[[HIGHLIGHT]]Very nice restaurant had a great atmosphere[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and the waitress was really good, she answered all my questions. The food was great, I had a build your own Smash Burger and it was delicious. They also have Tater Tots, can't go wrong with them read more

My friend told me they have great burgers, but he got the special "Bennett" listed on the "Burger Special" board which came with corned beef, so he was surprised that there was no burger, and told me that the corned beef was "cheap lunch meat quality". I was looking forward to trying a couple beers listed on the website, but they were not there. My BLT was delicious, but the "avocado" upcharge was really just an avocado sauce, not real avocado. Most irritating though, the waitress brought us our check while I was only halfway done with my meal - I didn't ask for it and was clearly not ready. My friend commented to her that I still was thinking of getting a boozy milkshake. She didn't get the hint that maybe we weren't ready for the check, and just asks me which one I want. I was planning that as a dessert, so I stared at my half-eaten meal and told her that I'd like to finish my meal first before thinking about that. I haven't felt so rushed in a restaurant a long time. My friend told me that he goes often and had never had that experience before, so we'll try it again - and get a real burger. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Shipp Brothers was a fun joint with a beer wall that seemed overwhelming![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Happy hour every day until 5p had me feeling pretty good! Service was quick. We had a group of 6 and they had no problem sitting us with no reservation on a Saturday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]One of the employees was able to get the Georgia game on and I was happy as a clam watching football and drinking beer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They even had a THC friendly lemonade that was delicious! If I'm ever in this area, I'll be stopping by just to have another pour of that! The food was excellent. I would compare it to an upscale bar food. My wife and I got the pretzel which was very good paired with one of the lagers. They even brought out extra cheese which was very kind. The wings were excellent too. I would absolutely recommend them if you're a wing connoisseur. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a fun little casual spot in Newark.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I came here with my family and it happened to be happy hour which was a fun surprise.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got wine and my husband took advantage of the beers on tap that are self serve. He liked being able to try lots of things. We started with a pretzel which was on the happy hour menu and it was delicious. I got the nachos which came on a cute little can and were good but a little cold which was disappointing. My husband got the wings which he said were great. Our waitress was very attentive and sweet. This is a good spot for your more traditional bar food read more

Shipp Brothers Brewing Restaurant & Taproom - Trashcan Nachos - Brewpubs Near Me - Newark, Ohio

Service: staff are super nice and talkative. They're all very pleasant to talk with and make you feel uncomfortable especially as first time visitors. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance/Atmosphere: inside is spacious and well decorated. It's very clean inside and the numerous house brewed beers are very well displayed on the wall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food: Taproom burger was amazing. Highlight of the night. The burger patty was juicy and well seasoned. The onion rings were flavored well, but could be crunchier. The bacon was perfect, tasted great and perfect amount of crisp. Topped with beer cheese which was possible the best beer cheese I've ever had. The highlight of the sandwich was the pretzel bun, usually pretzel buns don't taste like pretzel but this one was not the case. It was absolutely fantastic and I can't recommend enough. Bavarian pretzel was delicious. Crispy exterior with a pillowy soft interior and to dip was that amazing beer cheese and the pretzel was absolutely huge. This is a definite recommend for an appetizer. Philly cheesesteak was amazing. Thinly sliced tender and juicy ribeye. The key here is their beer cheese is used over your generic cheese Wizz and it is an astounding idea. The roll is crispy on the inside and pillowy soft on the outside. Definite recommend. Big hoppy was great. Think classic cheeseburger and toppings on a roll instead of bun. Fresh ingredients and juicy flavorful Pattie's come together for a nice traditional-non traditional burger. If you're looking for a classic, I'd recommend over a regular bun. Hangover burger was ok. Juicy burger on a Texas toast. The Texas toast wasn't anything special, tasted more like regular toasted white bread. The egg was well cooked and I enjoyed that addition. The bacon wasn't the same style as the taproom burger and match that quality. The hash brown Pattie was a good idea, but wasn't crispy and crunchy. It was more like a mushy hash brown, I truly think if this was more crispy it would elevate this burger. I'd say you could skip this one. Chop cheese was good. It's no New York chop cheese, but it was well flavored and plenty cheesy. The sauce added a pleasant sweetness and it was a nice switch from your usually beef patty. I'd recommend if you're looking for ground beef, but not feeling a patty. Fries was good. Crispy outside with a fluffy inside. Thick cut fries which I enjoyed from your usually thinner style. My only complaint is there could have been a little more seasoning. I feel they lacked something special to really bring things together. Mac n cheese was ok. The cheesy texture was amazing. At a glance, seems perfect and the texture matched. Unfortunately it was bland, the flavor just wasn't there. This Mac n cheese definitely has a lot of potential and if they added some more flavor would be a definite recommend, but until then I'd pass. read more

