I stopped into Tindall Road Brewery for an after-dinner drink with a few friends, and found myself in one of those odd little scenes that makes you wonder if you've walked into the wrong play. Out front, every table was packed shoulder to shoulder with what appeared to be a local running group in post-run celebration. Laughter, sweat, and IPAs filled the air. Inside, however, it was the crowd was sparse, save for two small groups competing in Harry Potter trivia, an event we hadn't realized was happening. After the first round, one of those tables gave up and left. That should have made the place quieter, but the trivia host's amplifier made sure it did not. Even from the far corner, it was nearly impossible to hold a conversation without shouting. It was as though someone had mistaken the volume knob for a test of strength. The bartender, to his great credit, was friendly and quick, the kind of person who makes you feel like maybe the night will work out after all. The beers themselves were fine. I tried the Pineapple Express milkshake IPA and the porter. Both were serviceable, neither was memorable. The brewery allows outside food, which is a small mercy. Being on Farnsworth, there are plenty of good places to bring something in from. They also sell simple snacks like chips and jerky, a practical touch that suits the space. Still, the whole experience left me puzzled. The place seems to want to be a neighborhood hub, but it can't decide whether to be a quiet refuge or a loud event hall. Empty yet loud, welcoming yet difficult to linger in. I wouldn't drive out of my way to return, but if a friend suggested meeting there, I'd go. I'd just hope the trivia host had the night off. read more

We came here for the first time as there was a band playing there that we wanted to see. Got there early to get a good spot. We split a flight of 4: the beers were all very tasty. I dont know if they weren't expecting the crowd that they got, but it got very loud to the point you could barely hear the band. Kept getting bumped into by other patrons hanging around our table, hanging on our table, etc. There were only 2 people working the bar with such a crowd that it took almost 20 minutes just to get someone's attention when we wanted to settle up. We wanted to stay longer but it was just way too crowded. I really dont know if I'll go back. read more

Tidal Road Brewery in Bordentown is well worth a visit. Came here on a Sunday afternoon with a friend. The cozy atmosphere inside makes it a perfect spot to relax with a drink, whether you're stopping in for a quick beer or spending the evening with friends. They have a solid selection of brews, offering a good variety for different tastes--from hop-forward IPAs to smooth, easy-drinking lagers. My favorite is hazy recall, which is a NE hazy IPA with juicy flavor and smooth after taste. Make sure you get one when you are there next time. Marcy, the owner, is a fantastic host who makes everyone feel welcome. She's friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about creating a great experience for guests. Whether you're a regular or a first-timer, you'll feel right at home. If you're in the area and looking for a great local brewery with a warm, inviting vibe, Tidal Road Brewery is definitely worth checking out! read more

Stumbled upon this cozy brewery in Bordentown. They had about 10 beer options to try. I had the Boats n Hoes and it was tasty! There were some cool bar games with plenty of seating options. They had free pizza, too. Cool perk! Would love to come back someday. LGBT+ friendly!! read more

Very nice dark malty beer. Staff was nice and friendly. Will come again when I'm in town. Easy to see from street. Very nice crowd. Handicapped parking available, but entrance is not handicapped accessible. Would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a great beer and food crowd. read more

At risk of sounding like some douchey Supreme Court member, I like beer! Tindall Road has always been a good place to stop in and imbibe. Their menu changes regularly because...they're a brewery. To me, the fact that the menu isn't overwhelmingly huge, and isn't 1000 IPA's with no other varieties is a very big plus. They offer flights up to growlers. Some brews are 10 oz pours and others are 16. Having a non-beer option available is awesome for those who DON'T like beer or are celiac. In this case, that was a peach seltzer that was available as a slushee. It got good reviews. The brewery now offers some snack options like dietz & watson "dietz nuts" (clever), bags of chips, and I think I saw beef jerky on the shelf too. However if you really need to soak up the alcohol, or wish to pair it with food, the owners are happy to let you bring in cuisine from any eatery you'd like (and there are several within stumbling distance). The bathroom is clean and the bar staff was friendly and happy to chat. Some outdoor seating and water bowls for people's canine companions were a nice touch on a warm May afternoon. It seems like a kid friendly place as well, they have couches in the front where they could be seen and heard. That's fine with me. I ended up having 3 different beers this past Saturday: a brown ale, a lager, and a dry Irish stout. The brown ale was my favorite of the bunch, but that might be because it was my third beer. Who knows? sometimes the law of diminishing marginal utility doesn't apply. They partner with the Bordentown library for trivia on..I think it's Wednesday night. We want to check that out sometime. Trivia or not, we'll definitely be back! read more

