and it just felt silly. I'll definitely be back here for more trivia and great food. read more

Held a networking event here last week and Patrick and his staff were amazing! Super communicative leading up to the event and so helpful during. The food and drinks were even better, thanks y'all! read more

Super cute outdoor space with a play area. Fried cheese curds were great and love the outdoor water "tap" for the pups. Great service!

We went here last night for my going away party. Driving out to West Adams on the back roads of Temple, I had some misgivings about the location. But when I arrived, it's a cool find! This bar brewery has a wall of taps featuring a wide array of a wine, seltzer and self brewed beer selections. Last night was their 5th anniversary so everyone was in a festive mood. Nelly the bartender opened my tab and was especially friendly in helping me make my selections for a beer flight. I had the Peggy hill, stugots, captain Jack and awesome-o IPA. My favorite was the Italian Pilsner (stugots). I'm not a big fan of IPAs but the awesomeO was pretty tasty. I also liked the Captain Jack which reminded me a little bit of Shiner Bock. Shout out to Curtis, who was absolutely hilarious and served us the rest of the night. I also sampled the prickly pair and white peach seltzers. The prickly pear was a bit sweet for my taste, but the white peach was very refreshing. We also purchased the fried green tomatoes - which were to die for, and two pizzas which were likewise delicious - especially after a few too many beers Outside is a chill, family friendly area with a covered patio, play ground for kids, ax throwing and corn hope for adults. There was a bounce house and great live band for the anniversary festivities. I'm a beer drinker, and while I enjoyed each beverage...not everyone is going to be overly impressed with some of the beer flavors. Some of my friends said their sours were way too sour, the flavor was lacking for some of the lagers. I enjoyed my drinks but would just chalk it up to being a relatively new brewery still working out the kinks. I'm not a seltzer drinker and I definitely recommend the white peach. I saw some of the other reviews lamented the quality of the food but we had a great time and I definitely recommend checking this place out. The service is great, the atmosphere is fun, the food was tasty, and I'm sure you can find an adult beverage that is to your liking! Next time I want to throw some axes!! read more

They do brew a few decent beers and zero issues with the working staff, they were all great and accommodating. That is why I gave this a 3 star. The food is mediocre at best, especially for the prices. Ordered Fish and Chips 2 times. - Both times, is fish is very miniscule in ratio to the batter. The good thing I can say about the actual fish, it was not rubbery. Ordered Cheeseburger 1 time. - The special blend could use less seasoning in my opinion. The other issue I had was the patty was super compressed and was served has a hard, dry disc of beef blend. Finally. - Unable to request the fries without seasoning or salt, they are way too salty for my taste. In all, I have been there enough to not return. read more

Best burger in the area! Beer was fantastic to be expected of a microbrewery, but the quality of the food and service was way above expectations. Awesome vibe and the singalong with the entertainment was so much fun. Definite recommend! read more

Got here just as the kitchen closed after an exceptionally long workday. Nice place and friendly service. Had the Helles and had to go find some grub. read more

So went here today and ordered food from QR code on table. Food ordered at 1215. At 1400 tried to ask where is the food I ordered. Staff ignored me and walked away. Had to wait in line at bar to then ask what happened to me food order at 1430. Person at bar said that I was charged but order didn't get processed. Do not use QR codes to order. I still have a charge on my card for food that I have to talk to my bank about. Beware going here. You may get charged for something you never got. Would definitely stay away from this business. read more

This place is really cute! Something for everyone: indoor and outdoor seating, a stage for live music, playground for the kids, ax throwing, and theme nights (karaoke bingo the night we went). Service was fast and friendly. Ordering was easy. Wine on tap and local craft beer are two of our favorite things! He had a flight of beers, I had Pinot Grigio. Loved them all. We had the brisket nachos and the hush puppies. Both were perfect. We will definitely be back often! read more

We really enjoyed ourselves here. I can't wait to check out the new location they moved to when I'm back in TX. The staff was super friendly and gave off good vibes. Cannot wait to have more of their beer! read more

Location is great, we don't have much else around like this and it's very family friendly (playground). Food prices are quite high; my burger was $18. It was just an average size burger and any upgrade (like avocado) is another dollar. I did pay $1 extra for sweet potato fries that were delicious. Small glass of wine was $11.55 and just eh, but I know that's what I get for ordering wine in a brewery. We also got the brisket nachos and they were just mid- if the prices were low I don't think anyone would complain but for those prices I would expect some amazing food. The appetizer also arrived about 2 minutes before the main courses. read more

Overall service was very poor due to the shift manager's actions. We were kicked out because they didn't want to serve us an hour before closing. Recommend you set your closing hours to match your kitchen closing hours so as to not confuse any unfortunate future customers. Also, telling customers "nope, nope, nope" before you even talk to them is problematic. What are you "noping". read more

