The Most Scrumptious Breweries in Dallas

Armor Brewing

★★★★☆ 4.1 (167) • $$

"This was my first visit and I lived the vibe and ambiance of this restaurant. They hit on all cylinders with an outside happening area with a soundstage for live music, a fireplace to sit around and an area for kids to be kids. The inside has a great feel too. 5 star all the way to whoever designed this place!Our service was OK, but our server had an 8 top in her section and I believe our table suffered a little neglect because of it. For example the kitchen runner set our food down and left and the next time we saw her was 10 mins before we saw our server. I needed malt vinegar for my fish and chips, and by the time I got it my food was no longer hot. Our drinks went dry as wel, which should never happen in my opinion. Food wise I ordered the wrong thing. I got fish and chips and they were pretty average. Also at our table was ordered salmon and a burger. I had a taste of those and will say I lost the menu lottery tonight. The fish and chips were not even in the same league as the salmon and the burger. If this were my restaurant I would step them up, or take them off the menu.Overall just an ok experience. I would come back, but you couldn't pay me to eat the fish and chips again."

Westlake Brewing Company

★★★★★ 4.6 (78) • $$

"Had a really good visit here on a Saturday afternoon. The beers were great but the best part was talking to the staff. We had a non beer drinker with us and they provided really personal suggestions and have samples to make sure they had a good experience. We also helped taste test a new drink they were working on.A typical brewery experience with snacks and you can bring your own food but the team makes the difference."

Craft And Growler

★★★★☆ 4.4 (216) • $$

"This place is a low key hide out the owner and beertenders love what they do they have a great amount of knowledge of what they brew and the process !!! I recommend a blonde or milk stout"

Three Empires Brewing

★★★★★ 4.6 (25)

"Cute little place in the heart of downtown Frisco. The folks that own this place are super friendly and very helpful when trying to decide what to order. They will get you whatever samples you would like to help you decide. I ordered the Sleigh Ride Seltzer and it was amazing! I am already looking forward to coming back and trying more of their amazing selections."

Black Hawk Brewery

★★★★☆ 3.7 (83) • $$

"Just moved from Austin after living in the heart of Texas that has the best breweries. This place did not disappoint. They have two bars--and the upstairs patio is amazing! Food is great and has a good variety. Not to mention - great service!"

3 Nations Brewing

★★★★★ 4.7 (206) • $$

"Cool, laid back brewery in old downtown Carrollton. I wasn't sure what to expect going in but quickly found our way around. There is plenty of shaded seating outside to keep you cool in this Texas heat. I enjoyed the Rosé and tried a couple of other options in the flight. I really enjoyed the food, the burger was delicious and cooked well. The staff i encountered were all very helpful and friendly."

Peticolas Brewing Company

★★★★★ 4.6 (217) • $

"This place is an institution. One of my favorite stories to tell people is that the first day my wife and I moved to Dallas from California, a rep from Peticolas let me try some velvet hammer for free and take it home... and this was in the before times when you could only get beer home in a growler!So for someone just out of college and just getting their start in a hot hot apartment, having a growler of velvet hammer and no furniture but making it work is a very special special memory to me. I go out of my way to get their beer whenever I can, especially at Torchys!I've run their 5K twice, and it's a super fun event with an excellent vibe and excellent swag.I had the honor of meeting the founder at an event at Alamo Drafthouse, and getting to tell him my story and he seems like a totally great dude!If you haven't gotten to come here and watch a soccer game yet, add that to your Dallas bucket list!"

TUPPS Brewery

★★★★☆ 4.4 (170) • $$

"Great place to hang out even for a weekday.Stopped by on tuesday night for a bingo night. We had to seat ourselves and order at table using the QR code.It was convenient, but it would be great if they allow substitutions or an option to remove something from food.We ordered few beers, classic burger, brisket cheese steak, nachos and cheese and veg wrap.Service was quick and beer and food were amazing!Bingo was okay, their sound system could use some upgrades.Will definitely go back for upcoming events"

Celestial Beerworks

★★★★★ 4.7 (120) • $$

"I met some friends for trivia night. I started with the Ube Pina.... a purple beer! I wasn't sure about it but the bartender let me sample it first. It's like a pina colada meets a beer, so delicious!! I also tried the Echo Chamber - Blackberry Lemonade. It was also good, definitely less sweet than the Ube. There was plenty of seating inside and outside. It's a very friendly bar; I noticed they won awards for "neighbor bar feel", "best community", etc. The area isn't the greatest, but there's some street parking available."

