Location still great. Beer on this visit was bad. Service was worse than terrible. What I regret most is leaving a good tip. So, I tasted an amber ale and it was obviously oxidized to an unpleasant level. Generally, this is due to old beer and production methods that do not exclude oxygen from the process. Some of these methods are a tradeoff--but oxidized is oxidized and there is nothing you can do about it after it happens. The server disagreed that it was oxidized by looking at the glass of beer thus exhibiting her lack of what oxidized beer or wine is and how one would detect it. The the server said that it is a surprising taste, "The first time you are [at a craft brewery] here". I paid for bad beer. I left a tip for an insult and terrible service. read more

Great service and an awesome location. Head brewer was extremely friendly and accommodating. Good summer drinks! read more

Unlawful Assembly Brewing Company - Beer flight - Breweries Near Me - Plano, Texas

Contrary to it's name, Unlawful Assembly Brewing Company is on the up-and-up, so no need to hide from the law. (Unless you are underage-then you'd better skip this one.) This fun brewery is located inside Legacy Hall and has all the inner workings of your childhood "Willie Wonka" factory, with a grown-up twist. I booked a tour for a group of colleagues and myself after work one evening. Everyone excitedly gathered around and prepared for the tour. After a quick signing of the waiver, we were on our way. First stop-a selection of three beers to choose from. Unfortunately, I was more concerned about getting my party of 17 corralled than noting the beer varieties-but I do remember one was chocolate flavored and another was fruity-pineapple perhaps? Our tour guide was knowledgeable and patient with the group as we asked lots of questions. As a non beer-drinker myself, I was more interested in the process of making it, rather than tasting the beer. He acknowledged that not everyone is a "beer person", making me feel much more at ease. At the end of the tour, you have the option to go down a giant spiral slide from the third floor down to the first. Several members of our group took on the challenge, while some took the stairs instead. I was one of the adventurous sliders, and lived to tell the tale. I will warn you, it picks up speed quickly and shoots you out at the bottom faster than I shoot out of bed when I over-use the snooze button on my alarm. Be warned. read more

Legacy Hall Brewery! This brewery is up on the second floor of the Legacy Hall food hall. You can check out the whole operation, which is built permanently into the food hall. You can see all their kegging equipment and fermentation stuff along the walls. They have a few places around the building that can serve up their beers. It's all a bit expensive, but these are the only beers that are available here, which was nice. The favorite was the pineapple wheat which was fruity and citrusy and amazing. The beers were all served cold, with a proper head on them. I came for a concert, so I guess they were just pouring drinks as fast as they could. The beers were the same price, so I ended up going for the stronger ones, which was pretty solid. The place is a great place to get plenty to eat along with a bunch of beers. read more

Amazing service And Tom the brewmaster has created a variety of innovative brews that will appeal to just about everyone. Please come check it out!!! We had the best time here!!! read more

2019 Yelp 120 Challenge 2019 - #58 Unlawful Assembly Brewing Company is located on the 3rd floor of the Food Court of Legacy Hall. Unlawful Assembly has great beer flight selections and a beautiful view of the box garden below. Happy Hour is Monday - Friday from 3pm - 7pm with $3 Unlawful beers. Yum! You can order your favorite drinks from their inside bar or from their outside bar. I've been when the outside bar was open and when when it has been closed. When the outside bar door is closed them they will have employees walking around assisting with drinks and menu orders. My favorites beers are the Double Justice Imperial IPA, Blind Justice IPA, Rebel Faction, and Public Dissent Pale Ale. They also have delicious food items from their complimentary popcorn to their yummy lemon pepper chicken bits. read more

This is one of the most unusual breweries I think I've ever seen. It's up on top of the Legacy building. There are tours but only on Saturday so be sure to come back on Saturday. The people here are really super nice and they gave me all kinds of good ideas for Good Eats in the building. Don't forget to look outside there's some interesting eating areas actually outside and a garden area as well. The bartender was super helpful and help me make a really great selection. Only 6:50. Keep in mind that the entire building is card only. That means no cash. Except you can still give a tip in cash. read more

Fun local brewery in Plano and I'm bound to give at least 4-stars to any local craft brew place just for the sheer effort of doing the work. Their brown ale and passion pineapple are tasty. I didn't think the IPA was one of the better I've had, so I'm going to steer clear of those next time. Again, not because they aren't good - just not in my list of fav local IPAs. To be honest, we are spoiled for IPA choice in DFW. Taking the tour is fun and recommended. You'll be surprised at the size of operation they fit into a relatively small space. You'll also likely meet the brewmaster. That's worth the price of admission because it's clear he loves the craft and knows his stuff. We'd recommend getting a flight and trying several out. You won't be sorry! Unlawful is a great addition to the Plano scene and a totally fun place to spend an afternoon...particularly on the outdoor patio with a glass of brew. read more

This is a fun brewery located on the 3rd floor of Legacy Hall. You're free to roam around with your beer to make the next tough decision of what to eat among the several restaurants! I had the Passion Pineapple Dol Time ($6.50) which was sweet. The pineapple notes really stood out. There is indoor seating which has a cool library setting, the bar, and outdoor seating. They possibly have a live band / artist playing that night! Parking is plentiful at the parking structure. read more

