We absolutely loved our experience at Hidden River! The food came out so quick, and was absolutely delicious with great portion sizes. The beer was amazing. Staff is super friendly too! read more

Went here with my son and we had a great afternoon! I got a really good triple IPA and my son whose younger got a birch beer lol. We had a nice time sitting out on the deck and it was packed with many people and families. Love going here and plan to visit again very soon! read more

I learned about this brewery on social media. Was intrigued by it being in a very old and very haunted building. It's an hour from my boyfriend house so we decided to go on a Saturday afternoon. It's a nice property. Went inside to have a beer. You order food inside and are given a number. We sat outside and the food is brought to you. We sat outside on a beautiful day! They have a nice deck and trees on the side of the property. It was very nice. They do also offer tours of more of the house that isn't available to see during regular brewery business hours. Oh and the two guys behind the bar were really great. Awesome personalities, friendly and made you feel welcome! read more

This could be my favorite place in the world, and I was a Disney Vacation Club member. Special Saturday drinks and cheesesteaks with Amigo Dan. No cheesesteaks at Hidden River. I am working on a soon-not-to-be double secret project, so we stopped at Hidden River. I am glad we did. This place is haunted. Top ten most haunted places in America. According to a woman on Google Maps, you can buy tickets online for the haunted house tour after the brewery closes. Plenty of parking. Plenty of places to sit. Inside, outside, bar, and garden. Friendly crowd. A guy bought us and a few other people a drink. I loved my beer, so I had two of them. Amigo Dan tried two different beers and liked both of them. Tease, we were there for the beer. Sorry, I was feeling under the weather, and Amigo Dan was making me drink massive quantities of alcohol; I didn't get any video of my beer. We got the bar pretzel. It was amazing. It came with beer cheese. The beer cheese was amazing. It was creamy and added a lot of flavor read more

We have been coming here for happy hour for years now. They offer good IPA selections and others. Property is full of history which you can learn during the ghost tour. Good spot for everyone to enjoy themselves. read more

Hidden River Brewing Company - Soft pretzel - Breweries Near Me - Douglassville, Pennsylvania

5/6/2023 My son was looking forward to taking us to Hidden River Brewery. It's in Douglasville but it's ultra close to Gabes/Coventry Mall. There is a very Ample parking lot and I can always appreciate that. The building is historical and really cool. Since it was so nice outside I felt free to explore the dining rooms. It's also billed as one of the top 10 Haunted Places in PA. I would love to come back for the ghost tour. The guy pouring drinks for us was Andy. Such an opulent personality and very friendly. I was the smart one in the group and ordered my food right away when everyone else ordered drinks. I'm glad I did too because it got busy and then the rest of my party ordered and the food took quite a while- that's the only reason I pulled back one star. When you order the food runner "finds you" with the table number you're given at the time you order. The menu was good and simple. I ordered the figgy panini which was fig jam, cheese, arugula (I think?!) and sliced pears- it came with chips and a pickle. It was delicious. Also had the cinnamon sugar pretzel bites. My husband ordered the Italian Italian which was a zesty Italian sandwich made with high quality meats. Apparently they do have food trucks sometimes but that was not the case when we were there. I don't drink so I tried the Limonata San Pellegrino and seltzer water. Enjoyable but would be nice if they expanded the non alcoholic selections. I liked how jugs of water were readily available. We sat on the deck and it was a perfect day- even saw a Heron Flying overhead. I would definitely go back if I were in the area. read more

