Always a nice time (but)... starting to notice where "these" kind of places are becoming a babysitting / kids playgrounds. I'm sure (new) parents are desperate to get out but it is diluting the experience (for me)... always good beer byo (food). Maybe set up a slide by the brewer tanks;) read more

So the first time we tried this place a while back it was OK but nothing outstanding. Two weeks ago we decided to give another try because the beer was decent and I'm very glad that we did. The beer was absolutely delicious. I can't even remember the names of the ones that we tried but each one was better than the next. I will say it's a little bit more pricey than other local breweries and there's not a lot of seating but even if you just wanna stop in and grab some to go, I definitely would recommend this place. Also , it is family, friendly and so clean. read more

Gearblock was recommended to us by a bartender at another brewery. It's been on my list to visit for a while now and I'm glad we finally were able to stop in. My husband and I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon. I tried the saison, the kolsch, and the Pilsner. All were very tasty. My husband had the brown ale and enjoyed it. Next time we have to come with snacks ! read more

Stopped in on a Friday evening. Located in a strip mall with plenty of parking (and food options if you want to buy and bring food in) Pet friendly (a few dogs were there on my visit. Place is very clean ( even bathrooms), odor free. Friendly staff. Love when you go to a place for the first time and it's easy to strike up a conversation with ownership\staff. As the name implies ( Gearblock), it has an automotive tie-in with decor and names of beers: Alfa ( one of my favorites, an Italian Pilsner), Driven, Fahrvergnugen ( homage to Volkswagen ads of yore), Standard Coupe.... Good selection of beers. Surely something for everyone. I look forward to going back. read more

Great place with great beers on draft. They consistantly rotate them in and out and will provide advise and guide you in directions. They also have beers to go as well. Located in a strip mall, they have food trucks come and set up in the lot when it is nice out and allow you to bring in the food. I am there easily once a month. read more

This place is absolutely awesome! The beer is great, and the people who work here are the BEST. I'm here on a MOBBED Sunday afternoon, and the two working behind the bar, Ally and Ron, treat everyone like close family! Get here soon! You will not be disappointed. read more

Heading home from EXCEL physical therapy in Ridgewood North, Waldwick, , I decided to stop for one beer to watch the start of the NCAA sweet 16. I tasted some hazy IPAs and then had a flight that included a stout. Was watching NCAA basketball at GEAR BLOCK brewery, open three years now, and found inve Perusia , Open two years, is around the corner in the same plaza. They do free delivery, just a short walk. They sell slices and have plenty of room for a sit down family dinner. Price seems reasonable. Tagliatelle Bolognese was hot and tasty. At Gear Block a group of 10+ people were having pizza salads appetizers, hanging out not really there for the game. The bar was pretty full as well as folks at a couple of tables. We'll try it again . Very tasty, local, micro brewery. read more

First time ever coming and I already am excited for the next time to return. We were here for a private party which was awesome. They close the brewery for your event only which was a nice experience. All of the drinks I had tried were phenomenal. I love IPAs and sours and my favorites were their Lead Sled IPA and the Shakedown Street Guavaberry sour. Service was amazing here. And the parking lot outside is ample and provides easy parking. read more

Visited GearBox when I saw Cousins lobster was parked outside. The sour beer was awesome ShakeTime was the name I believe. Would have had more than 1 but I couldn't get another beer. I stood at the bar for a substantial amount of time and was never acknowledged. Two people behind the bar and no beers being poured. Need more attentive servers. read more

This is such a fun local brewery in New Jersey! We met up with a friend here for a few brews. The beers were very tasty. I like that there are several different glass sizes, so you can choose to get a small taster sized beer if you want. Also, the prices were very reasonable. I really like the saison beer. They don't serve any food here, just FYI. They have a few snacks behind the counter, but you are better off bringing your own food (which they allow) or ordering in food from one of the nearby restaurants. The service was prompt here. The restrooms were clean. The brewery space was not too crowded. The place was family-friendly! All-around a great place to meet up for a beer. read more

We really enjoyed our quick stop here at Gearbox Brewing Company. We got 4 short pulls: Harvester, One Way Trip, Axel Revolt, and Last Car On The Lot. All were excellent representations of their specific styles. Our favorite was One Way Trip, a hazy NE IPA - delicious! It was packed with flavor and just the right amount of citrus and hops. It didn't have a kick you in the butt hoppy finish, which I liked. Loved the atmosphere! I like the modern-industrial look. Great place to hang out with great staff. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Staff were quick and pleasant serving us. Definitely a place I'd like to hang out in. read more

Great IPAs, not too bitter for the hazy ones I tried, but instead nice and fruity smooth. Food is available nearby. Crowded but friendly atmosphere. Excellent service read more

Took a half hour ride on a Saturday afternoon to pick up some crowlers for a weekend party. Place was closed for a private party and they wouldn't fill crowlers. I dunno--maybe mention that in your website or something? Been here before--service was great, beers were decent, but today's trip was very disappointing. read more

such.damn.good.beer! you might be turned off at first since this is basically an outdoor strip mall, but grab a free parking spot and head inside. the atmosphere is fun and alive in here. GREAT servers and very informative on the beer they serve - they also are fans of the beer! they have flights (peep the pics for the cool round wooden tray). high top bar & a few tables, but theres also a small outdoor section in the front. the selzters, porter and stout are my fave so far. they just opened and they already have a large selection on tap & im looking forward to bringing my ass back here to try some more. read more

Beers and Seltzers are amazing! My husband and I went here a few weeks ago. It was a Friday night at around 5 pm and it was busy, but the service was amazing and the staff made sure to take the time to answer our questions and accommodate us. The beers and seltzers were so good. We will be back! read more

IPAs are great. U Turn and numb hands are delish. Great place, people, and beers! I highly recommend picking up a growler or 2. read more

Nice place. I'm sure everyone's first thought is "what? It's in a strip mall?" Correct. It is. But that means it's easy to park and it's a cozy size. I liked the beer choices - not too crazy on the IPA's and Sours which is a trend I don't like. I think you'll find something you'll like here. The explosion of breweries in NJ is interesting because each one is setup differently. This is the one in a strip mall. I plan to return. read more

Great venue. The beers I tried were great and the staff (one of the owners) was awesome. Not a large space but clean and inviting.

Have been going almost weekly since they opened. They have a solid rotation of beers, and the seltzer is the best in the area. The taproom is great, and at least one of the owners has been there on each visit. Extremely family friendly. The strip mall they are in has a great sushi/asian place and a pizzeria. Can't really ask for more. Recommend you stop in and give it a try. read more

We are always looking for small businesses to support and are thrilled about this fantastic place. Family business, warm & welcoming staff with a carefully crafted selection of great beers on draft. It was an absolute pleasure chatting with one of the owners and for us it is first and foremost about how patrons are received, these folks just get it right. We will be back read more

Amazing service, great local beers, the owners really care about their customer's satisfaction. Nothing like hitting a local brewery after work for a quick 1! Def try the Numb Hand! read more

Love this place. Intimate but super cute for a date night or couples date. Love the seltzers, I had the peach. Bartenders very friendly and personable ! read more

We've been a few times and haven't had a bad brew there yet. The only negative is that it isn't open more days if the week.

Great brewery! Happy to them in the town! All the beers I have tried have been wonderful. Really great balance in selection there will be something for everyone! read more
