Bee's Knees Brewing

Hosted a small presentation here recently. Pam was extremely accommodating and had everything we needed ready to go. This place has their food and service on lockdown. Everyone had a great time and I can't wait to go back!

I wanted to like this place- cozy and beautiful old building with what looked like appetizing and varied pub menu, but they cut corners in all the wrong places. We looked at the Brewhouse Burger, but you had to pay 25 cents for each veg that you wanted on the burger; 25 cents for Lettuce, .25 more for tomato, and another for Onions, Pickles and another for Cheese- which is understandable, but they also consider Fries a Premium side which again seems a little chintzy. Sides that did come with the burger, were: Slaw, Potato Chips, Potato Salad Mac and Cheese or Apple Sauce, but fries are extra. We did order The Memphis sandwich, which was delicious! Like the burger though, fries are extra but at least you don't need to pay an extra $1.25 to get it as it should already come. I ordered the Bacon and Blue Salad which sounded really good as it boasts of a lettuce BLEND but when it came out was old, Iceberg but there was not a bit of another type of lettuce in that salad. It was terrible. The lettuce was like eating a paper towel, no flavor at all and soggy texture. Its a shame too, to make your own salad dressing, use real bacon and blue cheese and then go the cheap route of Iceberg lettuce by itself. We did take it home for the chickens though. The Fried Pickles were burned on 1 side and the breading was not thoroughly cooked on the other. I ordered a half Sweet and Half unsweetened Tea which, I thought maybe the waitress just didn't put enough Sweet tea in, so I drank 3 inches and asked her to top it off with sweet but still, there was not sugar taste to the tea. I brought this up to the waitress but all she had to say was "do you want some sugar?". Not at all concerned that the Sweet tea had been made incorrectly, nor did she go and check it. The beer comes served in a 12 oz. Jar which is a cutesy touch but does not take the place of a frosted mug. I didn't not order a Bloody Mary be as they only have the cheapo Zing Zang. The service was okay but not friendly and there didn't seem to be a lot of engagement with the food or business. I'm always intrigued when the menu goes a different direction than the typical area fare, so I asked a question about the Greek food offerings and was told there was no particular reason.So, all and all, it isn't a place that I'd wish to take another shot at. I gave it a 3 because there is potential here, but they could definitely change a few things.12 oz beer, Iced Tea, Salad, Sandwich and Fried Pickles- $37 and change plus tip.

This is the second time in 2 years that I have stopped here during my vacation at the lake of the ozarks. The Food is very good. I'm not to keen on ipa beer, I'm more a German dark beer drinkers or domestics. The service is amazing and the ambience is great to look at too.

So I admit I may have a drinking problem. More specifically, a craft beer drinking problem. Working in the area, had me talking to a few locals about good places to go. Bee's Knees Brewery happened to come up each time, so I punched it into Yelp and hit the directions button. Before I knew it, I was on my way to an awesome craft experience.There's a wonderful blend of brews from at least a half a dozen taps, and a hefty menu to boot. The staff was over the top nice, and it was great to so welcomed.I ended up coming back MULTIPLE times to enjoy their flights. I didn't get a chance to try the food menu, but if their pizza buffet is any indication, the rest of the food has to be great. If I ever make it back to the area, I'm definitely stopping back in for some more good beer and good times. I added their logo to my hard hat if that's any indication of my review!

I love the jalapeño popper pizza so yummy,They also have fantastic sandwiches as well and great drinks homemade soda a very highly recommend business

We had two sandwiches. The Chicken Chipotle and the Chicken Bacon Ranch. Both were very tasty and full servings. My friend took part if her chicken home as a left over. We tried two beers, we preferred the Bare Foot Buzz Lemon Shandy.

Great spot for brews & food. Ambiance is pleasant. The American Lager (Bock) is delicious & my hubby enjoyed the Stout. Happy hour menu & 12 Oz. Beers with prices that can't be beat!Ashley, our server was very personable & attentive. Highly recommend you include this stop on you brewery path at the lake.

Food was good but we sat down for 30 mins before someone asked us what we wanted to eat and then we are trying to leave and we asked for to go boxes and they took 25 mins to get them to us...very good food very poor service

The beer was good. Outdoor patio/beer garden area allows dogs. Service was a bit odd but the staff was friendly; asked us to close out our tab each time after ordering beers from the indoor bar. If we're back in the area, we'd stop back in.

Found this fun place on our way through town. The employees were helpful and personable. A very cool old building. Our lunch was delicious and was so nice to have a great side salad as an option. And, of course, had to try the beer which was great. We will go back next time we head to the lake!
