8th Wonder Brewery

Super friendly service very affordable well worth the money but!!! Lol I understand that beer should be served technically at a certain temperature, The issue is that in Houston in 100° heat the beer should be ice cold and they serve their beer too warm.
Understand when you go there you will not get an ice cold beer you will get a properly temperature controlled beer for the type of beer that it is.
Try turning the cooler down for the summer and serving the right temperature when it hits about 75! Lol
Also the chef at Eastie Boys needs to relax. Waaaay to high strung and political. Deserved a beating last night for being an obnoxious prick.

Just trust me when I tell you this place is amazing. Don’t think of it just as a typical brewery, more like a chill place to go have some amazing beers and enjoy some company with friends.
15 bucks will get you a pint glass (that you get to keep) and the most delicious beer (or Kambucha) that you can get for 5 bucks each.
Space for dogs to run around, kids to play, and even two frisbee golf holes. Corn Hole for two and the other game with pink/​blue balls.
If you get hungry have a pizza delivered or go to the food truck for some waffle fries or wings. The food isn’t the best, but it is super convenient.
BOTTOM LINE:
If you want to go have a beer and it’s a great day outside, just get over to 8^th wonder ASAP. One of the best places to be if you’re in EaDo.

Great atmosphere, good beer but NO AC. I was sweating my pelotas off. No wait time on service but Texas breweries apparently have a method of selling glasses and 3 drinks for a flat rate. I have never seen this but apparently it is profitable. Plus bartenders don’t waste time charging customers.
They however need to invest on AC inside. It was hotter inside than outside WITH air. Kudos on your beer, coming from a Colorado resident but dudes! Buy air conditioning, Houston’s humidity can really kick your butt!

I haven’t been here in a while but they have definitely expanded since then. They have opened up the interior a lot more (used to be much smaller). Outdoor area is much bigger now and has lots of tables and even a really cool see saw table! The beers are great as always (I always recommend the rocket fuel — Vietnamese coffee porter). Price is pretty good for a brewery. They also have a food truck in the outdoor area.

OK Beer to my taste. Their Hopston is too bitter for me, but Intellectuale is good. I like the space and the ambiance. Loved the see-​saw! The big disappointment last week was @eatsieboys’s Horrible Cuban sandwich interpretation. The spice is SO much that it numbed my palate. What a missed opportunity. Never again. Beer, probably.

I enjoy a good craft beer and 8^th Wonder hit the spot! They have a limited selection of all year round brews in addition to their seasonal. They also have Kombucha Tea for the non-​beer drinkers. There is also the Eatsie Boys food truck on the premises if you’re hungry. They do allow outside food and non-​alcoholic beverages and there is PLENTY of seating both inside the brewery and and outside. There are also several outdoor games to partake in while you’re enjoying your beer. I tried the Rocket Fuel (Vietnamese Coffee Porter), Coffee & Cream (coffee porter + cream ale), and for my light beer I tried the One Day IPA. All were excellent, but beware the Rocket Fuel if you’re lactose intolerant because it does contain lactose. It’s also definitely worth it to do the $ 15 so you can get 3 beer tokens plus the souvenir glass.

I can’t say enough amazing things about this place!
They have renovated about three times, so just when you think you know what to expect… CHANGE UP!
Location: PHENOMENAL! I love going to Dynamo games and it’s located very close! Not to mention RIGHT on the edge of downtown so still easy to get to!
Beer: They have a lot of variety! I’m a big Pale Ale and IPA fan… All delicious!
$ 15 gets you an 8^th Wonder pint glass and 3 tokens. $ 10 gets you three more! BAM!
Food: They have a food trailer in back & you used to be able to bring your own food… I believe it’s the same!
Environment: Ladies & Gentlemen… THIS IS HOUSTON! In the summer it’s gonna be scalding… So whip out those shorts and flip flops and come to chill.
There are two private rooms inside that you can rent… $ 100/​HR plus beer (several options) these have AC but keep in mind it is mostly pushed air here!
Outside is truly wonderful… Way more spacious than Karbach… Which tends to get claustrophobic.
There are adult see saws… I REPEAT, ADULT SEE SAWS.
No worries guys, there’s a lot of shaded are outside too! They converted containers into hip little sun hideaways!
BRING THOSE PUPS!