The idol time pineapple passion fruit wheat was to die for. Very refreshing when it was 100 degrees! The fact it's in the food hall is a little bit of a bummer cause it's a little bit of a pain in the ass to park at and walk in. The crowds are mostly on the first two floors so we had cooler and less crowded seating up in the brewery which was nice. Overall a win. read more

My boyfriend and I took the brewery tour on Saturday and it was so much fun! We don't know anything about beer so we really liked learning about the process and being able to talk and ask questions during and after the tour was very enjoyable. Cody and Dave/Dan? (I'm so sorry I'm bad with names) were really super friendly and receptive and even gave us food recommendations for the rest of the food hall. The tour is $15 per person and comes with a free glass and two free beer coupons, honestly a steal for the great time we had! We tried Idol Time which was very sweet and I liked that one a lot. They also gave us Agave Lime to try during the tour and that's not on the menu at the bar but I'd definitely recommend that too, super subtle flavor and pleasant! read more

Tried the brown Ale and smoky brown Ale and really liked them both, especially the smoky brown. Really impressed with KC, who made a point of introducing himself despite the large crowd on this Saturday night. Will definitely be back. Recommendation for Legacy Hall in general: come early or come late. The crowd between 7-10 was pretty heavy, at least this weekend. There was a line of 30-40 ppl outside Legacy Hall at 7pm queued up for entry and seating anywhere for more than a couple of people was non-existent until late. read more

Fantastic beer and warm outside bar. Great for the season! Nitro stout and peachmonger are amazing! read more

Unlawful Assembly Brewing Company - Flight of Beer - Breweries Near Me - Plano, Texas

Really enjoyed the Happy Hour pricing (3p to 7pm with $3 Unlawful Assembly beers). But apparently that changed a few weeks ago. Now it's 3pm to 6pm and $4. Wouldn't be a problem, but I don't really love any of their beers. While I enjoy Legacy Hall, I'd rather find another place for Happy Hour. Not worth battling the parking garage at this rate... read more

Very nice microbrewery in Plano, quite a few IPA options, I had a flight that was mostly IPA. They are decent but not meet my mark yet. The bandit IPA and dissent pale ale are bit on the light side, and the double justice is overdone. I like the blind justice the most but I definitely had better IPA somewhere else. read more

Great location. Very cool energy and mix of things with the food court at the lower level of the building. The beers available at Unlawful Assembly were great. I had an agave lime beer and loved it. Wish I had more time to try some more. read more

I came here for the first time specifically for karaoke night -- not to sing, but to watch a bunch of drunk people sing MMMBop. It was a great night overall. Unlawful Assembly's located on the 3rd floor of Legacy Hall. They occupy that entire floor and have a bar, the High Bar Kitchen, and a decent patio area. The food menu's quite limited so if you're hungry, you're better off grabbing food from the other floors. We had the Chicken Tender Bites with Thai Sweet Chili sauce and the Beef Nachos. Both were amazing and tasted great. For drinks, my husband had the Public Dissent and I had a Sierra Mist and then switched to a Passion Fruit Pineapple Wheat. First off, the soda was nasty AF. It was warm and in a paper cup that obviously changed the flavor -- like when you drink out of a paper straw and after a while your drink starts to taste like paper, that's what I experienced. The beers, however, were much better. We're not regular beer drinkers so I won't speak like I know what I'm talking about but they were pretty good nonetheless. The Public Dissent was tolerable but my husband loved the taste of my Passion Fruit Pineapple Wheat tasted. He's not much of a fruity-drink guy, and I thought it was okay; great taste, great after taste, but ehh while drinking -- that's the beer despiser in me speaking. Going back to karaoke, we got there a little after it was supposed to start (7pm) and there wasn't much going on. It didn't pick up until around 8 and that's when people really started to line up to sing. The guy who runs it seemed pretty cool and even busted out into a Sinatra tune and got everyone into a groove. It's a small setup, but still pretty cool and something I might come back for. I don't know if it's only on karaoke night but it was ridiculously loud. To the point where you're leaving the place with a sore throat from shouting. Even if you're sitting shoulder to shoulder with someone, you're shouting and straining to hear them; the music inside is loud and it's worse when someone's singing. The noise level was kind of weird because it wasn't all that crowded so I'm unsure why they had it cranked so high. It was a pretty chill night and most patrons were there to watch a hockey game and only got loud when someone scored. All things considered, it's a decent place to hang out and enjoy a drink. read more

My boyfriend and I have now visited U lawful twice, once on Saturday and today on a Sunday. The first time we participated in the comedy brewery tour--such a hoot! This time was just snacks from the food hall and casual drinks. After the first visit's tour, we stayed to try more beers and watch cliff diving. My boyfriend still raves about the Rebel Faction (Shiner is his got-to) and I have daydreams about the Agave Lime (not available off-site). The bartenders are always friendly, willing to offer samples, and will chat with you about the random sports on their multiple tv screens. read more

