Modern Brewery is a wonderful brewery near the Central West End. It has wonderful draft beer selections, as well as delicious food. They have a large indoor seating area, as well as a large outdoor patio that's great on sunny days. The service has always been good, and the food and drinks never disappoint. What's better than a cold beer and pizza?
Stopped in for a drink or two and to watch the balloons take off from Forest Park...this place was hopping! You have to wait in line to order drinks and food, but it moves pretty fast and the drinks are ready right away, and the food is delivered to your table quickly...this place is very dog and family friendly, there were people playing Majhong!! Super nice patio to sit on , and the inside is really nice!
Great beer. I was very surprised by the menu since it's a brewery. Everything we had was so freaking delicious.
My first visit to Modern was in April and I've been back several times since! It's in a great, central location if STL, and a great spot to stop after a walk in forest park. The patio outside is dog friendly, and there's a ton of seating for busy nights and big crowds. You order inside and get a number. Their beers are listed on the wall and they have a delicious food menu. I love their pizza, it's always good every time I've gotten it. They also have some pretty tasty fries. It's one of my new favorite spots, and I definitely recommend checking it out.
Yawn! The best thing about, The Modern Brewery is their spectacular patio that is dog friendly. Otherwise, everything else is just "plain Jane". Nothing impressed me and my friend. TMB is a card only business, they do not accept cash. Don't worry, they did not charge the card fee. So it's kinda like paying cash. When arriving at Modern Brewery, pick out your table before going up to the counter to order. MB is an order at counter establishment, so expect minimal service and you'll be fine. When your food is ready they'll bring it to your table, that is why you need to know your tables number before ordering. Once you've finished eating, the staff will bus your table. Delivery and bussing is the only service you'll receive. Lucky for me, I ordered a beer and was given it when I ordered it with my food. My friend unfortunately ordered a gin martini. I ordered a beer because when she ordered her martini, the staff behind the bar discussed loudly who was going to make it. Once it was made, she had to watch the bar to see it set aside and go pick it up herself. I know we were at a brewery, but I still was surprised that they served the martini in a small coupe glass and charged a premium price. Being a martini enthusiast, I am glad I did not order one, because I would have been majorly disappointed. My friend commented that it was not worth the, $14. The best thing about our food was the, Brussels Sprouts Salad. We each chose it as our side dish and it was the star of our meals. I easily could have made the side salad a meal. It was thinly sliced Brussels Sprouts, pickled red onion, goat cheese and candied walnuts with a lemon vinaigrette. This salad got two thumbs up from us. My friend ordered the, Double Cheeseburger and the meat was over cooked. It was over-cooked, cut like leather and was tough to chew. My Porchetta Pastrami was more bread then sandwich. I will say, the house pickles on it were, top notch and full of flavor.The focaccia bread was good, too. I took half of it home and unfortunately it did not do well as leftovers. The gentleman who took my friend's order was friendly and personable. However, the young lady who took mine and the other girl who ran orders and cleared tables, had the personality of a wet dishrag. We could barely get a grunt from them when we spoke. They didn't even respond to our, thank-you. Chances are you'll like, The Modern Brewery. It just wasn't for me and my friend.
I came here when my mom visited STL. We were looking for a quick bite to eat with a good drink. I've always loved the Disco Punch Sour but had never visited where it was made. Sadly, they were out of the sour but the pizza and salad definitely made up for it. My friend LOVES pickled onions and I can't wait to bring her since I know she will enjoy the food.
The first thing that stuck out to us here was how friendly and happy the staff were! The brewery was much larger than I imagined and offered a very large patio over looking the park. The menu was so tempting and we loved the Cajun influence! The Cajun Arancini was hands down the best thing we had here and is an absolute must order! Beer and food were interesting and fairly priced! Will definitely be going back for try more appetizers!
I sat outside on a beautiful summer night with family, and it was very pleasant. We came pretty close to closing time, so we tried to be fast to get out of their hair, and the service was quick and painless. The Charlie Murphy pizza was my favorite! The toppings tasted so fresh and it was perfectly cooked. I also really liked the bacon cheese fries, and I will be ordering that again. The wings didn't come with the sauce on it, so we had to pour it on, but it was still tasty. The Brussels sprouts were very fresh, but it was a lot in the bowl! I also got an Aperol spritz and it was very refreshing. Can't wait to come back!
It's hard to beat this place's location, if you want to run a few miles in the park across the street and then reverse any progress you may have made, and then some, by consuming copious quantities of beer, pizza and what have you I can confirm as much, having done so yesterday. I met here with members of a local running group for one of their periodic pub runs. It was extremely cold when I got there, despite having been nearly 90 degrees out the day before. Several members of our group stood in the doorway, preventing other patrons from entering and exiting. Modern's staff deserves credit for not complaining or forcing them to leave. They may have sensed that this wasn't the local unhoused population. Only employed people run recreationally, despite having relatively little free time. I see this place all the time, from my car on the adjacent highway, on my way back to civilization, but I'd never had the occasion to stop by. Perhaps I'd be a regular if I attended the nearby community college. But if I