I could not be a happier person having found this place. I was looking for a brewery to grab a quick bite, a beer, and to read a few chapters of my book when this place popped up in my Google search. Lord, did I find the most amazing gem in Hidden River Brewing. First and foremost, apparently it's haunted!? SOLD! The brewery is located in an old house that has significant history and I'm excited to learn more about this property. Advertised on the tables and at the bar was a Valentine's Day Ghost Tour (which sounds amazing). The outdoor seating looked huge with a large wraparound deck, picnic tables, and tons of seating. I can imagine they get crazy busy when the weather is nice. That was my first impression. However, when I walked in, I was STUNNED to find they had 2 bars with dining areas and...now wait a second for this...the most INCREDIBLE seating area with a fireplace, bookshelves, old decor, etc. I mean they really leaned into the haunted building thing. If you're the kind of person who has always wanted to sit in an old study in a mansion and read dusty old books while sitting by the fireplace, this place is for you. I cannot stress enough how cool this place is. If I lived closer I would be here several times a week. Okay, now we've gone over the ambiance - let's talk food, beer, and service. The bartenders were super helpful as a newcomer (order at the bar, take a number and put it on your table, etc.). Very friendly and attentive. The menu was small but in a good way. They know what they are doing in only having a handful of options - it means the kitchen doesn't get too backed up and food comes out promptly. Think a few paninis, sandwiches, and things to munch on. Nothing crazy. I got the Nosh Board (cheeses, meats, pretzel, and pickles) and it was larger than I expected. It came with a whole deliciously warm pretzel, 3 kinds of cheeses, and 3 kinds of meats. Honestly a lot more than I expected and perfect for sharing with the table as you enjoy the delicious beer. Oh yes, the beer. So good! I love IPA's and they definitely delivered. I can't wait to try others. Long story short, this is my new favorite brewery. I've told so many friends about it and look forward to coming back here time and time again. Plus, if you're driving from Philly like me, you can stop at the outlets on the way home. I can't wait to come back! Maybe for the Valentine's Day Ghost Tour??? We will see! Keep up the good work Hidden River! read more

Yummy! Great beers. Lots of ipa's. Husband had the Hibernacular. I had the Cryptic. Order from bar. They have opened up a lot of new rooms since we were here last. Service great, friendly and quick! Cozy rooms with a Victorian vibe. Fireplaces and decks all around for the better weather! read more

Awesome ... especially for hop heads! Interesting place with lots of different indoor and outdoor spaces. We chose a table on the outdoor deck ... but could have easily enjoyed ourselves inside at 1 of the 2 bars too! I got the (extremely yummy) Uttu (9.2% triple IPA) and DH had (equally nice) Recite (5.5% pale ale). The Cuban Panini was good ... but a little on the small side especially for $13. The Nosh Plate ($13) was also decent and very shareable ... especially with the super tasty pretzel. read more

You know that feeling when you go on a REALLY good first date with someone, the kind of date where you can't stop thinking about the next time you're going to see them? Well, I went to Hidden River for the first time this past weekend and let's just say that I think I'm in love. Nowhere in Pennsylvania short of perhaps Tired Hands in Ardmore have I had more delicious beer. And, for those who have been, that's kind of where the comparison of those two breweries end. Where Tired Hands is cavernous, Hidden River is quaint. Where Tired Hands (or the old-management Tired Hands, I should say, to be fair) felt almost goth-like in its if-you-don't-get-it-whatever ethos, Hidden River is laid back. And where Tired Hands made people line up for hours for can releases, everything Hidden River makes is in cans (at least for now). I sampled five beers: Templum (an English Bitter that was potently refreshing and served as a nice getting-to-know-you beer), Lava Channel (a 2x IPA that was creamy, fuzzy, and sweet-tart all at once), The Satyr (another 2x IPA with an entirely different vibe--hearty, with backbone, but still bright), Glazing (potent and spicy), and Hold on Fast to Dreams. And, oh, my aching heart, Hold on Fast to Dreams. It's the Pale Ale I've been looking for all my life: golden in complexion, endearing in its softness, and demure in its effervescence--confident yet humble in appearance. Our first kiss was life-shifting, a surprisingly full-bodied beer for its petite 4.8% ABV, with worlds of flavors crashing and splashing all over my palate: fresh-squeezed orange juice, perfectly ripe pineapple, something wonderfully soothing, like lemongrass or lavender. I even think that, at one point, although I am not sure because of the delicate nature of its delivery, Hold on Fast to Dreams may have slipped me some tongue of peppery hops, but just a touch. Just enough to make me want more. Yes, the farmhouse is beautiful, the can art is gorgeous, the outdoor seating area is lovely, and whoever is doing the music is rad. The food is decent too. Everyone working there seems nice, though the service is basically you. But all those factors sort of slip away when you drink the beer. They become background. Because think about it: On really good first dates, it's not the place you want to return to. It's what brought you to the place. read more