Customer service needs a lot of attention. Your "manager" needs to understand his role. Waitresses complaining that people were still in the building all while standing next to a customer. Nope!! Is not the appropriate answer when speaking to a table of 8 and just saying "nope" wouldn't serve us. The audacity to come out and speak to a gentleman who asked a simple question about table numbers. He was rude, allowed staff to complain in front of possible customers. "Nope," we didn't have drinks there and obviously didn't eat there. Bird Creek Brewery took good care of us. read more

Stopped by Bold Republic on Memorial Day weekend to grab a quick bite. Had the margarita pizza. It was full flavored and significantly better than most brewery food (which usually an afterthought.) Overall a solid B+ for flavor and preparation. The lady helping me knew exactly what beer to serve based apron our conversation. Super nice with stellar service picking out the Island IPA. The music was all early 90s alternative and people were nice across the board. Social distancing was established but comfortable. Great place and we'll go back! read more

Pet and kid friendly. The place is popular because the beer is good, but there was a lack of space inside and on the patio. There was definitely space on their gravel patio area with metal chairs and tables but it could benefit from more fans or climate control. The food was mediocre and pricey (12 dollars for 6 wings) so don't go there for food, but the beer was good. Scanning the QR code to place your order made the service very efficient. Staff was friendly. read more

We really do like this place and the food is good. But it's the most annoying thing that they use the arryved app which requires you to enter your credit card every time you come. And we have the arryved app which should allow us to use the credit card on file with the app. This is resulting in us coming here less and less. read more

I absolutely love this place, a great atmosphere, fantastic food especially the fried green tomatoes I hadn't had those in so long it brought back memories. The events every night really take the cake and there's a play ground for kids. I highly recommend it read more

Beer is great. Food is not great. Eat before you go. We had 7 in our party and practically ordered the menu. Other than the chips and salsa, nothing was worth ordering. Worst: beer pretzel 2nd Worst: tuna burger 3rd Worst: BLT (not sure it was bacon) Could be a bad day or the Sunday shift cook. No bueno. read more

What a great spot. Indoor space is clean and modern. Outdoor space offers plenty of seating and a play space for kids. But...the service is terrible. Bartenders were too busy chatting and taking selfies to serve customers. One bart Eder was super kind and efficient. The others were incredibly rude and seemed inconvenienced at every turn. Plus the prices are quite high for the area. $12 for a small pour of wine, no thanks. Not to mention they had roughly 5 whites on the menu but only 2 available. The food was mediocre. Ill pass. read more

Two stars because I like the beer. But the service is so terrible unless you are local and know the staff. Unbelievable. Wish it was different because we already drive out of the way to come here. read more

First visit to this brew pub/restaurant. Nice place with a playground for the kids and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Brewed beers and seltzers were ok, nothing special for the beers as far as brew pubs go. The ladies at our table complained about their drinks which all seemed really tart and the Mojito drink tasted like Crest Toothpaste. the real issue with the visit today was the food. We ordered from the app at the table and after an hour our food has t arrived and there is no one checking on tables to ensure orders are getting out and the guests are happy. I had to walk up to the bar to make sure our order was received and all the guy would say is you ordered an hour ago so should be out soon. No apology, did not follow up with the manager to go into the kitchen to expedite orders. Nothing. Thirty more minutes later and the food starts coming to our table and it is all ICE COLD. Pretzel with cheese sauce frigid. Brisket nachos were cold to the touch and I couldn't eat It. Buffalo chicken salad was a cold sloppy mess. I gave back the Nachos to the staff member at our table and said I couldn't eat it and didn't want it. Waited 15 minutes and no manager came to the table to ask about our experience or offer to refund it so I had to walk up to the bar to get the bartender to remove the charge. we honestly should have refused everything but the bar drinks. lots of opportunity to improve upon Management at this place. read more

Love this local neighborhood watering hole. Their rotating craft beer selection never disappoints. My current favs are the jalapeño cream ale and First Street stout (a not-as-heavy-as-you'd-think collaboration with First Street Roasters which is just down the road). Reasons to visit, in order: 1) slam dunk craft beer, 2) fun/comfortable atmosphere (kid friendly with playground) and live music, 3) unique menu items like the chicken and brie sandwich and pimento cheese appetizer. We love supporting a local business and this is part of our regular rotation. read more

Went once back in May. Pleasant experience. They mentioned table reservations for July 4. Sounded wonderful. Paid $125 to reserve a table for July 4. I did not get my money's worth. Ordered food at 8:30 PM that had not arrived by 10:00 PM. Went to cancel order, was told food was 5 minutes away. 10 minutes later, no food. Cancelled order. They did refund the money for the food. Drinks took time during the evening, but not unreasonable amounts of time. They bit off more than they could chew. Would avoid this business during anything that would be considered a special event. read more
