I always try to visit when I am in town. The atmosphere here is amazing with a bookstore coffee shop type feel with couches and tables. The brew selection is great as I favor IPAs. The staff is friendly and attentive. I played bingo on my last visit while drinking brew. I also play classic retro arcade games on their free play machine which is one of my favorite things to do here. The pinball machines are great as well. I highly recommend that this as a must-see tap house and arcade whenever you visit Tuscaloosa! read more

Loosa Brews - Place was packed however I had all the arcade fun to myself haha! - Beer Bar Near Me - Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Great vibes and setup. You can go in the back patio for a more quiet setting, arcade room for games, or main area for the hustle and bustle. They had Singo going on so it was pretty loud. The restaurant seems to attract people of all ages. Service was speedy and the beer selection was wide. I look forward to returning and trying more types of out of state beers read more

Loosa Brews - Pineapple punch - Beer Bar Near Me - Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Came here on a rainy night when other bars seemed to be closed! I wanted to try their margaritas but unfortunately they had ran out of all except for the strawberry margarita; so we tried that and it was nice! Loved the cozy environment, they also have a backyard where they have live music bands performing sometimes! They also got some arcade games in the back. All in all a solid place! The only reason that I'm giving a 4 star is that I noticed that the drink was heavily watered down and when I asked for adding less ice on my second drink the bartender said they have to add ice to a certain level!!! I could taste less water and more of the actual drink with less ice on my second drink though! read more

Have been here several times! Last night I got the spiked Kambucha and they had live music on the back patio! I've come here before and played board games inside and they even have singo and $5 wine nights! Great atmosphere for family, date nights and the pups. read more

I have visited Loosa Brews to purchase wine. I found the manager to be very knowledgeable about the types of wine they sell. In spite of being very busy he did not make me feel rushed at all. It's a very nice place and looks well taken care of. I will definitely be back! The place hard a friendly vibe. read more

One of my favorite places in Tuscaloosa. We brought the dog, so sitting outside in the patio was preferred Was very nice to getaway and enjoy a beer with my spouse. This place is wonderful because we can sit inside if we get cold with the dog and it is no problem. Perfect for a simple night out! read more

My boyfriend and I stopped at Loosa Brews to see what they had to offer. We were greeted by staff and shown around the store a bit. I discovered that they were not a brewery but a store to purchase all different kinds of beer and wine. They don't offer flights, but unlimited tasting and then you pick which beer you will have on draft. We both tasted a few of their local brewer's Alabama beers. They had an out-of-state beer menu as well as an in-state beer menu. The lady helping us was very nice and friendly. Also, they even had some fun beer flavors (i.e. bomb pop, etc...) to try. We ended up taking home a crowler of their bomb pop flavored beer as we both really liked it. This is a cool spot in Tuscaloosa, Alabama to try all different beers from Alabama and also from other states! read more

Loosa Brews - a bar with a brick wall - Beer Bar Near Me - Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Sweet craft beer bar with an insane amount of beers on tap. Menu is integrated with untapped so you can check it out on their app and find the beer you're looking for. Game room in the back featuring some classic arcade games and a nice patio out back too. Must stop in Tuscaloosa if you're a beer fan. read more

Loosa Brews - Game Room - Beer Bar Near Me - Tuscaloosa, Alabama

They were tap house of the year in 2022 and they deserve it. Wish they had food or something to nibble on. Popcorn machine maybe? Beer selection is beyond compare for the area and the staff totally rocked. I'd go back. read more

Do not come here. They have charged my credit card for drinks I didn't buy! When I went to the manager Brad to have it resolved he said too bad. I have a signed receipt. They are thief's here! read more

Cool place even if you don't drink. I visited once for a study group session last year and it was a great place to hangout. It seems like an average, but still very nice bar at the front but the back features not only an outdoor patio but a room full of custom made arcade machines, a Wii, and great atmosphere! While I can't speak on the brewing itself, I'd recommend stopping by if you're in town and looking for a cool but lowkey hangout that's close to the Strip/UA. read more

Wish I'd had a couple hours to spend here. As you enter there's a maze of shelves with beer and other beverages. Then you get to the bar, with 2 screens of tap beers listed, around 20 on each, the left scrren is 20 beers made in alabama. As a portlander, it's great to see quality brewing speading around. They're generous with tiny samples (jello shot containers.) As usual, the first beer I asked for was out, read more

Absolutely fantastic stop on our beverage journey!!! TONS of options and cozy atmosphere. Taste testing allowed (and encouraged). This place has something for everyone's palate. Would go back & do recommend! read more

