This place rocks! Nashville mac & cheese is where it's at! I enjoy the environment of this place. Sitting upstairs is super fun with KU games on. The salads are massive and everything on menu is great! Service could be better I've had spotty waitresses.

This review is purely based on the beer and not the food. We were on our way to New Mexico and decided to hit some spots in Kansas, and what better stop than their oldest brewery?We parked quite far away, as this fun town was packed even on a gloomy day. We walked in and it was pretty busy, but they had a spot for two at a table, even though the bar was full. I ordered the Free State Lager, and I believe my partner ordered the Amber. Both drinks were really smooth and easy to throw back! We felt a bit rushed because there were people waiting to get a table to actually eat, so we only had one and then left to find somewhere a little more low-key. Ambience wise there was a lot of warm cabin like wood in a lofted space.

Dinner was good! We loved the bruschetta, have been wanting it again! Had fish & chips, was very good!!! Service Downside: Hubby ordered sandwich that was supposed to be on pretzel roll but wasn't told they were out of them until food arrived; the pretzel roll was main reason for ordering that particular item!

Rating is based only stopping in for a beer. We had already eaten otherwise might have been tempted. My husband got the oatmeal stout which was really good. I liked my Gravel City Kolsch although my husband thought it was just okay. This place was hopping for a Monday night. It looks small initially but with the upstairs and back room it holds more than you might expect.

This is a very unique restaurant, i love all the decorations they have. The drinks were good and the food was okay, i would probably try something different next time. The hot chicken sandwich wasn't hot and it was made with grilled chicken which i thought was interesting. Our waitress was very nice and they have great fruit cobblers!

My kids and I stopped in for a late lunch. We loved everything we ordered. The onion rings were so good!!! My son had the tortellini and that was very good. Fish and chips were good too. We want to go back and try more

After a long day of driving we arrived at our friends home in Lawrence and shortly thereafter headed downtown to the Free State Brewing Company for some beer and dinner.For my beer, I opted for their flagship brew, Ad Astra Amber Ale, an easy drinking, richly colored beer with a nice mouthfeel, fine carbonation, and frothy head -- a satisfying start to the evening.The menu was loaded with typical brew pub burgers and fried food, but also featured entrees like Hungarian Mushroom Goulash, Santiago Shrimp Linguine, Nashville Chicken Mac, and Jagerschnitzel & Mash. All sounded tempting, but as a fan of German food, I immediately decided to go with the schnitzel.When the food was delivered (after a perfectly reasonable amount of time), my initial reaction was disappointment -- because, strictly speaking -- the dish was not a schnitzel -- that is, it was not a breaded, fried pork cutlet, but rather, an un-breaded, pan seared, boneless pork loin chop. However, after my initial disappointment upon seeing it was not a traditional schnitzel, I dug in and was pleasantly surprised and satisfied with a pretty good dish. The pork cutlets were decently cooked and smothered with a rich gravy, filled with sautéed mushrooms and enhanced with a handful of sweetened tart cherries. The "mash" was a generous dollop of garlic mashed potatoes. A small mound of crispy deep fried shredded onions brought a crunchy element to the dish -- though they really didn't fit a German inspired dish in a cohesive manner.I wish the menu more accurately described the dish I ordered -- I'll lay the blame for that on the management -- but the food and beer were decent and I enjoyed my meal. Next time I'll try something else to see how accurately it is described on the menu.Jagerschnitzel

Only my 2nd time trying this place and for the 2nd time it was just okay. Service was fine, maybe a bit slow at times but I don't know how many tables the server had. Restaurant was fine, seemed clean if crowded with tables and chairs close together. Food wasn't anything to brag about. I mean the fries were good but the main dishes were just okay. Except for the person who ordered the tortellini none of us would order what we got again. Very thankful that there are reasonable gluten-free and vegan options, that in itself earned a star.

Came here on a business trip from San Diego. I wanted to see what's the favorite spots in Lawrence. This spot is legit.The food is excellent, service is very accommodating, and beer selection is great. The food menu has a lot of European takes to it which is awesome to complement the beers. It's very busy during dinner which tells me everyone goes here. I'm Filipino, so I had to try their Lumpia's (Filipino Egg rolls) here which is left field. It was good, but needed some improvements. Portion is kinda small and thin. It's needs shrimp mixed to it or add extra pork added to its thickness. The dipping sauce needs a little tad sweetness to it like honey to it to off set the tangy flavor. But I respect the take. However, I order their French dip sandwich. It was very delicious with the Au Jus sauce. You definitely need to order the Onion Rings on the side. Onions Rings was one of the best I had.

I was in Lawrence for an event. Looked up best burger & this place was open. FUEL bison burger with seasoned fries. Bison was new to me, slightly gamey aftertaste.ATMOSPHERE assistant picked up food (ate in vehicle). SERVICE my assistant said service was very kind, namely because they offered H2O while she waited. Good packing for takeout. I would recommend overall.
