SOMERVILLE: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Village Brewing Company absolutely adores their doggy visitors! From their Village VIPs dog menu to the beautiful outdoor patio and the way the staff showers pups with attention, the love is everywhere[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Dogs are officially welcome on the outdoor patio (perfect for people‑watching), and when it is not too busy, you might even get to bring your pup inside. Pups have even been spotted chilling at the bar. This brewpub serves up its own craft beer and a full kitchen menu featuring American‑style dishes made with local ingredients. We went classic with the big pretzel, a perfect snack, and washing it down with a beer was basically the icing on the pretzel (okay... cake). Beer lovers will be happy with options ranging from IPAs to ales to a refreshing hefeweizen. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Brie devoured the grilled chicken, and we loved hanging out in the modern, welcoming space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Shoutout to Dylan, our awesome server who provided great conversation and great vibes. And a special hello to Justin, visiting from Florida, who has two cavapoos waiting for him back home. read more

Went to Village Brewery on May 6, 2026. Overall the service was good and the food was exactly what you would expect from a brewery. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you're looking for a good time where you can watch a sporting event, enjoy a wide selection of beers, and not spend too much money, this spot is definitely for you.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One downside was parking -- I do wish it was a little easier to find a spot nearby. Other than that, it was a solid experience overall. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Typical bar/pub space, big and spacious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Good place to catch a sporting event or get quick food with some beer. Burger was better than expected; even though upon presentation the bun looked too big, it was actually very flavorful, ate every single last bite. Fries were very crispy but were a bit too oily & had a slight freezer burn taste (probably left it in the fryer a little longer to compensate). Fried pickles were good. Cookie skillet was solid and midori sour was just right. Overall service was great. Would stop by again to catch a game if I was in the area. read more

Village Brewing (haha I've always called it Village Brewery) is a multipurpose location in Downtown Somerville that offers local beers as well as a full menu. On my last visit, I ordered the 8 piece tavern wings (4 with maple brown butter/ 4 with bourbon bbq) which were pretty good, paired it with a glass of prosecco. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was there for a quick meet up with the girls, but they do also host a lot of large private events.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They recently had a 2 floor Halloween party which was free to attend. I wasn't able to make it; however, I look forward to keeping up with any future events on their calendar. read more

Public paid parking in lots or meter street parking We just came here for drinks. I got the paper plane which was delicious, not too strong but hit the spot. My husband got the flight which included four beers and my cousin got the saison beer. Both enjoyed theirs. My daughters got the kids vanilla ice cream which was in a bowl and included a sugar cone topped with chocolate syrup -- it was a great size for $6! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I do love the space, we came on a Sunday so it was busy around the bar area because of the eagles game.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were still able to watch where we sat in the dining area. Our server was very sweet too! We will be back! read more

Great spot, service, and beer! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of seating and multiple drafts.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Convenient location with street parking.

I was in town a few weeks ago and had lunch. Very impressed with this place. Food was good, beer was fresh. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Large screen TV's at center of bar to enjoy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm deducting one star because of the poor parking situation in Somerville (I received a parking ticket). read more

Came here for a spontaneous mom's night out last weekend. After dinner, we wandered into the Village Brewery for a few after dinner drinks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Even though we are old, we found our way to the downstairs club style area and I was pleasantly surprised to see it wasn't packed and the music wasn't crazy loud![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The downstairs is definitely more appropriate for college aged students, whereas adults like ourselves (late 30s) would probably enjoy the upstairs area better.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Somehow, we actually lasted a good hour and the only down side was the drink selection was limited (a few craft beers and some spirits). I enjoyed the IPA I had. read more

Village Brewing offers a fantastic experience, especially during happy hour. Their deals are hard to beat, and the spacious location provides plenty of room for groups or a relaxed outing. I came for an after work happy hour and it was a great team bonding. The happy hour pricing really is fantastic. I enjoyed the big pretzel for $7 and the beer cheese was absolutely fantastic and delicious. I ordered the I know a guy IPA which was pretty good nice and subtle and a lighter beer for sure. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is inviting, and the service is solid.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only downside is parking. it's either street parking, which can be tricky, or a paid lot. Still, it's worth the minor hassle for the great drinks and vibe. read more

