    Scottish Ale is fantastic!
    Scott W.

    I stopped into Motorworks Brewing while I was waiting for the doors to open for a concert I was attending at the Beacham. It's like a three minute walk from the venue. It's a bit tucked away on the corner so you could easily miss it if you're driving by. Kristy, the bartender was super friendly and let me sample a few beers before settling on the Scotch Ale. The bad thing is I didn't find out about the happy hour special until after I purchased my beer (M-F open to 7pm). I would have gone with $5 beer on the special menu versus the $6.75 I paid for mine. I guess that's partly my fault for not asking but Kristy could have let me know before I placed my order, oh well. Regardless, I was very happy with my beer I had a lot of flavor and was nice and cold. If you're not into beer they do have a variety of liquor available for mixed drinks. This location is not an actual brewery, but they serve beer from their main brewery out of Tampa, FL. Hence why they are able to maintain such a modest footprint in the downtown area. They had a few screens for watching sports and a small kitchen if you're looking for a quick snack. The main store was very clean; however, the men's restroom was a bit of a mess. Plus there is only one stall and one urinal, and the urinal was out of order. While I was here tonight, they were hosting some type of singles meetup event. There was a mediator (match maker) running the event and they were stationed at tables near the main entrance. I guess that's cool to know if you're trying to find that someone special. All-n-all, Motorworks Brewing is a great option when meeting up with friends before going to a show downtown or to watch the big game with some delicious beers.

    We arrived on Saturday afternoon around three in the afternoon. There were three other couples sitting at the bar and outside of that the place was completely empty. you have plenty of TVs in the area, which is good for watching college football or any sports really. They have a large selection of beer and overall we do really enjoy their beer selections. My husband often for the Scottish ale which he really enjoyed. I opted for a flight because I always like trying some of the new things though my favorite is the Datil, it's a spicy Porter and has the perfect balance of heat for my liking . Parking can be a challenge in the area because you aren't downtown Orlando there is metered parking around or there is a lot directly behind them. That's $10 a day. The part that was on duty at the time was polite enough, but spend a large majority of the hour so we were there talking to one couple only.

    ORLANDO, FL: leashed and friendly dogs are allowed at Motorworks Brewing and also at their location in Bradenton! There is an outdoor beer garden, indoor tasting room, and they have a special monthly Yappy Hour Pet Extravaganza to adopt a pet from an animal rescue. The Orlando location is spacious and not only can you get their craft beer, with 17 options to choose from, they also have a full bar! You can get food from a food truck or you can bring your own. Plenty of TVs to watch the game and there are events like trivia night, wings and pints specials, happy hour, and more!

    Light lager: deliciousness.

    Great suds, fun atmosphere, nice bartenders a very good selection of IPAs and other beers. Cider, too! Small kitchen puts out some very tasty barfare

    Came here as part of the Pub Pass and it was a great experience! Very chill atmosphere (we did go on a weekday so that could be why) and very helpful staff who provided samples and suggestions. We did not get any food from here this visit but they had a good looking menu and from what we saw that others had it looked great. Also if you are not into beer they do have a cider and a bar for mixed drinks like a margarita or old fashioned. The only complaint is that it is located downtown so parking could be hard to find unless you pay for parking or get lucky with Street parking like we did.

    While the menu is mainly bar food, none of it is fried, only baked, so it's a bit healthier. There is a decent variety of beers, so my husband was able to enjoy the Yuzu Sunrise lager and I liked the Bizarre Gardening Accident sour, so IPAs were not the only option. It's a smaller place in downtown Orlando; street parking is free on Sunday; and the server was friendly and kind, agreeing to turn down the volume of the TV that was over our heads. They also accept the PubPass for a BOGO beer.

    Nachos!
    Jason B.

    3.5 stars... Discovered this joint by pub pass and was not disappointed! Opted for a flight and then followed it up with a few pints...sprinkled in the nachos and very tasty wings...all while playing bingo! Ambiance is urban industrial, service was quirky friendly, and prices are in line with area.

    Pulp Fiction
    Nisheet G.

    I read about Motorworks Brewery winning awards for their beers so I was pleasantly surprised to see that one of their locations was in Orlando. Since we had ample time before the Orlando City game, we decided to check out Motorworks. Quality of drinks and food: for beers, we tried their flagship beer called Pulp Fiction and also their seasonal beer Oktoberfest. Both beers were full of flavor and matched the style of beer. For food we ordered their pretzels appetizer and they came out nice and hot. Décor: okay. There isn't much to look at inside but the place still feels chill and laid back. Cleanliness: good. The bar was being kept clean. Service: good. The bartender let us sample different beers before we settled on one and stayed attentive throughout our time there. Price: typical. Expect to pay around $7 for beers and $10 for appetizers. If you're in the mood for some good beers in downtown Orlando then this is a solid place to go.