could afford to eat here, why would I be attending community college? The beer will set you back. I would have been fine with a 32 oz can of Miller High Life, but when in Rome. There's an extensive selection of beers on tap, and probably even more in cans and bottles. I'm no connoisseur, and I don't have that kind of time, so I went with something called Silent Gs, or something to that effect. I justified it, in part, by telling myself that its name is a reference to the Lil Wayne bar adored by people who started listening to rap music in 2003. I paid $7.50-ish for a not particularly large serving, but damn it if it wasn't pretty good. I appreciate it anytime one of these higher gravity pale ales doesn't taste like it was sourced from a trough-style urinal at a circa '83 ballpark. A couple of girls from the aforementioned run group mentioned that this place carries a brussels spouts salad. I don't eat salad, because I'm a guy, but these girls are certified baddies, and I succumbed to the peer pressure. I attempted to mitigate the impact on my reputation by also ordering a slice of pepperoni pizza. I'm gonna have to have a difficult meeting with my accountant, as a result, but it was worth it. The entree serving of the salad would have been enough food, even without the pizza. It's enough vegetables that it's actually kinda obnoxious, like they're trolling you. Who do they think I am, a damn cow? Part of that may have been the brussels sprouts. They help give the salad a surprising heft, for something that doesn't have any meat in it, and help make up for the lack of bacon, which I generally require with brussels sprouts. The candied walnuts, which I thought might be croutons, were another delightful surprise and complemented the tang of the pickled red onions. The pizza came topped with an oddly precise-looking quantity and arrangement of pepperonis, like they might have Russell Crowe from the movie A Beautiful Mind working in the kitchen. It's not like at Domino's, where they just toss them on there and they might not even be on half the pizza. I guess they have to do that when they sell it by the slice. You'd be upset if you didn't get enough of them, because they're delicious. They're the kind that curl up into little cups filled with disgustingly unhealthy and yet delicious oil. I wonder if that's also because they serve it by the slice and hence have to reheat it. That may have resulted in the end of the crust suffering from a bit of Popeyes biscuit-like dryness, but what are you going to do. Then again, that may have been a purposeful attempt to get you to purchase more expensive beer. Everything else here was so well executed, it's hard to imagine this wasn't intentional on their part.
Cute atmosphere. Large open building so sound travels. Plenty of seating. Lot of options for food. Have their own brewed beer menu. Ordered the special which was french dip w fries $20, turkey club with brussell Sprout salad. The french dip was roast beef on sesame seed baguette. The turkey club was on focaccia & the bread was delicious. The salad was shredded sprouts pickled onions & goat cheese- reminded me of cole slaw. You order at counter & they bring out food. So service is minimal. Everyone i interacted with there was kind & helpful.
Great local craft beers and creative food variety for a brewery - loved their options from apps, sandwiches/salads/soups to freshly made whole Pizzas (or by the slice)! Relaxing, casual and contemporary ambience with Fast casual friendly service. Order both drinks and food at the bar; grab your beverages from bartender, pick a table or patio seating, and food comes out quickly. Overall, a 4.0 rated experience for me. Expect to pay $10-20pp for food, plus any drinks ordered. Today we stopped in for a cleansing ale and evening snack. Kept it simple with a Citrapolis Hazy IPA, some "Crushpuppies" and a "build your own" Pie. The Crushpuppies was their version of a Crab Cake & Hush Puppy mixed, then served with Remoulade and Hot Honey drizzle. An interesting combo for sure, but a tasty starter to share. Our order came out a bit "well done", but flavorful to eat. Plenty of other starter options to choose if this creative app is not your vibe. For Pizza, we ordered a Pepperoni, Mushroom and Pepperoncini whole pie. Served hot from the oven, this was excellent with uncured pepperoni, fresh shrooms and spicy Pepperoncini's; I like "hot & spicy", but should've eased up on how much crushed red pepper I added as Pepperoncini's already gave it a really nice kick!! The crust was good, but a bit heavier than NY thin crust; and for me, glad the cheese was not Provel blend but a generous portion of Mozzarella...my kinda melted gooey cheese atop a pie! Can't wait to come back and sample other selections on their food menu as well as some of the other brews and beverages! Cheers, ENJOY!!
Before going: Definitely allow yourself some extra time to find a table if you are meeting a group of people. It's a seat yourself establishment. Big groups are harder to seat if it's packed! They have a lot of seating outside, but the weather wasn't great for us to do that. We had to wait around for a table big enough to seat us all inside. My husband and I ordered the burger with pimento cheese and added bacon, and it came with fries. We also got a salad. The salad was nothing fancy, but it felt like a lettuce tossed in sauce. My friends ordered some other items (tacos, wings, pizza, and salads) and a couple of beers. No complaints there. They did forget one of our burgers, but it was resolved after we let them know.
Modern Brewery is such a standout. Their food is exceptional--the pizza alone is worth the visit. The Charlie Murphy pizza is a must-order with the perfect balance of spices and bold flavor, and their barbacoa is insanely good. The sandwiches are served on the freshest, fluffiest focaccia-style bread that somehow manages to be both light and hearty at the same time. As a sour beer lover, I'm picky--and they absolutely nail it. Their sours are bright, balanced, and done really well. I've also tried several of their cocktails, and the spritz cocktails in particular are fantastic--refreshing, well-crafted, and perfect for sipping. Amazing food, great drinks, and a place I keep wanting to come back to.

