Review of Manayunk Brewery and Restauran...

The resident brewery of Main St is Manayunk Brewin...

The resident brewery of Main St is Manayunk Brewing Company, aka "Brew Pub". The best things about this place are a) the multitude of different bar areas, and b) a huge outdoor deck on the riverbank, which is gorgeous in the warmer months. The food is solidly American pub fare, and of average price and taste. Weirdly enough, they have a good sushi bar. Sometimes the beer can be a little muddy in flavor, but it's nice to have a brewery in town.

On weekend evenings, the pub is mobbed by the college crowd, and you will likely need to pay a cover and/or get carded hard. The payoff is some great live music, if you can deal with the crowd.

There is a listing of all the floods on the brewery wall and the height they reached in the ground floor. This is a dubious point of pride, as I'm sure plenty of brew batches have been lost to the raging waters...
