Brewsters Brewing Company & Restaurant

Been going to this location for years. I go for wing night every now and then. Its pretty typical for prices and food as far as restaurants go.
The servers are usually pretty solid, I don’t recall any issues. They let me taste test different beers!
Years ago they had domestic and imports as well as their own crafted beers. Unfortunately, now they just have their own crafted brews. I enjoy them but I miss my Keiths!
Tis a great place to go. Especially in the summer, if you can get a patio seat! Summer breeze, good beer and good company!

Great beer, great food, great service! Big thanks to my server Heidi for making me feel comfortable drinking and dining solo!

Service is great.
The food however… its a complete hit or miss. Don’t order the fish and chips you get a half pound of fish and a pound of batter!
like learn how to batter fish. It is pretty simple. Thanks for reading my rant be cautious of what you order…

The wife and I sometimes head here for a fun dinner, and we’ve yet to be really disappointed. Good food. Not super-​fantastic, but really darn good. I’ve yet to have anything I didn’t like. Beer is the same. Darn good. I’m not going to say it’s the absolute best ever or anything, but it’s certainly several notches above the dishwater that passes for beer in many national brands. I definitely have a pint of something each time I’m there. Service has been consistently pretty good, too.
The only thing that makes me scratch my head is that there’s no host/​hostess at the front. I was so incredibly confused the first time I went there, but apparently you just seat yourself. A prominent sign saying so would be quite helpful.
So, yeah, good place, and I’ll definitely be back in the future.

Great drink specials, and huge selection. Food is good but a little expensive in my opinion. Service was pretty good as well.

16 bucks for that? A creative but small summer salad will leave you feeling a bit hungry and unsatisfied. The staff wasn’t all that friendly iether unfortunately. There summer salad contains spinach, grape tomatoes, goat cheese, dried cranberries and a few slivers of avocado. The menu also states apple are in it but mine didn’t have any… The dressing didn’t pair with the salad but it wasn’t bad. Nice venue, big windows and dark wood throughout.

Even though I didn’t order anything here but a diet coke, stole some of my friends orders: P Had the dumpling (ahhh …nothing to highlight here), Brewsters’ coffee… delish! Wings… not good at all… and the sunrise cocktail was OK but unexceptional Good for a big group of friends!

Decent.
That’s the best word for this space.
It’s not horrible, and it’s not great.
I’d go to brewsters if somebody suggested it, but I would never suggest it myself.
It’s not the best price, or the best food, or the best service. But it’s NOT AWFUL.
Brewsters is for Moxies Fans. Solidly mediocre.
So if every other gastro pub in the area is full, I guess you could go to Brewsters. Otherwise, skip it.

A late night visit with an old friend on my last night there, brought us to Brewsters for a sampling of some different beers and a few good laughs.
A very modern style restaurant greets you with plenty of noise, seating and very little light. (and yes, I feel like an old man saying that as a complaint)
We had a very sweet waitress who had great knowledge of the various beers we sampled. Some were not what I was looking for, but most were very delicious. I would love to go back and have a bite to eat sometime soon.

We have a 2 year old son so it was nice to find a «pub» style restaurant that accepts kids.
The beer is great loads to choose from, food wasn’t too bad. The Lamb burger was great and so were the fish tacos but the Bison burger was dry.
All in all it was a nice spot with a «pub» feel, would go again for sure