One of the biggest patios in the area! Very family friendly brewery with a full service bar, so it's perfect for everyone! They have an extensive food menu too -- the smashburger, brussel sprouts salad, and birria fries were our favorites (I'll have to get pictures next time as the food flew off the table!). You order food and drinks at the bar and the food is brought to your table. Service was pretty fast and everyone was friendly. There's plenty of indoor seating and lots of TVs, so perfect for catching a game. You can also reserve a small section if you're looking for a place to host an event. The patio had lots of kids running around on a Saturday afternoon, so bring the whole family. read more
I met up with a large group for a Thursday happy hour, and we needed a venue that would accommodate a large group. There is a free parking lot and a huge patio that, unfortunately I think, faces the highway. There are a few businesses around it but it feels rather industrial. The location is convenient to Forest Park, the Medical Center and South City via Kingshighway or Hampton. Plenty of seating both inside and on the patio. It was extremely hot outside so we were seated inside, in the "Garden Room." This room has lots of windows (no garden) and got extremely hot during the stay. I guess the AC couldn't keep up with us. This is a brewery so they have lots of beer options. I can't speak to the quality of the beer. Since I have Celiac Disease, I checked ahead of time and made sure that I saw lots of wine on their drink menu as well. Since it was 4PM when I arrived, I asked about any happy hour specials. Sadly, they told me there were only beer happy hour specials, no wine specials. I ordered a glass of white wine from their menu and got what I thought was a small pour of an only so-so glass for the price. I did like that you order your drinks in a separate line, and you can pay as you go like I did or start a tab. This is great for a large group like ours. You can also order food and have it delivered to your table. While this is a large venue in a convenient location, it did not feel very special. read more