Update: I initially really enjoyed this brewery. However, after having a second beer I was promptly told by the manager that my two drinks in two hours were too many for me. Not only did I feel I was being singled out for being a female, but also because this particular manager had not, as much as spoken to me for the entire time I was there. I can't believe the way I was treated, especially considering I had a DD. The manager at this bar didn't care about the safety of its patrons, but instead was only concerned with insuring that last call well before 1am, so he himself could go out and enjoy himself. I will not be patronizing this establishment again. For reference our bill was $30 total in a span of two and a half hours for 4 beers. My boyfriend never dealt with the obvious male preference, and I in turn was not capable of drinking two beers, from what I can only assume was a sexist decision making. Interestingly enough, I keep a breathalyzer in my purse and both my boyfriend and I blew under the legal limit. My suggestion would be to not frequent this brewery. They may have some good beers on tap, but that doesn't make up for their lack of customer service. This place has great beer and great live music. I highly recommend the Passion Pineapple Wheat beer. It has a smooth summer taste! read more

Beer is poor quality, not a craft beer location for beer snobs. The beer tasted like it was all from extract and no creativity with beer selection. I don't think they have added any thing new in 3 years! Disappointed on Father's Day for sure... read more

I've been here a few times with friends. It's located on the third floor of Legacy Hall, which most times is pretty calm compared to the super busy first floor. There's good seating around here, as well as a view of the box garden from the patio. The bar is two sided, so you can order from indoors or outdoors. You can order beer here. I like getting flights, which I am glad to see that they have. They also recently just opened a kitchen, so you can eat some food here (and ultimately not have to travel to the crazy hustle and bustle of the first floor for food). I like the hef the best! Overall, this is a pretty cool spot to check out at Legacy Hall. It's a more chill spot. Also they do brewery tours and trivia if you are game! read more

After a hot day shopping at legacy west. It's nice to cool off with a beer or two. Down side is it's only beer. But the micro brews are ok here. Had better but hits the spot read more

What an awesome brewery and amazing location! Plenty of room for lounging about or hanging out at the bar. Farmhouse is delicious and so is the Belgian (though a little pale)... overall delicious. Clean restrooms as well. read more

Great spot for a craft brew and a day or night out that won't break the bank. You can enjoy your beer overlooking the Legacy Hall Box... watch the game on the big screen, or the free concert onstage. I visited in July and enjoyed a flight, was particularly impressed with their saison (can't remember if they call it farmhouse ale), and their Amber. Hungry? Grab some quality food downstairs and bring it up. Great concept. read more

Really enjoyed this brewery, although the seating inside is a bit lacking. Great balcony/patio overlooking the concert venue - there is also a giant screen down there so it's a great place to catch a game of your favorite sportsball! The brews are good and there's even a noodle joint sharing the space. read more

Came here for trivia night and it was quite packed. There was a nice patio area to sit in and they have nice heaters out there! Beers are good but wine pours are weak. I shouldn't be drinking wine at a brewery anyway read more

As far as I'm concerned there's something rotten in Rotterdam going on at Unlawful Assembly. My husband and I ordered two drinks- a pale ale and a well gin and tonic. We were handed just a receipt with a total for $17. My husband's beer was only $6 so that makes a WELL gin and tonic $11! The fact that we weren't provided a receipt with a breakdown of our charges is shady to me and to charge that much for a well drink is absolutely absurd. If you like being ripped off, this is the place for you. read more

Their name is appropriate because getting flights of beer for $3 during happy hour should be against the law! Their brews were solid, and the service was even better. Not my favorite IPAs, but their barrel-aged stout and pilsners were top-notch. The saison was pleasant, but the weather called for heavier brews yesterday. Everyone was so friendly, and this bar changed my perception of food halls (see my last review for a food hall in Raleigh). I would love to return and drink my way through the menu on a Saturday when they offer tours. The space is inviting as well, and the location on the third floor of the food hall is ideal. Who doesn't love having so many dining options literally next door, so you don't have to worry about driving? read more

I had two beers here while eating at the Legacy Food Hall on a Tuesday night. Both bartenders were very helpful and friendly, and I experienced good customer service. The bartender was nice enough to spontaneously pour me two small beer samples, as I wanted a beer line a brown ale. The beer I got was a very good craft beer and I came back up to order a refill. They are on the third floor (I was sitting on the second floor), and have nice seating areas around their bar. It was a good craft-beer experience. read more

This place had a great beer selection. Came in with my husband and few friends after dinner and was super impressed. They had a great beer selection and live music. Got a little crowded at one point but we were able to snag a spot at the bar. Bartenders were super helpful and guided us through their options. We met the manager and she informed us about all the cool new stuff that they are working on at legacy Hall and with the beer. Legacy Hall was like a huge food court with bars. which we didn't really get to enjoy yet bc we had just eaten. Being big beer lovers we felt that had to at least try the beer. Will definitely be back to try more beer and hopefully walk around more and try some of the food. Will definitely try to come on not such a busy night though. read more

Really loved the tour - take it and you'll have fun! But definitely have a beer for the tour, much funnier. The beers we tried were great, my husband and I really liked the brown ale a lot. The amber was great, too. The brewery is in a great spot at Legacy Hall and sell definitely try to come back next time we're near Plano. read more