Went here on a Friday night with my wife. Service is great, bartenders are cool, the little house that it's in is cool. The food is good but do to limitations with cooking the options are limited and expensive. There is a food truck that shows up but that's a separate business. read more

Great spot for a physically distanced beer on the patio. They have a nice set-up -- you buy your beer inside then grab a glass on the way out to your table. The beer is delicious, especially if you appreciate hazy IPAs. I really enjoyed the tertiary gems & bought a 4-pack to bring home. They have light bites, or you can bring your own food to satisfy the food requirement. Looking forward to returning, especially when it's safe to be inside again (their indoor space seemed really cool). read more

Definitely a great spot to relax after a long week! Plenty of seating inside and outside on their deck. Plenty of beer to choose from and wine for those non beer drinkers. The food is delicious. We all ordered the Figgy Pear Panini and we were not disappointed. Such a great sandwich and the watermelon in the side was a great touch (I'm not a pickle eater so I totally appreciated it!). read more

Rude staff. Terrible food - limited and heavy/unhealthy menu. Too many trendy IPAs. Not worth the drive - great location just wish there was better management. read more

Great beer and great atmosphere! The two bars are attached to the historic Brinton Lodge. You can grab some beers and then do a ghost tour in the house (Aaron is a great tour guide!) There is also a very spacious outdoor bar and eating area. The food is great, I suggest the pretzel and charcuterie board. read more

I feel like I just stumbled into an some alternate universe where the beer flows like water and the people are friendly and having fun! The farmhouse maze wanders room to room with so many places to chill and enjoy good live music. No food on Sundays but you can bring your own. People have their kids here and such a diverse group of happy patrons. So magical! read more

Fantastic IPAs in a historic/quirky old lodge. Lovely outdoor seating in the summer. In the winter we enjoyed bringing games and hanging out with friends in one of the back rooms and then wandering around looking at all the curious relics of a former time. Great live music on (some) Sunday evenings. Will definitely try to go to one of their special events/tours in the future. Also, LOVE their collabs with Levante and La Cabra...great stuff coming out of here. We tried their food for the first time too and it was great (unsurprisingly)! *I have never had an issue with customer service here and I was just there for the third time, so this seems to be hit or miss or singular to just one employee perhaps. read more

If you are looking for quality beer in an amazing atmosphere, then look no further then the Hidden River Brewing Company. Stopped here on a Saturday afternoon and ending up staying for quite a few hours. When you first arrive you will probably miss the turn, we did! Look for the little sign in front of what looks like a house. Inside there is the main bar with all beers on tap. Tried the Wind of the Mountain (IPA) and the Cold Nights (sour IPA). Two of the best beers we have had. Near the main bar are a few tables to sit at. Then going down the hallway there is a room with tables and couches to sit. It looks like a library (books and games aplenty). After that room is the kitchen bar where you can order food at as well as sit at one of the many tables. There is also a ton of outdoor seating. The Soft Pretzel Plate was one of the best soft pretzels we have ever had. It was fluffy and delicious. Wild Turkey Grilled Cheese was delicious. The turkey was thinly sliced and the sandwich was made with a dill sauce. Smoked Pork Tacos were spicier then what we were expecting, but still good. Food was extremely filling. Great beer, food, and Customer Service. We cannot wait to go back! read more

