Amazing brunch spot!! Fluffy pancakes, good coffee, Buddha bowl daily special, and boothill chicken is what we ordered. For early on a Sunday it wasn't quick service, but the atmosphere and food was great. Love the decor and local artist works hanging up on the walls. read more

3.5 rating. We started with the porter dip which was extremely savory and awesome. For dinner I had the waygu burger with mushrooms, goat cheese, and pickled red onions. Unfortunately the burger was cooked well past the requested medium. That being said, the quality of the beef and toppings still made for a tasty burger. For a side I had the sautéed vegetables which were very nice. The service was good but seemed to get a little disjointed towards the end of the meal. Could have been shift change or similar, we did have to go looking for the check. read more

Went to Columbia for a catch a concert at the Blue Note theater and was looking for a place to get a bite to eat and some beer before the show. Luckily I came across the Broadway Brewery on Yelp and it just so happened to be a stone throw away from the Blue Note. Their craft selection was OK at best. As a big craft beer drinking, I know I'm likely more critical than the average rater, but their in-house craft beers didn't impress me much. Their DIPA and IPAs were the best in my beer flight of six. What did make the place good in my opinion was the food and ambiance. I ordered a simple cheeseburger with a side of their in-house potato chips and it was awesome. The beef was fresh and delicious and the fresh bun as amazing. They had live jazz playing which was great and overall it's a good place I'd go back to and recommend, and although I shouldn't let it bother me, the beer does weigh heavily on my rating, but it's a solid 3 stars for sure. read more

Broadway Brewery - Brewpubs Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

We have visited a couple times. Always had great food, great service and of course excellent beer brewed on site! I highly recommend a visit to Broadway Brewery!! read more

See all

What a wonderful find. I've been to Columbia a half-dozen times now from San Francisco to visit my son at Mizzou. Broadway Brewery hasn't come up in my previous restaurant searches and I can't imagine why. Wandered in on a cold and quiet Sunday night just looking for a beer. Ended up staying for one of the best dinners I've had in this town. I was totally surprised by the interesting menu with things like rabbit and dumplings, and a butternut squash thing with cheese and veggies. And, of course, a the usual burgers and pizzas. In house beer was okay, and the guest beer selection was excellent. This will definitely be a regular stop during my trips to Columbia. read more

We came here after another brewery (FB) and felt the beer was more interesting here .....more flavor and not made for the masses per say. However where FB has boring beer it makes up for it in service and organization, this is where I feel BB is lacking. Felt bad for the bartender as she was stressed with one of the kegs not wanting to pour properly and her struggling with that took away from the service of the handful of us at the bar. Right before we were leaving we were chatting with another employee at the bar and the bartender finally had a minute to breath and the friendliness and service levels started to show up. The food menu looked creative but we didn't try it .... Completely different kind of brewery than FB. This atmosphere here comes across as for the hipper kind of crowd. We aren't hip but we will be back and try out the food next time we are in town based on the quality of the beer and the warm up on the service by the end ( thanks for the stickers!) read more

Love this local restaurant and the atmosphere! Great staff and yummy food- menu does change depending on season.

It's too heat to me. This place is too good I do not recommend it. This is my first time here and I'm so scared I will come here again and it will be better. Right now that seems impossible. The heat of this place will haunt me inevitably, in my dead sleep I'm sure somehow this place will get to me. Idk how but the heat, the warm pleasure I get being here, eating here, drinking here. It's just... I'm not worth being here, you're not worth being here, no one is. #thereforetwostars #imsorry read more

Tried several beers paired with different foods. All of them were really great except the ipa ( not a fan of ipa's). Neat place to hang out and they have live music on Thursdays at 8:30. All the food was excellent as well. And we got to do a brewery tour to boot! read more

My new favorite spot in Columbia! I have eaten here multiple times over the past few years when my mother comes to visit, and I honestly was never blown away by the food. It just seemed to me like another pricey restaurant with a menu that always seemed like it was trying too hard like many of the "cool and hip" places in STL or KC. However, the past two times I have gone I have loved it! Their mushroom pizza is absolutely amazing, and I have never liked mushrooms. I also recently tried their black bean beet burger and it was the only vegetarian burger I have ever enjoyed! I ate the whole thing up. They have delicious appetizers that come with crispy kale on the sides that is so delicious, and even though it is a little more pricey for a college student like myself, it is worth it. I highly recommend it! Bring your parents and make them pay! read more

Watch your step, cause it's downstairs. Worth the trip for killer food! Great staff and a terrific selection of in house brewed beer!

