Elm City Brewery Reviews

I have been there several times. The food is very good (for reference: better than olive garden and long horn). I sent a plate back once with no problem, but occasionally it feels a little bit unfriendly inside. There was a guy at the front desk who wasn't particularly cheerful (mildly hostile).

P.S. they are really protective of the umbrellas outside, so don't try to move them, or touch them.

Really nice brewery and restaurant! They have an excellent menu and and lot of different great beers to try! Definitely worth to visit and have a great meal and drink a beer when you are visiting Keene!

Very good, I had the brewmaster knockwurst and bratwurst.

Service was fantastic! Food is always great and I really dig their raspberry wheat beer.

Great food...great beer and drinks. Food is awesome!!

Best burgers on the planet! Fried mushrooms, mmm! Oh, yeah, and beer.

Favorite place to greet a Reuben. Best I've ever had.

Had the BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger was good, sweet potato fries were amazing, beers were also good, server was very nice and prices were fine

Pretty good food. Service was just ok. I would go back and give it another shot.

Gini is a true mixologist. Her pure and raw talent when it comes to crafting cocktails certainly entitles her to the following she has. I know I m one of her followers. I can t wait for summer and the return of the Choco Taco.

Get the burgers! One of my favorite items on the menu. They not only are packed full of flavor but locally sourced. (As is everything else, another reason I love ECB)

Really nice atmosphere, kid friendly, nice staff. The drinks we ordered were good and the food was also good! We had the veggie burger, a meat burger, potato skins, 2 kids meals, soup, and a salad. Everyone enjoyed what they had and it was all cooked well. The only complaint we had is that the food took nearly 45 minutes to come out and we ordered no appetizers or anything. It was the middle of the day and not overly crowded. We had toddlers in tow and by the time the food came, they were really quite done with sitting.

Elm City Brewing Co. is a decent brewpub in downtown Keene, NH. The staff is super friendly and will serve you in a timely manner. Their tap line has decent house brews and a few guest brews. The food are excellent and very tasty. If you are a beer connoisseur like me, they are a short drive away from Brattleboro, VT. Just stop in today for samples, a pint or a growler. You won't be disappointed.

Sampled some ok beer and some great beer. 4 dinners were ordered in my group and all 4 of us liked them

Visited there 2-3 times and the food and atmosphere are great.

Love this place if you get a chance to go please do you won't regret it

Wonderful place to have lunch. Pub atmosphere,with a New England hard wood and brick dinning areas. Full bar as well as dinning room.

Great time. The beer was good and the menu was huge.

Even though we had to wait 30+ minutes to get seated, once we were at our table our server (Emily) was spot on. The Old Man's Porter was delicious, the Turkey Melt was delicious and the Chocolate porter Mousse was beyond delicious. Everything was awesome and I will be back.

Wondering if daily specials could be posted on the main Facebook page or Instagram. Would be nice to see what other options they have before going.

Elm City is your classic Pub with very good home brews. But not limited to just that. Always a good eat.

Excellent service grear choices in Beer. Food food. What more is there to say.

Food and brew was great, service was a bit lacking.

What a great place ! Super good burger and fries . The waitress was so good and friendly . We had a small issue with ate stuff not by her fault at all and she help us out with no attitude great spirit ! I will tell my friends and all to come here ! So happy about it !

Very good food, service was also great. Good flavors and good atmosphere. Reasonably priced as well.

I love the food ans atmosphere. The servers are always friendly ans attentive.

With outdoor and indoor seating and separate indoor spaces include large open air atrium, raised bar and cozy secluded booths, there's always seating to suit your mood. Food is always good, always a variety of specials and variety of seasonal craft beers brewed on the premises. Good friendly service.

Amazing service..great atmosphere..being a chef myself this food was top notch

So I love Elm City! BUT, they do not have a baby changing station in the men s room. Just the women s. Let me know how it s 2020 and this is still a common problem. My brother had to go to his car to change his kid, meanwhile we saw mother s doing it just fine in the ladies restroom. This is quite literally a simple fix. It s embarrassing for Elm City.

Great beer, food and atmosphere. There isn't a better non-college pub in the area

Fish & chips and Brewmaster's Dinner are to die for! Awesome selection of beers and cocktails.

Great atmosphere. Great food. Great staff. Great owner. Best place in town.

Had a burger and some beers really tasty all around. Covid safe on the patio with qr codes for digital menus and hand sanitizer bottles on every table. Tables were nicely spread out.

Good food...just took a while to get our initial service

I love this place. The hostess is always friendly and the staff are always attentive and outgoing. The food is amazing from their burgers and fries to their haddock meal and haddock sandwiches. Great menu, good prices. Worth the visit

Don't order the taco salad. It is disgusting. The waitress was an idiot who messed up my order and totally ignored me. I constantly had to ask another waitress for services. Guess what she got as a tip...

