Model A Brewing

Model A is the best brewery I have been to in the surrounding area. Their selection, taste, hospitality, and hours are what keep me coming back compared to other breweries and bars nearby. Their beer is always crisp and refreshing- I've never had a beer there that I didn't like but their "All Night Blonde" Ale and Czech Pilsner are what keep me coming back. Since it is brewed in house it is never flat. They also have a small variety of whiskey, wines, hard seltzers, and liquors if beer is not your thing. The food is a nice variety of bar food and they serve everything from salads to tacos to cheese curds. Everything has been delicious and goes down well with a beer. In addition to this, your order comes out QUICK. Service is attentive and quick, especially if you choose to sit at the bar. But even sitting outside in a busy weekend I've never had to wait for another pour or the check. They have indoor seating consisting of bar seating with TVs or table and chairs if you're with a larger group. They also have 2 separate outdoor areas with heaters and they will gladly turn them on for you if you ask. I appreciate their hours being open everyday at 11am and closing very late in the evening. Fort Mill can become very sleepy as far as "night life" goes, so having a relaxing place to go out for a drink on a late weekend night is a huge pro for me. Overall, this is my favorite bar/brewery in the area. The atmosphere, beer, and service will always keep me coming back for more.

We made this a stop on our way from Hartsville to Charlotte. It's a very nice place with plenty of parking. Our server was spot on, she had great knowledge about the beer and made solid recommendations. The food was good and came out in a timely manner. Jared makes great beer and always has a good selection on tap! He had everything from a cream ale to a NEIPA. Ignore the reviews complaining about "hoppy" beers or they didn't have a wheat on tap these are people who know nothing about craft beer and usually drink ultra or some other commercial crap beer.

My wife and I stopped in with our niece and his new bride. We were only visiting for the night and asked them to pick a spot for us to go. They picked a winner! We truly enjoyed their uniquely crafted beers! For our mains, my wife ordered their Caesar salad with chicken and bacon. I ordered potstickers for the table and pork shoulder quesadilla for my main. My wife and I both truly enjoyed our meal and our server. It is in a quasi industrial type setting, but not too loud. If you're looking for some really good crafted beers and an eclectic menu, this is the place. We truly enjoyed it!

Still...this place has some hits and misses for me. Everything about it is ok, but nothing over the top or stand out. I love a spot that has a kids menu - there's something for everyone on their menu. You can't go wrong with a quesadilla, and my kids loved it. Now, my husband got the buffalo chicken version, but I think he got cheese, or they ran out of chicken. It just lacked any kind of buffalo chicken flavor. (We were assured it was the buffalo one). I got the potstickers, and as you can see from the picture, they were cooked a little too long, and lacked flavor. The dipping sauce was good though. The beer was fine - we both got a hazy. Again, nothing that stood out, but a clean, drinkable beer. I know a lot of people rave about this spot, I guess we just come on off nights.

We were making trivia night a thing at Model A, we'd been 4 times and enjoyed it for what it is- bar food and fun, but wow. Last night the service was beyond slow, (understaffed? ok, we can be patient) the was barbecue sub par, flavorless and dry (how do you screw up pulled pork?) and part of our order was wrong. People make mistakes but there were too many last night piled on. The wings were good and the tots were crunchy. Over all--Not worth it. That's the last time we will go there.

We stopped in last week to meet a friend for a bite to eat & a cold bevvie. We were not disappointed. The beer I had had hints of jalapeño and was very good. I ordered the chicken tacos and enjoyed them. Hubs had a burger. Our service was very good. Would definitely recommend!

So I was telling all my co-workers about this place because I had tried a wheat beer at Sweetwater pub and had to get here to have it super fresh.We finally get there and they have no wheat beer.so I order something else which was so so and ordered fried pickles and some nachos,loaded. the pickles were ok, but the nachos where like they were served at Girl Scout camp. Very disappointing.Plus it sits in a busy shopping area. A bit disappointing

Had the pleasure of visiting Model A Brewing 9n a cold rainy Wednesday in December. It is hard to get to, basically had to go around a round about to locate the parking lot which is in an elevated area. It shares space with other businesses, including a virtual golf business.It looks rather new and offers a good selection of spirits, including some nice options for scotch, bourbon, and whiskey. They have a nice selection of beers.I tried the Sappy Camper, a maple dark lager. It was good. Also tried their Saison and Hefeweizen. The later two were just okay. At 5%, they were watery and really just okay. They tasted quite similar, which told me all I needed to know.I was impressed by the overall atmosphere, so I will be returning. Seems like a cool place to meet for drinks, and they have TVs in case someone wants to watch a sporting event.

In all my visits, walked past this place a dozen times but hadn't ventured in. Model A has a lil satellite space over by my Dad's place, at the local pool. Wide variety of tap beers, from seltzer to sour, blondes to Rye IPA... kitchen menu looked good but we didn't eat. QR scan for full menu. Tasting flights were the call of duty- and priced amazingly low. Loved the presentation and cool wood holders with metal plates- magnet affixes your tasting flight info. Knowledgeable staff and my favorite were the tank tops that read "May contain alcohol". Tee's and tanks for sale btw. Patio seating, and I know they have live music on weekends. Can't speak to weeknights- never in town at those times. Ample parking and flight cost $12 (+tax)

Went here with a birthday gift card from my daughter on Dec 30, 2024. Immediately, I was told that 3 of the beers listed were not availiable. No problem; I'll just select some other beers for a 4 beer flight. It took a MINIMUM of 15 minutes to draw four small draft beers. The restaurant was, at best, 1/3 full when we arrived. The bar tender favored anyone sitting at the bar or carryout orders versus filling my order. My French fries arrived cold after waiting a long time for our food to come out from the kitchen. None of this was the server's fault. She works for an establishment that doesn't care about its customers. This place was absolutely the worst place I could have selected to celebrate my birthday with my wife and two grandchildren. Model A does not deserve to have any customers if this is how they treat people.
