The Whitechapel Projects Reviews

Was just driving back home to Asbury when I caught this place out the corner of my eye, so glad i stopped in!!! Everyone was super friendly, and the vegan banh mi was great!

Awesome brewery with great beer selections in a very cool old factory. Tons of space both inside and out and very attentive staff. Can see this place blowing up in the summertime.

Just went to check it out real quick, the atmosphere is perfect quick meet up with the friends. Can't wait to go in and try their menu.

What an amazing job with the space! Service is wonderful and beers are much better than the offerings in Asbury Park. Can't wait for it to be summer to utilize the outside!

This was quite possibly the WORST dining experience I have ever had. I have come here before and had a decent meal, and was even excited to come, but today I left angry because of how horrendous everything was. It started off by no one coming over to give us menus (we had to wave our arms around to get someone to get them). Then when I went to order, I was told that they ran out of 5 of their food options...it was 6:30 on a Saturday. There is no reason they should be out of the minimal things that are on the menu. Then I was told that they did not have a cocktail menu and I was secretly given the old one. When my cocktail came, there was very little (if any) alcohol arrived all. But it doesn t stop there...they serve their beer in a wine glass (which changes up the flavor of the beer entirely) and made it taste very strange. When we received our food, my girlfriend s food was not made correctly (she just asked for no olives) and my burger was well done when I asked for it to be medium rare. I would say the only redeeming quality of this meal were the fries and the fact that they have games to play during your ridiculously long wait for service. To top off this horrible meal, it was over $65! If I could give this place no stars, I would. I am very disappointed and will not be back.

If you get Kristen as a waitress you know your night will be better than you deserved. 10/10 would definitely recommend to a friend.

New edition to Long Branch Beach area. Nice hang out spot that's has a very large outdoor area to hang out. Love how they kept the old factory structure and built the establishment inside of it. They have a stage so look for some live bands performing in the future. Their porter beer 8.2% brewed in house is very good. First micro brewery serving food in NJ that I known of.

Visited White Chapel Projects for an Upstart Garden event. I tried 4 of their own beers and order 2 of them. The American Ale was fantastic and I also like the IPA Citra. The bar tender recommended that I try the Smiles from another brewery based upon what I told him i liked in the other 2 beers. Another winner! The place is really nice. Despite being very large with 2 large outdoor "garden areas" this place is going to be packed during the summer so go before time so you can get in.

Excellent food, service, beer, and drinks. We have been several times and the food is extremely consistent. The poutine fries and Mississippi roast sandwhich are dynamite. Also had the 1/2 roasted chicken special. Chicken was incredible! Perfectly cooked. We went back the following Saturday and got it again. Great additon to Long Branch.

January & February '19. Unique space. Welcoming. Interesting craft beer & menu. Talented artists. Should be interesting to see how they grow & refine themselves. IMO need to turn off house music when live music is playing.

Had the Double IPA... Very tasty and didn't have the bite.that you would come to expect from a Double IPA.. That was all they had, however. They were out of beer due to an unexpected popular soft opening.... Fire pit in the Courtyard and a Hot Toddy , would have been ideal for the chilly January evening... I will definitely be back to try all the beers they have ... Excited to try their Saisons!!!

I was really looking forward to going to this new brewery in the neighborhood although was extremely disappointed. The staff is inexperienced and inattentive. No directions or explanations about the place. There are multiple different sections but you can t order certain drinks/ beers depending on which section you are in. I attempted to order food inside to sit outside. The bartender told me I can only order food outside. I go outside, they say I can only food inside. Disorganized to the extreme. Then, when we closed our tab, she gave us THREE different bills (only one was ours). Also, beers weren t that good. I gave two stars only because the food is pretty tasty.

Meh. Overpriced food that wasn't worth it. Overpriced cocktails. I won't be going back.

this place is going to be fire once the weather gets warm. the space is amazing. pizza oven in the back and lots of room for music and arts. the beer has a ways to go but thankfully guest taps and full bar.