Normally, I am not a fan of chain restaurants but I give props to this Brewester’s on the west end for trying. First time I’ve been to the west end location even though it is super close to me. Anyways, we came here on a Saturday afternoon after a chill session at the driving range. What better way to enjoy the sunshine than on the patio? My thought exactly.
Anyways, the waitresses are friendly enough but it was weird. We had one waitress originally and then 4 – 5 waitresses came to our tables throughout our meal (with our original waitress disappearing, didn’t see her until we left. Odd — she didn’t even bring us our bill at the end).
For the food, I was surprised by some of their options on the menu. Butter chicken, Vietnamese subs, pad thai??? Very random for bar food. Someone tell me if the know how to cook these dishes…
We were hungry so we ordered:
— Chicken wings appetizer ($ 12) — honey mustard wings (a dozen) along with a few carrot sticks and a beer mustard. My two friends devoured it. Typical wings I believe.
— Chicken strips ($ 16) — chicken fingers (think you get four or five pieces) over a bed of fries (or your choice of salad/​soup). Came with a weird oregano bbq sauce (odd combination) and beer mustard (better).
— Buffalo chicken wrap ($ 16) — chicken wrap with hot sauce, peppercorn ranch, shredded cheese, carrot, arugula, and tomato. My friend wasn’t a fan of the hot sauce (they put a bit too much in it). Also came with side of fries.
— Guacamole bison ($ 15) — blackened Alberta bison patty with guacamole, melted jalapeño havarti, tomato and a dill pickle on top. They cook it with a little pink in the middle so it’s nice and tender. I was impressed. Pretty good burger! Came with side order of fries.
— Raspberry beer ($ 20 for a pitcher) — pretty good. Like how they put fresh raspberries in the pitcher!
Overall, decent spot in the west end if you want to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. You already know what your getting into if your coming here.

So the wife and I decided we needed to go out and grab food. However we did not want our usual choices, so we opted finally check out Brewsters.
I wasn’t sure what to expect and upon arrival, it almost seemed like a «fancy dining» type place. Yet when we moved closer inside we noticed it was casual yet elegant, if that even makes sense? To the right is a lounge/​bar style and to the left was dinner seating.
We were almost immediately greeted by a server and placed in a booth. We were made aware of the specials and not rushed with our orders.
When we were ready to order my wife got the fish and chips while I got the aussie lamb burger. We also opted to go with the beer special of the day and picked up a scooner of Bigfoot Blueberry Wheat Ale.
The ale was amazingly delicious. I am immensely impressed with Brewsters attention to detail and quality in regards to their beers. So many restaurants/​bars do not clean the lines and if they do they rarely clean them. This means the alcohol is not contaminated and gives a hood clean crisp taste. It also was a nice touch that they put actual blueberries into the beer.
When the food arrived we noticed the portions were large and equaled the price we paid. In fact my wife couldn’t even finish her fries. I on the otherhand devoured my burger in record time. It tased amazing and the mint mayo really aided in the flavor. The only negative about my burger was that it had far too much lettuce on it. It was overflowing and spilling out all sides of the burger, almost an inch. I had to eat too much leafy greens before I got to the actual burger.
The server was very nice and polite and attentive to our needs.
This is definitely a 4 – 5 star place to eat. Loved it and will be back to try some more food and drink some more beer… Thinking the Czech Vampire Pilsner next time.

I met a friend for a later lunch on a Friday and the restaurant was busier than I thought it would be at 1PM. The restaurant on the left side when you walk in has booths and tables and chairs in the middle. There are several tvs so you won’t miss the latest game.
The menu has appetizers, sandwiches, burgers, entrees, and salads. My friend was watching his diet to restrict certain foods and the waitresses was helpful to ask the kitchen about options and then came back. It worked that there was something he could eat and enjoy too. I asked the difference between the appetizer size and the entrée size of fish tacos and was told the appetizer didn’t come with a side which worked for me. The 2 tacos had large pieces of avocado and sauce with some zing but not too spicy. I was happy with my choice.
The experience doesn’t deserve a 4 star rating as I found there were some aspects of the visit that could have been improved. If I’m in the area, will be back again.

So I got roped into conducting interviews on my day off, and we ended up with a 2 hour break between applicants. Since all three of us were starving, we decided to head off to Brewsters for lunch.
Also, we wanted to see what the management team finds so appealing about two hour lunches. With beer.
Alas, as we were technically on duty, we skipped the beer. Yes, I declined a beer. No, the world is not ending.
Anyhow, we were seated immediately, and the waitress with the really nice, um… eyes was prompt and attentive. Food arrived quickly, and was pretty damned tasty.
I’d love to give this joint 4 stars, for the waitress with the lovely, um… eyes, if nothing else, but I was a little disappointed with my meal. The soup was fantastic, but the lobster mac and cheese was unimpressive. It tasted great, don’t get me wrong, but I’ve had lobster mac and cheese before, hell, I’ve MADE lobster mac and cheese before, and in my opinion, lobster mac and cheese needs to have lobster in it.
Big, succulent chunks of lobster, not the tiny, nearly unnoticeable shreds that were in this dish. False advertising. Damn shame.
Still, it really was quite tasty. And my friends’ burgers looked amazing, not to mention huge. I would more than likely be back to try one of those.
And also the beer.