    Never been here before- definitely coming back. They've got beer and shots and drinks. My fiancé had the butter beer shots and we got blueberry cider. The service from the bartenders is phenomenal- very nice for recommendations and what not. Tonight is part of the Halloween bar crawl and it's very fun! Our bartender is dressed like Rick from Rick and morty! His name was joe there was Marco. Phenomenal bar staff!!! The blueberry cider is crisp and not that sweet but very flavorful! I definitely recommend coming here 10/10!!!

    Buffalo Chicken Wrap
    Angela T.

    This place had several TVs and a variety of beer selection. Wrap was good. Tator tots were an additional charge of $1.99. Pizza came out cold. I'm not sure if they have a food heat lamp. Restrooms are nice. Service was okay, had to request the tab a couple of times.

    Chicken Caesar wrap
    Justin L.

    Pretty good food. I had a chicken wrap with a side of tater tot's. Both the tater tots in the wrap was pretty fresh. This is a new restaurant that I have tried out recently and everything seems clean. I also have the buffalo chicken dip as an appetizer which was awesome! The service was quick and attentive! I will check in the next time I come to visit to see what else taste well.

    Jordan C.

    The service and beer here is stellar and I recommend as a spot to hangout for drinks. For a brewery the amount of food choices they have is impressive. I would prefer a paired down menu and they focus on a few options they do well. I was able to try a lot of the menu items and the wings, Cuban Sandwich and hummus were my favorites. Some of the other choices while good, lacked in flavor in my opinion. I look forward to going back soon!

    Cheese flatbread !
    Julia H.

    Love this brewery downtown . Has so many beers on tap and the flatbreads are amazing ! I loved the caprese . Bartenders are very friendly, Sam is always so friendly and brings good conversation and service. I love going here for happy hour before hitting the downtown bars !

I was the only person sitting at the bar, even though a DJ was playing (maybe just for me?). For a place that calls itself a Biergarten, the beer selection was very underwhelming. There were only about five beers on tap, and the fridge looked half empty. I had just hopped over from Sideward, was working on something on my phone, and thought I'd give this spot another shot. The place was empty except for what looked like two bartenders and the DJ. I ordered a beer on tap, but it was warm -- and at $8, definitely overpriced. At that point, I just drank it, listened to the music, and didn't bother complaining. I'll always support local businesses, but if you're going to call yourself a Biergarten, then live up to the name. Otherwise, call yourself something else. Honestly, I should've stayed at Sideward.

Decided to try lunch specials and got the lunch portion Pork Schnitzel with Potato Pancakes and Gurkensalat (fresh cucumber salad with yogurt/sour cream dressing) My companion ordered the Buffalo Sandwich but opted for pork rather than chicken. A surprising choice that turned out to be a very good one! Came with 2 sides, chose fries and red cabbage. We also ordered the cheese spatzle with butter cheese and gruyere. Nice day so we dined outside on the patio. Our server (didn't get his name) was helpful and quick with our beverages and order. Everything came out quickly, hot and fresh. The schnitzel was perfectly fried and tender. The potato pancakes crisp and delicious with applesauce and sour cream toppings! Gurkensalat, fresh slightly crunchy cucumbers in a light creamy dressing. Perfect summer salad! The Buffalo sandwich with pork instead of chicken was amazing! Cooked to tender perfection with just the right amount of buffalo sauce and heat. The grilled pretzel bun with cheese, lettuce and tomato was excellent. The fries were a great companion to the Buffalo sandwich. Red cabbage rounded out the meal adding both color and texture to the lunch. I come to this restaurant every time I visit Sanford as I love German food and the staff here is so friendly and welcoming!

As a loyal fan of Orlando's local brewery scene (shoutout to my neighborhood favorites Tactical and Ten10), I don't venture far from my comfort zone.

Incredible. The space? Open, welcoming, and plenty of seating to settle in for a while. Now let's talk about the only adventure here: parking. The immediate lot is small and can feel like you're competing in the Orlando Parking Olympics. But there's additional parking across the street to the left near some office buildings. Finding parking in Orlando sometimes feels as hard as snagging a spot in NYC, but trust me, it's worth the effort. They're constantly brewing something new okay, maybe not every single week, but it sure feels like it and somehow it's always excellent. There's always something fresh and creative on tap. So yes, I absolutely recommend this place. If you can park, come on in. You won't regret it.
