Amazing food! Dining al fresco! They do have a crazy thing where if they don't have a button for it, you can't order it. For example, you can have a root beer float but not a ginger beer float even though they have ginger beer. You can only get 4 things on your pizza, not 5. No substitutions on the specialty pizzas. Sometimes the service is amazing but sometimes not. Don't get there within half hour of closing because they want to be gone at closing time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is beautiful![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Pros: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great outdoor shady seating[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Wonderful service Get flights up to 30 Farm to table food Creative dishes that are so unique Cons: Non dairy option of pizza was only meh and kind of boring Ladies bathroom was out of order and the family bathroom was dirty and needed attention Pro tip: So many draft options you are bound to find one you love so be open to trying something new! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]No offense to the inside, but the outdoor patio is where Little Fish's brews and bites are best enjoyed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]At night, the lit path from the patio to the satellite parking lot is the stuff of dreams for your social media posts.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This place has a large, diverse selection of beers which ironically isn't the case at every brewpub. Their food menu is a little tighter, leaning on pizzas partnered with a couples of burgers and small plates. All was good! read more

We love this spot so much our daughter asked to drive here from Columbus for her 7th birthday. The piemento dip is her favorite and our other daughter loves the olives. My husband is a fan of the Detroit style pizza, which is perfectly crispy, and I love their rotating salads. The kale Caesar this weekend was so fresh and flavorful. We were huge fans of the corn risotto and the wine and beer selection is extensive and offers great variety. [[HIGHLIGHT]]These photos are from lunch last month and today on their beautiful patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]A special spot for our family![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]On my first visit, I liked the casual setup, long picnic tables and a giant beer wall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Took advantage of the a la carte flights and found 2 IPA's and a Nitro to have with our meals. We got wings and the Mushroom pizza. I asked them to add pepperoni to the my pizza - and was told "additions politely declined" - but they could add anchovies ??? The pizza was ok, but the anchovies overpowered the dish. On my second visit, ordered the "massaged"Kale Caesar salad which was adorned by cucumber and Parmesan - woohoo! The beer selection and friendly service are worth the visit. Not a fan of kitchen rules. read more

This is our second time stopping in at Little Fish! [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have the cutest outdoor patio space that is aglow with string lights and it is also pet friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Last time we were here, we only stopped in for beers and the chimi fries, but this time we got beers and tried their buffalo chicken Detroit style pizza. The pizza was HUGE and the crust was the perfect blend of crispy and chewy while the bread was so soft. I love Detroit style pizzas because they aren't loaded down with sauce and this was no exception. The very thinly sliced, pickled celery pieces were such an unexpected delight. We would both order it again! I ended up trying 8 different beers while we were here, 4 from the top that were light and refreshing or sours, and then 4 down at the bottom that were more seasonal, fall styles. I loved all 8! My husband started off with 6 or 7 right off the bat and then sipped on those throughout our stay, but we shared with each other as well. (If he took a photo of his flight, then I'll update my review with his photo later on.) [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sitting outside was a tad chilly, but we dressed warmly and also had coats in the car in case we needed them.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The dogs loved it because they have so much fur and we ended up loving it too because it kept our beers ice cold our whole stay. If you are ever traveling through the area or visiting to go hiking in Hocking Hills like we are, then definitely stop in to try some of their beers and their delicious food! Their staff are so friendly and it is a great spot for dinner to sit down and relax, while still being able to enjoy the outside, after hiking all day. read more

We stopped by Little Fish on our way to an Airbnb in this area for a quick pint and snack after being on the road. The bartender and our server made great beer recommendations. They have a nice variety of styles of beer, including IPAs, Sours, and Belgians to name a few. If you scan their QR code you can read detailed descriptions of each beer and the brewing process and ingredients used. Their menu looked great - we opted for just a small appetizer, the tinned fish, since my husband is a bug fan of sardines. Probably not for everyone, but they brought them out nicely dressed with some tomato sauce and edible flowers. I'd love a chance to come back and try some of their other menu items which all sounded delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is an open brewery with several picnic style tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The host stand will seat you and there is full table service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's a great outdoor space too, but we didn't check it out since it was crazy summer hot! The outdoor tables though are nicely covered and offer lots of extra seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A lovely brewery stop for anyone who enjoys craft beer and quality food. read more

Stopped for lunch here after a hike. The kale salad was amazing. Kudos to the chef!