I’ve been here a few times and every time I order one of the speciality beers, their out.
I always end up getting the original lager, its still pretty good. I ordered one of the other speciality beers and it was really bitter, unfortunately I don’t remember the name. But what I do remember very well was the fantastic CHEESE BALLS. They are great, melted brie in a mild crunchy batter, with small tasty notes of Jalapeño. I would give 5 stars alone just for these. But unfortunately are server was not overly friendly and didn’t look like she really enjoyed her job much and it showed… So were down to the 3 star, because of the service and being out of beer stock on some of the speciality beers, (especially on a weekend)

They have specials on 7 days a week which unfortunately means, you have good reason to go to Brewster’s 7 days a week.
First, the star of the show here is the beer. It doesn’t matter if you like a smooth lager or a dark stout there is a beer for you. The Hammerhead Red, Shaughnessy Stout, and Flying Frog Lager are standouts but the Hefeweizen isn’t as good as it could be. Ask about the seasonal beer, you won’t regret it most of the time.
Brewster’s isn’t a place for pub food. Sure, it has all the staples like Nachos (which are good and enormous), Burgers, and Fish and Chips. Your burgers are not ordinary burgers, I had the Berliner and it was a bratwurst dream with sauerkraut and bacon. I don’t think I have found anything on the menu, that I haven’t liked. I just wish the Lobster Mac and Cheese was bigger.
A quick note about the décor, Brewster’s underwent a major renovation inside a few months ago and moved it away from a bar look and feel to a restaurant one. It took me a while to get used to the dark wood everywhere, but I barely notice it now.

Went to this Brewster’s a couple of weeks ago to meet a friend who lives in the West End. We were in the restaurant side rather than the lounge side for some reason. The lounge was bumpin’ but there were only a couple of other occupied tables on our side.
Our waitress, Brittany I believe, was really friendly and attentive, checking up on us all the time and chatting with us. She was really great. We ordered nachos to share between three of us and we still couldn’t finish them — they were massive. The beer was good, as usual. I’m biased, I love Brewsters and had a good experience at this one. I wouldn’t expect anything less.

I’m nearly always satisfied with my visits to Brewsters. They, as you might expect, brew their own beer and at least 80% of the beers are great. I like their blueberry ale the most. Their patio is pretty, although located on the street-​side of the building and so can be both loud and hot. The lounge and the restaurant are essentially the same room separated by the bar — thus, the room can be quite loud. Their Thai noodle dish is made with atypical noodles, but it still tastes good. Their War Wonton soup is HUGE and very good. Their servers always look like they’re in pain — why do employers insist on tight clothing and uncomfortable shoes?
I go b/​c it’s in my neighbourhood, and the food is of reliable quality.

I see Brewsters as an upper class sports lounge.
The reason I say that is because they have a lounge/​pub feel but still serve higher end/​quality food.
I like Brewsters for that reason.
The food here is delicious. I don’t even know what to recommend because I haven’t had anything here that I didn’t like.
The servers are great. They, for the most part, seem to enjoy their jobs which is always a refreshing change of pace.
They have so many kind s of beer here that I can’t count them. Well, I probably could but I didn’t feel like it. Sorry. My point is, if you like beer check out Brewsters.
It’s a cool place to hang out and chill while still getting good service, good drinks, and good food.

Brewsters is a restaurant and brewing company. It is known for its selection of handcrafted beers, freshly brewed at the downtown location. There are at least a dozen different kinds of beer. For those wanting the tried and true, other brands are featured on tap and in bottles.
The food is classy albeit a bit pricey. Burgers, seafood, chicken, pizzas, appetizers that are suitable for sharing — portions are generous and there are a few items not commonly found in these sorts of places, such as butter chicken. I tend to go for more standard fare like the chicken strips — five plumo, juicy chicken tenders with fries and a homemade beer and mustard dipping sauce.
There are two parts to Brewsters — the dining room and the pub. Both parts offer table service, although I prefer the pub with its large screen televisions and pool table.