Such a cool local brewery that boasts of Htown pride! We heard that the Vietnamese Coffee Beer (Nitro) was delicious, so we couldn’t wait to try it. It’s not something I’d chug down, but definitely has a strong and bold coffee flavor.
The outdoor area is pretty cool — check out the see saw! Lots of seating available and Eatsie Boys food truck was there as well.
Only downside was that the indoor area has no A/​C, but was only cooled off by large industrial fans. But being a native Houstonian, it’s something I’m kinda used to by now.
Will return to finish our tokens.

After an extremely long 4 day road trip from New Jersey to Houston to visit my cousin, including sliding off the road into the bayou passing through New Orleans, 8^th wonder was like the oasis after a long trek through the desert. As an avid craft beer fan, of course the quality of the beer is most important, but I’ll get to that because the atmosphere of this place is killer.
The neighborhood has a very industrial feel to it, but I’m used to that as many of my favorite spots are either in Brooklyn or Philly. The brewery itself is located in a huge open air warehouse that has a lot of sweet Houston sports team themed artwork inside, including some seats that were previously used in the astrodome.
We chose to do the $ 15 deal where you get 3 pints and then get to keep your pint glass at the end. A really good value I thought. The bartenders were super friendly and were willing to give us details on all of their beers and I really enjoyed the Rocketfuel Porter even though I’m typically more of a hop head.
The outdoor seating was the coolest part, with seating areas made out of shipping containers to block the crazy hot sun and a resident food truck by the Eatsie Boys (food looked good… Regret not getting anything). Apparently they host yoga classes at the brewery too and the price of admission gets you a couple brews after the sessions which is pretty cool. I’m not into yoga, but would consider it a welcome excuse to go to have some more of their beers.
Overall, had a great time, and left having had a really great experience. Will definitely come back next time I come out to visit my cousin.

BY far, one of my favorite local breweries in Houston. Its located in EaDo which is the perfect spot pre– Astros or Dynamo game and walking distance from other bars in the area. Unlike some other local breweries, there is PLENTY of space. There’s a nice indoor area, with rooms available to rent for events, and a GIANT outdoor area. The Eastsie Boys truck out back is awesome and was the best surprise! I didn’t think I’d eat their food again after the Montrose restaurant closed.
Cornhole, See-​saw, other lawn games, seats from inside the Astrodome and other memorabilia (8^th wonder… astrodome… get it??)These are all awesome things you’ll find at 8^th Wonder. The beer is cleverly named with an Astros/​Astrodome theme (Dome Faux’m, Rocket Fuel, Alternate Universe) This will definitely be my pre-​Astros game spot this season!

ookay, beers are great, but TWO major things, okay more like three, no A/​C, no tours for the next couple mths even though they still advertise on their website (lure!) and they are still expanding. what I did not realize the eatsie boyz actually started this brewery, we had the fries with skirt steak HOLY^&^% trying not to cuss but they were out of this world! Their pickle chips were absolutely amazing too. They are doing it right, very very impressed, was more impressed with the food then beer. Cannot wait til they expand. Dog friendly but it was just too hot today.

This is the right way to do a brewery tap room.
Very cool indoor/​outdoor space. Ample enough to not feel crowded.
Gotta love that they’re willing to have fun with their brew. Example: coffee and cream (mix of stout and cream).
The food truck in the back is a win. Nothing like greasy food to make the beer taste better.
Have a go at the corn hole. They also have frisbee golf.
Close to the stadiums, so also seems to be a good pregame option.

