Bridgewater Brewery in Welland

Great brews with a good variety. Good food and a decent portion for the price. Prices in general are okay. Staff are very friendly and the kitchen is fairly quick. Clean facility. Clean washrooms. Huge patio and nice interior. Merchandise for sale as well. Mainly community seating. Free WiFi. No credit card surcharge. Free parking around back. Can be difficult to find when busy. Time limited street parking available. Free parking across the street though not part of the property. Do so at your own risk.

Went 2x this week , first visits ever. So clean. Great staff. Highly recommend the pizza and pint happy hour. Look forward to next visit.

Food was excellent. Loved the vibe. Enjoyed the beer. Izzy was a very prompt, professional and friendly server

Love the whipped feta and rose mussels

Excellent food, beverages and service!!

The food and the service is excellent! Highly Recommend.

Love the new menu! Cajun Chicken Club was dynamite, as well as Beet Salad. Great atmosphere! Great service! Looking forward to trying some of the other new stuff.

Husband and I attended for our first time, on a friends recommendation: could not have been more impressed and pleased ! Tasha, our server was polite and welcoming, explained the menu and beer recommendations. We enjoyed mussels, salad and fish fry - with house made grilled bread ;mussels were fabulous and the fish was crispy and light , the fries were excellent. We tried the Liftbridge Lager- delicious We left with our appetites, sufficiently sufficed; And took home a sticky toffee dessert and a couple of tall boy Liftbridge Lagers Kudos to Bridgewater owners and staff !

My friend and I had shared a peach and prosciutto pizza and an appetizer platter! Love this place every time I go. I always try something different and it never disappoints:)

Very nice place! Staff was knowledgeable about the beers and had great recommendations. Will be back the next time were in the area for sure

Great food and great service. Isabella was our server. She had our drinks replaced before they even were empty! Very knowledgeable as well about all the different types of beer. Pizza was crispy and tasty and the olive appetizer was incredible! 5 stars!!

Amazing place! Dynamite food and drinks. The staff is incredible!! A must try!

Great beer and food! Definitely worth stopping by if you re in welland.

Beautiful little restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. One of my all time favorites!

Had an awesome time tonight. Food was amazing. The live band and atmosphere was fantastic. Our server Charlotte was very attentive and helpful with our ordering. Will be back for sure. Update went back again tonight with 20 people and had Charlotte again serving all of us and we had a great night. Such a well run restaurant great food great music excellent service.

Great food, amazing cockatils and friendly staff. Had a great experience and would recommend going to this establishment.

great food and great atmosphere. celebrated my birthday there and had a great night !

Great atmosphere!! Excellent beer. Especially loved the Night Shift (hazy IPA with a nice finish) but all were delicious.

I was very pleased with this place. Our group of 8 attended last night for a milestone celebration. Quite busy for a Monday night , which was really nice to see. Our server, Renee, was awesome. Very accommodating and always a smile on her face. Food was excellent. Good portion sizes and good value for the price. This place was recommended to me by a friend and I wont be hesitating to do the same, moving forward. Even met the owner on our way out . I dont give restaurants a 5 but this place deserves it. Its a real gem!!!!

Bridgewater Brewery is the perfect spot if you re looking for a great atmosphere and good vibes! Every time I visit, I m blown away by the welcoming ambiance and the incredible selection of craft beers they have on tap. Whether you re a fan of hoppy IPAs, rich stouts, or something lighter, they have something for everyone. Their food menu is just as impressive the perfect pairing for a cold beer! It s clear that a lot of thought and care goes into both their brewing and their food. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable, making the experience even better. If you re in the area and want to kick back, enjoy a delicious meal, and try some quality local brews, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommend!

Been here multiple times, the different food and beer Ive had have all been very good. Nice atmosphere as well.

The Peach Pizza is a must try ! Loved the beers they have to offer as well. Great Ambience - Both Indoors and Back Patio! Had a good time with my friends..

Never thought peaches would be so delicious on pizza. Deep fried stuffed olives are a must try!!