This is a fun place. Especially during happy hour! Happy hour is every day and appetizers and beer are half price. It's a little confusing at first, but ask your server to explain. I loved that the owner of the place came by and made sure I was happy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also had a patio![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]A fun place for sure![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Was the food amazing? Not necessarily, but I enjoyed the tater kegs a lot. read more

Okay. Name changed and we were in the area during homecoming, and the wait at Elliot's was too long as we had tickets to DankHouse. We were sat quickly. Our order taken, quickly. But that was about it. Pour your own is nice, it's easy to use, easy to keep track of your tab. Still nice. No funkiness on the beers - so it tastes like the lines are clean! Their beer - a bit barely heavy on the pale ale, but they have a wide range of options (from light ales and lagers to cream ales to imperial stouts) to cover your tastes. I liked they didn't focus exclusively on local and had a nice range. I'll be back to try their other beers, for sure. This time, we opted for apps and split a sandwich. We skipped the Brussels sprouts this time (I liked the aioli). The Buffalo chicken wasn't shredded - it was *creamed* - not a retraction, just an unexpected texture. Not much heat to it, either (to the delight of my date). Not bad. The trash can nachos lived up to their name. They were trash. Overcooked chicken (the sear had blackened them), the mix was not good, and they use pickled jalapeños. It's a pass. The meatball sub we went for because we were going to do the appetizer but wanted a little more. Plus side - those meatballs are not GFS. imperfect. Flavorful. Liked the sauce and the roll. Tots are basic, as expected. Minus side - they were salty as FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. Too damn salty. Excessively salty. And the service. Our server was incredibly friendly, but after ordering we didn't really see her again. We saw a lot of kids walking through (not ordering), nor did they seem very busy. I can chalk up a "bad night because of homecoming" - it's not a knock, but I hope it's not a sign of a downturn in their quality. Until next time! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great food and family friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Personally would've liked more of a cocktail menu, but they're known for their beer on tap. read more

Very neat concept, self pour beer taps with a card. The beer choices were not as diverse as I was expecting (the Root Beer was good). A flight of beers, 2 tall glasses of IPA's and 2 Root Beer's were about $25. The food was not as impressive. I got 4 Whole wings Sweet Chili Garlic and tots, my girl got the The Bennett and tots, her daughter just a salad. The wings were whole and looked incredible until trying to eat them. I literally could not break them apart (drum from the flat from the tip). Instant FOBG (Fear of Bubble Guts). I finished the tots and had another beer and called it a day. Ok place with great vibe, but I don't think we'll be back. read more

Happy hour ends at 5 but it is legit great. Pour you own beer is not dangerous, I don't care what the surgeon general says. Call 1-800-general now??? Nah bro, don't call him. They only have like 30 beers on tap so you can try them all in one trip like me if you want. read more

