Ore Dock Brewing Co Reviews

Great Beer, great atmosphere. You can't go wrong here.

Beer is good, nice atmosphere. We were there on a Friday and it was loud since they had live music. Good band though and good service

We needed a place to have a couple good beers with our dog. This was perfect. Thanks for the shade and refreshment!

Beer and atmosphere was good. The website talks about the food trucks available at different times during the week. Well my wife and I planned on doing a late dinner and drinks from Copper Crust that advertises being at the brewery from 6-9 pm on Friday nights. We showed up at 815 and the trailer was there but no one could be found to order any food and the next thing we know it was gone. So apparently if you want pizza from copper crust at ore docks do not trust what they say for food truck service. Eat somewhere else.

Best staff of any brewery in the area. Good beer too.

This has been one of my favorite spots in Marquette for years. The Ore Dock has a super awesome environment, amazing beer (Reclamation is my favorite), and great live music. It s also super family-friendly if you wanna bring kids.

Went to Quills. I was really enjoying myself and having a good time. They then came and told me to enjoy it less. It made me sad as it was my first play and I was
Really enjoying it. Beer was good

came

One of our favorite places to hang out with friends! Free popcorn, good beer, nice people. I love that downstairs is usually quieter and a great place to hang out with friends and play board games, while upstairs is a little rowdier with live music.

Love the beers and atmosphere of Ore Dock Brewing! Great patio next to the bike path!

Creative beer styles &tastes. quality brewer.best dance/music/atmosphere in town.supporter of the visual arts,with no commission fees.

What an amazing place. AMAZING beer and great people. We enjoyed Ore Dock so much that we went back several time during our last vacation even when it was out of the way. We visit every microbrewery in the midwest that we can but this is now my favorite.

It is a Marquette must.

Great service and great beer. Small outdoor section appears to be dog friendly. Cannot recomend enough!

Great beer, great atmosphere. Folks are super friendly and they had a couple gluten free options (hard Seltzer and a beer crafted to remove gluten).

Good beers and friendly atmosphere. Ended up leaving with a few souvenirs and plans to return in the near future.

Went to wedding upstarts. Could buy beer at wedding.

Ore Dock allows dogs on their quaint patio which is great! The atmosphere inside was typical of a brewery and we felt very welcome. The beers were exceptional, at least the ones we tried. Usually with microbreweries there's at least one or two that fall flat, but everything was great.

The best beer in the UP with an atmosphere to match. Here's a snapshot of my most recent visit to the Ore Dock: it isnt all that uncommon for people to play board games while they drink. I brought my own and was drinking with a friend while the local univeristy hosted free community Salsa lessons in the background. About fifty people were learning to salsa while music blared over the PA system. All the while, my opponent and I are declaring our game actions over the sound of the encouraging instructor and the shuffling of feet. On the other half of the room (we were on the second floor), they were hosting a massive used record sale. Needless to say, it was an awesome experience and a truly great place to hand out. Also, children are clearly welcome, because kids were dancing during the open mic night that followed the salsa lessons.

Great atmosphere, outdoor seating. Came here with my dog for a midday beer, no regrets.

Comfortable, welcoming space. Very good beer, great service, mellow fellow customers. Enjoyable.

We had awesome service and delicious beer at a great price!

If you are gluten free be forewarned. They have only had GF beer about 1/4 of the time, and they have no wine. I try to call before going to see if they have it that night but each time I have called it has just gone to an answering machine .

Awesome place to go and relax after work in the tap room. Great beer and great camaraderie with these stellar brewers. Would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing evening. 10 Stars, Thank You Ore Dock Brewing Company! Cheers!

Great for live music, local beer, popcorn and board games in a beautifully restored building

Great beer and great music from time to time. My friends and I would meet up on occasion and I have always had an excellent time.

Some of the best beer I've ever had. I don't like IPAs but the Reclamation is fantastic. Queen City Kolsch is out of this world.

Sat in here, while women shopped, loved it. I tried several beers, patrons were super nice.

Great beer, great music and fresh eats friday and saturday from Das Steinhaus!!

Great place for groups of any size. Good live music. Only knock is the all Belgium lineout. But still good beer.

So delicious! We had a fantastic experience here. Wonderful service, even better beer. We absolutely loved the Bada Bing (cherry infused kolsch) that was casked and tapped. Absolutely unique and mindblowingly delicious.

Good beers and bartenders! Great prices, $4 to $5 for a pint of beer brewed in house. They don't serve food but they have a food truck that parks out front in the evenings several nights a week. Check it out!

Cozy little brewery with a nice selection of beers.

Great venue for live music, and the beer is GREAT. My favorite brewery in town hands down. The porter is my personal favorite beer, but the their menu changes up a lot. Oh, did I mention free popcorn??

Cool place, but for a craft brewery, the beers are sub-par. Beer lovers should find somewhere else.

Pretty good beers. Friendly bartenders. Usually has good music. Very cool upstairs bar.

Another local gem. Two floors of seating and bars. Plenty of entertainment, from TVs to live acts. Wide selection of beers. Friendly staff. Don't miss it.

Nice atmosphere nice service really wasn't fond of their beer. Their popcorn was delicious they had clean bathrooms. Parking was free on Sunday but I bet hard to get through the week. Upstairs is not wheelchair accessible but a very nice place to drink and dance

Fantastic brewery with an impressive set up for live music. Plus, they had a beer called Brut Spring Street. Born to bubble. Gotta love it.