Just had one of the best reubens sandwiches Ive ever had. Delicious. And waitress Charlotte was so nice and attentive. Great atmosphere.

Great Brew Pub! Service and food is excellent. Nice atmousphere. They have a great heated patio out back overlooking the river.

Excellent beers. Great food. Wonderful location.

Great restaurant, great food, great beer. They make this really nice thin crust wood oven pizza.

What a great place:) good food , good ambiance and great staff love the place

Great Service! Large portions! Everything was great!

My family and I visited on a holiday Monday. It was decently busy, about 2/3 of the tables on the patio occupied but it took just about 30 mins from when I arrived at the restaurant/brewery until I got a beer, which is sooooo long to wait with a kid! The service was slow, but improved as we sat there. Ill be back to try more food but the beer was mediocre, brewed to appeal to a larger crowd, opposed to a craft beer lover.

We love eating here, we go a few times a month, never had a bad meal, staff and owner are always awesome, we love the atmosphere, many restaurants come and go, I can see this place lasting forever!!!

Amazing atmosphere, service and food. I highly recommend the pizzas and fish tacos! Bon appetite!

Went here for the first time tonight, great food, service, beer, and a beautiful patio out back.

This place is epic. And its exactly what Welland needs. Amazing craft brews & drinks. Beautiful food. On a nice day the patio rocks. On a not so nice day - patio is still wonderful as theres coverage and heating. Bottom line - these folks are all about the details and I LOVE that. Exceptional. Keep up the great work!

Our server Kelly was amazing. Very friendly and attentive. We were out on the patio for live music. Our fire table ran out of propane and the owner went to buy more propane without question. Can t beat service like that. Thanks for the great service and an even better evening!

One of our fav spots in Welland! Their BBQ pizza is to die for.

Great food, great beer, good service.

Bridgewater was an absolutely fantastic experience for my partner and I. We decided to check it out on a whim on a Saturday night. Despite the fact that they were almost completely at capacity, the staff were running like a well oiled machine. Our server Christina was a champion, she was extremely knowledgeable and an absolute delight. She checked on us frequently but never obtrusively. I ordered a flight and everything I ordered was great, with the Black Top lager being a new favourite of mine. While we enjoyed the back patio which is gorgeous, we noticed they had a nice green area with a cornhole board, how fun! Despite it being extremely busy, food came out fresh, beautifully presented and tasted even better than it looked. Im not one to rave on Google but the folks at Bridgewater brought their A-game and we have a new favourite destination in Welland!

Weight staff was very slow and inattentive. We had to ask for food two hours later and it came cold! Plus a forgotten meal to! Do not recommend eating here food is also not great!!!!!

Had a wonderful meal out with my family. It s a great find! The pizza was delicious and their sweet potato fries and fried chicken sandwich was great. Beer and mixed drinks are solid and the patio is extremely nice. We had all 7 beers on tap and all of them were good examples of what type they were representing. We will be back and id highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to eat and grab a drink. The service was very prompt and polite. Yes the place is pet friendly.

Went to this Brewpub on Saturday with some friends ....Beer, Service and my Steak and Frites were truly exceptional.

Place looks amazing food for the most part is incredible, amazing unique menu option great vibe friendly staff

Comedy Show was sooooo much fun...... Awesome people, awesome team members, awesome customers, awesome bar - bartenders are sooooo good - great cocktails .... Cosmos and delicious local wines available.....awesome freshly brewed beer made by a very talented on site brewer Alex.... Chef Matt and his culinary team are so talented and make delicious food Pizza chefs are so good preparing and cooking these gourmet pies in the brick oven..... The patio in the back is beautiful with views of the water ....... Corn hole game is available for free to play .... Manager Andrew Mercnik is fantastic The owners are sooooo nice..... Melissa Nick...... thanks for creating this amazing gathering place in the heart of the Niagara Region.... one year in....and counting..... Make it a great day at Bridgwater Brewery

Mine and my wifes dinner & cocktails at Bridgewater were an absolute triumph! The attentive and friendly staff, especially our server, Renee, made us feel right at home and her service was impeccable. Each dish was a masterpiece showcasing the sous chefs (Connor) talent and passion. A special shoutout is warranted for Connor for creating such extraordinary flavours and for coming out to chat with us!The presentation of the food was just as impressive, making our experience a delight for both our mouths and eyes. We were thoroughly impressed by Bridgewater and will be returning! Thank you to the entire Bridgewater team for an unforgettable evening! 11/10 recommend!

