We love First Line! Always great food and good selection of wine, beer, seltzers, and cocktails. Friendly staff and fast service. Great for catching sporting events. Live music is a great touch on the weekends, but can be VERY loud as they use amplifiers while the building is already quite small. I would probably come more often on the weekends if the music wasn't so loud. Difficult for conversation, but great for sports. read more

First line brewing is centered around first line workers. My friends and I went on a Thursday so we could go for trivia. They have an option for customers to pick a type of first line workers (nurse, police officer, etc.) and they can buy a drink for them that can be redeemed on their first visit. There is a tally board with the types of occupations and how many drinks are available to redeem when you first walk in. We are nurses so we each had a free drink! The beer was great! My favorite was the Flyin' Hawaiian which is a Swedish fish sour. Anywhere that offers flights has an amazing beer rating from me! The option of trying multiple drinks lets me figure out my favorite from the place and allows me to try ones that I do not want a full glass of. The food was delicious as well! Definitely smaller portions for the price, but the burger was properly cooked and seasoned. The fries were fresh and hot. To start we had jumbo stuffed tater kegs which were 10/10. They didn't give you many, but they were delicious. Definitely would come again! read more

I came to meet up with some friends for Taco Tuesday specials. It was my first time here. Nice place with a theme that honors all first responders. First line is a brewery, whisky bar and restaurant with bar food options. Taco Tuesday had $5 margaritas and order of 3 carnitas or beef tacos for $13. I tried a lime margarita and carnitas. The tacos are sold on a flour tortilla but I was told they sometimes have corn shells. They were fresh out yesterday but the server was able to make me a plate of nachos instead. I appreciated the help and menu substitution. The carnitas was delicious and the portion was generous and plenty for a hungry person. The margarita was perfect, and strong. Service was very good! This place also has garage doors which open up to make this more of an indoor patio for nice weather. Some outside seating as well. read more

Saturday afternoon was our first time visiting First Line Brewery. We were seated immediately and welcomed by our very friendly server, Molly. She was so helpful and made sure to keep checking on us. We started with some delicious brews: Bitch'N Betty and Cold One. We also ordered a couple of Shareables: fresh cut fries, and Tater Kegs. Both were well prepared and very tasty. I wished there were more Tater Kegs in an order( only 5 and I had to share them). I loved the ambiance of this place, especially the big American flag. We bought a drink for a first responder (Pay it Forward), which we thought was a very cool concept. Keep up the great work! read more

Tater kegs 10/10 Amazing as always! Hot and crispy! Still my favorite! Black & Blue burger 8/10 Decent burger. Thin smash burger patty, cooked well done today, a little too much for my liking, but not bad. Not as good as last time. I think they forgot the aioli. The only thing I would change (aside from putting the aioli on) would be to make the patty just a little thicker so it stood a chance to be made medium rare. I do like that they separate on 2 plates when splitting with someone, makes everything easier. Garlic parm fries 9/10 Really good. A lot of garlic parm flavor on them. Subpoena colada - sour beer 10/10 Sour and a great flavor. Really like this a lot and wish I could get some cans for at home. read more

Came in for a bite and beer but the kitchen had just closed. It was 6:10 and they close at 7, so I would expect all other days it'd close an hour before closing. We tried the four IPA's and two were to our liking. They were really good too. I got a Dynamite (NEIPA) and he got In the Clouds (American IPA). Nice and quiet despite a few tables of people already eating. Two people came in and asked if their Goldens could come in. After confirming they were quiet dogs they said yes. There was a tv in the bar area and two more by the tables. Located right off the Armor Duell's exit of the 219S. read more

I think it would have been appropriate to give us something off the bill. Disappointing considering the cost of wings On the good side, the seltzer there is very good as well as the rest of the food we ordered. read more

Love this place! They have a great message, attentive and kind employees and the beer is tasty and well-brewed! The Hop Drop and Roll is similar to a Southern Tier IPA or Hayburner...so delicious. The Alpha Bravo Citrus has such a nice citrus note that is more prevalent than many IPAs. The Yabba Dabba Duuuude is actually really good. It looks like pear juice but man is it a tasty IPA, so don't be afraid of ordering it. Had the M.O.A.B chocolate stout and wow does that pack some intense flavors. Love it! We did not order food except for chips but it looked really tasty! Kudos to you First Line Brewery for a wonderful experience! read more

I had a great time with a friend here one afternoon. We sat at the bar, and David waited on us. He was very attentive and chatted with us frequently. I tried the Stew beer which was a New England IPA and it was fabulous. My friend tried the Bitch'N Betty and Peanut Butter Pie and she loved both. They even have a beer, called Beer! We did order some apps too, the fried pickles and jumbo stuffed tater kegs. Both were so delicious, but I'd highly suggest the tater kegs. They look like little kegs, bigger than normal tater tots and are packed with flavor and some sour cream on the side. It was larger than I expected inside and they do open the outside in the warmer months. Although on a busier road, it wasn't too hard to get in or out and they have a decent sized parking lot. I'll be back! read more