Shipp bros is a very good place to eat the beer selection is amazing best beer I've ever tasted and I dnt ever really drink beer but tried it cause the waitress convinced me!! But all jokes aside over all the food is great but their pretzel is absolutely the best appetizer I've ever had it should be on that tv food show im not really big on pretzels either but I have to have it every time I go there!!!! read more

Upon friends recommendation, we decided to try this place out on a Sunday afternoon. It wasn't crowded at all, we were sat immediately. They give a preloaded card to go to the beer wall. Insert the card, pour/pay by the ounce. We had a couple of apps since it was happy hour 1/2 off deals. Trash can nachos were big, but disappointing. They lacked flavor, not enough cheese and no salsa. The fried Brussels sprouts were great, especially the lemon aioli. The burger was large and served on a delightful pretzel bun. The fries seemed to be beer battered and were wonderfully crisp. Overall a solid place, especially for happy hours! read more

I really wanted to give this place more stars. I do plan on giving it another try. This place has an awesome vibe and is super cute. The self pour bar I LOVE. So first the good- the Mexican corn dip was pretty good. I liked their fries. The server was good and on top of it- always making sure we had refills (which I love). The bad- I ordered the Nashville Chicken Hot Sandwich- this was SOOOO overcooked. A few times I thought maybe some bone was in the chicken because that's how overcooked it was. It was so hard to chew. I will say the sauce was very good on the sandwich so if it was cooked right I would think it would be very good. My fiancé got the all you can eat wings- his boneless wings were SO overcooked as well (I tried them). He tried the Carolina gold, barbecue, & Buffalo and liked none of the sauces. He is a big wing guy but felt like they were just trying to make their sauces different and it just wasn't good. My mother got a burger and liked it okay but didn't really care for the sauce. read more

Very friendly and food was great. We stopped on way to Bremen Ohio and it was breakfast time. The avocado toast amazing . We had two kids with us and kids portions were extremely generous, hard to believe they were kids portions. The homemade hot sauce was some of the best I have had. We are so glad we stopped here. read more

This was a great local brewery and restaurant that has great food and a fun beer wall. What is a beer wall you ask? Well it is a self serve wall of beer taps that offer a variety of different beers for you to sample and enjoy. The wall is charged per the ounce poured and you need to get a preloaded card to use in the machine. Any money on the card that you don't use/drink gets credited back to your bill. I liked it since I was interested in a couple different types. My favorite was the cider. The food was also great. I ordered the BBQ Burger and substituted tater tots for the chips. The burger was so good I ate the whole thing. I would definitely come back if I lived in the area. The added bonus is it is a local own place and they have a big room you can reserve in the back if you have a large party of people. If you have a chance to go - do it. You won't regret it. read more

Staff friendly and attentive. The food was good. Several of the sandwiches were dry. I had chicken and my son had a burger.

We reserved the back room for a post concert choir gathering. The food service was FAST and the meal very tasty. I highly recommend the chip burger! Sweet potato fries with the marshmallow dipping sauce were so tasty. But my favorite are the keg tots. Thank you for the pleasant experience. We will definitely be back! read more

If you are a beer snob this is the place. It's like one of those buffet places but a buffet of beer! No place like this around here. The happy hour in the afternoon is awesome - half off beer. The whole concept is nice. You just get your beer card, grab a glass, and go try a little of this, a little of that. No need to ask bartender or server for another beer. Just go up and fill your glass. As far as food goes, it's pretty good. I like the special and usually get that. A server there, Brittany, is top notch and can't ask for better service. Love this place! read more

1st time there, thought we would try something new! No one in there & we were told it was a 20 min wait that's just bad business. We won't be back read more

I have celiac disease, allergic to wheat, and this restaurant bends over backwards to accommodate me. Gluten free food , gluten free drinks, and willing to arrange meals to meet my allergy. The food is great, the management is superior, and I loved the beer wall, until I couldn't. One of my favorite restaurants in town. Happy hour is one to five. Half priced beer and appetizers. Friendly wait staff. So, so happy to find this restaurant. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Good food and fun atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Waitress was great at explaining how the beer system works.

