Great, unique solid beers. Definitely come sample a few if you enjoy craft beer. Where else in Ocala are you going to get a Beertini? Tyler is a great bartender/ server. The pork nachos were layered properly and there was no chip without toppings. Perfection! We know the host that does trivia on Wednesdays, Jason and I know it would be fun but I hear you may need to make reservations to play. read more

This place Rocks! Tyler is great! Food is good. Grill cheese with bacon is my go too. Like this place alot! Only a mile or so from my house.

A seriously adorable little brewery in the perfect stop for us on our way home from Hart Springs. We stopped by on a rainy afternoon and were delighted by the inventive menu with tons of new favorites. The Thai pizza was absolutely delicious, with a creamy peanut butter sauce drizzled on top and perfectly complimented with a juicy hoppy IPA. The kids had a great time playing their variety of games and drawing on the giant chalkboard wall. While it was an early afternoon, it was clear that the brewery hosts a variety of evening events, including trivia and music. If we lived closer, we would definitely come back and visit again! read more

Been open 6 years and I just discovered Hiatus. Was just expecting microbrews but the pub food was awesome. I highly recommend the Pretzel Bites and Wings. We went with 5 ounce beer flights to discover our favorites. Tyler the bartender was very informative and helpful. I shall return. read more

I've driven by this place a few times and I finally had a chance to stop by and check them out. It just happened to be July 4 and it was pouring rain. I ran in and sat at the bar. There was about five or six people inside, but the place filled up as time went on- with every bar seat taken by 8 PM. Taylor, the bartender, was super nice and helpful. He gave me the food menu and let me know that the kitchen closed before bar closing time. They had a weekend special of a fried bologna sandwich, but I went for the pretzel bites. I also had a flight of beers; they basically let you have as many as you want and they're all the same price. I really enjoyed the black IPA. I had quite a few mini beers. There was really only one that I didn't like. It was their beertini, which was a riff on a gin martini and it even came with olives. Some people like it, but it just wasn't my style, which is weird because I actually like gin, and martinis and olives. The local crowd was awesome. I talked to everyone at the bar. They were very welcoming. They have a mug club, which has a six month waiting list. There's a limited amount of mugs and prior mug club members have priority to reenlist before new members are inducted in. Each year the mug is different and has a number on it so you know which one is yours and you keep the mug there. Mug club members have special events throughout the week and they get either a larger poor than regular customers or the same poor at a cheaper price/discounted pours. Mug club membership is $140 a year. They also have access to new brews before the general public. They have trivia on Thursdays and that books up fast, so you need a reservation for that. Very cool locals bar and super welcoming. I will definitely come back. read more

Came here for the first time on the day after Christmas and it was SLAMMED! I felt so bad for the waitstaff because it was a full house with only 1 bartender, 1 busser and 1 chef. Took a good while to get our food but they were super apologetic and kind. Hopefully they can have more foresight on staffing for busy days! The chicken tacos had great flavor and were super affordable. I felt like there should've been more meat in the shells but otherwise very tasty :) read more

The beer was good and the staff was friendly. The food was good with several vegetarian options . Highly recommend.

Nice spot for a cold brew. It's a chill place to hang with the locals. Tyler is very attentive and easy going for conversation. They also have good eats - their wings are delicious! read more

Good beer. Outrageous pricing. One beer, one basket half full of pretzel bites... may be 15 pieces? $25. read more

What a place. Our second time here as a great dinner spot on the way home from Atlanta. Had the "Everyday is Saturday " and "They Call Me Baltastic" (a Kõlsch and a Porter) with dinner. I had the Thai Flatbread and my companion the Smoked Wings with Lemon Pepper rub for dinner. All were top-notch. The bartender was both professional and friendly. They were patient as we hemmed and hawed through both menus! Two "thumbs-up " A must stop if you are passing through, and for those lucky enough to live in or near Ocala, a great addition to the craft brew rotation! Go! Now! read more

Great craft beer in Ocala. There are a few standard offerings but always something new to try.