Stopped by Little Fish since it had great reviews and we were in the area on vacation. It lived up to the hype! The beer selection is fantastic, lots of variety. Our host and our server were both super friendly and funny, and our server gave us some recommendations for stuff to do in Athens which was awesome. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We went by around 1:30 on a Thursday afternoon and had no problem being seated, there's plenty of space outside for seating and even some games. Really chill vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For food we got the pickled veggies and tinned fish (oysters) and the grape and Gorgonzola pie. The pickled veggies were so good, especially paired with the tin fish! Plenty of variety in flavor, really nicely assembled, all unique and delicious. The oysters with mustard were fantastic as well, can't go wrong. We liked the grape and Gorgonzola pie but it was very rich, so we took most of it home for later. My only wish is that it had more of the toppings (grapes, red onion, rosemary) because it broke up the richness of the super doughy slice with béchamel. I wish we lived closer, I'd love to try a red sauce pie. 10/10, this place rules. Stop here if you're traveling to or through Athens!!! read more

I've been there a couple of times. The service is always poor and [[HIGHLIGHT]]there were always too many kids running around there. We're talking elementary school kids.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is way overpriced for the quality. The last time I was there, a member of the staff asked a guy to leave for smoking a cigarette outside. So I guess outdoor smoking is bad, but getting drunk and driving around with your kids is ok. read more

Little Fish Brewing Company - A "Karmenfest" festbier. - Breweries Near Me - Athens, Ohio

Was in town for my brothers wedding. We went to this brewery as part of the rehearsal dinner. This is in its own private lot on the edge of college town. It has a beautiful outdoor area covering a couple of picnic benches with some cafe lights strung in between. Speaking only in regards to the food, the chimichurri fries were a great consistency and well seasoned. The chimichurri added a nice freshness to offset the garlic aioli. We also got the mushroom Detroit pizza. It was absolutely delicious. Full bodied with the bechamel sauce mixed with mozzarella. The oyster and cremini mushrooms added a lot of depth to the mix. It was well seasoned. Piping hot and crisp on the outside, gooey on the inside. Pretty impressed with the food especially for a brewery. Service was great. Although we had to grab our own plates and silverware, staff often bussed the tables and checked in on our large group. If I ever return to Athens in the future, I would come back for sure. read more

Great selection of beers, with 20 on tap and at least half dozen can options. Lots of wines, a couple seltzers, and some nice non-alcoholic drinks as well. I had the chicken gyro with sweet potato fries. The sandwich was super tasty, and the fries were perfect. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great service and a fun atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was February, so a little cold, but they have plenty of outdoor seating so I would imagine it's a great place to hang out once it starts to warm up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Food was fire, not the problem. I'll tell you the problem, my friends are too funny for these personality lacking employees. So jokingly my friend stuck her tongue out at ME, very clearly it was at ME, and she was asked to "please not do that in here" like it was funny and not at you? Mind your business? It's seriously the least you can do. Also i have a deadly nut allergy and when i asked to prevent me literally croaking i got an attitude. My bad natural selection has it out for me, we can't all be lucky. read more

We were visiting Athens and our first stop of the day was the brewery. It opened at 11 am and our waitress was so nice. She asked questions and was very friendly and easy to talk to. She took our orders as we did a flight, wife had a seltzer, and we got what I would say is the best fries ever. Omg they were so good. All of the beers that I tried were good. Liked the Pilsner's which were my favorites. The place inside is cute and outdoors. I can see this is the place to be on warm days here. Service was quick. This was one of our favorite stops in Athens.. read more

Three of us enjoyed a Father's Day lunch. The service was outstanding and it alone would be a reason to return. Outside seating was great for an early summer day.

