    Pimento grilled cheese and cucumber salad
    Meghan M.

    I came to sideward brewing a while ago to try their ceasar salad wrap. While I wasn't a huge fan of it i loved the vibe of the restaurant so i decided to come back and try some other things and I am so glad I did! I split the pimento grilled cheese, cucumber salad, and French onion dip with my friend! the French onion dip was good and I loved the side of cucumbers and peppers that came with it. The pimento grilled cheese was unreal! Cucumber salad was good but I would definitely try another side. Service was great and they were very helpful in picking out what beer to get. Parking was super easy but can get packed as they share a lot with a few other restaurants. The outdoor seating is super cool. They also host run clubs and have other specials during the week. Can't wait to come back!

    Amazing place for a good bite and good vibes. You go inside to order and they have a bunch of beer on tap! After ordering you can pick a place inside or outside to sit. Our food came out pretty quickly after we sat down. Pints for $7!!! I loved the beers they had and I believe they rotate them so there's always something different to try. It's a great place to go to get some brews and hang out. We saw some people playing cards and others catching up with friends. One of my fave spots!

    Was craving chicken caesar wrap. Internet tells me this brewery is the place to be. Haven't explored this area of town yet. Great vibe, great beer, pretty mid wrap. I'll be back for more beers tho

    So over 5 years coming here and they still deliver. (note they have been open for almost 7) You always get friendly service and the beers are great. I have been sampling more and more of their food over the years and find it really tasty and importantly priced very well. The pretzel is always a great snack and the mac/cheese is super. They have a great vibe here too.

    Sideward was super chill vibes. They have both inside and outside seating. Seasonal beer and the food was great. Everything was reasonably priced my sandwich with chips was $14. The beer is seasonal so if you love one make sure they have it before you go back or great opportunity to try something new! They also had some beer canned in a fridge so you can buy and take home. We went on a Thursday and they have their own run club where you get 15% off a beer after. Lots of dogs and they have a shared parking lot. It's also walking distance to a few other cool places. I would definitely go back

    I've had the pleasure of visiting Sideward Brewing Co twice. Both times were positive experiences and honestly I think I will be back just based on the homemade root beer alone. I also heavily enjoy their mead, which is extremely smooth and sweet. Perfect to sip on while lounging on their patio. They have a robust food menu, although I have unfortunately not tried any food yet. Main issue to be aware of is that just like all of the businesses in the milk district, parking is tight. So, I would plan ahead or arrive early to address that.

    I ordered delivery for lunch and the food was disappointing. I ordered a chicken Caesar wrap, which looking at pictures, looked delicious. It was very basic and something I could've easily thrown together, and for $18, I thought it was overpriced. I can't speak to the experience when dining in. I'd try Sideward again, but only in person.

    I absolutely love Sideward!!! I love the laid back environment and that it's dog friendly!! They also have an amazing variety of food options so there is something for everyone. I also have loved every beer I have had from here!! The staff is also always so friendly, and the food comes out quickly! Can't wait for my next visit back to sideward!

    Sideward Brewing was our last stop on a brewery tour around the Orlando area, and it was such a great way to wrap up the day. It's a cute little spot just off the main drag. Parking is a bit tight, but absolutely worth the stop. We grabbed a couple of beers and headed out to their spacious outdoor seating area, which was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the weather. We also ordered the Hummus as a snack, and it was fantastic. You could tell it was freshly made--creamy, flavorful, and served with a generous drizzle of olive oil. The warm pita bread and fresh crudités were the perfect accompaniments. A great atmosphere, tasty beer, and delicious snacks--highly recommend stopping by Sideward Brewing!

    I have been to Sideward more than a few times. Every time though, the beer and service have been on point. This time was no exception. This time I had the charcuterie which was decent. Could have used some more meat, but the cheese game was on point. We also had hummus with veggies and boiled peanuts. The potato salad was also good. The beer here is amazing and if you love craft beer, you will find your sweet spot at Sideward. Or should I say sweet side. smile Can't wait to visit again. One day I will get around to reviewing the beers which are all great in my experience.