Came here on a Sunday and discovered that it was last call as I walked up to the bar :) Woops! I was thinking about trying a flight but instead just ordered a single beer since my time was limited. I ordered the Gold Member and it was pretty decent! Nothing extraordinary but I'd definitely order it again. The brewery had a bunch of tables and a good amount of seating throughout, so it was easy to find somewhere to chill. Overall, I would definitely come back here if I was in the area. read more

BORDENTOWN: Tindall Road Brewery is located in the beautiful downtown Bordentown and their outdoor tables are dog friendly! People watch as you enjoy seasonal selections and regular favorites in a flight or pint. The Huckleberry Wheat was great! When you are done, walk down the beautiful Farnsworth Avenue. There is also the Delaware River right down W Park street! read more

Tindall Road Brewery - the outside of the building - Brewpubs Near Me - Bordentown, New Jersey

A friend and I had a very nice time here a few days ago. She's been a few times but this was my first visit. As in many of the Bordentown restaurants, a tent extends into the street for more outdoor space. It was a mild evening but we opted to sit inside mainly so I could order a flight( they are not available outside) We also brought a pizza and cannolis with us to better enjoy the brews. I was happy with my four selections, probably enjoyed the milkshake IPA and pumpkin chai the best. I'm a super fan of sours, but sadly they were not represented here. But each beer sampled was fresh and well made, though not necessarily earth shattering. I finished the tasting with a nice porter, pairing nicely with the sweet cannoli. The 2 employees we encountered were friendly and professional. We were deep in conversation so were left alone most of our time here. But a single taster came in to sit at the bar and I noticed the warm interaction. I liked the interior, wide open space with large bar and brew kettles all out front on display. Even during Covid there were about 6-8 seating options inside, not including the bar. My advice: get takeout from somewhere on this street or nearby and come in for a flight or pour. This is the closest brewery to my house and I'm sure I'll return as new items appear on the menu. read more

This place is huge! It was definitely a surprise how spacious it is, especially for it being in downtown Bordentown. The bar area is quite large and there are many hightop tables and regular tables. There's even a couple of sofas in the front that are perfect for relaxed intimate conversation or people watching on Farnsworth. If you need more to do, they have two dartboards, a bowling game, monster Jenga, and a good amount of board games. As for the beer, they have a decent selection. Definitely not the largest variety though. Half of the menu consist of IPAs. I tried about 8 different beers and they were all pretty good. Even the IPAs were good and I'm usually not a fan of them. Lastly, the staff is very welcoming and friendly. I really enjoyed conversing with them. All in all, this place exceeded my expectations by far and I will definitely visit them again the next time I'm in the area. read more

Pretty cool place with some tasty beers. We were already planning to be nearby so we added this to our day. I will say that I was a bit bummed out that they didn't have the Banana Wheat on tap (noticed afterwards on website it is seasonal, my mistake) or the Mango IPA (this one falls on them because it's listed on the website as a regular). One of our all-time favorite beers is a Banana Wheat so we were bummed that wasn't on rotation but that's not their fault! They did offer a Peach IPA instead of the Mango but I didn't care much for it, but I do love Mango so I was really bummed to not be able to try it. We got their Wheat selection (forget the name), the Copper ale and the New England IPA. The IPA was very good, I enjoyed it very much. The Wheat was solid and the Copper Ale was okay - I preferred the IPA. I hope they put the Session back in rotation as the warmer months are coming up quickly. I think prices are a little on the high end for where we were, Bordentown. These are higher than the prices I pay at a local brewery at home in downtown Red Bank which is a much more expensive area. Idk $8 an IPA is a bit rich for me but we always like to check put new breweries and certainly understand the price point for a small brewery. Overall, glad we came to check it out and might be back if the Banana Wheat & Mango IPA are on tap. read more

The beer wasn't bad. I wasn't overly impressed . Nice place on the avenue in Bordentown. Nice little establishment. Would I go back ? read more

This is some of the worst tasting beer I have ever had. The only reason this place is in business is because bordentown is walkable and residents like to find someplace to drink. read more

What an awesome local spot. Tindall Road, if nothing else, has a rockstar staff. The folks who ran the place when we stopped in simultaneously made us feel at home and comfortable. The tent set up feels like it belongs here and almost makes you forget there is a ban on indoor bars and restaurants. They had a great rotation going this past Saturday, and we were lucky enough to get to try a few different kinds. For me the wheat beer (Steppenwolf's) was the winner, and if you can only go for a single pick its probably the way to go. The indoor scene looked like it would be a great spot to hang if it were open (passed through to use the restroom), and as we have a buddy who lives down the street, I'm sure we will get a chance to check it out one day. All in all, this is a great spot in an awesome little town. If you find yourself in Bordentown stop by and say hey (BYO pizza from up the block). read more