Ate here with my daughter because we were in town for her Mizzou graduation last Saturday, and it is one of her favorite places in Columbia. We ordered two pizzas, the Spicy Italian Sausage and the Mediterranean. Both were excellent, the crust was thin and just the right about of crunch (I believe they use wood-fired oven). 2 were plenty for four people, we also ordered salads which were fresh and tasty. Between the two pizzas, I liked the Spicy Italian best. I would place the pizzas here above Dewey's Pizza in Cincinnati (my favorite by far there) because the combos are more inventive and the service at BB is much better. We dined early at 4pm, service was great. On the beer, I tried the Double Rye IPA because I'm a bit of a beer snob and an IPA is always my standard by which to judge brew pubs. It didn't knock my socks off, but it is a very decent beer and very reasonable $4.40. Our waitress said it is their best beer (after I ordered it). Atmosphere, pleasant, although I prefer above ground restaurants with windows. read more

Had to try this brewery while in CoMo, even though they opened at 4pm and we already ate pretty much all over the place already. It's in downtown on Broadway street (duh!) and it's easy to put it on your list of pub crawling or just stop for a locally brewed beer. That's what ew did and it was a great experience, has that old pub flair and the beer is good, served with a smile and a few good words from the bartenders. Great place to meet locals and exchange a few impressions or ask for recommendations for more local places to try next! read more

Atmosphere is dark, cozy and casual. Reminds me of an Irish pub. Service was a bit below average, but not sure if it's because of COVID staff cuts or not. Waitress had very little knowledge of the drinks and food menu. Couldn't provide any recommendations because she said she hadn't tasted the majority of the menu. Also a bit slow getting drinks and food out, although we had a larger group. The menu looked good on paper, but was disappointing in person. Everything we ordered was dripping in oil, including the hummus, hush puppies, salad, and pizza. The house cut chips were tasty, but came out cold. However, I have to say the beer was delicious. Would come back for drinks, but the food and service was disappointing. Food was not worth the price. read more

Could be better, bartender spent the majority of her time with off duty employees than the customers. Probably will not be back.

Though the location might be more difficult, walking down the stairs into a rathskeller type restaurant, the sunny attitude of the staff will brighten your day! I'm not a meatloaf fan, but their recipe is homestyle great. Another favorite is the Kobe Beef Burger with Blue Cheese! The horse-shoe shaped bar is conducive for friends to gather. If you're dining alone, you can dine at bar as well. Brunch is popular and music is often jam sessions. read more

The short rib sliders, porter dip, prosciutto and chicken tortellini, and shepherds pie are all divine. You absolutely MUST try a slice of their chocolate cake. The best I've ever had. read more

Visited Columbia this weekend & stopped in for a few drinks. They have a great selection for a small brewhouse. I tried 7 of the 10 taps and didn't hit a clunker (five of those via sampler glasses). If you're a fan of coffee style stout they have a collaboration with a nearby coffee shop that is outstanding. Their Double IPA was also a winner. My wife ordered a Kickstarter which was a cucumber vodka drink & simply outstanding. We sat at the bar and service was good. The only downside was the light fixtures above the bar - they hadn't been dusted for months. It was a noticeable flaw that made me want to put the coasters on TOP of my beer. If one of the managers or bartenders is reading this you might want to grab a rag and look up. read more

Went out with some friends for dinner and all of our food was disappointing. The risotto was not a risotto. It was farro instead of rice and the liquid was not reduced. Literally tasted like someone forgot the salt and just poured white wine over grains. Not only that but it was served on a pile of raw kale. It looked like something you'd feed a rabbit. The bbq pizza (which is what I thought was most popular) was literally a burnt tortilla . Lastly the BBQ ribs was super dry It was impossible to separate the meat from the bones. The only food item that was good was the porter dip. The restaurant vibe was nice but the food was just terrible and not worth a dime. read more

Decent food and good brew. The staff were also very accommodating to our kids and dog!