    Chicken Caesar wrap
    Nancy P.

    Food: I heard about the wrap on TikTok and had to try it. It did not disappoint. It didn't have too much dressing and a good amount of chicken. Maybe it needed more chicken and less romaine lettuce but it was full overall good. I would get it again. It cost $14 and it includes chips. Service: you order at the counter and the give it to you. I didn't ask for much service but they seem nice. Ambiance: they are a brewery with indoor and outdoor seating.

    Chicken Cesar wrap
    Christina H.

    Not to be dramatic... but this is the absolute best chicken cesar wrap I've ever had and I am a bit of a wrap addict. We didn't try any of their beers this time but will definitely be back for another wrap and a brew or two! The service was quick and friendly. You walk up to the counter to order then they bring the food out to you. Indoor seating is limited but they do also offer outdoor seating.

    Moon Boots IPA. Good one. The sandwiches & salads are not of the norm. Maybe they went too far on being "something different". Recent stop for lunch they were out of the Chicken Caesar and Caprese. Anything else on the menu does not appeal to me. So I ended up just having a beer & eating elsewhere. The staff were non-attentive during my most recent visit. No one said boo to me as I wandered looking for a menu. Barely said two words when I ordered ‍. Parking isn't the easiest thing to find in that area if their lot is full. There are more interesting people who work here tho. Still worth a pint stop

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. But every now and then, I'll travel a daring five miles for a place that feels like it was plucked straight out of the Pacific Northwest and this is that place. The beer? Amazing. The staff? 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.

Parking was…read morea bit difficult to find, but then became easier when I was told I could park at the bbq restaurant next door. We ordered directly at the bar, and tried their moonshine iced lemonade tea. For 8 bucks, it was a refreshing drink, and the alcohol lingered lightly. I was surprised they allowed outside food, but they have a partnership with the bbq restaurant next door. So I got a pulled pork sandwich with bbq beans as side, and banana pudding (about 18 dollars total for all). The sandwich was fair with ample amount of pork, but could have been a bit more flavorful. Thankfully the bbq sauce on the side helped. The pork was tender enough. The bbq definitely helped the beans to be more enjoyable. It only it had a bit more kick. The banana pudding tasted like Publix pudding, and looked to be missing actual bananas. It has wafers instead. Though, I still enjoyed it and can't complain when it was under 4 bucks. The tables were sit yourself, and outdoor seating was available as well. After you order your food the drinks, and pay at the bar, they will deliver it directly to you. It was quiet when I went on a Friday, but there was a live band playing Caribbean music. Dogs are allowed here, and the dogs people bring can be pretty big. While the food was just above average, the drinks are still very good. Since the food is from their partner restaurant, I am still giving them 5 stars because of their great and reasonably priced drinks in a social and fun atmosphere. The service was very friendly and helpful too. Last time I visited, they had the mechanical bull riding contest, and I will definitely do that if they ever have that again. It is still a great place to have drinks with your friends and family. Overall: A-

This go around it was the exact opposite experience. We had several beers and we enjoyed all of them. This location is fairly large so if you have a larger group, it's great for groups to come to. They do not have food service but they do typically have a food truck there for a short period of time, but there are eateries in the area so I'm sure having food delivered or going across the street or down the street to get food would not be an issue either. My husband really enjoyed their brown ale. We also tried the bourbon barrel aged one as well and found it to be very sweet. We also tried the drunken Irish, which was great, but our favorite was by far the wee Peaty.

The trinket trade box at the back was fun, and the safety messages as well as personal hygiene items in the restroom were an incredible touch that shows this is a place that really cares about their community. I need to return and try more of their brews, because just two rounds was not enough to see everything they had to offer. I switched to some soda options they had after my 2 beers, and that selection was pretty nice too

These fries are cooked perfectly and so delicious.