Man. I am SO grateful this place exists! This is probably THE BEST taproom and beer selection in a very large area. They have packaged you can buy, draft beer and an arcade! What's not to love!? Man oh man. I'm going to be as much of a regular as I can here. read more

When it comes to craft breweries, this is not your ordinary place of fermenters, car boys, thermometers etc... this place is where you go to enjoy craft beers made from the state of Alabama, and surrounding southern states like Georgia, Mississippi and Florida. In my opinion, this venue is set for all ages, especially a first date. Why? Well, when you first walk in there is a casual lounge area, where you can sit back, relax and have a conversation without any interruptions. As you find your way thru the venue, you will find a grab and go beer selection to choose from. After that, you will find the bar... which is about 7 bar stools but don't worry, there's more to see and sit... once you have arrived at the bar, you will notice the hallway has old beer signs posted on the wall, and the color of the walls change... why? Because in the back section there is a game room! Everything from ping-ping to racing bikes! Oh, and just around the bend there is a backyard sitting area that is very nice too watch the sun set. Over all, great place!!! Even if they don't brew there own beer! read more

Loosa Brews - Beer Bar Near Me - Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Awesome atmosphere. And even more awesome people. Super fun to bring the dog and play some arcade games. 10/10 recommend for anyone in Tuscaloosa read more

This place is a fun vibe but they need to change their hours. If your hours say you close at 12am then you shouldn't turn ALL the lights on and yell "last call" at 11pm. We basically got "shoo'd" out at 11. They turned all the lights on and yelled last call at 11. They also played the song "closing time" at 11:10 on the dot. They then played "get out of here" at 11:30 (as I'm typing this). The bar staff is so unpleasant and not nice. The guy with the brown long hair is MEAN and not customer friendly. The girl with the curly brown hair is better. It's now 11:34 and the music has completely stopped. Rude and ridiculous. read more

Love this place. Where the big kids play on football Friday. Pinball machines. Beer from all over the us. And Pinot Grigio on tap!

This beer bar is a great atmosphere with a great section of beer and wine. They host wine tastings every Monday from 6-8 with Trivia and Bingo throughout the week. 10/10 read more

Such a cool place. Great atmosphere. Lots of variety voted #1 craft beer bar in Tuscaloosa and I approve

Very cool place. There are lots of in state and out of state beers to choose from and the staff gives good recommendations. I usually go on Wednesday nights for bingo which is really enjoyable. I also sometimes go the five dollar wine tastings on Monday. There is a pin ball machine room and outdoor seating when the weather is good. It is pet friendly. They also host live music. read more

Best hang out spot in Tuscaloosa. Plenty of indoor seats and couches, guitars to play, wide variety of beer, fresh root-beer on tap, amazing retro arcade, great back porch seating area. read more

We were trying to find a location off the strip. Loosa was a great choice. It had a great selection of micro brews not only local but also across the country. The staff is also very friendly and ready to give a recommendation and a sample. In the back is a blast from the past arcade. In the front is a great selection of beers for take out. Definitely recommended! read more

Easily my favorite bar in Tuscaloosa! As an introvert, I've always struggled finding a bar that I can truly enjoy in town, but Loosa Brews has the perfect combination of opportunities to interact with other bar-goers and cozy areas to chat with close friends. I particularly enjoyed the comfy couches and spacious arm chairs, but I also noticed tables for larger parties. Another aspect that makes this place particularly appealing is the great choice in music; while I was here they played a variety of indie to alternative bands such as The XX, the Killers, Weezer, and many others. If you're not feeling the inside scene, this bar also provides some awesome outside seating areas including a spacious, newly constructed back deck. I can definitely see myself coming here when the weather starts to warm up for a relaxing evening on the deck with brews and buddies. It's located in an area downtown that would have a great view of the sunset. Super exited to visit this bar again sometime soon! read more

Loosa Brews - Snakehandler - Beer Bar Near Me - Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Very impressed. Great tap Selection including several hard to find brews. Chilled out vibe (at least when I was there). Nice reprieve from typical college town dive bar. Highly recommend. read more

Loosa Brews is the best beer joint for twelve thousand miles around. Go measure it. You'll see I'm right.

Always a favorite place in Tuscaloosa. I'll come here occasionally to work on some of my homework during the week, or I'll come on the weekends to enjoy a pint. Always bring my parents here when they're in town. Great craft selection from both in state and out of state. read more

Quality rotating selection of beers, great atmosphere, and pinball machines that can not be passed up.

What's not to love about this place? It's got a cool vibe, an awesome outdoor area, video game arcade, it's pet friendly, and it's got a beer you'll like. That last one is a guarantee. Lots to chose from and they are way cool with the samples until you find one you like. And...you can get some to go! Great selection of beers from all over so you'll find one or two...or more...to take home. read more

Coming from San Diego, this is by far the best tap room and bottled/canned craft beer selection in town.

