It was Winter time so maybe that contributed to the vibes. We grabbed a couple of beers while waiting on our reservations at a restaurant nearby. Beers were good but I probably wouldn't repeat. We honestly thought the place was closed. It felt like a rustic cabin inside. The temperature was the same as outside. read more

Waverly Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Waverly Brewing is definitely a hole in the wall. They have plenty of games and both indoor and outdoor seating. They are also dog-friendly both inside and outside! While they do not serve food, they do allow you to bring outside food in. Our bartender, Melissa, was incredibly kind and welcoming. The had a Kentucky Red Ale made of 40 different locally grown mushrooms, which I thought was interesting. I had their Pumpkin Ale, which I was told was made from real pumpkin and not squash like most other breweries do. They also had Sierra Nevada IPA at the time as well. When I had visited, they were short of beer selection due to some main private events that they were hosting. I would like to come back and try their other beers in the future. They also do not have a private parking lot, or at least I could not find one. read more

The brewery is comfortable, and Melissa instantly made us feel right at home. Both beers we had were fantastic! Great local joint!

A really funky little place with great service! Their bartender was telling me they scaled back their hours after Covid and now operate as a "day bar" - went on a Saturday and their last call was at 5:30. I really enjoyed the oyster stout. Will be back! read more

I'm not much for beer, but everything I've tried from Waverly has been fantastic! The brewery itself has a great atmosphere, welcoming vibe, friendly staff, and is a great place to hang out with friends! read more

Great brewery and with the sweetest owner!! Hosted our group and we really enjoyed ourselves

Tucked away, Waverly brewing is a great spot to close out the night if you're in the Hampden area. The staff here are so friendly and knowledgeable if you're being undecisive about which beer to get! They have fun decor inside and tons of board games! We had a blast playing battleship and connect four!! The space is big so it can accommodate anywhere from 2 to a group of 10 people. They also have plenty of parking in the area. I will advise for those that are not as familiar with the area, it can appear to seem sketchy in the evening, but the area is not at all bad. read more

Beer was decent but the priciest in that general area with plenty of other brewery options. Location is dark and a little dreary. read more

Best beer in Baltimore! Amazing people, great live music!! Atmosphere is so so so awesome!!! Come for the drinks, stay for the people!!

This place is amazing!! Great atmosphere and craft beers. My favorite beer is No Kings.

Fantastic Baltimore Brewery! Great beer, chill vibes, friendly outgoing staff. Tell Melissa I sent you! They have a Honky Tonk gathering once or twice a month, other live music, a variety of food trucks. STOP ON IN! read more

Hampden has a few breweries, but I really like Waverly! It's tucked away in the edges of Hampden, so it's cozy and yet not as crowded as some of the others. Their beers are great. Their service is great! They have some inside seating but more outside seating. It's the kind of place I like to go with friends; it's fun to hang out here. Not too loud, not too crowded - a great neighborhood brewery. If you're looking for a beer in Hampden, think of Waverly Brewing! read more

What a great little spot! On a warm day we started with a beer sampler (4 options) to taste a variety of beers and then settled in with a tall one. My favorite beer was a berry-sour, great flavor! The bartenders were all friendly and helpful and the space itself is great. There are two different indoor areas, one at the bar, and one with a more cozy vibe to it. Outside there were several picnic tables, games, and lawn chairs to enjoy. I definitely recommend checking this place out on a sunny day! read more

Waverly Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Incredibly rude and unprofessional. It was actually astonishing. Bartender refused me due to covid, and when I called the manager she said she also refused to serve me unless I paid double. Icing on the cake the young lady who intercepted my bartab with my initial bartender Wes (who was nice) chased me down and told me to "go fuck myself" with no irony Don't come here unless you're prepared for war! Gross experience. read more

My favorite of all the beer halls it's cozy and friendly and it's always a great time. The prices are reasonable and the ambiance is comfortable. Oh and the bathrooms are clean spotless ! read more

I came to the happy hour. A cool place. Simple and fun. The walls are decked with lumber pieces, the bar stools are nothing special. The place is not stuffed with tables and chairs. I feel like there should be a garage door enterance. I am sampling the beers and enjoy the options. From pils to ales to IPAs and porters this place has a few to try and I am gonna grab a corner bar stool and rest my legs. This place is dog friendly and has a nice area for seating. Comfortable and a nice staff. No complaints, can't wait to come back. read more

Cool brewery with a good amount of seating, rustic and hipster decor, cool indie rock and a food vendor right outside. The flight are served in a cool restored piece of carpentry wood. The servers are really cool as well. I ordered a flight of their IPAs and red ale. The beers were good. I really liked their IPAs. They were not gimmicky and very straightforward, which is refreshing these days. The food vendor outside was a traveling brick oven pizza station. It looked really good, but we had dinner plans already. My recommendations would be more bar games (dart boards, etc.) and better board games. But I would definitely come back here. read more

Waverly Brewing - Flight. - Breweries Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

My best friend took me here one day Just me and favoritest bae What else are girlfriends really for Than to say, yes I'm down! We'll go explore Flights of beer ($9) pick any four And if you're looking for something more Like something to fill you to the core A pop-up stall sold subs by the door I enjoy breweries; I'm from the Midwest And on my B'more trip, she showed me the best.