Love Modern Brewery. Well run establishment. Great service and food. The beer is excellent. They have specials and cocktails as well. Nice menu with salads, sandwiches and apps. The patio is fabulous. Sit outside and watch the Autobahn that is highway 40. On Oakland near the science center. Go here on a beautiful night and people watch. Family friendly as I saw lots of babies! Everything here is top notch quality and quantity. Head here with all of your friends for an enjoyable time! read more

The Turkey Club, no mustard, is my new favorite sandwich, period. It's huge, could only have 1/2 of it, but the aioli with the lettuce and pickles works great with turkey, cheese and bacon. That bread is buttery and delicious all together. The Caymus small bottle, amazing wine! read more

Very spacious and comfortable. Better food options than most breweries around St. Louis. You order at the bar but easy and quick. We essentially served ourselves besides delivering and cleaning up our table but exactly what you would expect at a standard brewery. Great chill hangout location will definitely be going back. A nice variety of beers which everyone enjoyed! read more
I've had modern brewery a few times but realized I've never written a review! It's usually really packed, so you mig hit need to try to go at odd times, but service has always been super quick, no matter how busy it is. The location is great and super open space, plus a nice patio! I haven't gotten beer here before but everyone I've gone with loves it. I've loved all the cocktails I tried too, especially the strawberry one! Fries are always delicious. The bacon cheese fries are some of my fav in St. Louis! I've also tired the barbacoa melt and the chicken sandwich (buffalo/spicy style). The barbacoa melt was absolutely perfect, the focaccia is delicious and it's great portions - I took home half and it was amazing leftover too!The chicken sandwich was great too, but definitely would lean towards the barbacoa melt in the future. read more

Went to Modern Brewery this week and I enjoyed enjoyed the food & atmosphere. I was surprised to see they had a special on crawfish handpies & the person at the register said they were good so I had to order it. She is right. It was good. Fresh, cooked perfectly to be crisp on the outside and warm/hot throughout. Not quite as good as in Mississippi or Louisiana but it was tasty. And perfect for lunch with a side salad. I got a Caesar and added bacon cause I'd heard the word. Was yummy. One of the folks had wings and fries, they looked awesome and she said they were great. Someone else had and loved the Bibb Salad with green goddess dressing. The only meal someone said was just ok was a slice she ordered. Everything came out really quickly. I find it kind of weird that I saw lots of large red cups that said Coke on them but ordering a Coke meant getting that cup with ice and a can. There is a full bar, a fountain drink would have made more sense and would have been more likely to fill the cup: I was there for a business lunch, a small group. We booked the small room at the side which was nice. We were asked to go to the counter to order rather than use the QR code for some reason. Only complaint on the space was it was freezing cold. I did bring a jacket though I hadn't needed it outside but the AC was insane. I would have moved, maybe to the patio but the work thing ya know. It perfectly suits meeting up with friends for a few beers or bites. Will remember it's there as the proximity to highways and Forest Park & the Science Center makes it a good option for various meetups. read more