Definitely enough for the three read more

This brewery was a great find! It is on the most beautiful piece of property and has an absolutely amazing outdoor patio! We had the greatest server that was so very helpful and had the most wonderful smile! I loved the beer selection! They weren't all my favorite, but it was really great to try everything from barrel aged to Sours. The bartender was super friendly, very helpful and had such a great personality! This is a five star brewery for sure, but I only gave four stars because the inside has a very funky smell. I'm not talking Brewery smell. I don't know what it is but it made you want to go outside very quickly. We will definitely return but will make sure that it is a day we can sit outside! read more

I am a long time Foodie -- who has been lucky to experience all that places like Los Angeles; London, England; San Francisco; New York City; Chicago; Denver; Albuquerque/Santa Fe, and now Athens, Ohio -- have to offer. I am happy to report that Little Fish Brewing Company not only lived up to expectations, but far surpassed them too. Being Diabetic, I shied away from sampling the vast collection of beers, wines, and other wonderful looking alcoholic drinks, though I did settle on a nonalcoholic Italian Pilsner that was quite tasty, while my wife settled for a said to be equally tasty Sparkingly Rose. We made it there for Happy Hour, so we decided to try some of their pickled vegetables while we waited for a shared Mushroom Pizza to come out. Oh, my God, the pickled vegetables alone were all uniquely cured and amazingly tasteful in their own and unique ways. It was like engaging in an Alice and Wonderland style exploration of tastes and textures. In fact, the experience of such was so incredible that we ordered yet another serving of pickled vegetables, which seem to vary greatly as well. (This is a small touch by comparison, but the serving of ice cold water in a wine craft to go along with our food and drinks was much appreciated!) The Mushroom Pizza then came out and was pure joy. The young man who met us at the door and talked to us, whose name I failed to get, was friendly and engaging and both my wife and I felt immediately at home. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Atmosphere of the Brewery is wonderful as well, and it looks like the seating arrangements outside would be just as wonderful if it weren't currently the dead of winter.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This was followed by our server, Sarah, who was absolutely amazing, charming, and helpful. The young lady from the kitchen who brought our food out, who's name I failed to get too, was an absolute delight. Look, this place isn't cheap, but I came away from this dining experience feeling as though I got everything that I paid for and much, much more. This is definitely going to be my go-to place in the future. read more

Great brewery with indoor and outdoor seating along the bike path. We went on a busy Friday afternoon and had to wait for an outside table but could not order food indoors which was strange. Good ambiance indoors and out with plenty of games to play inside and a grassy area for kids to explore in near what looks like the old ruins of home stairs. Covered patio outdoors and the service was good but you could tell they were short staffed for the amount of patrons they were serving. We got there during happy hour where apps are smaller and cheaper. The best food was the pizza, so amazing and deep dish!! read more

I came here for a work lunch and I was really excited! I've been wanting to try this place for a while now after living in Athens for 4 years and hearing about it. I ordered the chai stout and the jalapeño pizza without bacon. Wow was that pizza delicious. I cannot say how delicious it really was, you'll just have to trust me. They have such a wide selection of beers you'll definitely find one you'll love. I like the unfinished feel of it. It's a brewery and restaurant together which I find unique. The reason I didn't give 5 stars is because it's really really expensive. The pizza was $18 and there are some interesting smells from them brewing beer. But overall a great stop and definitely recommend. read more

Little Fish is my favorite brewery in Athens. Really. Yes it's better than Jackie O's. Even though it's not big it still has a big selection, along with food. The prices are good too. It is good to see another place to get local beer. Most people here have been to Jackie O's, whose product is very easy to find in stores across Ohio. This has a much smaller distribution, but I've seen it in some other bars in town. Many of the beers have funny names. There's a few IPAs, and some sours. One of these is the You Wanted A Hit. This is a Northeast style IPA. It's $5.50 for a pint. The rest of the beers cost about the same as this. Also while you're here get something to eat. They have opened an area you can order food. You go up to the window. Almost the entire menu is made from locally sourced food. They can bring the food to the bar or your table. It usually doesn't take long, unless they are extremely busy. The vegan tacos are $3 each, small but filling. The beer is much higher quality than people in town are used to. It still isn't that expensive. Try some of the food too. read more