Cute place right at streets edge with a front and back patio and upstairs area too. Beers are unique. The juicehead beer has kick of orange and would be a great brunch choice.Theu have a nice selection of handheld food and snacking items and a whiskey menu too. the Bitch'n Betty is a blueberry beer. This beer only got more of a blueberry flavor after the fresh blueberries sat in my glass for a bit. The open air garage doors make for a comfortable setting on a summer's night. read more

Stopped here for dinner on a Wednesday evening, the brewery wasn't very busy. We were greeted promptly and directed to choose whatever table we preferred. The hostess was pleasant and attentive. We were greeted promptly by our waitress who explained the beer choices (they serve only what they brew). I ordered a stout and my wife an ale. Mine was crisp and tasty. We ordered food as well, the menu is a bit limited, really designed just to complement the beer. I ordered a steak sandwich and my wife ordered a burger. Both the sandwich and the burger were ok, completely edible, just not outstanding. This is to be expected as their focus is clearly on the beer. The restaurant seats about sixty on the first floor and thirty something on the mezzanine. The surfaces are mostly hard making it on the noisy side. A great place to watch the street traffic with large overhead glass doors facing the street and private parking lot. Axe throwing was a one time thing outside so far. All in all not a bad experience, we might return, just nice to have another choice nearby even if we don't get there every week. read more

This place grew on me the second time around. The first time I went, it was near their grand opening and I found it kind of loud, small , and none of their beers blew me away . I noticed they started a Wednesday trivia night , so I arranged for a few of us to check it out! We all had a pretty good time ! I ordered an Apple pie hard seltzer and it was pretty damn tasty (and only $5 a piece that night ) I ended up having a couple of them . The trivia set up was fun and relaxing and that Wednesday had the perfect noise level. Our server was attentive and willing to hand out samples of some of their beers to try first. There was a very strong odor when we first came in , maybe the barely/hops .... But it reminded us of a farm . Nothing a couple drinks couldn't dull! Didn't try anything from the food menu this time around, but someone in our group won the $25 gift card for coming in 1st place for trivia , so perhaps next time? BTW, yours truly came in 2nd! Cheers! read more

I really like the energy in here. Staff is welcoming and accommodating. Lots of community involvement for sure. Cops, firefighters abound, offering to help keep this growing business during time of struggle (2020-2021). The music has been a nice change of pace... lots of country in an otherwise suburban setting. Beers have some work to do. Lots of what seem to be additives in many of them?? Though I really enjoyed the "Mr. Nice beer"... advertised as a NEIPA (w/ pink guava pineapple and lemon notes) but drinks more as a "tropical drink melting in you hand"... name that tune? I didn't get to try their food. They just started up with their kitchen but I did look at their menu... standard fried food / burger pub joint. From the looks of it, there is good interest in keeping this business alive as new renovations are moving ahead nicely. read more

The vibe is great, but I'm not sure about the drinks! The lemonade seltzer pictured is not carbonated. We let the server know and she said that's intentional. If you're interested in alcoholic lemonade it's for you, but for our crew, not so much! Also they say they serve Pepsi but it didn't taste like it at all so not sure what's going on there! I had some pickle chips those were alright. The menu says fresh fries and they are frozen ones. The live music was great and good atmosphere though! read more

Great place and very welcoming for all different types of people. Really awesome that they included a Covid friendly outdoor space and we were warm the whole time. Beer was great, we started with 2 flights to try everything. Landed on a really good beer called Bitch'n Betty which tastes just like a blueberry muffin and We The People which is a light blonde ale. Ordered the pretzels to start and they were served with a spicy mustard and a beer cheese, everything was individually packaged including silverware. They were really good. Ordered the chicken club sandwich and the cheesesteak hoagie for dinner. Food was good, not like out of this world, but filling and tasty without feeling like I had so much I wanted to pass out. Left plenty of space to enjoy more of the delicious beer. Awesome vibes and they donate a portion of their sales to a charity for vets or first responders every month. Also all first responders get a dollar off each drink which is cool. Really cool and chill vibe and really conscientious staff who knew their stuff and were very friendly. read more

Was windy so they put the fire pit on, after 15 we asked to turn it off because it was too hot. We had to go up to the bar & order, flights are not served outside.