Very nice atmosphere, clean, friendly staff, beer and appetizers were very good! I had the "everyday is Saturday", we ordered the nachos, pretzel bites, and hamburger pizza. All great! read more

Delicious craft beer and food, you cannot go wrong stopping in here for a bite and a brew! Many yummy flatbread choices among other hand held delights but my go to's are the chili dogs with beer cheese and the hot cheesy olive dip - YUM! Service with a friendly smile tops off the relaxing experience, see you there read more

Came here for my first time. Took the one server about 20mins to come to our table of 4, which isn't his fault because he's the only one serving. Then you have this one family playing in the bathroom with their kids running around. The 2nd server didn't show up till 45mins. Mind you, she was sitting at the bar having a drink. Not really liking my experience here. When the drinks they were actually really good. Oh and if you want water, there's a water fountain with cups in the corner of the stores that the server showed us. read more

Came in after doing some shopping, no one was there to greet us so we sat down at a table. After 20 minutes I realized we weren't getting serviced unless we went to the bar. I ordered a beer and some wings. The wings are advertised on their menu for $12 but were told that they are now $17 for 6 wings. If you want ranch or veggie sticks it's an additional $3. Fine, it is what it is, however after 30 minutes of waiting for some wings, the bartender let me know that the order was never printed out in the kitchen and that they'll be out shortly. The beer and wings were good but based alone of the service and lack of communication I would not return. I still tipped 20% because in this economy, everyone needs a hand. Please update your menus they are misleading. Your bartender had 2 patrons at the bar, it would cost her nothing to provide better service. read more

Great service, with a friendly and helpful staff. Nice variety of food, with great flatbreads, sandwiches and wings. About a dozen beers on tap. All of the ones we tried were very good! Definitely worth stopping in when you're in the area.... read more

Leave it to Ben to find a way to get in a brewery while visiting his mother. Not far from their new house in Ocala is this small, vibrant brewery. They have a list of different beers that they make but they also have guest taps with ciders and drinks for those who want something different. This was great for Ben's mom as she enjoys ciders. Mostly on tap were CiderBoys, which is a great brand/brewery. They also have food but we were just coming from a late lunch. They are also listed on Craftapped. It is an app you can sign up for that gives you 10 BOGOs per month. Ben signed up in January when it was on a special for the year for only $10.00. That is insane and Ben has gotten his money out of it a few times over again already. We used it during our visit (especially since this is so far from us) so two beers for the price of 1 is always a great deal. He got Hiatus Pink Boots Blend 2021 and Still Hazy After All These Beers. I can see this being a stop in our future when visiting his parents as it's less than 2 miles from their house. read more

Went there on Labor Day. Sat at the bar and tried 4 different beers. One was made with Pumpkin. it was so good. Others were also delicious. Had tacos and they were so good and refreshing with Cole slaw and tomatoes. We will definitely return. read more

Neat little brewery with some good beers. They have a small kitchen, but they have daily specials.

Decent enough local brewery in Ocala. They have some good tasting ones made here. I enjoyed their sour a lot. For a small brewery they have a lot of food options and that was a welcomed surprise. I ended up getting their Cuban which was very good. Service was okay but not great. read more

Established in 2019, this small brewery was a great stop after snorkeling devils den. The chicken basil Flatbread was flavorful, I tried the session IPA, a Belgium IPA and the milkshake IPA, which was the best out of the 3. Friendly barkeep, parking wasn't an issue. Highly recommended. read more

Always a go-to when I'm in Ocala. I've never been disappointed by the beer and the Cajun Wings are on point! Great beer, great food, great service! read more

Small menu of mostly bar munchies. Everything we ordered was pretty tasty. No atmosphere, no design theme... waitress was a little scatterbrained but still very friendly. The two beers we had were good -one of them currently being brewed on-site The bar was full of folks enjoying beer, but we were the only ones eating and seated at one of the long communal tables. Chairs were cute and colorful but uncomfortable. I think they need to figure out if this is a bar or a restaurant - if it's a restaurant they need to work on the ambiance... if it's a bar, it needs music. The giant tables are awkward and don't use the space well . Another customer suggested couches. Although the product was good this place does nothing to invite you in or make you want to stay. read more