ODD Muse Brewing Company

★★★★★ 4.7 (79)

"We've been hitting up Odd Muse quite regularly for the last year or so and we continue to have a great time. The place is relaxed, lots of pets, kiddos (supervised) and board games to go around. The staff are always super friendly and happy to give you samples of anything you'd want to try. Hazy IPAs are definitely their strength imo and they always have something creative cooked up so you'll always end up trying something new and inventive. If you are not into strong hazys they do have a long list of other beers as well including ones they've won a lot of awards for (for example the 500 pesos Mexican style lager just won a silver medal last week). There's also usually a food truck out on the weekends to pair up with your brew or you can always order something in. Great relaxed vibes here. Great job team!!!!"

The Brass Tap

★★★★☆ 3.8 (107)

"I briefly met the owner earlier this year, and in addition to being a nice guy, he seemed very passionate about his business. So when I noticed them on Door Dash I gladly ordered lunch as this is the type of person and business I want to support. The first time, I tried the Angus sliders off the appetizer menu since I wasn't too hungry and it was plenty for $9.99. The patties were very thick so they were filling for the size. They come with cheese, red onion and a bbq sauce. I got it without onion and the sauce on the side. The burger was well seasoned, the slider buns were buttery and crispy on the edges and were also thicker than your average slider bun (very smart choice) and the sauce was tasty and complimented it well. It was a really good first impression. I think I saw this on the Yelp delivery menu more recently at $1 more, which is understandable- supply chain issues and more expensive protein costs will of course impact the menu prices.I feel pretty certain I tried several sandwiches from here this summer, but with my ADD if I don't have a pic posted, it may not have happened, lol. So I'll just stick to the details I definitely remember. About a month ago I ordered the pot roast grilled cheese with tots. I believe it was $13.99. It comes with jalapenos, but I never know how spicy jalapenos will be and I was at work, so I got it without. It was a good thickness and the portion was more than fair for the price. I have no complaints as I like grilled cheese, I like brisket and I like tots. It was a solid meal that got me through the day and I think I was only able to finish about half of it. Today I tired the sirloin steak Caesar salad for $12.99. While I wouldn't have minded more steak, the size of the salad matched my expectation. I liked that the thin slices made it easier to eat with other ingredients and the dressing was much tastier than I typically get from a Caesar salad.I haven't been in person due to my work schedule, but they are located in The Shops at Highland Village and if I find myself over there with extra time, I would definitely stop in. Seems like a nice place for Happy Hour on the patio.I find their appetizer menu especially to be interesting and varied and it seems like they put a lot of time and thought into their sauces. The rest of the menu is typical bar fare with a variety of nachos, burgers, sandwiches and salads, so exactly the type of food my husband eats. I just like that they have a good mix of proteins to choose from like shrimp, chicken, turkey, pork and I think I've seen an impossible burger on the menu. I saw a few reviews mentioning tiny portions, but I haven't had that experience at all. I know several specifically mentioned items that are appetizers, so I'm not sure if people are trying to make a meal out of Happy Hour apps or if people are still struggling to accept price fluctuations with supply and demand. I mean, I'm not thrilled that I've been spending more at the grocery store, but businesses are going through the same struggles so I'm not surprised if I see something more expensive than it was the last time. Besides, the price is completely in line with the other businesses in the area and there are more expensive options in the same shopping center."

Four Corners Brewing

★★★★★ 4.5 (222) • $

"Staying nearby rode the Lime Scooter to FCB to sample the brewskis. Loved the Especial, a Mexican style lager brewed with epic hops, on premises. Nice servers and lots of choices. They have huge indoor area for watching games or patio to enjoy the rare nice weather days."