I was there for 3 hours with 6 people in the bar I opened a tab and beer tenders couldn't remember if I had a tab. She said "do you want to start a tab or pay with cash" every time I ordered a beer. 6 paying Customer and 3 hours later!?!?!? Don't understand. Not that hard! read more

This place has it all. If you want to grab some brews and drink at home, this is your place. If you want to hang out on the patio or lounge around on some couches, this is your place. If you like to drink and play video games, this is your place. All around tons of fun and awesome beer selection. Would recommend to anyone! read more

I must admit this place is a breath of fresh air in T-Town. I recently got an opportunity to visit Loosa Brews a few times with a couple of my friends. It has plenty of local/regional brews (Trim Tab, Avondale, Good People, Black Warrior, Red Brick, etc.) on tap, a great selection of domestic and imported beer and wine, and a bar. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. In addition to lots of brews, there are many fun arcade games (Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Pac Man, etc) that line the middle corridor near the restrooms and they're also free to play! On top of all of the awesome things mentioned, this spot has a back room with old school video consoles set up (Mario Kart anyone?), brewing supplies for a budding brew master, and a front lounge area with sofas and two guitars for whoever dares to play in a crowded room full of strangers. Overall, Loosa Brews is a welcomed addition to the Tuscaloosa area and has a lot to offer to wine and beer lovers in the mood for an entertaining time. Do yourself a favor and check it out! read more

This bar is really a hidden gem! They have a great selection of local and typical beers. The setup reminds me of Hop City in Birmingham but much more cozy and warm. You can bring your own food to eat too if you'd like. The wooden furniture and walls add charm to this bar. The shelves in the middle that hold beer and wine make you give the illusion that you're in an intimate, old-school library. The bar area has some snacks and desserts in case if you get the early munchies. The backroom has some old arcade games that you can play for free such as pinball, Mr. Pac Man, and Mortal Kombat. There was a N64 game that was unplugged but we didn't feel like playing it. There also seems to be a storage room you can explore that has ingredients to the beers. Somewhere in-between all of this is a balcony area. read more

We love coming here! They have a lot of pin ball machines as well as many beers to drink. They have a lot of beers from Alabama as well as other places in the south. We love it here! read more

For a beer lounge, this is as good as you'll find in Tuscaloosa. The staff is friendly and the bartenders know everything you would want to know about the brew they are pouring. I went on a Tuesday, when you get $2 off beer flights. They let me try a few before making my final selections (three 6 oz flights for $6), which left me feeling like a got a lot out of the special. My one critique is they feature a lot of beers you can find at the local Tuscaloosa breweries. I expect this from a normal bar, but I would personally prefer a beer lounge to focus more on what I can't visit locally. All that said, I would definitely recommend a visit. read more

This place has been in Ttown a little while now, but I made my first visit with a couple friends this past Saturday on A-Day weekend. Like the back deck sitting area...seems to be a haven for many to collect and socialize. LB seems to carry as many taps inside as Hop City in Bham, but not near the inventory in the packaged section (still good selections there though). I saw many taps with brews I haven't heard of! I tried three new ones and def plan to return to try more read more

I am so happy that Loosa Brews opened. It's a little hard to find, but is right across the street from Inisfree. Their beer selections is fantastic....certainly the best in the area with no competition. Approximately half of the beers are local-ish, and the other half are from all over the world. The bartenders are very knowledgable and can provide you with a sample before you decide which beer to order. You can also order a flight. The selections rotate periodically, and there is often one of the staff's homebrews on tap as well. Once you've got your beer, you'll enjoy the cozy atmosphere. Loosa Brews is decorated with old rugs, antique furniture, and vintage beer signs. There's a neat table made of an antique chalkboard. There's low lighting and plenty to look at. First, you might browse through the selections of unique craft beer from around the world, which are available to purchase and bring home with you. There are also wines and ciders. Next, you might walk to the back room and learn a little bit about home brewing from their selection of home brew supplies. The managers at Loosa Brews have told me that they are able to order just about any beer or home brew ingredient that I might request, even if it is not currently shelved in the store. I think it's a great place to shop local, yet still have the variety of a larger city. read more

Another one of my favorite places in Tuscaloosa. 'Loosa Brews has the best craft beer selection on tap in T-Town. This is a very laid back feel. I like that you can buy anything from beer on tap and also bottled/canned craft beers. If you haven't been to this taproom, I would move to the top of my list especially if you would like to try beers from Tuscaloosa Brewers without traveling to their fine establishments. read more