Great spot new to the Niagara region.. not a lot around Welland so this is a lovely addition! Venue is nice. Drinks were decent, a little priceier but I pay for quality. The selection of beers is nice too. Definitely a go-to! Love the firepits and blankets.. cozy addition! Had the pleasure of speaking with Nick, the owner... great chat, super inspiring individual! I have never not seen him present getting his hands dirty himself, at his own establishment... dont see that often and glad to see it! Him and his wife have built something spectacular... good crowd, good food, good drinks, good bands, good service and all around good vibes!

Nice place! delicious cuisine!

Unbelievable atmosphere, feel at home , amazing beer, food and great bands. A lot of fun and amazing owners . Keep up the great work .

Great lunch, pizza and beers were awesome , really enjoyed the whipped feta app and Belgium Wheat

First time here and Renee our Server was amazing! She was attentive and helped us chose suitable beers for our beer sampler. The smash burgers were wicked...we considered ordering another lol. There was a live band and they were great too! Excellent first experience we will be back

Great new brewery in town with great food, great drinks & friendly & welcoming service. Glad to see a brewery in Welland that we can walk to!! We showed up with a group of 8 of us and no reservation and we only waited about 20 minutes for a table. They aren t taking reservations from the public yet, just for close family & friends. Only three beers right now but that s understandable for just Opening. The server told us that there will be 7 more coming in the next few weeks as they iron out the kinks of just opening. The food was fantastic!! Everything that came out of the kitchen looks delicious. We ordered calamari, fries, prosciutto pizza & Bridgewater pizza. Very very good. Next time will definitely try the charcuterie & mussels- it looked SO good!! The beers were also delicious! Limited selection right now as it takes time to brew beer, but wow they were all good. The key lime pie mojito and a pink lemonade cocktail (can t remember the name) were also very tasty! Definitely a must try brewery! Just keep in mind they are brand new & just opened. Have some patience & understanding when you try it as they are still getting in the swing of things. - we have been back several times since! Mussels are great, chicken sandwich is delicious! I was however disappointed with the basmati bowl. For $28 I was expecting something rich in veggies & flavour. The dish however, was mostly rice, with a small amount of cabbage slaw and a piece of salmon. The salmon was delicious and the glaze was good but it was lacking flavour and volume. A very small and underwhelming dish for the price. My boyfriend had the Mac & cheese and it was delicious! Will definitely keep going back as it has become a favourite but won t be ordering the bowl again.

We were on the bike trail coming from Port Dalhousie and stopped here for lunch. The food was great and my husband said it was the best microbrewed beer hes ever had. This restaurant is a perfect stop if you are on the bike trail, easy access off the trail just before the Welland bridge. The staff was friendly and the owner let us charge our bikes, exceptional service and food. You can dine inside this nicely decorated restaurant or out back on a shaded patio, a perfect stop after a long ride. I highly recommend this place to cyclist on the trail and to everyone looking for a great place to eat. I cant wait to have dinner here!

The Burrata is by far the best dish my husband and I have ever had! EVER! I couldn t recommend this place enough. We just happened to see it as we drove by and stopped. We couldn t be happier that we did! It s a MUST!

