Surly Brewing Co. Review

Cool atmosphere. Good beers and food, but kind of pricey.

one of the nicest breweries. great beer garden, tasty food

This place is pretty stunning, both in terms of its size and presence, but also it s gorgeous amenities, awesome food options, and most importantly great beer!

Great servers. Delicious beers, recommend the firery hell is very tasty if you like spice

Awesome location, great beer, wonderful people and the tour was the icing on the cake. Thank you all for making our first visit a memorable one!

Super friendly and well informed staff, great food and awesome beer...

Fantastic beer with great beer garden vibe. Good selection of food that is quickly served upon ordering!

The Surley taproom is the largest one I've ever been to! I had lunch outside on the patio. I was surprised at how much variety was on the menu- many offerings that I've not often seen, especially at a brewery. I did appreciate that. I had the venison sausage and pork prosciutto. The venison was delicious and flavorful. The prosciutto was adequate, my only lament that the portion was not greater. To drink, I order Surley Rose. I enjoyed it. The reason I give Surley 4 stars is because of the prices. It's more expensive than I was expecting.

Surly was part of the reason we decided to pass through Minneapolis, we weren t disappointed with the beer or the brewery. Great selection of beer and some hard to find options in the tap room that made it even better. We did the facility tour and got to see the day to day operations which was pretty cool as well. Worth going out of the way for.

Brisket sandwich was awesome and the only problem was picking which beer to drink

Colby was amazing. Entergetic and knowledgeable. Soooooo much beer on the tour.

Great selection of beers. Excellent food and fun atmosphere

This place lived up to the hype. It's huge and I already was a fan of their craft beer, but still found some new ones to try. We went upstairs to order pizza and it didn't disappoint. It was a rainy day so couldn't enjoy the exterior, but even in the rain there were many who didn't seem to mind getting wet. If you like craft beer, this place is a must stop.

Excellent service, food and of course, beer. One of my favorite places to get drinks/appetizers in the twin cities.

Good (not great) no-frills food and community dining downstairs ($$). Trendy, wood-fired pizza upstairs (meh). While the beer is generally very good, the pizza ($12 - $15 10 inch) offerings are a bit prescious.
The whole operation lacks the sincerity and enthusiasm of bygone days. Just sell the place to InBev and be done with it.

One of the premier brew pubs on the planet. They know their stuff and show it off in great environment.

Your menu says you serve pizza charred, you should use the word burned. With such a thin crust, you must not be rotating them fast enough in your wood fire oven. But I give your beer a 5 !

The beer is phenomenal, and very reasonably priced. They also have a much broader selection of beer than most breweries, which means that you've got a good chance of finding something you'll enjoy. When I've been, the staff has been friendly, and it's always clean and comfortable.

My only real complaint is that the food has been rather hit-or-miss for me. The Surly Burger was a definite miss. For a $12 burger, it was very bland tasting. On the other hand, I really enjoyed the Catfish, and a lot of the appetizers/sides have been wonderful. I definitely recommend the skillet cornbread to any cornbread fans.

The food is pretty good, but let's be honest, if Surly Brewing is your favorite spot, you really need to check out some more spots.

Love it. Probably my favorite local brew. Food is phenomenal, but pricy. Always packed, always a wait for a table, but airways worth it. I do miss the old smaller brewery, but love that it's becoming nationally popular.

Being a fan of Surly, getting the chance to visit was a dream. The space is absolutely massive, with a great indoor area to eat. We also made our way outside, to the absolutely beautiful back patio area. Highly recommend if you're looking for delicious beers, delicious food, and killer atmosphere. Thank you, Surly!!

Always an enjoyable experience. Helpful staff, accommodating to the ever growing child population and the beer selection is nothing short of amazing! Cheers

Huge beer selection. Very open, very clean. The menu looked great.

Wide variety of good beer. Solid and interesting menu to help you enjoy an evening with friends. May have to wait a bit (but you can have a beer while waiting) and parking can sometimes be a challenge. Worth it.

Great spot to come for a game and some drinks! The drinks are pretty good and well-priced. Some of the stuff on this menu is really good. Such good food, such good drinks. Probably the best place to hangout. Everyone at this place is so cheerful. The happy vibe of this place makes it a really good experience.

Great brew hall. Requires a reservation at a table to go inside.

Please bring back the Surly burger!! The new ones are good but the Surly burger is one of the best I ve ever had and love going back for it!!!

You get branded as you enter for some reason. I was drawn here by the hype and was underwhelmed. I'd recommend going during an off time because it's a long wait during peak times.

Surly is a go-to staple in our dining out, especially when friends and family are visiting from out of town. Great beer and food, both in the beer hall and upstairs at the new Surly Pizza, and the staff is always on top of their game. During peak dinner hours, be prepared to wait for a table in the beer hall but there is plenty to hold you over between beer and food upstairs.

Great beer & great place to have it. Beer hall is huge, but somehow always fills up. We finally started getting Surly in Kansas City which is awesome. Great food here as well. Just checked out the Courtney Barnett concert as part of their summer series. They set the area up proper with plenty of drink access and tons of food trucks. Stage faced west which is awesome for the crowd, but sucks for the artists.

Super selection of beers, with great plates to pair. Lots of space inside, plus nice digs outside as well.

One of the best breweries I've been to. I live in Denver so I am experienced. Great food, great beer. I'm impressed.

Amazing ambience, great place and just too good beers. Coffee bender is the way to
Go for Stout lovers... Furious won t disappoint you if you love IPA.
Enjoy the ambience!

Amazing place. Great beer and food. Mecca for craft beer geeks.