The beer is great. You can tell they use a lot of ingredients in the beers because the flavors are a lot stronger than what you may find at your local ber distributor. I like that they tend to make a lot of West Coast IPA's whereas everyone is doing NEIPA's these days. They also tend to have "less popular styles" like ciders, pale ales, and saisons. I know this isn't the focus of a brewery, but the food was good. I would not go out of my way to have dinner here, but if you're visiting and you want dinner, it's a good option. They have a seasonal menu with local ingredients. They are often sold out of to-go options. They have can releases about once a month, but they often have fewer than 100 cases. The can releases are also held at 10am, but the bar doesn't open until 2pm. I would like to see them hold the can releases later in the day, or open the bar earlier when there is a can release. read more

As with any business, sometimes people get their panties up in a bunch about small things and trash the business on Yelp, and other times people have such a great time that they overly praise the business on Yelp. I love reading through reviews of my favorite places before I write my review and seeing what off the wall stuff people come up with. This is a brewery. This is a tiny brewery. This is a world class brewery. The building is apparently haunted. Every time we've been here, the staff is always friendly, helpful and answers questions. We have not gone for food since they added "real food" , we used to come back when a beef stick was all you were able to get (which honestly made it ... I don't know, cooler I guess, in that they just did beer), and it seems to have begun hitting its stride as an amazing restaurant that happens to brew beer which does in fact bring a different kind of guest into the establishment. The beer is top notch. World Class. THe IPAs are tropical and delicious most of the time. The stouts we've had are good. They know what they're doing and they do it well. The pre crowerling of cans makes all the difference in wait times as you can funnel out the people who are just there for take out beer and take care of the people who want to go have a beer on the gorgeous out door patio. The patio is a fun place to hang out in the spring/summer/fall as the brewery is on a little creek and its so relaxing to hang out, drink a great beer and enjoy the views. Stop by, have a DIPA and prepare to see why maybe you should open your mind past Miller High LIfe. read more

Although the beer list and atmosphere was great, our whole crew had an awful experience here tonight that resulted in us all walking out. We were celebrating a good friend's birthday so there were a lot of us there and it was already crowded. The long haired, short fused, middle aged bartender, made several angry outbursts at some of us who apparently were standing in his way, but none of these compared to his outburst towards my friend's 3 year old daughter. When he felt like she was in his way he called her a little s*** and also cursed out the parents. We walked out and all agreed never to go back. Its a shame that a great place like this can be tarnished by one guy who never learned kindness and customer service. read more

I love it out here. Such a relaxed, charming brewery with awesome outdoor patio and really fun indoor spaces. They have food now (mostly hot sandwiches), with lots of local sourcing. The beer is all consistently tasty, too, with some interesting brew styles and flavors. Could easily spend a whole lazy weekend afternoon here with friends. Only complaint: no flights. read more

We had a great time here and we even went two days in a row for our kid free Valentine's Day weekend! Their food menu is to die for and each week they have a unique menu with food made with fresh ingredients. We are vegetarian and this place had many (if not all) healthy options. It was hard choosing what to order both days we were there. The drinks were amazing! They had beer, cider, wine, and kombucha. I drank the kombucha. It was delicious! The atmosphere of this place is really fun because of the historic landmark. Each room had a unique vibe. I can't wait to come back again in the summer to enjoy the outdoor atmosphere and the summer menu. We also enjoyed playing all the games they have and even bought merchandise to take home :) read more

Great beer, friendly staff, owner is super sweet. Love the environment inside and outside. Food is delicious!!

Mostly IPAs on tap which made me happy. Also had two meads and red wine options for my wife who doesn't drink beer which was a nice surprise since it's not on their website menu. Basic food menu... Cuban panini is good but seems small compared to the fajita panini that seemed to be missing something. Overall good experience and nice atmosphere. read more

Really cool atmosphere! Definitely schedule yourself a tour if you are interested in the history and haunted aspect! We did a Friday the 13th tour last October and it was really cool to see everything and learn about the Brinton Lodge. Really great beers and munchies here!