The Dubbel Clutch - Belgian Dubbel Or the Triple Mofo - Belgian Tripel?! Check out the artwork on the walls Exhibits in their gallery are a monthly call Events are posted on their Facebook page (Don't know what FB is, do you live in a cave?) Experimental taps: brewed seasonally Their outdoor patio: set up beautifully My one concern is if I'll be able to find a seat When it gets nice out. Anyway, thanks Waverly read more

They have a great spot for a brewery-off the beaten path, tucked away, ample parking, and space for outdoor games. They have a food truck there for your dining pleasure (not sure if it rotates or if it would always be that one). The inside area had a local bar vibe-complete with an adorable older sassy lady asking out the bartender, telling him he's not a loser haha. It was a delightful first visit, but the beer didn't hold up. The Bubbly IPA tasted flat-the Local Oyster Stout also tasted flat and got warm fast. We actually wondered if there was a keg issue, but didn't want to ask in case that really was just the taste. read more

This is one of my favorite breweries in Baltimore and probably anywhere. Waverly keeps every kind of beer drinker in mind. From people that enjoy exploring bolder flavors to those that like to keep it safe, everyone can enjoy a really nice glass of beer. Love the environment and the service is great as well. read more

Nice neighborhood brewery with great beers, affordable prices, and friendly bartenders. They always have guest taps as well. Nice outdoor seating. No complaints here! read more

This is hands-down my favorite brewery in Hampden. The staff is so friendly and makes everyone feel like a regular, and their beer is always SPOT ON. Can't wait for all the summer vibes at this place. read more

Really fun space. Unexpectedly they had an open mic comedy show going on when we were there on a Sunday. Staff was very friendly and we got to talk to one of the brewers there who was a riot. Really a chill neighborhood bar. The beers are pretty good although going back a few times they tasted a little inconsistent. The golden sombrero is probably their best beer. Crisp and easy drinking but great taste. read more

I'm a bit of a beer snob and this place hit the nail on the head. The decor and ambiance were quite pleasing and there were a good selection of beers. Particularly a 7.7% blackberry sour - it was absolutely delicious and reminded me more of a lambic than a sour. No food on site (not really, a food truck was out front) so you can bring in outside food which is cool. Overall, great experience and I'm looking forward to going back. read more

This place is about to move up to the next level. They are brewing some good beers and two or three outstanding beers. Their best work tends to sell out quickly. I'd guess they will plan to focus increased production on the top styles. They might want to plan for a relocation to coincide with a step up in quality production. But for now, I'd recommend a visit. read more

One of my absolute favorite breweries in the area. The staff is fantastic, love the vibe in the brewery and the outdoor space, and they are taking covid precautions very seriously. I love their simcoexist ipa and their oyster porter! read more

Waverly is the hidden gem of Baltimore breweries. Pros: -Great beer particularly their IPAs and sour beers. For me, the must-try beer is Batty Noh -- I pretty rarely drink lagers, but this one just hits the spot and you get a nice subtle sweetness from the corn. -Fantastic venue AKA the shed. Just a really cool spot to hangout for an afternoon. Large outdoor patio with ample seating and cornhole -Easily accessible and good parking options -- there's only about 5-6 spots at the brewery itself, but a ton more parking under 83 along the Jones Falls. I have also parked in the huge lot across the river and I've never seen any signage saying it's only for certain businesses. -Great crowler and growler prices -Food, kind of -- I'm not sure of the exact details, but it seems like they partnered with a local deli so they have some pre-made sandwiches, salads, and pastas you can buy. Cons: -Food, kind of -- if you don't want a pre-made sandwich, salad, or pasta, you're out of luck. Just go down the street like 1 minute to Birroteca and grab a pie and more good beer. read more

This place was pretty gnarly, and loved trying out the sour they had on tap. Pretty sure it was a Cherry Gose (Sour) and was great, would recommend if you are into that. I'm bummed I am just now visiting this place while the weather is so cold and windy out. Plan on having some cold ones here with friends as soon as it warms up, and love the fact that the interior has areas in the back to chill out and play boardgames. Spotted some people playing Battleship and hopefully next time I come in I can get in on that as well! Give Waverly a try for sure!! read more

This place continues to pump out OUTSTANDING sours. If you are the least bit curious, or consider yourself a purveyor of sour beers, this is hands down best in Baltimore. The place up the road was close with their Fraggle Rock, but seems to have disappeared. read more

Waverly Brewing - Pineapple Goat - Breweries Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