Hiatus Brewing Company is Marion County's undiscovered gem of microbrews. It's certainly not the biggest, and certainly not the flashiest of breweries compared to the larger brewers in the area. Not until you taste what they are brewing, that is. Hiatus brews some of the most delicious, well balanced, expertly crafted beers that I have had in memory. One (apparent) regular told me that the owner brews everything in small, 3 barrel (6-Keg) batches himself. It shows. Every beer I tried here has had the complexity and smoothness of the most expertly crafted home-brew. The Still Hazy is a delicious, citrusy NEIPA, One Hit Wonderful is a perfectly balanced, dank IPA with Citra, Mosaic, and Amarillo hops and great malt profile, and Not Sorry is a rich, luxurious stout with a hint of peanut butter. Lately, I've noticed a trend of flavored beers, and beers that taste like they might have after-brewing additions to change the taste or make up for shortcomings in technique or ingredients. Not so at Hiatus. Even the Not Sorry, a peanut butter stout, tastes like peanut-butter powder was used, not a flavor extract. This brewery stands out for excellent, classically brewed small-batch beer. They even offer small glasses without the usual premium on pricing to let you taste a few more than you otherwise might be able to. read more

Great, stop on a Friday afternoon. Got a seat at the bar and began chatting with the very friendly bartenders. A good variety of beers on tap to meet everyone's taste. On this stop I tried the One Hit Wonderful IPA and Still Hazy IPA. Both of the bartenders recommendation and neither disappointed. I'll be back the next time I'm in Ocala. Do not let the location at the end of a strip mall fool you. Both locals and visitors were treated very well by staff. read more

Good selection of beers. Service was great. Nice environment to hang out and have a few craft beers. Family friendly.

Bright place with good indoor seating. There is also some outdoor seating available. They have beer and food here so thats always a plus. They didn't have a flight beer option here but they do serve a smaller poor (like 4oz) for like $2 which is a good sampling size. I didn't think there were pretty busy when I went but the server did spend more time with the people sitting at the bar and kinda ignored the people sitting at tables. All in all they have some good beer and I enjoyed it. Love the name! read more

Great laid back place. We had a great server and the food was outstanding. I'll be going back soon.

Hiatus Brewing Co. is a wonderful gem for South West Ocala. The location offers ample parking for guests which is a huge plus especially during busy times. The interior is well lit and filled with fun colors. An awesome rotating playlist of punk tunes fill the open room. This is my second visit and now they are offering bar snacks to enjoy with your beverage. I say beverage because Hiatus offers locally brewed beers made in house, rotating taps of larger breweries, ciders, wine, and even a select few Champaign options. I went for the One Hit Wonderful and found it very enjoyable on a hot day. Snack wise we went for the street corn nachos. My goodness. They were out of this world. Like eating street corn on top of a pile of delicious chips. Definitely a solid choice when looking for a snack to accompany your beer! Make sure to stop by and enjoy a beer if you find yourself in South West Ocala! read more

This is a cool place to grab a beer and a bite to eat. The menu is not extensive but everything that we have tried is delicious. Definitely would recommend the nachos, they are really good. The beers are cold and tasty, I can't really remember what ones we have ordered because I am writing this review late, it's been a while since we've been there, but I like to support businesses that are doing a good job. Hiatus is doing a good job. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

We love to try local flavors of food and beer and this place did not disappoint! Great service and awesome food and beers. We got the "Don't Look Back in Anger", " Pleasant Disposition", a bacon grilled cheese, and the CB&J. Our favorites were the Don't Look Back in Anger and CB&J sandwich. read more

Food is excellent and the brew master makes some excellent beers. They have a few regulars and some great seasonal brews.

Hiatus Brewing was just the place for a cold brew we needed! After a four hour tubing ride down the rainbow river, our group of 5 surely enjoyed the taste fresh ales of Hiatus brewing! The only knock is they didn't have stickers available! Will for sure come back again! read more

We had dinner at The Hiatus Brewing Co last night. Hiatus is clean, well laid out, has a pleasing atmosphere with helpful and friendly staff (Adam & Katie) Tom, a beer lover, was more than enthused while trying some of their brews. I am not a beer drinker but I did try a couple of their cocktails with 'Giggle Water' as the base. 'Giggle Water' is gin, vodka, bourbon or tequila inspired wine which makes for some interesting drinks. I tried 'Bees Knees' and a 'Rita'. Our dinner starter was Skillet Nachos with added chicken topped with awesome home-made sauce. Yum-eee. We also had Lucas Franks...Beef-Chili-Cheese. Tasty in a unique bun. Capacity at this time is 50 people with seating also available outside. The capacity allowed will increase with Florida's return to 'normal' (COVID-19 rules) read more

Great neighborhood brewery. Enjoy stopping in every couple weeks for a cold brew and a big pretzel. Staff is always great and they have several tv's for sports. Hiatus has a few of their in-house brews and host several others. Always cold! Good food as well. Definitely worth a stop in. read more