The beer selection was small but very good in flavor. The food was okay but not good enough to make me want to go back. If I would go back it would be for the drinks and service not the food. read more

I have been to this bar three times, and I waited to write the review because I had read some of the bad reviews of the service and creepy people lurking about. All three times I have been there the service has been great. The beer is by FAR way better than what Flat Branch has to offer. Also, it is not quite as congested. I have never had the food, we have always just gone for drinks and conversation. They have a very extensive wine/beer list too. Many of which I cannot be found at other bars in Columbia. The atmosphere is great inside the bar too. I really like the simple layout. With just very simple decorations. All the best Broadway Brewery! read more

We came here later (around 8) on a weeknight and were immediately seated. Our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable about both the menu and the beers they had on tap that night. I had the pork burger, which was very flavorful, with the glazed carrot medallions. The options for sides were not what I expected to see at a brewery (fries, etc.) but were wide-ranging and probably substantially healthier. The atmosphere was nice, if a little dark. read more

The beer is what I would characterize as "OK". I've not yet tried the food -- but, judging from what I've seen on people's plates, it looks pretty decent. Long story short, I've been here about a dozen times (solely to imbibe libations) and the beer is pretty unpredictable; ranging from "hey, not bad!" to "my god, it's tepid urine!". read more

I passed thru Columbia and wanted some good local food and beer. They were running a local morel mushroom special- sautéed in white wine, butter, garlic, greens and served on a croquet. SO BOMB. I had the Lindeman's Lambic, also very good. I was super super disappointed in the pizza I had; mushrooms, greens and cheese over a spicy marinara. After the killer appetizer I was expecting much more than skimpy toppings on thick, unremarkable crust. Service was great for a Thursday night. I'd go again but avoid the pizza. read more

We had a large party, (15 or so), and were celebrating a graduation. The waitress asked if we were celebrating a graduation, we said yes, but she never brought it up again. Our group tried several of their house brews. A pretty good variety of ale products and I was particularly impressed with their coffee expression. Not quite as good as Boulevard's, but close. I was also impressed with the Wee Heavy, a Scottish style brown ale. very flavorful, but not too heavy for an afternoon beer. The menu is pretty original. I had the turkey club. It was served on a fair sourdough, had lots of turkey, and tasted good. Their chips were house fried, but I don't think that they were actually home made as they looked and tasted just like the ones I have had at lots of other places. In any event, they were definitely not blanched, cooled, and then fried crisp, which it my way of thinking, is the only real way to do outstanding chips. Overall, service was prompt but not personable, food was good, but not outstanding, beer was good. If in Columbia again, I would go back, but I wouldn't go out of my way to do it. read more

Was surprised to see an overall rating of 3.5 stars. The food is consistently wonderful at this restaurant. Nothing fancy, but every dish they make has a wonderful taste. Once we had a salad that was sub-par, and one of the owners noticed it as he walked by. He gave us a $15.00 gift card to compensate us for it and also took it off the bill. We go there as often as we can. Bloody Marys are amazing, top-shelf liquor, nice wine list, trout is always amazing, and the trout fritters are to die for. Meatloaf is outstanding. I always have a hard time choosing what to eat. Everything is wonderful! read more

I want to love this place so badly but alas I think it will not happen. I usually give a restaurant or three strikes and you're out rule. But living here and my husband working downtown this place is always a choice for groups we go out with. I have been here a dozen times and everything I have tried has never been good. Today I got the burger which I ordered medium and came out well done it had no taste. I didn't get the side I ordered and the soup was cold. We waited way too long for our food. The staff is always so nice and their beer is awesome. But I would just drink here and skip the food for your next destination. Oh and if you like bacon anything that comes on it gets so overpowering you can't taste the rest of the ingredients. read more

Unique flavorful beer. Appetizers were incredible (Porter dip, sriracha wings & trout hush puppies) Entres were very good too, i had the mushroom truffle pizza and it was perfect. My brothers had superb looking sandwiches with a mac and cheese and house cut chips. They were impressed as well. Would definitely return when in town, and would recommend to anyone in the area. read more