Great beers and a nice variety. The Ore Dock Porter is my personal favorite. The building is really nice with a laid back lounge upstairs and the staff there is very friendly. Also, I have to mention that the growlers are super cool. They look great sitting on your bar even when there's nothing in them. Highly recommended.

Liked the beer & like most of Marquette, the atmosphere is unreal..I'd say I'm charmed. The UP's respect for cultural heritage & historic preservation with a sometimes hip twist to it's flavor will keep me coming back..

Bartender was not friendly. For being a Sunday and not busy, there should be no reason for it. Being the first time here, probably will not be back!

Great beer! Awesome staff in a friendly, relaxed environment

Best gathering place in Marquette. Great staff too!

Very nice ! Well put together.
Only one complaint kinda, I realize it is a brewery, that being said.
Not everyone that enjoys going out to see a band or just hang out drinks.
Would be great to see some kind of other options. Pepsi products would be nice.
Not sure if they need a special license for this or not ?
But otherwise, Very nice establishment ! Next time I go I will remember to bring my own.

I've been coming to the Ore Dock for 3 years. It's always a great time! Great brewery, great staff, great events, family friendly, etc... They host a bunch of events, including Angry Bear, and have board games onsite to play, along with free popcorn! Highly recommended!

A spacious and comfortable atmosphere! Easy descriptions about each beer helps you pick but know you can sample any before buying.

This is always a amazing venue! We held our bridal shower here. Lizzie was so helpful and kind! The day before was the UP beer fest and the ore dock was packed. Lizzie was there the day after helping make sure the venue was ready for a bridal shower. The ore dock went above and beyond! This is always has been one more my favorite places in marquette and will always be extra special for the bridal shower that we held in the upstairs!

Nice place (only the downstairs was open when we were there) with great beer and friendly service.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. There is parking across the street. They do not have food but encourage you to order delivery-some places even offer a discount. The beers were tasty. We didn't buy beer to go but found it in local stores.

Great beers and entertainment. Always a win going here.

Perfect fit with Marquette. Great beer, great atmosphere. A place to relax and recharge.

We really liked this local brewery. The beer was good and cleverly named. Free popcorn and friendly bartender. How can you go wrong?

The Reclamation India Pale Ale is my favorite, with a nice flavor from the hops, yet nicely smooth and balanced. I had a flight of beers, and also recommend Uncle Drew s Flying Machine - a hazy pale ale, and the Electric Jelly (a lovely sour fruited Berliner Weiss). The place has a nice vibe. Good service. Worth checking out.

Great staff and good beer. Have a coffee shop feel but with beer. Thanks for all the hospitality.

Excellent beer. The sassion was favorite. Good flight of beer.

Great beer, great vibes, great people. What more do you need!!!

This place represents what's good about Marquette and the U.P. in general; it welcomes all people in a friendly atmosphere. It is a great place to go if your are local or a tourist, and there are always a variety of original great beers to choose from that are made on site.

Black cherry breakwater is a yummy seltzer here. Dogs are allowed to go into the shaded area. Great service and atmosphere.

Cool place, tasty beer, friendly staff and cards against humanity.

From a beer aficionado. Excellent beer and atmosphere. They don't serve food but there was a food truck parked in the front and you are welcome to bring / order food in.

Just had a wonderful time at Ore Dock Brewing Co today. Our server was on point! He really made this visit here awesome!

Great beer selection. Friendly staff and the Smelted pizza truck is a bonus! Delicious drinks and pizza!

Loved this place and the bartender, Greyson, I believe, was great. Everything. He recommended was fantastic and he didn t mind letting us stay to finish our drinks while he did his closing work.

Really busy. Had to wait a little but it was worth it. This place has really good brews. Highly recommend

Only take out right now with the Rona but got a Crowler (32 oz. can) of Bramble and Rose... awesome. Went really good with a dark chocolate treat from 231 West. Support your local brewer in these tough times, you'll enjoy it!

Great beers, fantastic space upstairs for live shows or larger groups.

Great spot to hang and enjoy some really unique brews
We were motorcycling so we had to exercise some self control but these folks made it tough
Loved the flavor profiles.
Dreamweaver really hit the spot, and my GF loved the Shandy.
Service team was super. Thanks Ore-Dock. A tip of the hat from Milwaukee.

We went there on a pilgrimage this weekend to see the place that's caught our eye (and taste buds while traversing the UP ).
Completely worth the drive and almost worth moving for .
Really loved the location, beautiful big building! The beer selection delivered in styles and flavors. Really enjoyed Breakwater too, their hard seltzer : one in blackberry onea in cherry. The beer flight really tempted me in so many other directions. Got some great swag to rep when we are south of the bridge. there is the Burger Bus that frequents for food. We didn't get the chance to try it this time because we had already gone for dinner elsewhere. Lots of great restaurants in the area. Really enjoyed hanging out at this Brewery. I know if I lived in Marquette, I would be a regular here!
Reclamation is a very sessionable beer. I really like Berzerker, but I like ipas. Free popcorn is very thoughtful! Everyone working was very friendly and helpful. The UP it's lucky to have them! If you go here, you're among the best up there!

Great beers at a great price. Also one of the most Covid conscious places I have been to in the U.P. with nice outdoors seating and mask procedures.

Great ambiance. They have fast become a tent-post in the Marquette community, hosting events multiple nights a week and no-cover live music most Fridays and Saturdays. Blackrocks has the better beer, Ore Dock the atmosphere.

Absolutely amazing brews! Ruby Waves should be your first choice if you ever stop by!
