This is a great place in the Shreveport area. My Dad was in the VA and my 2 brothers and I had a great time having some drinks there. Drinks were great. Music was blasting lots of young people there all doing their own things. The ambulance outside makes kick ass" pizzas also. Great ambulance food made to order right outside their front door read more

I've been coming here for at least 10 years now. I haven't been recently. I recall the live acts from a few years box. The drink specials are amazing! Smiling service and a chill spot keep you returning. read more

my go-to bar. i love the general vibes, and the drinks are great. hope to go again soon.

Great, clean bar. Great selection of craft beer, seltzers and THC seltzers. The owner, Trace, came over and was taking time to talk to everyone to make sure they felt welcome. I wanted to watch a baseball game and he changed the channel for me. Twice actually, because I ended up moving seats. Really nice of him. I feel like if he changed the channel for me, he would change the channel for anyone. I'll definitely be back. read more

Music.... live music sucked... crowd was young yuppies... atmosphere was weird... opening ands were not well matched to headliner at all... the opening act was a horrible attempt at rockabilly but without the energy... it made no sense to pair them with local metal band "holy witch" I ended up leaving before the band I came to see even performed because the weird crowd and the bad music had the whole energy of the night messed up read more

Reasonable prices and great knowledge. The bartender was able too fill us in with random facts about the beverages he served. The jukebox was playing a mix of music that ranged from retro 80s to something I can only describe as ...... electronica. Is that a word? Anyhow we went in to kill some time and because the place is called strange brew. And I wanted to place a painted rock there. I did. With a witch and her stew pot. Witty I thought. lol. If this place was located closer to my house it would be 'my bar' . read more

Great vibes! Reasonable drink prices! Friendly staff and definitely a safe environment! Parking was a breeze and the music was on point! Check em out! read more

Good time and good tunes. Beer selection was nice. Crowd particularly friendly and food truck outside after.

I always take care of the bartenders at this place. They're always taking care of me no matter what. But tonight when I told them I was threatened by another customer nothing was done so I closed my tab and left not a single dollar for a tip for the first time ever. when being I felt. but due to the door man not doing anything about the situation Me and my friends left. I've never left a bad review for a place and I hate to do it for a place I love but I felt uncontrollable tonight. read more

Allie will make you the best grilled cheese of your LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great local spot. Just went there Friday to watch the band Basic Cable play some really good 90's cover songs. After a few drinks, a lot of people started dancing in the area in front of the band. There's also a few pool tables and a long bar to sit at. Will totally be going there again in the future! read more

Hahaha!!! I laugh as I write this because of funny memories of Strange Brew. It does not have the best scenery or mixed drinks, but there is a laid back vibe with the crowd there and plenty of space to move around in. Also, the music is usually never too loud to hear the person next to you. If you feel like going to a casual neighborhood bar with a lot of beer selections, this would be a good pick. read more

Cool little bar in Shreveport...off the beaten path...pretty roomy locale and could easily accomodate a band if they do live music....matter of fact I think every now & then they do...I recall recently they had Dash Rip Rock in for a show... Wide open space, 3-4 pool tables and elevated area where they have several dartboards....plenty of pub tables scattered about and a long bar with plenty of chairs.... Serves a good drink and the beer selection, both bottle and tap, is extensive....this place is cool to hang and enjoy some drinks and carry on some conversation with friends... If you feel like getting out of the immediate downtown area of Shreveport head a few blocks out and hit this place...I have a feeling you'll like it!! read more

Great bar with over 130 different beers. Live music shows usually on Friday and Saturday. The bar has new owners who have really amped up the liquor selection as well. read more

This bar is absolutely fantastic and only a few blocks away from my house. They have a lot of different beers on tap and they're all fantastic and very well priced. The atmosphere is casual and is a great place for a night out with your friends to have a good time. This is also fantastic if you want to meet people there. Everyone is very very nice and the music they play there is awesome. read more

Great place to try a new beer and play a few rounds of pool or darts. Generously roomy, you'll never have to fight for elbow room at the extensive bar or a seat at one of the many tables. Unless you go on Fill Your Cup For A Buck night (Thursdays), then you'd have to fight through the sea of frat boys to an excessively loud soundtrack of Top 40 rap and dubstep to get a drink...or even through the door. One of the best-sounding venues for live bands. My only complaint is that there aren't nearly enough live shows booked here! Activities and drink specials every night to fill your evening agenda all week. read more

