Alewife - The Brewpub

A true neighbourhood “local”. Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, very extensive beer selection. Bingo night is lots of fun!

Difficult to get to outside of Manhattan but totally worth the trip. The food is delicious and the menu is changed seasonally. I've yet to be disappointed by anything their chefs create. The beer and cider menu is extensive and include GF options as well as cans and bottles. I recommend getting a flight so you can try their house made brews as well as some of the craft brew industry favorites.

Good variety different local and specialty brews. Consider this both a microbrewery and a restaurant. The food here is quite good, just keep in mind it's bar food. The service is ok. Nothing spectacular. This place is surprisingly a great sports bar and it's a top pick for me for Sunday football

Decent food, good beer tap list, lots of screens. This is definitely a classic sports bar with a good list of beers on tap. Most of them are local beers, which is great to try flights of. Food was hit or miss depending on what folks got. Some of the chicken was very chewy and felt partially frozen. Service was also rather slow and had to frequently call o er our wait staff to get another rounds of beers / order food.

Not impressed with their selection of their own beers or with the quality of the beers of theirs that we tried. If this was only a brewery showcasing it's own beers, I would give it 3 stars. Fortunately, they have a well-curated selection of other beers including some truly outstanding brews. They also offer food, which is a definite plus. The venue and decor is neither fine nor cool/hip. It's more along the lines of a college hangout. Whether that's good or bad depends on what you're looking for.
