Trek Brewing Company

Stopped in on Sunday. Not particularly busy, but a very large space. We sat at the bar and had good conversation with another couple. We didn't eat, but did get a bag of snack mix which hit the spot. Good brew. Others around got food which looked good will have to go back to sample.

This place has a sports bar-ish feel to it and kind of seems like an old outback steakhouse, but they brew their own beer and it's owned by a young local couple. They have pretty good bar food, and the staff were all fun and friendly. I had the fried pickles, which were pretty solid, though I like fried spears better than fried chips. My friend said his burger hit the spot.There is a nice little patio outside with a few tables that gets good sun.To the right when you walk in there is a larger room that seemed like it was hosting an event, so that might be an option there too.

Atmosphere was welcoming. Music rockin. TV screens everywhere. John, the owner was working, he greeted us and showed us how to use QR code. We had riesling wine and an ipa beer. Both delicious! Food was so yummy. Sliders with an appetizer was perfect size. We are looking forwaes to returning soon.

This was are fourth stop of the night on the ale trail. The area is really large and can accommodate a ton of people. Lots of screens around with a ton of sports. The beers were all really good and the prices were nice on those. There is a full menu with burgers, tacos, and apps. I was a bit surprised when the apps came out - the onion rings were $4 (not bad), but the four quarter size mini tacos were $6.50! It was a little crazy since the inside was cold and it was 80% dough. I would come back to try the burger but the apps would be a pass.

I FINALLY made it out to Trek. It's been far enough out of the way that it wasn't a high priority to visit!...and what a let down.Let's start with some basics before I go into it:- big open seating areas, a nice patio- they're on top of the cleaning/masksThe service was good! It was two ladies behind the bar, and one dude handling the food from the kitchen (well, he was outside the kitchen door, there could've been fifty people in there, I don't know).The highlights: not the beer. The burger sliders and fries were tasty, and definitely what I wanted. The mozzarella sticks were not - they were bland, essentially "string cheese with a crunch." Just... meh. So stick with sliders and fries.The beer was... just okay. Nothing to write home about, nothing I can even recall to say "you must try this beer" - it was all just... standard. So - if you're in the area, it makes sense if this is your place to go. I love local bars/breweries! But for a place to travel to, there is not a whole lot here to convince me to make the trip again.By no means is their beer bad - and if I see it on tap, I may try it again to see if it's improved/changed, but at the moment, it's low on my "Columbus area breweries" totem pole.

Another brewery that never experiments with other types of beers/flavors. Always the same old ones on tap, and not really thrilling at all.Sitting in the brewery is like sitting on the playground of an elementary school.So if you enjoy children running around, yelling, throwing things while drinking boring at best beer, then this place you'll love.I'll check back in a year to see if it's gotten better, but it hasn't yet.

Trek is another Newark brewery. It's on the west side of the city. Just off of Route 16 after Granville. It's in a former location of Damon's. There's plenty of indoor seating. I didn't know about this brewery. It popped up when looking for breweries. Three Tigers is what we were looking for, so we also found this. It appears to be pretty new. They have a pretty small draft list of beers they made on site. It's in a former Damon's, so it has a few sections that are separated from each other. The front entrance takes you to a lobby, and then you have to go through an opening to get to the bar, or you can go to the dining room. I had the Solo Hike IPA. It's about $5 for a pint. This isn't extremely hoppy like a lot of IPAs can be sometimes. If you like breweries you should visit if you're around. It's not one of the better ones honestly. They are still a newer one so they may just need more time.

The Food was amazing and the bartender Raul fantastic! They helped us with the simulator and we had so much fun.

We have visited a few times with a small group and large group and the staff are always quick to turnaround drink and food orders. I've had several menu items and all are really good especially the burgers! There are several types of beer and other beverages to choose from. The staff and owners are super friendly and very accommodating! This is a great place for families and is kid friendly!

I have found my new favorite burger joint. Service was friendly. Food was DELICIOUS!!! Price for value was unbeatable!!Ordered 2 classic cheeseburgers, baby blue burger, fries, tots, and cheesesticks. Everything was cooked perfectly.
