Comfortable, cozy, and thoughtfully arranged. The staff was incredibly accommodating and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The tasting itself was fantastic. The Coffee Liqueur was rich and smooth, and the Hibiscus Aperitivo Liqueur completely surprised me in the best way. It's vibrant, unique, and unlike anything I've ever had before. The Triple Sec / Orange Cello was delicious, and their Limoncello was bright, smooth, and perfectly balanced.Everything was so good that I ended up buying a bottle of each. Great atmosphere, excellent service, and high-quality spirits. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and unique tasting experience

I can't believe I haven't yet left a review of this distillery-absolutely in love,and have already…read morebeen here twice,convinced we'll be back. From interior to glassware,to actual locally distilled spirits and super welcoming staff as well as modern ambiance inside,I love everything about this place. The cocktail selection-from seasonal to classics-is impeccable (I personally love seasonals as it always surprises me with distinct flavors),and there's a food truck nearby,as well as an option to order food from a nearby venue (you scan a QR code and pay the bill separately from drinks ordered through the waiter,then they bring it to you). As you can tell,I'm a big fan and highly recommend anyone in the area a visit (or several!).

SOMERVILLE: Village Brewing Company absolutely adores their doggy visitors!…read more From their Village VIPs dog menu to the beautiful outdoor patio and the way the staff showers pups with attention, the love is everywhere. Dogs are officially welcome on the outdoor patio (perfect for people‑watching), and when it is not too busy, you might even get to bring your pup inside. Pups have even been spotted chilling at the bar. This brewpub serves up its own craft beer and a full kitchen menu featuring American‑style dishes made with local ingredients. We went classic with the big pretzel, a perfect snack, and washing it down with a beer was basically the icing on the pretzel (okay... cake). Beer lovers will be happy with options ranging from IPAs to ales to a refreshing hefeweizen. Brie devoured the grilled chicken, and we loved hanging out in the modern, welcoming space. Shoutout to Dylan, our awesome server who provided great conversation and great vibes. And a special hello to Justin, visiting from Florida, who has two cavapoos waiting for him back home.

Went to Village Brewery on May 6, 2026. Overall the service was good and the food was exactly what…read moreyou would expect from a brewery. If you're looking for a good time where you can watch a sporting event, enjoy a wide selection of beers, and not spend too much money, this spot is definitely for you. One downside was parking -- I do wish it was a little easier to find a spot nearby. Other than that, it was a solid experience overall.

Brooks Brewery is located inside the Northside Lounge in Manville, NJ. It was the 101st brewery…read moreI'd visited in NJ. They actually vaguely have a similar set-up to Troon Brewing and the Brick Farm Tavern, in that the brewery doesn't have its own formal tasting room, and a full service bar is the exclusive tap for the brewery. Northside Lounge actually has a separate Yelp page, but it's hard to review each separately because they overlap. You can order cocktails or other kinds of beer. They have basic food items available, too, which are inexpensive. The Brooks Brewery list is on a dry erase board, as pictured. IPA snobs won't like them. I thought that they were light, fresh, and drinkable. The Belgian cherry one was the best. They are a 1 barrel system. It's a very modest place, and it has a dive bar atmosphere. But there's charm. Friendliness is always important to me. Every single person said hi to me, from the brewer to the bartender to all the after work patrons. Manville is an interesting town. I thought that being in the part of NJ that it is, it would feel more upscale. It actually is a blue collar Polish town. It feels as if you're in the heartland of the country. I enjoyed the overall experience at the Brooks Brewery even if it's not the most posh brewery in NJ.

The peanut butter porter just tasted like flat doctor pepper and I had high hopes for that one. The atmosphere was underwhelming as well. Inside was run down and no one that was walking around was wearing masks. Not even the bartender was wearing a mask. Outside it smelled like ripe trash/ cigarettes with lots of mosquitos all around. Overall glad I tried it but wouldn't come back.

Oakflower Brewing was not on my lengthy list of breweries to try but I came across it and had the…read moreopportunity to try one of their beers and I am so very glad I did! I rated them pretty high in Untappd and I am going to carry that over here with a side five star score. I tried just one of their beers but it was quite impressive! The name of the beer was Long Hill Lime which is a Lager. It was very refreshing and very, very flavorful. I was especially happy to have this beer during summertime! Flavor features in this beer are lime, crisp, a dry aftertaste or finish. All of it blends together nicely. The beer is light bodied and "crushable " which means it's very, very easy to have more than one in a single sitting.

I went last Sunday with an old friends nearby and it was such a great time with all the features…read moreone would want in a local brewery. What is outstanding to us is the care which all the staff and brewers show as they are there. Clearly the same love is widespread as the place was full on a Sunday afternoon. It is pleasing that many were there with their kids showing that this local business gives to the whole of the community. The enjoyment of brewing has moved past mere pub secrecy out to the whole of the community. A long calendar of events of all types from pub trivia to local music to sponsoring fellow food, eateries and holidays are all helpful to promote the family warranted nature of this business as it's clear with a large number of newborns and families as might be unusual and yet should be normalized. All staff are knowledgeable in the brewing and hospitality skills to succeed now and for the long run. Point of sale systems are able to keep open a tab and clearly distinguish ongoing bills. The marketing keeps rights with the sign ups of emails and keeping customer histories. Branding is consistent and relevant leading to a nice, smooth, comfortable customer experience. The two bathrooms are both individual and there are plenty of amenities like nooks and crannies the chat in and coat hooks and ledges and more private corners and food trucks rotate thru the good seasons and lots of lovely people always. Cheers!