I really liked this craft brewery. I was surprised that there are not more of these in Houston. This one is taking advantage of cheap land in Eado, with a huge brewpub, large outdoor courtyard with bocce, and plenty of parking.
We met some really nice locals that lived in the area, and the beers were great. As others have noted, you buy tokens, either 1 or 3. You get a pint glass with the purchase of three, which I bought so I could drink out of a glass, but left the glass behind. I’d rather pay less and not have to buy the glass.
This place should do really well since they are at the midpoint of 3 stadiums. And — more than enough styles of beer for everyone.

8^th Wonder is located just east of downtown in an area not ventured by many, but for good reason. It’s a tad bit sketchy on that side of town, but the area is undergoing some serious gentrification, and a lot of the cars parked at this brewery range anywhere from Audis, to Beamers, to your typical F-​150s, and they all seem to leave the lot in one piece. So in spite of the shady characters wandering these desolate streets, rest assured, you should definitely be safe during the daytime. Can’t speak for the nighttime over here, though. (PS– Sorry to all my English teachers ever for starting my first sentence with a number.)
Now that we’ve got safety out of the way… this place is awesome. They do follow the tried-​and-​true formula of Houston breweries, but they do it well. It goes something like:
–Big warehouse interior
–Large, awesome patio exterior with corn holes (a staple!)
-$ 15 for 3 beers and a large, awesome 20oz+ glass
–Awesome, friendly, kind staff
–Lots of seating
Pros: They’ve got a stage for live bands. Heck yeah! To make matters better, the pours are GENEROUS. Like, SERIOUSLY generous. Some of the other breweries here will consistently fill you up anywhere between 60%-75%, never more, never less. Even if it’s the same pourer you know by name and see every. single. weekend. The guys at 8^th Wonder fill that baby up all the way to the top. AND, the beer glasses that you get to take home with you are the largest I’ve seen by far. Rest assured, you can leave here knowing you weren’t ripped off, at the very least! Oh, and I guess I forgot to mention their beers are top-​quality and on-​par with the competition. :)
Cons: They don’t keep a large selection of beers on tap, so they typically only have around 4 beers available. With only 3 tokens, your options can be pretty limited, and even more limited if you only like specific types of brews. And, despite their large seating area, they seem to run out of seating extremely fast, especially on Saturday afternoons. It’s a good problem to have, but expect to be standing until seats open up during the weekends.
I’m gonna stop writing now in hopes that you make plans to visit here ASAP. If you have the slightest inclination towards craft beer, check this place out – if not for the good (and Astro/​sports-​themed!) vibes and great people alone.

Coming from one of the top craft beer cities in the U.S., I find the token system in Houston to be annoying at best. It’s awkward, and it’s time for the city to put on its big boy pants and let the breweries sell beer.
That being said, I cannot fault the breweries for the ridiculous environment in which they exist. They have to function within the law, and I understand that. So once I got over the shock of being prohibited from buying a beer at a brewery, I settled back, enjoyed my coin-​traded beer and the cool breeze flowing thru the warehouse. Then I dipped over to what appeared to be a private party room that was lined with what I assume are seats from the old Astrodome. Slick concept.
I sampled the INTELLECTUALE — Witty Blonde and the ALTERNATE UNIVERSE — Altbier. Both very good, not sure which I liked better. I wanted to try more, but the guardian of the register wasn’t happy about me paying her with Sacagawea Golden Dollars. At first, she even refused. I had to actually get the damn manager. lol absurd.
Anywho, despite my gripes, I really liked the place and would return if I find myself in Houston again.

While 8^th Wonder isn’t in a particularly hoppin’ (punintended) part of town, there’s nothing like a huge, open space to grab some beers with your clique and just… chill.
I like the system of redeeming tokens for a pint of beer — it’s like Chuck E. Cheese’s, but instead of a cheap toy you could have paid for WAY less on Amazon or eBay (it’s the thrill of the fight, I suppose), it’s a refreshing glass of whatever the heck you like. Or whatever you want to try!
* $ 15 for pint glass (that you keep) + 3 tokens.
* $ 10 for plastic cup (or refilling your 8W pint glass) + 3 tokens.
* $ 4 for 1 token.
I personally prefer lighter beers, so the Dome Faux’m (cream ale) and Intellectuale (blonde-​Belgian-​wit) were right up my alley. Though there are 5 staple beers, 8^th Wonder does have an «Imagin8ion» series of seasonal, specialty, and limited batch beers — so definitely ask the bartender what all is on tap.
Gotta love a company that prides itself on being thematically Houston at its core — the good beer certainly doesn’t hurt, either.