Food: 0/10 Alright this is the third time I've come to this location. I'm trying to be fair but the bad food is consistent. For instance tonight I got the "campfire" plate which was fries, Mac and cheese, chicken, and brisket. Fries? Too hot to eat first. Mac and cheese? Literally colder than room temp and DRY! No cheese...like cold dry noodles? The brisket was slimy and small portion sized, the chicken was fine I guess. Everything else was so gross though by the time I got to the chicken I didn't care. I've come every time with my family of 4, and all 3 experiences were the same. I wish the food was anything but what it is because I'd love to come back here. I'll never recommend it and I'm actually just going to give away my $100 gift card to anyone who wants to dare to eat here.

We had a bit of difficulty finding the way back to the patio as every inside space was full with parties but when we reached their huge patio we loved the space.

Next time I'll give another sauce a try. But the beer was pretty decent, it was difficult to really enjoy it but that was more a me problem. Overall pretty impressed, we definitely wouldn't mind a second trip

Live Edge Brewing has become a New Year's Eve tradition for my family the last few years as we'll…read moregrab a beer flight and socialize then head home for dinner (get off the roads before all the party-goers are out). I was surprised to see I haven't written a review but I always have a good experience here! For my mom's birthday, she wanted to grab a beer flight and dinner at Live Edge Brewing. We arrived on a Saturday around 4:45pm and took a parking spot close to the entrance. They have a good-size parking lot so no concerns about finding a space. We walked in and saw the "wait to be seated" sign and soon afterward, a young woman came over and asked how many in our party and where we'd like to sit. The three of us decided to sit on their back patio. We picked a table and our waitress soon followed with drink/food menus. All of the tables outside had umbrellas to help shield from the sun, which on this Saturday was out but the temperature was perfect and there was a slight breeze to cool it down a little. The one oddity we had was that our drink menus didn't match as my menu had more taps listed compared to the others I was sitting with, so I ended up getting a drink in my flight they never saw. I slight hiccup but honestly, you can't be too upset with a drink in your hand! Our waitress was young and incredibly personable, friendly, accommodating, answering all our questions about the food and customizing our orders how we wanted them. We might have let it slip that it was my mom's birthday - Our waitress brought her a birthday cake shot to celebrate, which she loved! Our waitress let us take our time sampling our beer flights before placing our food orders. The wait time for our food was very reasonable, maybe 10-15 minutes, I can't remember as we were having too good a time chatting and sipping. For dinner, I ordered their Nashville Hot Chicken Sammy, which is a hand-breaded toaster-oven-baked chicken breast topped with provolone cheese, pickles, and their Nashville hot sauce between a brioche bun and served with a side of tater tots (a small upcharge from their default chips). The sandwich was delicious! Now, for you spice lovers, I didn't find this sandwich very spicy, it was more about the flavor, the tang of the sauce. I didn't mind it not being that spicy, the flavor was excellent! The pickles were thick and had a nice crisp to them and the provolone cheese paired so well with it all. The tater tots were fried perfectly with a crispier exterior but hot, pillowy-soft interior - For the small upcharge, ~$3.00, they were worth it. The portion sizes were perfect as I was perfectly full, I wasn't uncomfortable. The price of my meal was reasonable as well, especially seeing how everything's costing more in 2026. Live Edge Brewing is not only a family favorite but for me, it's a hidden gem. The friendly, laid back, yet still attentive service and country atmosphere have us continuing to come back each New Year's Eve, and now, this could become a new birthday tradition!

The service was really good, and staff was solicitous and friendly, despite it being quite busy. The food was delicious. The memu was typical fare, but with added flair. Side sauces for apps and sandwiches. I got a huge chicken sandwich with bacon and provolone cheese, and a beer and the price was very reasonable. To top it off, they had live music, a singer, guitarist, Kevin White, who was really enjoyable, and took requests! I would recommend this place highly.

We sat inside instead and there was plenty of seating. It's a huge building, and you order everything at the bar. There were 2 bars open as the main line was very long at times. I got the croissant French toast. It was pretty good, but wasn't entirely filling. It said there was vanilla custard, but it must've been baked into the bread itself, as I was expecting it more as a topping. It took quite a while to get our food, but that was okay. My husband ordered the biscuits and gravy, but sadly they ran out so they comped his meal and gave him another choice instead. It was really nice that they did that. The brunch entrees were affordable and the staff was nice.

Ordering is a little slow with one cashier at the counter, and people browsing the menu for a long time. The food doesn't take too long to come out though. Of the samplers that we tried, it was the corn that we liked best. Nicely seasoned and cooked perfectly. Unfortunately the proteins themselves weren't either. Both were dry and overcooked, and the brisket was lacking in flavor. What bits of the rind and crust were left on the brisket were good, however. The beans were very sweet, and the potato salad dry. We stopped in after a long hike and were hungry and we ate everything, so it was not a bad experience. We had, unfortunately, fell victim of the hype and were expecting more.