We stumbled in here for a cheer up after a tough soccer tournament loss at the finals... And we ended up staying for a couple hours tasting all the interesting and delicious craft beers and playing some really fun bar games. Some very special IPAs - unlike anything I have ever tasted. Def worth a trip. The vibe is cool and easy. Super clean and familiar. The staff was great and really personalble. They went out of their way to show our boys the games and make them feel comfortable. They were helpful with suggestions for the local places where we could order food. Go a bit out of your way for a pitstop here...you won't be sorry! read more

1st time checking out Bordentown and of course had to stop in at this brewery. Lots of street parking in the area... maybe at peak times might take you some time. Plenty of seating when we came on a Saturday afternoon and was greeted quickly! Bartender was Ryan... he was great and gave us some suggestions based on what we normally drink. Unfortunately no flights buttttt they at least offered to let us sample the beers to taste before committing :-) I always appreciate great beer names.. there was one in particular called Boats n Hoes (Stepbrothers movie if you don't know so don't get offended). That beer was just ok tho.. nothing spectacular. BUTTTTT there was one called Expresso Thai Chili Stout... and that was good even on this summer day! Had a little kick but nothing that lingered and was overwhelming. I really enjoyed it! If it didn't fill me up too quickly, I would have gotten another.. but it was hot I was a one and done lol. Looks like they have a great selection and always have something new to add to the mix. This time around they had a Christmas flavored one for their Christmas and July theme.. so that was a popular brew that was running low. Nice place to stop in and try... and of course Bordentown is another little town to come check out as they've got a number of restaurants in walking distance to try out! Will definitely be back as it's not too far from me. read more

Ugh we really wanted this place to be great. First of all the decor is all over the place and in such a cool space in an old building it has so much potential. Also, behind the bar is just a mess with Lowe's paint buckets, papers, and junk all over the place. This would all be fine if the beer was great but unfortunately it wasn't. Every beer we tried tasted watered down, overly sweet and over carbonated. The color, taste, and smells were also off and some had a strange chemical taste. We really wished this place would be decent since the new owners came in but it is not. Also, do t expect cheery bartenders welcoming you. The people working there seemed like they were not happy at all. read more

I wasn't a huge fan when this brewery first opened, but must admit now that the beers are improving more and more with each visit. My favorites the Pecan I have Another (very challenging to find a quality brown beer) and the Pumpkin spice beers. Had to knock off a star though as the atmosphere of the brewery is just "meh". Just not as casual and relaxing as most other breweries in NJ. The staff are not rude, but not exceptionally friendly either. I love when "beertenders" love to talk about their beers...but I just don't get that vibe here. read more

Nice product line BUT the staff is NOT friendly at all !!!!!!! In fact a bit rude, like you are bothering them. .... They seem overworked. The "bartender" got me my beer, no greeting or conversation then went back to canning their beer... for take out consumption,, Have been there several times and it is the same each time.. NOT a friendly place at all, strictly BUSINESS !!!!!!!! When I go out to relax, I want to feel invited. This place does not have that feel. Too many other good, fun local places to go to. I would not suggest going here... read more

Always love supporting local breweries. Wish we got to visit outside of COVID times because the interior is super cool, with lots of screens and games. But we settled for outdoor seating in their tent with some live music. They have a surprisingly diverse selection of beer types available for a small operation. Stuff I didn't expect to find like Christmas beers and a espresso Thai chili stout. Most of the beers I tried were good. I think my favorite was just their pretty standard porter. The staff is the best! read more

After a Punk Rock Flea Market, my wife and I decided to check out Tindall. This is a very spacious brewery with a decent amount of tables and a large bar. You will not find any issue finding a seat.

My husband and I go to this great local brewery since it reopened after covid with a great outdoor space. There is a large selection of beers and are some of the best I've ever tasted.

Great beer and a really cool vibe to the place! You can bring food or have it delivered to you wile enjoying a beer.

Being a B-town resident I'm bias towards any brewery in town but they do a damn good job of putting out some tasty beers. Good live music too. I'm a hige fan of the stout and some of the other ales. They put out some strange ones such as a porter with some strange flavors like licorice. I even like that one though. Be careful though. High alc. content will have you swaying before you know it! read more

I enjoyed the beer. There was a variety of interesting IPAs and some lighter beers for a my wife to try. Service was pleasant. Atmosphere was good. Nice outdoor and indoor seating. I was disappointed they did not sell juice or soda for my kids. We brought food in from Marcellous down the street and did not know what to do with the pizza box etc afterwards. We ended up bringing the trash to the car. It would have been nice if they offered to dispose of our trash for us, or directed us to a trash can to use. I did not ask either though so this could be my fault. Overall a really good experience. We will be back! read more

Delicious beers, friendly staff, live music, and following Covid precautions to the t. Thanks! We will def come back.
