Lawrence Beer Co

Love the food, ambiance is great, they brew the best beer in town (raspberry edel), & service is always phenomenal!

We stopped by for a few beers and some eats. As we proceeded to the bar we noticed it was not very crowded this Sunday afternoon. It's large on the inside with plenty of seating but also there is an outside dog friendly patio. I had the Big Peach which was pretty good and my husband had the darkest one, Black is all the colors which he really enjoyed. Nick our bartender/ server was very knowledgeable about all of the beer and did an excellent job. The chili was delicious and had a different type of chili flavor like it had a little 5 spice or something in it. The salad light and fresh and burata sweet and savory. Inside is very clean, high ceilings and has an industrial vibe. We've been in one other time and it was a crowded Friday night. It was fun also. We'll be back, I recommend.

I would give Lawrence Beer Co 8 stars if I could. I have traveled the United States, been in every major city and most minor ones and thousands of restaurants. I have probably been in over 100 brewpubs. (in terms of pure beer only Torn Label Kansas City is in the same class). I can think of less than a handful to get everything right. The vibe is excellent, the service superior, my Porter beer was top-notch (I hope they make a stout soon;). Everyone in my groups food was superb. The chili was awesome and I am a chili snob. The brussels sprouts were the best I've ever had bar none. Congratulations to the owners. You did it all right (my only caution would be to be careful and make sure your bathrooms are kept spotless. :-). Cannot wait to return and hope I can take a growler Porter and a growler of chili to go!!!

We come here every time we are in Lawrence! The beer and seltzer are so good! The one thing you must try is the pretzel bites--the cheese is so good! Sometimes we get the fries with extra cheese too. This time I also got the shrimp pasta which was so creamy and the shrimps were plump and delicious. The restaurant is always clean and orderly. The service is friendly and the food is usually prompt, would recommend!

Location: East Lawrence. 5 minute walk from downtownAmbiance: Brewery. It is a nice place with indoors and outdoor seating. Service: Excellent Food: When reviewing a brewery, I don't expect a michelin quality dish. This place have very good food. Burgers are delicious and so far in Lawrence, it is my second favorite place, besides de burger stand, which is my top 1 by far. Beers are ok.

Best brew in Douglas county and maybe surrounding counties as well though I can't speak for all the options there. Food is good, wish the menu had a few more choices. Really wish the peach saison was better. Nice patio. Good for kids.

We have been here a couple times. Once with a large group, we appreciated the inside brewery atmosphere with picnic tables that easily accommodated our entire group. The other time just 4 of us sat at the tables outside which offered a nice variety compared to the inside vibe. 1. I was surprised and impressed by the menu, they offer much more than typical bar food. The food was good. 2. The huge selection of top tier beer is something to write home about. I'm not a beer drinker and even I enjoyed "Big Peach". 3. Only one negative, the service. Both times we waited forever. The first time with the large group they were busy, I could understand. But the return visit we had a small group and they were not busy, we still had mediocre service. Hopefully they can overcome this service issue because otherwise they've got a hit here.

Great beer and fun to sit outside. We loved the big orange beer. The waitress was very friendly.

What a terribly unorganized place. We arrived at the host stand had someone come up to greet us and never came back. We had to be sat by another person then we got sat on the patio which was fine but our server was terrible. She took our drink order and then our food but never checked on us again. We had to flag her down because she would look at us but not come up to us. I even had to ask another staff member to check on our food. To make things worse we waited close to an hour for our food only for her to come up to us and say the kitchen "lost" our ticket. My guess is that she never put it in the first place. It would've been fine if she was honest and said that but we were so annoyed at that point we wanted to leave. All she offered us were free fries to try and make up for the mistake. It really seemed like she was going to ask us to pay for our drinks when she noticed we wanted to leave but at least she knew better than to do that. Terrible service, just ok beer, never got our food so I couldn't tell you. Would give 0 stars if I could

The dirt patch beside their outdoor patio is not LBC property. Fine. I understand the dirt bag developer from KC won't allow them to use it. Then why should LBC staff be the Karen's that police kids from playing on it? Such an off putting lunch and interaction with the owner of LBC. Not friendly, not cool.Update- The owner responded on Google and he is wrong on many fronts. He claims it was unsupervised. We were feet away on outdoor patio supervising our 5 year old. LBC had allowed kids, adults, and dogs to use this space for most of the years they have been open. Now the change and the reason for the unfriendly interaction with the owner. I had to google a news article to understand why this ugly dirt patch exists. You may feel Karen is derogatory but that is exactly what happened with both you and your staff. An unfriendly interaction. No explanation, no conversation.