If you're a fan of craft brew, come here and try their selection. Always variety and always something good to drink. For me personally, the food can either be amazing or not (admittedly, I have a picky pallet) but I go for the drinks more than anything. It can be a bit pricey with food but that's because it's locally sourced food you can feel good about eating. They connect with local establishments to procure items for their menu and I really appreciate it. My favorite staple item off the menu is actually their chocolate chip cookie with lavender sea salt, yum! read more

Finding the way to the beer is the only tricky part. Someone will help you once you get close :) Once inside, you will be very happy. From the warm, friendly service to the super creative craft beers and locally sourced small plates, you will depart quite satisfied. Be patient with getting your beer or food, as this place has become super popular in a very short period of time (just over one year), but they take great care in being sure you leave with a smile on your face and plans to return very soon. 12 beers on tap gives everyone something to enjoy. Sometimes a cider too and a couple options for local wine. Not sure what you like? They'll get you a taste or two to be sure you make the right decision. This is not quite the place to bring the entire family for dining out, but even if you do, they'll do their best to take care of you. Just a heads up: you order beers and food at the corner of the bar and they will give you a number to find you shortly after (if you opt for grub). Check their hours and know that they don't serve food before 4pm on Saturday or on Sundays at all. BYOF encouraged on Sunday Funday. Local music monthly in the back room and a must visit during Halloween. The lodge is haunted after all. read more

We frequent the brewery, almost every Thursday (the best night) and mostly every other night they are open as well. The beers are amazing, Tom and Jenna do a great job with the food. Jill and Doug are great owner/managers. Staff is super friendly, like family, this is a Cheers kind of place for sure. We have also enjoyed a few different ghost tours, run inside of the old historic Brinton Lodge portion of the House. Eileen who runs the tour schedule is very knowledgeable on the history of the home and Aaron who does the actual tours is a great performer. I have even captured apparitions in photos! We have enjoyed other types of entertainment here as well. Free music Sunday's, puppet shows, variety shows and more! Any time we want to show off our great taste in beers we always bring our friends here. Love you HRB!! read more

We recently came to Hidden River to celebrate a loved ones birthday. Expecting at least 30 guests, including children, we brought one tomato pie and fifty soft pretzels to the outside dining area. It was not long before friendly yet belligerent staff approached us with the news that outside food was not allowed from Thursday-Sunday. Before we even had a chance to take the food back to the car, they chastised us once more, threatening they would tell the manager. Fuck you and your fucking rules. Smarten up... you just lost thirty repeat customers. By the way, tell that angry barmaid to get shorts that fit properly. read more

In my opinion Hidden River is making the best beer in Northeast PA right now, better than the beer I've had recently at my other favorites Tired Hands and Levante. Sure the place is a little quirky, the staff are all super friendly and they don't always have food, but who cares. You go for the beer. When I did have the opportunity to dine there, the lamb burger was amazing. Can't get much better than a great beer and a great burger. Also a great venue for a concert. Enjoyed the Jeffrey Gaines show immensely. Can't wait to go back in better weather and sit outside. read more

First of all I will say, ITS HAUNTED..for sure. Did the tour of the lodge and I promise you. (That was my side note). The brewery is great! I tried 3 IPA's and was impressed! Its amazing they put a brewery in an such a gem of a building. I've been to over 100 breweries now and this is in my top 3! Enjoy! read more

This brewery is literally a hidden gem. If you love good beer, you will love it here. Best IPAs around.

Over this place. Now only serving beer in cans..it's a mystery if they are open (very sparse, random hours) and it's a miracle if you can somehow make it there between 3-6 if you have a day job. Went a couple weeks ago for the first time since Covid hit and they were not serving food. However you can bring your own... but it takes away from the experience. The food was pretty good when they did serve it. Over the "get in line and order" your own food and beer concept...that's not why I go out to eat. They never have anyone working in the outside bar...again, go get in line concept. The staff are the least friendly people I've ever met. They act like they are doing you a favor by waiting on you at a counter. I really never understood why they are so unfriendly. Maybe they only hire introverts? Beer drinkers are usually happy people. I never saw anyone excited to tell me about their beer. They're like "it's on the paper" ....and I swear every IPA they make tastes the same. It is good beer, and nice to sit outside. So there's that, but not much else. read more