Super cool place. Only complaint is holy cow, there were a million kids running around (I've noticed this recent trend- tons of kids at area breweries). The kids didn't bother me, but just a heads up in case you're one of those "get off my lawn" types. Also, we were there on a Saturday evening, and it was packed. It's seat yourself, so you might have to search for an open table. Food orders are at the counter. The line was long, but it moved really quickly. Food was outstanding. I had the schnitzel slider, hubs had the crab cake sandwich. For as crowded as the place was, the time to get the food was very reasonable. It was hot and absolutely delicious. The beer was also awesome. I had the Dessert Island Cherry Cordial (yes, dessert, not desert). OhmyLawd it was divine. Sadly they ran out before I could get a 2nd round of that. We also had the Bird Man and Disco punch, which were also excellent. Really glad we finally decided to try this place out. We'd definitely come back. read more
We're glad to have finally been able to stop by since all other times we weren't able to find parking... Diverse beer selection and Cajun-inspired menu. Although we liked our beers a lot, our food order was only ok. Willing to visit again to try more of there beers. read more
The food here was absolutely delicious. The Paloma on draft was very tasty also. The service was a bit lacking. When they brought the food out to the table, they didn't always bother to find the person who ordered the item., They just left it on the table. A lot of places nowadays are loud, but this place beat most of them. It was obnoxiously LOUD. And then they had music playing on top of it. Not a place I'd pick to go to again. And that's a shame, because the food is really good. read more
My husband and I have been fans of modern brewery for many years, frequently patronizing their operation on Manchester prior to opening this amazing establishment on Oakland. Why? The beer is amazing. This is coming from someone who's not particularly fond of craft beers. Birdman is the beer that changed my mind and to this day is still my favorite!! Over the years, I've tried a number of Modern's beers and although they all may have not been my cup of tea, the quality and passion is in each one. In our most recent visit, I finally tried the food and I was impressed. The portions are very generous and priced well. If you know me, I like to start my tasting experience with small plates to get a feel for the place, so that's what we did. Here is my take on each: Brussels Sprouts salad - Delicious! A very generous portion for a side salad and great flavor. Cajun Arancini - These were so good. A crispy, crunchy exterior with a creamy, cheesy interior. I was not a fan of the dipper. Luckily, they were just fine without any dipper but I would have preferred a marinara or something with more bite. Crushpuppies - Wow! These were wonderful. Again, a crispy, crunchy bite with goodness inside. Unlike the arancini, I think these needed a dipping sauce, perhaps more of the drizzling sauce on the side. Korean tacos - These were a little too sweet but had good heat. The tacos came heaped with meat, almost too much meat. Is that a thing? For me it was...maybe using a larger tortilla would help. Modern is a vibe of its own that offers great beer (wine and cocktails) and good food. Come for the beer but definitely try the food!! You won't be disappointed. There are no servers here. You either need to go up to the order area to get your drink or food or scan a QR code to order. I have mixed feelings with this. On one hand, you don't need to wait for someone to come around place your order but on the other hand, having a server provides more of a personable and connected experience. Definitely not a dealbreaker, though. I love Modern and will continue to frequent this establishment as the beers and food change. You've gotta try it all, right?!? Kudos to Modern Brewery!! A St. Louis MUST visit. Can't wait for warmer weather to enjoy a drink and pizza on the patio. read more

We stopped here in hopes to taste some different cider brands and was sad to find out only one cider is sold here and it's dry (yuck) staff were friendly and building and vibes definitely were upbeat. We left pretty quickly but ambiance and outdoor patio definitely made us stop in . read more

Modern Brewery in St. Louis, Missouri is putting out some of the best beers in the city. Between their IPAs and Stouts you could argue one of the top breweries in the State - though don't sleep on the food in the brewery or their other styles. I enjoyed a flight of the darker variety. Toast Malone An Imperial Stout Finished on House Toasted Almonds and Tahitian Gold Vanilla Beans. Looted Art + Coconut (2024 Bourbon Barrel Aged): An Imperial Stout aged for 1 Year in Buffalo Trace Bourbon Barrels and Slumbered on Toasted Coconut Flakes. This is a coconut BOMB. Phenom (2023 Rye Barrel): A Chocolate Oatmeal Imperial Stout Aged in Sazerac Rye Barrels for 21 Months. Deliciously velvety and chocolatey. Devil Magic: An Imperial Stout consisting of a blend of four barrels ranging from 14 to 27 months. ______________ read more

Jamming happy hour! Quite a crowd. Self orders or QR and order at table which are numbered for food service. Pick up your drink at the bar. Pub style food choices but nice tweaked a bit with poutine, hush puppies which were delicious. Sandwiches, pizza were ample and looked good! Well cocktail choices was a surprise. Happy, noisy room but great vibe and crowd seemed to agree. read more

You know if there is pizza involved I will get there eventually! When a few friends suggested we meet at Modern Brewery on a Sunday I gladly accepted. I got a Diet Coke (not a drinker) and a slice of the Charlie Murphy (red sauce base, mozzarella, sausage, pepperoni, whipped ricotta, fresh basil, and hot honey drizzle) Pizza. It's a large slice. This is a hand tossed fermented dough. Very flavorful and nice. I thought the slice was nice and crisp. I'm curious if it would be the same if you ordered the whole pizza or if it was extra crispy because of the recook on the slice. I liked the char and the slim cornicione of the crust. The toppings were all flavorful and great together. I'll be back and I'll be ordering a whole pizza! read more
