Legacy Ale Works

TLDR Overall Scores:Beer: 8.1/10Venue: 8.4/10Worth a visit? Absolutely, but can get busy and loud during peak times. Check hours before making a lunch trip, as they open at 3PM most weekdays.My number of visits: 10+ (2023-2024)The Beer: You're going to find a style that you enjoy on tap. 20+ taps with IPAs, seasonals, Belgians, pub ales, lagers, sours, etc. Take advantage of their beer flights in order to get an idea of their distinctive style and flavors. I've been here several times, and I've never had a bad beer. The staple is probably Hibbidy Dibbity (hazy IPA), and you can usually find it on tap. Do yourself a favor and look over the beer list carefully before ordering, though...as you may find some real gems hiding there. Don't be afraid to take a chance. For example, I get burned out on Scottish Ales easily, and I never want a full pint of a Wee Heavy. I took a chance on theirs, and I was blown away. The Venue: It's a little tucked away in the corner of a shopping center just off of Route 1, but it's worth the trip. Parking shouldn't be an issue, but the lot is oddly designed, and every time I go there someone steps out from between some parked cars or blows through an unexpected stop. It's Florida, so keep your head on a swivel.That being said, over the last 18 months that I've been going here, the location has undergone significant improvements. They are constantly upgrading and improving, and you can tell that management/owners really want to create a welcoming space. I think that is where Legacy really shines - the owner/brewer (veteran owned and operated, btw) and manager are both clearly customer-focused, knowledgeable, and friendly.The other detail of note is that they are heavily event-focused. There is always something going on, which may throw you off if you're looking for a quiet spot for dinner and a pint. One corner is going to be the 'loud locals', plus they're really family friendly, and so you may be entertained by a screaming toddler streaking through the room. Then there is the event space, which may have an open mic night. It can be sensory overload. Family friendly? Yes, absolutely. Pet friendly? Yes, absolutely. Open courtyard with lots of tables.Cans / Crowlers? No cans, but you can take home crowlers of your favorites.Brewery on site? Yes, and the brewer is engaged and friendly. The freshest beer only has to travel a few feet. Some nice merch available, too.Food availability? Burgers, flatbreads, etc. Vegetarian options. Quality is good and not overcomplicated.Reservations? No, but they do private events with a nice connected event space.Events: They do a ton of creative and fun events, with something going on pretty much every week. Check it out on their website.Me (why my reviews are possibly relevant): 20+ years beer experience in brewing, beer judging (BJCP), brewing instruction, and bar / restaurant service.

Nice brewery with a good selection of beers. Very airy and nice inside. The bartender was really nice and helpful when deciding on what beer to drink. I can't comment on the food as we did not eat here. But if you're looking for a good spot with a nice selection of beers, definitely hit this brewery up.

My husband and I stopped here because we love breweries and we were up that way from St. Augustine. It's a great place, very family friendly. The bar tenders were so friendly and attentive. I do not typically like craft beer, but my husband does so we are always looking for local breweries. I found a number of drinks that I really enjoyed! We also ordered the pretzel and Buffalo flatbread. Both were really good! The only reason for the 4 stars is the price. I am all about paying for high quality, but the drink prices were higher than most breweries. Aside from that we really enjoyed our time there.

Had a great holiday TapRoom TakeOver for my group. We hired an awesome 3-piece band from St Augustine. Taproom was tastefully decorated for the season. The service provided was excellent! The cider and beer plentiful along with wine!Will definitely be back again. Food was brought in from local Mexican joint nearby. Setup was good.

Really nice beer selection. Surprised by the French Country Ale; very rips and refreshing. Good that they've added food. Overall a really nice spot to have some fresh brews.

We have been coming to Legacy Ale Works for awhile now so I'm surprised it took this this long to write a review. They are for sure our location brewery that we have been coming to and that's because they are making some amazing beers and always have so many options as well as a number of next options too. My normal go to is the Trippy Devil which is as Belgium Triple. It for sure worth trying, a lot of flavor without the heaviness of an IPA. This time though they had a new Scotch Ale called the Wee Shankly and it was great. Probably one of if not the best Scotch Ale's I have had. Now this was a new beer so I'm not sure if it's for a limited time or will be on the menu permanently but just incase you should come to Legacy and get one. I also tried some food for the first time at Legacy as well and was very impressed. We head already eaten dinner but needed something to snack on with our beers so we of course went with the Pretzel and Beer Cheese. The Pretzel was cooked perfectly. Soft and fluff with each bite and not at all over cooked which seems to happen too much with other large pretzels. The Beer Cheese also had a lot of flavor. We will for sure continue to come to Legacy Ale Works for beers but next time we might come for dinner too because after looking over their food menu more there is a lot to try.

We found a great beer place .. and food is awesome!! Amazing selection of beers (they are celebrating Oktoberfest now so have a nice selection of seasonal beer.) Cynthia, the bartender, was really helpful and well informed of the many beers on tap. Lots of tvs with sports on (with sound)Def worth the visit :)

I LOVED Legacy Ale Works! There was ample seating and I liked the ability to pick my own table. There was a decent selection of beer and wine. I tried a cider, beer, and red wine. All were unique and delicious. I have a dairy allergy and the staff made sure to accommodate with vegan cheese and even double checked to make sure I didn't have any other allergies. This establishment was not packed for a Saturday and I loved every second of my time here. I will be back!

This place keeps getting better and better. Their beer is always been top-notch and they've added/brought back some of their best beers. You have Belgian triples, lagers IPAs, ciders, they also have a selection of wine and nonalcoholic drinks for those who do not want beer, pretty much everything . The atmosphere is awesome. They have a nice sized event room if you wanna rent it out for private parties or work events. The thing that has grown and gotten better and better with each time we get there is their food. They have burgers, flatbreads, giant pretzels, pretty much something for everyone, I could go on and on. My wife and I love it every single time we go, which is at least pretty much at least once a week lol. The staff are always knowledgeable, friendly and down to earth. They make you feel like family there. It's very family friendly, they have lots of games to keep the kiddos entertained or adults entertained.We would highly recommend it .

Great ambient! Nice staff! Good beer! And kids are welcome!!! Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