Well before I start this review it should be noted that this place is under new ownership since January of 2020. With that said, we came here the summer of 2019 and have a great experience. Great food and great since.

Now summer of 2020 the experience is totally different. Terrible service and terrible food. Long story short. Had to send back my burger 2x and other food items lacked flavor and basic seasoning. The services was uncaring and each time i was left calling the for my server to come to our table. I personally had to ask for the manager, but was left with a feeling that our issues feel on deaf ears after talking to him. Even after sending back our over cooked burger for the 2nd time, management never even bother to check how things turned out the second time around. Our server too didnt even bother neither to see if our food came out to our liking.

Anyhow, I've been to this place a handful of times with the old ownership with great things to say, but as of today, I cant say the same.

Multiple friends have been telling me about this place. Tell me the food, beer,soda,bread all made fresh every day. I finally went last night and I was pleasantly surprised. Lots of room, great atmosphere, very friendly people ,a stage inside and outside, I would love to see this place on a Friday night or weekend. I ordered a grilled chicken cob sandwich w/ fries, out of this world. The chicken was juicy & tender & the fries were excellent. Around spectacular, great job, a round of applause. I highly recommend this place, there ginger soda , loved it.

Love this place! Great beers, great people! One of the places that you have to go! Wonderful food, super chill atmosphere.

Great Space. Inviting, knowledgeable servers, Great Burger & Fresh Cut Fries were a surprise . 5 Craft Beers. Tried a Flight and the Pale Ale was memorable.
Cab Wine was very good the night before. Worth coming back. Try now before the summer crowds come.

Great place! Super cool vibe, great food, and really good beer. We liked our poutine appetizer a lot! The Oktoberfest altbier was outstanding, though we were sad to learn the keg was kicked of their delicious sounding Porter. Husband had a flambee that he really enjoyed and I was pleased with my Cobb Sandwich.

It was a nice ambiance. Look at the menu beforehand if you want food to see if there is something you like.

Plenty of room inside and outside. Good selection of food and beers. Recurring art and vendor exhibits. The perfect place for summer!

This is the place to be this summer. Have been here multiple times since it has opened. I will say this past Friday night the outdoor bartenders were jerks for no apparent reason but outside of that less than stellar experience have always had a great time. Food menu is affordable and is outside the norm in terms of bar food. Ingredients are all homemade and the menu is always changing and fresh. Outdoor seating is beautiful and the interior of the restaurant is cool! If you enjoy Porta but want a better atmosphere to beat the weekend tourists and Asbury crowds volia!

It was our first time Long Branch and this restaurant with the outside seating was amazing. The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. Thank you for the warm welcoming and great food

Great beer, Awesome/friendly employees, and really cool atmosphere!

This place is excellent. A very large space that follows social distancing protocols. The food is excellent and service friendly. We felt safe and comfortable. Overall a great experience.

This place was great. The beers were excellent. We had the clam sandwich and mussels.... completments to the chef. Get here before the summer !

Very impressed by the food! The beer was a hit or miss, and thought the cocktails were a little over-priced. There was very easy parking and a super cool atmosphere. Excited to see Whitechapel grow!

New management and chef have improved the food which was already good but it s top notch now. They organized the tent outside to make people more comfortable. It is not an inexpensive meal with drinks but everything was very good and top notch.

Food was delicious. They had none of their beers on tap.... Kind of disappointed but understand for being new.

I love the mood here . It turns me good, it turns my live.

Never again. The order was saturated in salt and seasonings, and not safe for consumption. Although I recieved a full refund and a less than adequate apology. TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE.

A great space for crowds! Beer was off, and limited in selection. Staff was attentive, crowd was unusual. This place has great potential but has a ways to go.

Just go in, reviews dont mean anything. You can't not love this place! And support local. Great people

Very cool place great Courtyard
In the front only problem is it's winter and you can't use it bar areas nice restaurant areas really nice one other problem they've been open for 7 weeks and they only have three beers on tap

Limited menu but I really enjoyed my meal and the beer ! Really nice, upbeat ambiance.

