    White IPA

    If I could give Lion's Roar 6 stars, I would! My favorite local brewery - always a great variety of beers on tap and cans to bring home! The front of house staff is the best - shoutout to Maddy who always greets us by name and makes us feel so welcome! I go for regular trivia nights and it's always a great time. On a quieter night, try their outdoor patio. So much fun and covered so you can enjoy even in not great conditions! Any beer lover in the area needs to make this a stop on their list.

    I live for breweries and I never go to any city without trying to stop at every brewery I find through Yelp :D I stopped by the last time I was In Westfield but it was early and they don't open until 4 so I made sure to be in the area after said time the next time I was in the area. This place was on our way to eat after leaving another brewery so we stopped in to grab a flight before heading out to eat, but we also ended up having a pint as well. It's a nice sized brewery with a great atmosphere. There is minimal parking beside the building so we parked up the street. There were a lot of people here enjoying themselves and a little party was going on and it was nice to see people eating their food they brought and smiling while also enjoying their beers. We ordered: Flight - Grisette, Marzen, Raspberry Sour, WC Session IPA Pints - Raspberry Sour and Black IPA Every beer we had was excellent. The staff were friendly and the vibes were chill. They have board games as most brewery do so we took advantage of that and played a couple. Great brewery! See you soon :) Sláinte!

    Small but fun local brewery with TVs indoors (great for catching a Devils game) and a nice outdoor space with heat lamps for the colder months. There are a nice variety of beers on draft to choose from, including some seasonal brews. The drinks are just a tad pricier than I would've expected, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Also note that it's BYOF - we grabbed pizzas to have with some beers and it was great!

    So nice to have a good brewery in Westfield. Right near the busy traffic circle with statue of Clio mounted high above town. Nice server. Good beer options. They were setting up for trivia night. We got beer to go too!

    I hosted my fiancé's 30th birthday at Lions Roar, and it was amazing! The staff was incredibly accommodating and friendly. I had many questions and they were all answered. They made the entire experience stress-free for me and enjoyable. They provided us tables to hold all the food we brought which was great. They also provided us with a table, cups, and water for water pong. Our guests had such a great time! The beers were great, the space was perfect for the 22ish people we ended up having and definitely could have held more, and the outdoor heaters kept everyone comfortable, even on a chilly and rainy night. I couldn't have asked for a better spot to have his party. Highly recommend Lions Roar!

    My best four legged buddy usually joins me on Wednesdays. I appreciate that they allowed my buddy to watch me drink inside on Wednesdays. During the winter it was too cold to be drinking outside even with propane heaters. I usually get whatever is seasonal. I really liked the red ale for St. paddy's recently. There's a few restaurants around if you need food. I've gotten delivery from the pizza place down the street. there's also a couple tv to watch sports.

    Certainly wouldn't recommend the "hazy ipa"

    Certainly wouldn't recommend the "hazy ipa" but the music was good. Other beers we tried were fine.

    By far my favorite brewery in this area. I try to come often to taste any new offerings. My first time here, I was blown away by how good their fruited sours were and I was hooked. It's a small brewery as you can tell by the equipment but it's in no way related to how good their beers are. I usually find myself inside the front room where there are a couple of TVs, but I don't watch. I usually play COD. It's pretty quiet Friday afternoons but haven't stayed long enough into the evenings. I noticed the other day that they have trivia night, so definitely worth checking out. It's very laid back.

    Beautiful Venue, Disappointing Experience While the James…read moreWard Mansion is undeniably a unique and beautiful venue, our overall experience was unfortunately disappointing. Leading up to our wedding, the owners were uncooperative and made the planning process more stressful than it needed to be. Since the venue claims that my concerns are unfounded and an anomaly of their 5-star reviews, here are the specific examples of our less-than-favorable experience: The week before our wedding, during our pre-event walkthrough, we discovered that the owners had made several cosmetic changes to the venue that were not communicated to us in advance. While we were notified of larger renovation changes, some major cosmetic changes were neglected--such as white-washing the exposed brick in the atrium area. This change, while likely done to expand the appeal of the venue, should have been communicated to a bride ahead of time and not discovered a week before the wedding. This lack of transparency was unsettling and frustrating. Adding to this frustration, the day before our wedding, the venue allowed us an hour to set up our chuppa for the ceremony. While my husband and his brothers were there, the owners stood with their arms crossed, watching them put together the chuppa, claiming my husband was damaging the floor (which was not true), asking for ID and proof of insurance, and generally exhibiting intimidating tactics. This added unnecessary tension during an already stressful time. The owners admittedly thought my husband was a vendor, but this does NOT justify nor dismiss their behavior and attempts to intimidate him. This behavior was unprofessional and left a negative impression on us and our families. During setup on the day of our wedding, our florist was placing flowers on the fountain in the atrium. My planner was called by the venue's coordinator and questioned about the flowers. However, at our pre-event walkthrough the week before, the venue had a representative present who knew that we planned to have flowers on the fountain and never mentioned that it wasn't a possibility. Lastly, the morning of the wedding, I paid extra to arrive early to use the bridal suite to get ready. The owners reside in the building next door and there is a hidden door between the two buildings. This access point leads to a catwalk directly outside the bridal suite. As we arrived and were getting ready with hair, makeup, and dressing, the owner came from his next-door residence right onto that catwalk outside the bridal suite. The owners were well aware that we rented the space that morning and should not have accessed the venue while my bridal party and I were in the bridal suite. After how they treated my husband the day before, it is easy to interpret this surprise visit as more intimidation by the owners. Most disappointing was the venue's response after the wedding. I asked my planner to arrange a time for me to directly discuss some of these issues. My planner was told that they refuse to address my concerns and feedback, claiming instead that my issues lie at the feet of her, my planner, and our caterer, and that their plethora of 5-star reviews speak for themselves. I, too, reached out directly to discuss these issues with the venue's coordinator and was met with the same resistance; my text message was ignored. This unprofessionalism and disregard for our concerns were extremely disappointing and added to our overall negative experience. Here is my response to their claims: My specific concerns are with the management of the venue and their treatment of us and our vendors. No venue should rest on their laurels of 5-star reviews and ignore a less-than-favorable experience by a customer.