Good beer and good junk food are what you expect at bar set up and that's what Village Brewing offered Was a random walk in to have a light meal . Fish & Chips and Charred Broccolini was our pick from the menu . Well seasoned , fried light airy Cod with side of crispy fried coleslaw n tartar sauce tasted classic . I loved that they had a vegetable side like broccolini that was prepared perfectly , well seasoned with garlic and olive oil . Overall this place surprised me with their food while the service and ambience was equally amazing. read more

We loved their variety of ambers and stouts. The nachos we had were pretty mid, maybe because we came by after the lunch rush on a weekend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Solid vibes for large groups or corporate events[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Walked into the bar area the two bar tenders just kept on talking to each other and ignored me for 15 minutes [[HIGHLIGHT]]I guess this is a trendy place and has to much business that they do not need my my penny[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Stopped in there last week for lunch and was pleasantly surprised by not only how good the beer was but the food as well. But first the beer. I'm a sucker for a light wheat beer. The problem is that most micro breweries opt for IPAs or Double IPAs or anything IPA and ignore anything else. They had a banana wheat that was literally epic. Light and refreshing, especially on a 95 degree day. Being a Friday afternoon, they were pretty empty but I can see them getting jammed at nights. The place is enormous, decorated well and immaculately clean with a massive bar. Service and food were also excellent. If you're ever in the Somerville area and craving some good food and delicious beer, pay them a visit. You'll be more than pleased. read more

Nice place! I love the open concept and the beer menu is nice! We didn't eat, but all of the food we saw at ehe tables looked great! We had: - Hazelnut Espresso Martini for my gf(It tasted so good) - Imperial Court IPA for me(Delish) The bartender was nice and made a good drink. I appreciate places like this even though they are much more different than your average local brewery it still has its appeal. Thank again for the great drinks and service. See you again when I am back in town. Cheers :) read more

We've been here a couple of times before (using the outdoor space),but last night stood out in terms of how caring and understanding the staff was,to let us sit inside with our pup after it had rained heavily outside and we had just evacuated our home due to fire alarms going off. We were so appreciative of this place being open so late (~10pm), had really quick service (ordered a couple of their seasonal iPAs and fried onion rings) and an overall pleasant stay. Thank you to the wonderful staff of the brewery for making us feel like at home-we will definitely be back! read more

I only ever come here for trivia on Tuesday nights with friends. The staff is friendly but very slow, especially on trivia nights when they're busy. It's a great place for the vibes, but their drinks and food are overall...average. I've tried their wing sampler (buffalo, garlic parmesan, and sweet chili), truffle parmesan fries, the smokehouse burger, and nutella pretzel bites. I haven't had a standout "negative" experience here, but their food is nothing to write home about and it's extremely overpriced. Parking: Main Street is metered parking until 7 pm and free parking on Sundays. If you're into trivia, I highly recommend 22 West in Bound Brook! They do trivia at 7:30 pm on Wednesdays and their food is WAY better. read more