8^th Wonder is definitely up there with Houston’s best breweries!
Pros:
1. The beer. Big selection — and I have liked or loved most of the beers I’ve tried! Such a variety — Throwback cream ale (Dome Faux’m), Vietnamese Coffee Porter (Rocket Fuel), IPA (Hopston), Altbier (Alternate Universe), Witty Blonde (Intellectuale), and a bunch of temporary brews that are always changing (while we were there last weekend: a stout, an Abbey style Dubbel, a dry hopped cream ale, a saison, and more). My personal favorites are Astroturf (the dry hopped cream ale), Intellectuale, and Dome Faux’m, but I prefer lighter, hoppy beers (I know a lot of people who are fans of their porters and stouts as well).
2. The beer garden. TONS of outdoor space. Lights hanging outside, tons of tables, room for games (cornhole), etc. Tons of space! (There’s inside space as well, but it’s a bit more tight and fairly loud — I’d definitely prefer to be outside unless it was too hot or pouring.
3. The food trucks. Usually a few food trucks outside where you can grab a bite to eat while you hang out for HOURS at the brewery!
4. The décor and merchandise! 8^th Wonder LOVES Houston. It’s covered in Houston-​related things, including pictures of the Astrodome (nicknamed the «Eighth Wonder of the World»). The beer tokens are even Houston-​related and really cute. And I LOVE my 8^th Wonder t-​shirt (Superwoman carrying a keg)!
5. The prices. $ 15 gets you 3 beer tokens and a 16 oz souvenir glass. $ 10: 3 beer tokens and a 12 oz plastic cup (or bring your own 8W glass). $ 4 per token.
6. It’s open 7 days a week. Make sure they’re not closed if you plan to go on a holiday though!
Cons: I don’t have many. I guess it can get pretty crowded and the lines for beer can get pretty long! Parking can be tough and a little sketchy — it’s not always clear in EaDo whether something that looks like a parking spot is actually a parking spot! That’s about it!
Such a fun place! Can’t wait to go back!

Friends had been inviting me here for a while and I finally had a free hour to join them. Starting at 3pm they have a deal for $ 15. You get a souvenir glass and 3 tokens good for a beer each. I thought it was a pretty good deal, but were the beers up to par?
I started with the Rocket Fuel Nitro since I am a Guinness drinker and not much on light beers. This was pretty good. Not quite as «chocolaty» as a Guinness but had a nice rich but smooth flavor. If you like dark beers this is one to try. Definitely Café Sua Da in a pint glass. I would get this again for sure.
Next I had the Mission Control. This was good but I think I preferred the Rocket Fuel. Another one to try if you like dark beer. I could only handle three (I’m a super light weight) so I got another Rocket Fuel Nitro as my third.
My friends told me they had just remodeled the place a couple weeks ago. To me it was a very nice open area inside and a gigantic outside area in the back with sitting areas, bocce ball, cornhole, and a disc golf area.
I would definitley go back to try something else since it wasn’t packed at all, maybe bc we went so early, but it was also very nice and clean.

Totally love this brewery!
My fiancé and I always stop by here when in the area.
The vibe is warehouse style with big open doors. There is no central a/​c running, but a huge blowing fan in the back area that keeps the place pretty cool.
We always are lucky enough to get the big love seat right by the fan which makes the experience so much better!
I love all their beers. especially the dome fauxm and the rocket fuel on nitro.
The service is always on point and there’s always an awesome food truck outside.
One of my preferred breweries in the Htown.