Why do you bring the sh_t beers to the concerts?! I m begging you no one wants this p_ss! You can do so much better! I know! I come a few times a month!

Excellent beer and to die for roasted cauliflower with preserved lemon zest and Aleppo.

Awesome beer & food! Luke was the Best server!!!! I told him that I didn't like beer and he brought me a couple samples. I ended up ordering a glass of the Surly Cynic and really enjoyed it!!!!

Amazing beer. Industrial/rustic taproom, gastropub menu.

This place was very cool inside and the chicken sandwich was great. I had an IPA and it was solid as well.

Fun, interesting, and with great food!! Ps try their weekend brunch!!

Good beer and good pizza it doesn't get any better than this

Had a great first visit. Felt they were watching protocols for Covid but still making people feel comfortable. The pizza was fabulous as were the wings and the brat. Highly recommend this place.

the worst service. the servers were rude to my whole family. we came here after a funeral and we will never be going here again. one server has short man syndrome. if i could i would give it 0 stars.

Great beer. Great food. Great atmosphere. Very friendly and professional staff. A bucket list destination you don't want to miss. We will be back.

Good food and service. Enjoyed every beer I tried. Pretty packed place even on a Monday night.

Awesome tour experience. Rich history and a d great overall tour. We had Andrew as a tour guide and he was great. Knowledgeable, fun, and entertaining!

Never been there Seen warp zone on the news way to promote drinking to children

Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide with a passion for elaborating Surly s mission and the mastery which has taken years to perfect! I will absolutely recommend this tour to any craft beer enthusiast!

Good beer goes without saying, but we really keep going back for the food. The atmosphere is nice too, but we've been impressed with all of our food orders. My girlfriend and I went on a bit of a burger rampage for a few months trying to find the best burgers in the city, and this is in my top 5 that we tried for sure. The charcuterie, mussels, and smoked meats... all delicious, but the BURGER guys. Pair that with your beer of choice (I prefer an axe man, but they're all pretty solid) and you're in for a good time. Slainte

Beautiful scenery, great beer, delicious food, great service. Barely any lines to be served. Dog friendly.

Very fun place. Something for everyone. Food was very good and the beer was outstanding. Waitstaff are very friendly and attentive.

Really good food, very reasonably priced! Awesome nighttime atmosphere and a fun place to visit :D

Great food that is served quickly. Large selection of beer. Huge patio and lots of seating.

I have spent many nights at Surly Brew. Not only is their beer fantastic and their food worthy of national recognition from Mr. Guy Fieri himself, but the atmosphere is something for you to find elsewhere in Minnesota. Last night I got a brick oven flat bread pizza. Sure, it's a little expensive but that's basically brewery culture.

Bo at the front gate was awesome!!! He went above and beyond to help out!!

This is a brewery staple in my book! The staff has always been friendly. I haven t toured it (yet), but have been here more than a dozen times. They have a great space outdoors in the warmer months.

Not only do they have many rotating taps, the pizza is an amazing addition.

Awesome beer!! Great food!! Fantastic customer service!!!

Out of all the local breweries, by far the best. Great food, awesome location and lots of sitting areas. Oh, and the beer, of course!

Excellent Food to Go! BBQ was delicious as were all the side dishes. Top notch meals and great beer at Surly. Will be back soon!

Great beer- great food- one of the best Reuben sandwiches I've had in a long time. We sat outside and loved the whole experience.

Great atmosphere, modern. Long line for beer but when really fast. Fission, Ctira Xtra, Coffee Bender highly reccomend.

Food regularly changes, so the one page food menu is different from one visit to the next. Did not have beer because I was there at a weekday lunch. On other visits (not lunch, when I could have a beer), the beer was excellent. Server was very attentive and checked back often.

What a Blast!! Great Beer and good times had by all!!

I rarely take the time to write reviews but Surly deserves one. Top 3 pizza in the Twin Cities along with Burch & Black Sheep. If you liked Young Joni, get ready to have an upgraded version here.

Amazing food and the beer is killer. Cool spot and atmosphere they have too. My friend works there and loves her job. Keep it up!

Went on a tour in May and hung out at the outside sitting area by the fire pits waiting on our table. We had an awesome time, food was good. Atmosphere was awesome. Going back this weekend 7/18.

Hands down one of the coolest brewery tours I ve ever been on! The tour guide was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. It ends with sampling 4 beers ANNNND a free drink token for the bar! We stopped down to the bar for our beer and then had an appetizer and a dessert, the giant pretzel and the strawberry torte. Both were AMAZING! Surly was definitely one of the coolest places we ve been.

A mecca of beer. It is a brewery/taproom/restaurant all in one. The decor is a testament to detail and planning. Of note, parking can be a bit tough. Great location otherwise with easy access near the Green Line light rail station.

Our all time favorite!

Amazing beers, with a huge selection and variety. Amazing food as well.

You can't really go wrong here no matter what you order!

Also, the staff here goes above and beyond! We recently got some engagement photos done here and the manager went out of his way to accommodate us and give suggestions.

We absolutely love this brewery, and are constantly reminded why it's our favorite every time we return.

Fantastic tour very imformative a good time was had by all

Food was great! Atmosphere was amazing! Beer was incredible! Definitely my new watering hole!

Great beer, great food, great atmosphere-inside and out, and great service. Surly has it all!

Beautiful space and good beer! Love the decor and the food is in point. I recommend ordering half pours for the table to share

The tour was amazing, our guide Colby was knowledgeable and kept things light and fun. Best brewery tour I ve ever been on, can t wait to go back and try all the different beers!

Excellent beer choices, the sour beer is my favorite! Although the wait times can get really long during peak hours