I came here at the behest of my old friend, who had some errands to do, and needed a sounding board, as he usually does for his multiple personal concerns (he's a supreme narcissist, which he's admitted), My role as a sounding board (sounding bored?) usually consists of me replying, "Uh-huh," "Uh-uh", "Nope," "Really?" "You did something stupid like that...why?" "Holy shite!" As we've known each other since our teenage years, I'm used to the dynamics of the friendship, and...at the very least...it's company. (At the very best, he has an essentially good heart, we sometimes have fun, and he will occasionally listen to 1 or 2 of my problems if pressed.) After venturing into Raritan (1 restaurant we considered was packed to the gills with servicemen and the restaurant itself had a weird smell to it), and then back out of Raritan, he headed over to Somerville and suggested Village Brewing Co. on Main St. Eleven years ago, this would have presented a problem, as he would have invariably gotten annihilated on booze and whatever he might have been carrying around with him. However, he's 11 years sober now, and we've been in a myriad of places since then that served liquor, and he's never indulged, so I felt pretty secure, and agreed to his suggestion. Inside, the restaurant is large and roomy, not particularly bright, but there's enough illumination to see what's going on around you, or what's being presented to you on your plate. There are enormous vats of beer visible through a plate glass window off to the side, with blue and red lights reflecting off of them. Although booze is obviously paramount to the operation of this establishment, the restaurant itself seemed to attract families and groups there to dine, not drink. Bathroom was clean and functional. Service was friendly and efficient. As always, I don't remember what my friend ordered, but I had a Coke (or maybe it was a Pepsi) and a bowl of the tomato bisque, which was tasty and satisfying. I ordered the Kielbasa and Pierogies, accompanied by caramelized onions and sauerkraut. I'm committed to the diet I've imposed on myself, and no longer need a lot of food in order to satisfy myself at mealtime (where I work, people gain a tremendous amount of weight I've noticed solely due to "stress eating."), but I thought the portions presented on the plate...while not meager...weren't exactly abundant, especially given the prices, which weren't excessive but were pretty steep. The kielbasa was flavorful, but way too salty. The pierogies were filled with potato, which I'm usually not a big fan of (I prefer cheese pierogies) but I will say that these were light and fluffy, even after I dabbed them with sour cream, and didn't sit in my stomach like a brick, as potato pierogies have tended to do in the past. Given the amount of weight I've been able to lose (26 pounds in a few months), I allowed myself the treat of 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream. Hello, old friend! It was creamy and delicious, maybe even more so because of my self-imposed privation. For me, the soup and the ice cream were the best parts of the meal, although I enjoyed the pierogies. And I think I would have enjoyed the kielbasa, had it been less salty and had there been more of it. Nothing here is cheap, but it's not prohibitively expensive either. I thought the food was decent overall. And it's a pleasant, friendly environment. Recommended. read more

Tina's take 8/10 The food was very good. There was a large selection on beers on tap which had intriguing names. Service was great as well. It looked like they were setting up for Karaoke but we didn't stay for the event. The chicken sandwich was very good totally recommend. read more

The service is always good as the workers try hard. The food is hit or miss. Sometimes it's good. Sometimes Not so much. The presentation is always good but I have had cold or soggy fries with my burger. My biggest complaint is I bought one of their vip memberships. It was supposed to be a percentage off that I never get. It came with 4 growlers of beer and every time I ask for one they are out of growlers. The place does get crowded and the atmosphere is nice. read more

The wings at Village are consistently delicious and what I believe to be the best in the area. They're decently sized, crispy and extremely flavorful. The sweet Thai chili are my favorite but we also got garlic parm which were good as well. The truffle fries were also pretty good. They were very crispy and had a drizzle of truffle oil on them so you definitely got that flavor in every bite. **The only reason for taking 1 star off is because of not having happy hour. Their website states that they have happy hour from 4-6. We were looking forward to getting a few items we've gotten off this menu previously. We arrived at 4:30 on Friday and our server told us that they "took happy hour away for a little while". We were disappointed and they should take this off their website if they're not offering it. read more

Came here to watch college football and had a good time sitting at the bar. Beer, bartenders, and atmosphere was good. The appetizers were not good at all. We got the nachos and the pretzels.

Every time I've come here I've been blown away by the drinks but a little less impressed by the food. In complete honesty, the food was never amazing and felt very lacking until I went to Village Brewing today and I was absolutely stunned! The menu was completely revamped and updated, to offer many more interesting and differentiated meal options. I enjoyed an espresso martini (very delicious), and the big pretzel, with honey mustard and beer cheese dip, which were absolutely divine. My friend (who always comes here with me) was also blown away by the quality of her fried chicken sandwich. In summary, we're very pleased with what seems to be the new and improved Village Brewing Company! Also, without fail, staff is always ABSOLUTELY super friendly and easy to get along with. I cannot stress this enough- I have never had an unfriendly server. read more

My friends and I came on a Tuesday night around 9 pm for drinks and alight snack. We parked a couple minute walk away for free. They shared the spinach and artichoke dip and we got the cookies and cream and half baked apple pie spiked milkshakes. The milkshakes were amazing and we couldn't taste the alcohol at all. The place was pretty lively since it was trivia night, but otherwise the surrounding area was pretty dead. read more