Hop and Sting Brewing Company

★★★★☆ 4.4 (120) • $$

"Great, relaxed place to hang out, try some different beers, and catch up with friends. I've only been once and only tried two different beers (both IPAs) and thought both were solid. The staff was very friendly. There is a nearby food truck and you can bring in your tacos or BBQ, but I also saw folks bringing in some pizzas (not sure where from).One of the IPAs that I had (I think it was called the Northeast Texas) was very good and I'd recommend it highly."

Intrinsic Smokehouse & Brewery

★★★★☆ 4.2 (659) • $$

"I love how amazing the service is here. I'm a vegetarian so I ordered the loaded baked potato but with queso and macaroni on top instead of meat. They charged me for a non meat baked potato ($4 less) which a I really appreciated since I didn't order meat. The food was super fast. The beer cheese tasted way too much like beer to be enjoyable for me but the pretzel (minus the extra seasoning on top) was really nice! The baked potato was huge and kept me full for a long time. I'd definitely be back here and plan to visit again"

Rollertown Beerworks

★★★★★ 4.7 (50) • $$

"Love this place! They have fantastic weekend events. Follow them on FB or IG. I especially love how people bring their dogs in. The staff is very attentive and friendly. Seth is the best. Highly recommended this brewery. Keep up the great work!!"

Union Bear Brewing

★★★★★ 4.8 (106) • $$

"We used the private room space over the weekend and had a great experience. The room was nice and had a TV inside as well. Service was also great. Between those there, we had pizza, wings, shrimp starter, tacos, chicken straps, and other items. Everything was great and I heard the drinks were as well. I definitely want to come back here soon."

Siren Rock Brewing

★★★★☆ 3.9 (142) • $$

"Great beer with multiple selections that aren't just IPAs. Same for food. Cool setting. Disappointed that there were zero tshirt men's options. Would have liked to have treated myself and rep a new top 10 brewery."

Pegasus City Brewery

★★★★★ 4.5 (41)

"We spontaneously stopped by on a Saturday afternoon to check it out after seeing their sign for cider. This is such an adorable brewery! Lots of seating indoors with cute decor. Free vintage arcade games (we played 2 player Tetris). There is also a Photo Booth for a charge. Large outdoor fenced patio area with seating and some lawn games. Pet friendly. The staff was extremely friendly and offered us samples of their cider and hard ginger ale. That hard ginger ale was delicious! We spoke with the owner about their brewing practices. Allergy note: their cider and hard ginger ale are made gluten-free but are brewed in the same stainless steel barrels as their beer so despite cleaning in between, there is a theoretical risk of cross-contamination. They also had a substantial wine list and I enjoyed a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. We will definitely return here again and bring our dog!"

Bitter Sisters Brewery

★★★★☆ 4.4 (67) • $$

"Always a good time here. The tap room is small, but the staff is always great. You'll get all the beers they sell at stores, plus any special experimental beers. They don't sell food, so BYOF. They have a bunch of board games, and you can go walk around the actual brewery too. Check this place out!"

Beard Science Sour House

★★★★★ 4.6 (17)

"This place was so cute It's located adjacent to the Truck Yard in the Colony. They specialize in Sour beers hence the nameBut they have a full barA small wine list And you can always go next door to grab a different beer beverage if you prefer Lots of seating inside and outThey literally share the entire outdoor space with truck yard so there's something for everyone AND you have access to the amazing food truck offeringsLots of TVs for sports watching and the roll up garage doors ice house style for taking in the beautiful rolling hills of Austin ranch..Later this year this complex will have a tiki bar and they'll never get rid of me haha The service was great Dog friendly Plenty of parking Highly recommend"

Oak Cliff Brewing

★★★★★ 4.5 (40) • $

"Love coming here. Bartender is always friendly and informative. I'm not much of a drinker but the craft beers they have are really tasty. Bartender explains what they taste like and helps you decide what to try. They have different fun things you can do like Bingo, Trivia and Lotería. Tacos and pizza are available on different days. I have been several times and each time had fun. Parking can be a little difficult. Arrive early to ensure a good spot. People here are friendly also. Plus sometimes they have live music. Check out their facebook page for dates and times of what's happening."

Community Beer Company

★★★★☆ 4.2 (278) • $$

"Lots of space for large parties both inside and large outdoor space when the weather is nice. Food is solid, ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich and taco trio. Great selection of beers as well!"