You'll never find me here on a fill your cup for a buck night but I hit this place on Sunday nights for a kinda chill night out. Very alternative crowd but I've never seen anyone causing troubles. Only reason for no 5 star is the bathrooms are horrendous even for a divey joint like this read more

Nice, this spot is getting better...I SAW THE NAPPY ROOTS HERE!!! Taps are up, I wish it were closer to downtown. read more

Strange Brew - Beer Bar Near Me - Shreveport, Louisiana

The best craft/import/local beer spot in Shreveport-Bossier. Trey does an amazing job of having a deep catalog of beer and spirits. It may be busy and take a second to get a beer but that's just because the bartenders are answering questions about the brews while an awesome band is playing. read more

Like David M says, the place has the best collection of beer in town. It's a solid selection of domestic and international brews at awesome prices. The problem is while clearly SOMEONE appreciates and knows beer, it doesn't seem to be any of the bartenders I've ever had. One guy suggested freaking Blue Moon to a girl as a "darker" beer than Coors Lite, without a trace of humor or irony. Most of the people that come in this place, I'm sure, wouldn't know the difference between a lager or an ale or an IPA or a Belgian witt beer, but you should at least cover your bases and have knowledgeable bartenders. If you have Ayinger, La Fin Du Monde, La Chouffe, or Westmalle in the cooler, you sure as hell ought to at least know how to pronounce them. None of the dudes I've ever encountered have any worthwhile suggestions for me, and usually just seem confused by any requests for recommendations. I guarantee they haven't tasted most of the beers, and a lot of times don't even know where the hell the beers even ARE in the cooler. And, I feel like I should just say, I'm definitely not waltzing in with a beer snob attitude. I really, really do like the selection. Sometimes I'd just like to try something different. And let's also face it: most people do not assume a chick is going to know anything about beer. So I've got a stereotype working for me, where the guys probably automatically assume I know next to nothing. So MAYBE they're figuring they don't want to bother with me, assuming I'm your run of the mill ditz. But if that's the case, then eff this place, seriously. So we only have two possibilities: the guys are brushing me off, or they just don't know anything. Neither possibility is that great, you know? I appreciate the fact that this is here, and that it has a good selection. I'd just appreciate it more if the people tasked with selling it and serving it were a little bit better. Anyone can, with a little practice, pour a Guinness correctly, or mix a strong vodka tonic. But when you stock your bar with such carefully selected craft beers, you need someone with a bit more finesse behind the bar. read more

A space that is both wide and deep, with a handful of pool tables. People speak highly of the beer selection, and so I will follow their lead. A bunch of fairly uncomfortable seats and dart boards. Nothing is wrong with this bar but it feels nevertheless like a huge smoky pasture full of dickheads. Ususally fairly full, but as it's a large space you can maintain a full hula-hoop's circumference of personal space around you if you only try a little. A good place for you if the edgiest thing you've ever done is buy a Foo Fighters CD. read more

Definitely my favorite bar in town. I've slowly become a beer drinker and Strange Brew has allowed me to try out different and new beers! They always have something fun going on, whether it's trivia, a band, or ladies night. The bartenders and bouncers are always friendly! Whether you're just visiting or a local, Strange Brew is worth checking out! read more

Love sweet baby trey, best bar, best music and hey you might even catch Shane West here on an off night.

This place gets a good rating only because of the beers it has on stock. It has probably one of the best, if not the best, collection of beer in a Shreveport/Bossier Bar. The prices aren't bad and they always have specials. Great place in North LA to get all the Abita products. Downsides to this place is it is always smokey. Also, the music is too loud. Make sure you have your ID, cause no matter how old you look, grey hairs or not, they won't let you in with out one. read more

One of my absolute favorite places in Shreveport. Great place for friends to just have a good time without being in a crowded scene. I'm into big bars and prefer the ones that know you by name and Strange Brew def does that. They have a great drink selections, staff, and overall just an awesome place to relax and have a little fun. read more

Great beer selection. Kind of a young crowd on weds. night. Off. The beaten path. Overall it's a cool little hangout."

After a disappointing first stop at another local watering hole, we decided to change venues and try out Strange Brew for the first time. Although we came in too late to participate in the beer tasting that evening, Trey made us feel right at home and very much welcomed at the bar. The selection of beer was very awesome, and hearing Trey's future plans for the place make us excited to come back more often! Thanks for a fantastic evening, Strange Brew :) read more