Excellent Sunday brunch! I ordered the farmers Benedict and it came out perfectly cooked and tasted awesome. Our waiter was very attentive and polite. The manager was sincere in asking if everything was ok. Most of the ingredients are local from Missouri and organic. The ketchup was homemade in house and was very good. read more

The food & beer are really good but the service is lacking. Luckily there is good beer while you wait. The Nitro Stout was so creamy and the Honey Wheat is refreshing. The fish hush puppies were excellent with the bed of kale chips & the Meatloaf Patty Melt was home on bread. read more

Went for brunch on a Sunday afternoon. Service and food were both wonderful! Our server was very friendly and helped us decide what to order. A live folk band was playing which added a cute country feel to the ambiance. We ordered the farmers Benedict (left) and the beans and greens (right). Both were amazing! read more

2013 We stopped here thanks to Yelp. The town was cute. We shared three bean dip and maize cakes. We drank Blonde on Blonde and Wee Heavy. Good tastes all around. The dip was garnished with the first good tomatoes I've had this year. The egg on the cakes: perfect sunny side up. Left with a growler of Blonde on Blonde. 2015 We stopped here again. The menu was different. He had shrimp gumbo and I had the cottage pie. Although it wasn't quite the menu we were looking for, I do appreciate that they take the care to change the menu. We tried several beers and our favorite was the Black Honey Boone Dog Brown. read more

I had never been here before but was TOTALLY surprised by how awesome the food was! Not what you think of when you think of "brewery food" Oh, and the beer is awesome. read more

Their food and drink are always excellent. We were in this weekend and our service at the bar was excellent as always. To be honest, we have had variable service when seated out at the tables. But the bar staff is always excellent with food and beverages. Everything we have eaten here has been eclectic, but exceptionally tasty. Highly recommend as the coziest place in Columbia. The only criticism I would have is that there are often friends of bar staff or wait staff (or wait staff off-duty) hanging around the end of the bar and tend to be loud, annoying, and distracting. This takes away from the cozy factor but would be easily handled by a manager. read more

Good beer and good price! We will be back!! Not crazy busy, a pretty good croud for a weekday . The staff is friendly and its very laid back . read more

I am on the fence about this place as well. I want to give it more stars for various reason; however, I want to give it less stars for various reasons. First, one reviewer said the restaurant keeps firing the head chef, so the menu keeps changing. I don't know if that is true, but it appears to me the menu changes due to seasonal ingredients they use. This is very good and is not so good. The ingredients are typically very fresh with some interesting items to choose. Sometimes the items on the main entrée menu are incredible to the point one wants to lick the plate. Other times, the dish falls flat and is tasteless. I can see what the chef wanted to do, but didn't execute. All and all, the food is really hit or miss. However, the brunch menu was usually spot on. I haven't had a bad brunch; however, they took the eggs benedict off the menu which was my favorite. The brunch is just enough and not gut busting. Added a few pints of beer and the occasional Sunday blue grass band, it can make an enjoyable, but lazy, Sunday afternoon. Second, the service is hit or miss as well. I have had one waitress that was very good. She explained the items well, made sure we had drinks, and was prompt with the bill. I have had another waiter that tried to be funny, but was pretty annoying. Then I had another waiter who thought it would be cool to talk in some sort of weird dialect that was neither cool or understandable. Third, the beer. Again, hit or miss. Their standard beers are pretty good. I like their Double Rye and Barely Wines. However, I have had some that were downright undrinkable. I have learned the waiter or waitress will given you sample if you ask (and the waiter/waitress is good). I would get a sample if you have never had it. All and all, as you can see, it is a hit or miss place. Hence my three stars. read more

Good food. Good beer that's fresh and on rotation. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Brunch is solid but can be busy so get there before the rush. read more

Love, love, love the atmosphere. For a small in house brewery they really have quite the set up and beer is really good. This place is definitely not your hamburger and fries joint. It is for those with a more finer palette but without the incredibly high prices that usually accompany fine dining. Plus, they have a childrens menu. Yes, kids are allowed! So, if you're looking for something a little different from the usual that is delicious without the high prices I highly recommend Broadway Brewery. read more

sat at the bar on a weeknight. cocktails were great. bartenders were friendly and cool.
