Ambiance: Local brewery with a patio and indoor dining options. Dog friendly and a great spot for large groups or hanging out on a weekend. The chicken fried chicken was okay - not the best but decent! Their beers were okay as well. They didn't have the biggest selection/options IMO but the service was decent and we had a nice time. Parking onsite - does get crowded!

This is a return visit to Blue Star Brewing. We were in the mood for Craft Beer along with Fish & Chip. This place hit the mark. Our server Eleanore is very sweet and energetic. She made our visit very nice. The atmosphere is casual with a rustic / artistic vibe. There is seating both inside and out but in this heat, inside is great.Fun Fact: if you like the brew you had with lunch you can purchase a Growler and have it filled to go. As Always - Eat In Good Health.

Was excited to try food and beer at this brewery in Southtown. It's a great location! So that's what it's got going for it. Service was not good either. Our server took a while to take our order and we had to wait awhile, and then after we got our order, our server didn't really come by to check up on us. We had to wait and wave them down to get a water refill, I wouldn't recommend the food. Fries were not crispy and super bland. The sandwich was mediocre. Wished there was more pastrami. There was only a layer or two of meat but usually places stack it. The German plate was pretty sad. The beers we got were mostly sours. If I am in the area, I'd come back to try more beers but I probably won't get food next time. If you're in the area and wanting a drink, I recommend it. But if you're wanting food, I would recommend going elsewhere

We came here on a Monday so it was really chill. Our server was really attentive. We got poppers (pretty good) and a couple of IPAs (just okay).

Come for the brews stay for the food. Went in a relatively quiet night. IPA's are always great and so are the nachos. Today we had dinner as well. Service was great, parking is a challenge.

It was a gorgeous day so we sat in the patio which gives you a view of the riverwalk. It wasn't busy for a Saturday, got a table quick. Our server was great. The nachos were ok, they had beer cheese which mixed with the brisket wasn't my favorite. The beers were fine. Nothing stands out. Nice place to check out before you head over to the shops.

Nestled along the river walk, this establishment boasts breathtaking outdoor scenery, perfect for al fresco dining enthusiasts. While the interior exudes a quaint, vintage charm, it may not quite qualify as modern, yet it still maintains its own unique appeal. Impeccably clean and staffed by friendly individuals, the ambiance is welcoming and inviting.Although our waiter ensured our needs were met upon inquiry, they didn't actively check in beyond that. Despite the bustling crowd, the service remained efficient. The menu features a selection of classic bar fare, including burgers, chicken wings, tacos, along with a few sandwiches and salads. While the offerings weren't groundbreaking, they were satisfying nonetheless.With a full bar at your disposal, the menu pairs seamlessly with an array of libations. Imagine basking in the serene riverside atmosphere, indulging in delectable food and refreshing drinks--a recipe for a blissful day out. While the restaurant may not be extraordinary, it fulfills its purpose admirably, providing a relaxing haven for locals and visitors alike.

Blue Star won't be a first choice for beer or food unless you're in the area. That doesn't make this brewery a bad option, it's just a perfect okay one.The beers are all pretty standard and inoffensive. They're great if you're with your dad or just need a drink after a run. Get a flight and you'll see what I mean. The food is your typical bar food - lots if fried things and many shades of beige. The best thing about Blue Star Brewing is the service. The waitress I had was one of the best ever and made sure I was taken care of and thought of. The bartender was also almost at that level. They deserve all the praise. Be sure to check out events here as they do lots of fun outreach programs and they even host astronomy nights!Parking will be a pain. If you don't parking in the Blue Star parking lot, drive half a block east and you'll find free street parking.

Service was good and our food didn't disappoint. I took away a star bc the patio can use some serious attention. Given that this place has a big outdoor audience since it's right at the river and bike trail, it would benefit them to clean up, fix up the patio.I also don't like they add a GB tax and a fee for using a Credit card to pay. The established is big enough to eat the credit card fee for customers.