From the moment we arrived, the staff and management were beyond welcoming and accommodating. Unfortunately, we experienced an issue with our truck, and the team at Needle Creek Brewery truly came to the rescue. They went above and beyond to help us in every way possible, showing genuine kindness, professionalism, and support during a stressful situation. Amazing atmosphere, amazing people, and outstanding management. It's rare to find a business that cares so much about both their customers and vendors. We highly recommend visiting this beautiful brewery -- you will not be disappointed! Thank you again for everything! -- L'Acquario Seafood Italiano

I'm not proud of it, but admit to being a bit of a beer snob. As such I've never been one to visit…read moreevery local brewery in the immediate area, though with the prompting of friends I am game to try a few. A very special friend has been trying to get me to visit needle creek for awhile now, and she doesn't even drink beer. My first visit here with a few folks had me smiling more than is normal for me. And it wasn't just the beer. It was the whole vibe of the place. This seems to be a larger location than the few other NJ breweries I've been to recently, and they have more activities going such as music and food trucks. The last 2 times I was here the food was very good and somewhat reasonable in terms of food trucks. The musical performances have been much better than average too, on all 3 visits. With its large space inside and out you never feel crowded. As a working farm there are plenty of animals out and about, and the children love it. Perhaps my biggest reason for liking this place is the family atmosphere. On all occasions I witnessed several generations of families enjoying themselves while the kids and grandkids just danced to the music and chased the tolerant animals. When you think about it, how much better can it get than watching families have fun in a safe and supportive space. The beer, food and music all combine to create a place where humans can be humans in a natural environment. The mundane differences that usually separate us are put aside for a little while and we remember we are all one big family(ok, that may be the beer talking...) 4.5 stars!

NESHANIC STATION: Readington Brewery is a true farm brewery, growing ingredients right on-site…read moreincluding hops in multiple varieties, plus wheat, barley, fruits, and even veggies that go straight from field to glass. They have 16 options on tap, showcasing their farm-fresh ingredients across beer styles, seltzers, and even birch beer. Flights are always a must for us when visiting a place for the first time and we enjoyed every taste. Standouts included the Doppelbock, Mango-Kiwi Fizzy, Godhi-Real Peach Fruit, and the most unexpected favorite, El Diablo Chelada, a beer-meets-Bloody-Mary situation. Even as someone who usually skips Bloody Marys, this one won us over. Bold, layered, and wildly drinkable. Leashed, friendly dogs are welcome inside the stunning barn-style tasting room, complete with warm wood paneling, oversized wagon-wheel chandeliers, plenty of seating, Rutgers pride, and a peek into the production area. Outside, pups can stretch out on the spacious deck and lawn overlooking the farm. Bonus points for fire pits where you can cozy up with a beer. This is also a family-friendly spot with a great playground out back and loads of room to roam. Just be sure to check their website for 21+ hours. Bring your own food or catch whatever food truck is on-site, and don't miss their packed events calendar. Trivia, open mics, chess games, book clubs, bingo, and more keep things lively all week long. Farm vibes, great beer, happy dogs, and something always happening. Hard to beat!

The staff was ok but it seemed like they expected you to know what you wanted to drink. They didn't ask if I wanted to sample anything. It was almost as though they were rushing to move the line. And the line through the middle of the room kept me from seeing the live musician. There's gotta be a better system. I got the Raspberry Jawn and loved it. Didn't bother with a flight since I didn't wanna hold up the line.

No judgement. :) They moved to a bigger facility and you can order food from nearby eateries. They deliver. New to the town and can't figure out where to order some food?

Cool little spot to grab a great beer inside of the New Hope Ferry Market…read more It's just a mini taproom for their beers, but what I had was excellent. The server wasn't too friendly, but it's all good brother. I had a Hazy IPA while enjoying some food from one of the restaurants within the market.

Drifting Back to Lions Roar for Sure!…read more We ended the night at Lions Roar Brewing in Westfield and what a way to cap off an evening. The service was excellent -- friendly, attentive, and on point all night. The craft beer selection had some real creativity on tap. We were disappointed to hear the mango brew had run out -- that one sounded like a winner -- but the Mexican and lime brew more than made up for it. Bright, flavorful, and refreshing, it was a great pour that kept us coming back for more. But the real showstopper of the night? Drifting Back. This four-piece band was absolutely exceptional -- tight, talented, and packed with great tunes. They had the room in the palm of their hands all night. If you ever see them on the schedule here, don't miss it. A minor gripe about the sold-out mango brew aside, this was a fantastic night out at Lions Roar. We'll absolutely be back.

"NO FOOD HERE - BRING YOUR OWN FOOD"…read more Found this from Google Maps and tried this brewery . Google had good reviews and yeah . This was lived upto expectations . Nice location. Close to other restaurants. Parking can be challenging . I had to pay and park few minutes walk . Ambience is good . They had live bands some days . Lots of seats to sit and drink. There are both indoor and outdoor seating . In summer outdoor seating could have insects / mosquitoes and hence we had to move to inside seating . IPA was too good ! Love the fresh taste of hazy IPA. Service can be better . IPA closer about 10$ which is slightly expensive than other sports bars . First time . I didn't know we can bring our own food. . Went there and had nothing to eat and ordered a peanut packet . Lots of others got pizzas and other food from neighborhood, which is a great option. Good experience overall . 4 stars

The place itself was nice, nothing super fancy or Instagrammable, but it had its own charm. The service was great and probably the highlight of the night.

They have good beers on draft (sorry I forgot the name of the one I got but it was a porter). Give this place a visit but come early as it gets packed!
