What Matt D likes about 2nd Story Brewing Company:
We had a private event at 2nd Story Brewing. This place is really great, with really friendly people. Marianne was a pleasure to work with, and she was very informative on how to have the party. We have been in plenty of times to have some beers, and I have always liked their beers. Good selection of beers and a cool bar set up. The bar has a cool vibe, and the upstairs is great. I really enjoyed coming here for my p... View all feedback. What lauren k doesn't like about 2nd Story Brewing Company:
Had high hopes for this place, but unfortunately we had to leave after our first round because the beer was so bad. If you think it's just the beer we got, it's not. We tried 5 beers and they all tasted skunked. Came for a birthday dinner, and it really ruined the night. If you're looking for a better option than this: A. Bloomsday Cafe B. Literally anywhere else View all feedback.

Some of the best burgers in center city. Also they have fried cheese curds, some of the few you can find in the city. Great place.

Place looked nice overall, plenty of space, and had plenty of board games which is fun. Unfortunately, the beer was terrible. Really terrible.

2nd Story Brewing is a unique dining experience with a cool bar and great atmosphere. While some patrons found the beer and food to be subpar, others enjoyed the variety of beers and delicious dishes. Although the service was hit or miss, the staff was friendly overall. The private event experience was positive, with helpful and informative staff. The bar had a cool vibe and a good selection of beers. The food received mixed reviews, with some dishes being delicious while others fell short. Prices were reasonable and the overall experience was worth a visit, especially for beer enthusiasts.

We were in the area for a few days. It's worth the short walk from independence hall. We liked it so much, went back the second night. Pretzel balls were great...

Burgers, fries, and chicken sandwich are solid, step-above-average American pub food, and the poutine was really tasty.