Nice spot for apps, a burger or pub food. The beer wall is definitely the draw, fun concept to pull your own and pay by the ounce. Great variety! First time I have ever seen Einstok on tap anywhere in the US. Trash can nachos were good. We were there mid afternoon so it wasn't crowded and the service was quick. read more

Good food, cold beer and great service! I enjoy the self pour beer wall. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love meeting up with friends here![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Food was honestly so/so but we had a lot of fun trying several of the draft beers, ciders and seltzers.

I've been in town for the last few weeks for work and have come to Shipp once a week and each time I'm impressed by the beer selection and the food. On my third visit I happened to meet one of the owners. In all of 5 minutes of talking it was clear how passionate they are and the food and beers show. read more

A little about us, we are married, 5 kids and a small farm where we raise our own pastured beef, eggs, chicken etc. we rarely get to go out. We were in Newark for a date night but we don't live there so we really know nothing about the restaurant offerings there. I picked Shipp Brother's to try for dinner. We don't usually have success at finding great restaurants with quality food. We are picky because our meat is so great at home and I can cook! so I guess we have higher expectations. But I like having a break from always cooking!! Plus we are keto so we don't eat any fried and breaded foods which most menus offer limited selections so there's usually not much for us to get. But Shipp Brothers had great options. We were well satiated. The Hangover (a bacon cheeseburger with a fried egg and aioli) was so good, minus the bread and hash browns and we had the side salads and they were really good as well. I had low carb Michelob Ultra from tap which I don't typically drink but really enjoyed getting it myself from the tap. I thought serving ourselves from the tap was one of the neat experiences about Shipp Brothers. We also met one of the owners and expressed our excitement about our food and experience. So we recommend and plan to go back again. read more

We went here after a swim meet. Newark must be a geological oddity, as i couldn't get a signal to check in. I was really impressed with the "you serve yourself." Instead of waiting on the waiter, get it when you are ready. This is also a great idea to monitor your intake, if you are wanting to watch spending. Food was delicious...that beef bacon pairs well with weissbier. would definitely recommend this place for dinner read more

Awesome place with amazing food!!! I love eating here whenever we get a chance to. Can't wait to go back there again. read more

Shipp Brothers Brewing Restaurant & Taproom - Brewpubs Near Me - Newark, Ohio

Drove in from out of town to meet family for an after Thanksgiving get together on aSaturday afternoon,which was fun. The Good: Ordered Spicy Bloody Mary's, which were very good. I should say we ordered these because to get a beer, took a several minute explanation, and self-serve from what sounded to be a clunky process. When asked "Can't we just order one from you" we basically got "Sure, but...". Besides, I came to meet and talk with family, not be my own Bartender. I saw one person use the self-serve bar while there, so not a big Wow factor for client drawl. Sorry, my "The Good" took a left-turn there. The Bad: Pretty sure the burger and sides were all heat-and-eat items from someplace like GFS, or at least it tasted that way. Every side was an up-charge, and a significant one at that (plus skimpy). The Ugly: The Price ($$$ not $$) and Service time. While our Server was friendly, the staffing was way out of balance, as there were non-server folks (hostesse, etc) just standing around while only 1 server was on duty, When attempting to "catch" our server to order appetizers, we were told "too busy right now, I'll have to get back to you" (BTW - we didn't order appetizers). OK, but there were only like 5 tables even occupied in the place. So, where the hell was the Manager to kick in some help - think I may have seen her once, and she looked mad (or maybe it was a Customer). The icing-on-the-cake (or bread pudding bites which they advertise online but don't have) was the public access restroom where street folks ask you for spare change - come on! PS: I did give a few bucks and recommended Moe's BBQ next door. Summary: First and Last time I'll go here no matter where it's located. HINT: Find a Red Robin or something similar for a much better food, service experience at probably half the price, and more food. read more