Great food. Beer is hit and miss, but they have added Brotherton and Backward Flag tot he options. Also have great craft drinks.

Live music is a great addition, but the must add some sound dampening material in the area where the music is.

I watched for the years it took the WCP to be built and it was worth it. The space is unique and inviting and so is the staff. I hope they never change their warm friendly vibe. The beers are great and the menu is diverse and creative. There is art, music, games to play, books to browse, people to watch and again...tasty beers to drink...as well as wine and cocktails. Go!...Now! before the summer crowds overwhelm the area. And they will.

Really good creative food!Excellent service and plenty of quality beer and wine choices.Very unique place! Love the industrial artsy vibe!

No sanitation! I sat & ate a meal & didn t see them sanitize a single table. Our table even had food on it from the last patrons. Bartenders never put their masks on passed their chins. Manager was present & clearly wasn t enforcing any sanitation standard.

I am normally a fan of this place but this is really disappointing.

I dont know what changed but my 1st experience at White Chapel back in December was amazing. I give it 4 stars.. The food was delicious, portions were great. I went last weekend the food wasnt the same, didnt finish our meals. Total disappointment

The Poutine was DELICIOUS!! Great selection of beer and mixed drinks. I enjoyed the Zephyr! And my friend clam sandwich with slaw and fries was crispy crunchy and yummy!!! I highly recommend!

WCP is a legit spot. It's a harmonious combination of great beer, solid cocktails and amazing food in an extremely cool atmosphere. And I'm not talking about your garbage bar food...their dishes posses the flavor and creativity that you would find in a fine dining establishment. NJ has been waiting for a place like this forever and glad it's finally arrived. I will definitely be back...like this weekend.

If you like good service (thanks Lee and team), fresh air, fresh food and cold beer (there's a full bar too) this is your new summer spot for lunch!

Really good food, have good vegan options too, lovely artsy ambiance , great customer service

Great space for events and shows with separate bar and dining area. They offer 5 beers brewed on site. I only tried the 3 IPAs and all were good especially the pale ale which paired well with the lamb merguez/carmelized onion/pita sandwich. Good art and independent music vibe outside of Asbury Park. Free ample parking (not summer yet). Friendly staff and excellent service. I will definitely be a regular here.

Great to have our own brewery in our town, the beer perfect ! And of course the perfect ambience !

Great place to hang out and have a drink and something to eat!!!

The staff at WCP is stacked with seasoned professionals that you might recognize from successful shore restaurants and bars. The beer is made in house by passionate brewers and goes hand in hand with the menu prepared by the talented kitchen staff. The building itself is an industrial beauty and I'm sure everyone will agree. After the many years it took to open, this place is a destination everyone should add to their list.

Great outdoor scene with a nice ocean breeze. There was live music while I was there.

I had a wonderful experience here but also my food critic wifeybabygirl did not enjoy her half baked dessert ! P.s. IPA's an stout were amaaaazing!

Love the poutine and the craft beer and whiskey special!

# This is better than the Asbury Park brew pubs by far. Why waste your money on parking ? Tons of FREE parking ! Interior is wonderful. We were a little early for the band but the room where they will play was large. The beer was excellent as was the very attentive staff. Can't wait to go back in May##

Came for the soft opening. Great vibes, really cool backyard area with a lot of room. The food was great and the beers as well, this place is going to be a hit in the summer!

What a great place to grab a beer and some food. Loved all the beers I tried, good mix of different styles and I even really liked their galaxy ipa( I hate IPAs). Porter was great, not overly hopped. The food was fantastic, great mix of foods from a traditional Hungarian bread covered in cheese, poutine, to a pork belly bao. There is something for everyone on the menu. They have a full bar if beer is not your thing. The coolest part is that it feels like 4 different bars that just happen to be in the same space, had a live band in one room, a courtyard area, outdoor beer garden, and then a traditional feeling bierhall. Even with the live band you could still have a conversation in the bar area because its separate. Highly recommend to anyone!