They got me the door for a hot sauce competition. After waiting an hr for it to start, I bailed. Servers we nice enough, but not particularly friendly. Beer was meh for the area. Bar has a nice feeling though. Would probably be a lot more fun if I had come with friends when it was busy, but coming alone and waiting around for something to materialize left me feeling disappointed. read more

Friends and I been coming here every Tuesday for Charm City Trivia night and that has been sooo much fun!! As far as the menu goes, they only serve beers and ciders, but the ciders are really good (I'm not a beer-drinker). While they don't serve food here (except some bags of chips at the bar) customers are allowed to bring their own food/have food delivered. Little but comfortable seating fills up pretty quickly during Trivia Tuesday's. read more

One of my favorite places to try new beer is at Waverly. Every time I go in I end up getting a growler of something. This time, there was a Cherry G'Oat beer I got a growler of that was delicious. It reminded me of the Cherry Gose by Founders but a little more sour and with a slightly lower alcohol content. I am a sucker for sours and goses. Last time I was there I got a growler of a blood orange sour. I had to try not to drink it all at once. The fact the brewery is continuously experimenting with sours and goses along with keeping their quintessential and signature beers at a high quality is nice. I will certainly keep checking back for new beers at Waverly in the future. If you go, bring a growler too. The prices for most of them are more than reasonable. read more

Waverly is a hidden gem (almost literally; we drove around looking for this place). I stopped in during the day time when it was relatively quiet. Their flight is a great way to get introduced to many of their house beers, including their guest taps. My impression of the place is that's low key, and easy to drop in for a beer or two. They have corn holes to play with outside and if you're interested in having an event here, I do think they reserve areas. Or at least they were on a weekday when I visited. Their parking lot was full so we parked under the bridge a minute walk away. read more

Been here several times now. Their hours are great, and their taproom is awesome. Very relaxed feel, interesting "cool" decor, and clean. Staff is always attentive and friendly enough. I would give it a 3.5, though, because their beers are kind of whatever. Which bums me out. I'm not a beer snob, but when Union is right up the road and craft beer is so damn good now, you gotta have more than a few good beers and maybe one outstanding beer. Their beer menu might be too big? I have enjoyed several of their beers, most of them being on the darker end of the spectrum. I would recommend a visit, for sure, and have hopes that they will find their niche when it comes to brewing. read more

We really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere here. We were able to find a spot at the long table in the main room away from the bar (and the commotion) and enjoy some conversation and the snow outside. Much less packed than it's neighbor brewery (Union) across the street but we appreciated it as a place to be able to just sit and enjoy the brews and big points for having their sour on tap when union was out! :) read more

Always a favorite. Haven't been there for probably a year but was back on Thursday night. Love the beer, love the atmosphere and the staff is great. There's something about this place that just makes me smile and relax. Go and enjoy and support one of the originals! read more

Great beers (the isaac haze IPA is brilliant), super friendly staff, and they really went the extra mile to make sure everyone was comfortable and felt safe during their phased re-opening process. You can tell they put a lot of hard work and thought into the outdoor seating arrangements in response to COVID. Was a great night out, all thanks to the staff / management at Waverly -- will definitely be back! read more

So, I like the beer and the events are awesome (Lebowski!!) but the servers- Come on!! Once I came by (with a friend) to order 4 beers for my group (had a friend to help carry) and the bartender was snarky about his ability to handle an order of more than 3 beers. The amount of time it took to negotiate the transaction was far more complicated than just having him ask me to remind him what I'd ordered. At the end of the evening and after spending about $90 for my birthday group, I asked for 2 waters as I closed my tab. Instead I was instructed on where to find the water cooler. Got it- I can get my own water from the Gatorade cooler but after $90 on a mediocre beer tab just be cool and hand me a glass of water without the attitude geez... read more

This is my favorite brewery!! The inside space is trendy and nice, with comfortable couches and boots for groups of friends to hang out. I am a pretty picky beer drinker and like over five beers they offer, which is very rare. My favorite is Golden Sombrero. The bartenders are friendly and speedy. I love doing the tasting and trying a variety of types. I would love to go when it's warmer to play games outside and enjoy the food truck. If you want to make a day of it, Union is around the corner but closes early so head there first. read more

After a relatively disappoint venture out to Union, Nina and I were determined to find good beer in the city. I was surprised to see there was another brewery basically within walking distance. We opted to move the car anyway and found a parking spot on a side street without too much hassle. Waverly has a super cozy, local feel. There weren't very many people inside, so we chose to hang out at the bar. We tried Golden Sombrero, Local Oyster Stout, Triple MoFo, Dubbel Clutch, It's Ginger Not Mary Ann and Summer Freckles. Nina was head-over-heels for their trippel and I loved Summer Freckles. The low key atmosphere was wonderful. This is a place I would enjoy bringing a book to and just vegging out. read more