Food and drinks are always good here. Never had a bad meal

Second time here. It is over rated. The knockwurst did not taste like knockwurst and the idea of eating like a hot dog did not work.

The help was disinterested. You had to go inside to get a table outsider. Why?

Excellent food and beer. Unlike most craft breweries most of the beers are lower in Ibu's so you don't need to be a hop head to enjoy.

Best craft beer & grilled pastrami reubens in Southern NH....

Great food! The bbq bacon burger is tops! Beer is on point as well. Highly recommend. Great outdoor seating.

The food was amazing the waitress was horrible left us to ask other waitresses to do her job then talked to a manager and he didn't do a thing or even say sorry not impressed for first time

Buffalo garlic wings are the best. Went late though and was served stale bread with my chowder... disappointing. Jalapeno corn chowder was great. I hate when the server tries to rush your order by saying the kitchen is closing. Don't let us in the door if that's how you really feel.

Food is good. The wait is rediculously for server and food....plan to spend the day. Not a place if on schedule

Afun holiday lunch with friends. Food was delicious and was the beer and tequila.

Amazing beers, great food, relaxing atmosphere. Be sure to call ahead and ask if outside seating is available before bringing your dog!

Good food, friendly service. That's all you can ask for

Excellent staff!! Good is crazy delicious & the specialty drinks are Amazing!! If you haven't been.... You're missing out!!

The food and service are good. They make all the dressings in house. Just a little pricey

The Peachy Keene Kolsch is definitely one of my favorites. The food is also very tasty and staff is friendly. I really enjoy sitting outside as well. I highly recommend a visit!

Went there on a Tuesday after exploring New Hampshire in the rain and got denied a beer because my out of state license was expired. We were sat at a high top with my boyfriend and his cousin. I was THE ONLY ONE ID d. The waitress at the end of the meal apologized saying sorry you couldn t get your beer, but it s the law funny how I was the only one discriminated against. Didn t see anyone else get ID d in there the entire time. My state isn t renewing licenses/ID s due to corona virus. Ranch was good, sweet potatoes were mediocre at best. Chicken tenders were extremely small, but the sauce was good.

Food was fantastic and our waitress was a 10 ++ for such a large party she was awesome

Always good food and excellent beer. Usually busy, so reservations help, but arent always necessary.

Excellent beer, food and service ! Very friendly atmosphere.

Went here to catch up with some friends. Drinks were fantastic, as were the wings. The bartender was very pleasant and on top of it. Will definitely be returning!

I've now been here 3 or 4 times, and each time the food has been wonderful, and the staff has been terrific. The atmosphere is very relaxed and low key, and I love the location. I would definitely recommend this place.

Great food and atmosphere! Prices not bad! In the colony mill marketplace! Nice foyer area!

Always great food and beer. The best iced tea in town regardless to how they make it. Very good service.

Really good food, adorable outdoor seating, and great service!

Good food, friendly servers and reasonably priced berr.

My husband and I stopped for lunch on our way through Keene, NH at Elm City Brewing. The restaurant is quite extensive with seating adhering to COVID guidelines indoors and good seating outdoors. The servers were very friendly. I had a chicken pesto sandwich which was very tasty and my husband had a tuna wrap which he also enjoyed. He tried a beer called Blimey, which he thought was delicious!
We really enjoyed our lunch!

Food is always very good. Onion rings unbelieveable. Buffalo/garlic wings exceptional. Good menu..nice folks.

My wife and I had dinner here on 11/6/15. This place is so awesome and so unique. They brew their own beer and have been since 1994 - one of the pioneers in the craft beer industry.
They are conveniently located in Keene NH with lots of free parking.
Whitney was our server (at the bar) and she was absolutely amazing. We were amazed at her abilities to super-multitask and still maintain conversation, keep up with orders, answer questions, and all with a great smile and pleasant, friendly attitude.
The beer was really good. It is fantastic that they don't get all petty and charge different prices for different ABV. Beer is beer, it takes no more or less work on the brewers to vary the ABV and they know it - so all beers are the same price here. And their slogan is "No crap on tap", which means if you want a common fizzy yellow domestic wimpy beer, you better go somewhere else because they simply don't serve that crap.
The food was very good - not gourmet dinners, but very good pub fare.
This place is great for families and friends. It's not a romantic date night place, but it is a fun and relaxed beer and food place. We'll go back. You should check it out.

One of the best restaurants in Keene. Excellent home brewed beer and delicious food. Staff is great too. Highly recommend this place.

Not anything to write home about. The burgers are bland, tenders are soggy, and drinks are very expensive. Staff is nice tho