I wish I could rate this place up a little more. Our food was okay, and we had a good time. Lighting was decent, and washrooms were very clean. As an experience, it has two major drawbacks for me. First, the acoustics are bad. Not the worst Ive ever heard, but very difficult. And second, the price which was just a little bit high. Considering the price, a lot of little things that would not have bothered me did make a bit of a difference. Our salads for example where very fresh and extremely well put together. The vinaigrette was perfectly balanced, and everything was wonderful except the portion. There was only about a third of a bowl of salad. For the price, I think it needs to be a full portion of salad. my honey Cajun chicken sandwich was all honey, no cajun, and a crazy mess! It tasted perfectly fine, and I enjoyed it, but I would have loved a little more spice and a little less mess. The pizza looked fantastic! The crust was great, and the topping seemed hearty, but when I cut into it for my kids, it was soggy in the center. The service had been really well talked up. I was expecting great things, but there were two huge parties in there when we sat down. We got perfectly adequate service all things considered, but it wasnt the outstanding level of attention the reviews led me to expect. There were eight beers available on tap, four of which were also conveniently in the fridge. So, Ive had five of the beers currently on offer, and four out of the five were great. You can find my reviews on untappd. The tap price was completely on point, but the cans were a little expensive. You can get a experience that is just as good or better for a little less money. I would happily come in here two or three times a year, and treat myself to to go cans, if I have the money. As a restaurant lover, Im glad I did the dine-in experience once, but I wouldnt need to do it again. It seems like a place that wants to be high-end gastropub, in the middle of a farming community, and just doesnt quite make it.

PERFECT experience again! During our meal this evening my wife and I were saying to ourselves Our server is perfect for this place. but then we realized our servers have been consistently fantastic EVERY time. And then I thought a restaurant wins if a customer says that. I say Bridgewater wins! Keep it up! Welland needs more restaurants like you.

Burrata Caprese is a MUST MUST MUST have. Super cool atmosphere and very great and friendly service. We shall be back! Oh and there s beer too.

The best gourmet pub food in Welland. We got the chicken sandwich and burger for takeout and were blown away with the fresh, flavourful, massive portions! Great job Bridgewater! A must for locals and visitors to Welland!!

I had an amazing experience at Bridgewater Brewery! The service was impeccable, and the food was absolutely delicious. Their beer selection is top-notch, with something for every palate. The manager, Nick, went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Highly recommend this place for a fantastic dining and drinking experience!

Took a chance on a new place and it paid off in spades! Food was delicious, service was friendly. Great vibe. Definitely going back!

Wonderful spot in Welland. Sat in the large covered back patio during a thunderstorm and had a tasty meal. Recommend the Pork Bao Buns and IPA. Lots of atmosphere and friendly staff. Definitely a place for the community to meet up and relax, and day tourists to visit. We will be back.

What an awesome place! We have made our way here from Mississauga many times. Each time there is something new and different on the menu. Both drinks and food are excellent. The vibe here is welcoming and easy to get comfortable. Would definitely recommend this brewery to anybody passing by or in the area. Love this place!

I dont know where you found Christina, but never let her go. She was absolutely amazing and we enjoyed our evening so much. Dry ribs and lamb skewers were delicious! Well be back!

The food, the atmosphere, everything was amazing. Will be back for sure.

Hands down the best spot in Welland. The beer, food, service, and atmosphere are all excellent.

First time dining here. Good food, great atmosphere and nice wait staff. Will definitely be coming back. We have a new place to go out in welland thats worth going to.

Great service by Melissa , great food. Great beer. Love their Hombre brew my favorite 6 pack tall cans to go.

It s been years since I ve wanted to eat more simply for the taste of truly amazing food at a restaurant in Niagara. (Or Ontario period) My family is beyond impressed with the quality of food at Bridgewater. Service is good and food takes it to the stratosphere. We can t say enough about the experience of the food. The presentation, the care (which is LOST so often today) is top notch. You forget you re in Welland while you re here. Worth every penny and our new favourite spot by far. Go. Here. Now. You ll go back again.

Nice atmosphere and great service. However, beers were very disappointing. Both Session IPA and IPA were without any flavour or aroma. It needs an enormous improvement to be at the same level of some good Craft Breweries in the Niagara region.

The service was wonderful - our waitress was kind and attentive, and the food came super quick. We had the pretzel, mac and cheese, and pizza and it was all really delicious. Beer was good and it was nice to see a big range of cocktail options as well! We sat on the back patio which is a lovely little spot with some fun lawn games. Thank you!

Good, drinks, service, atmosphere are all top notch, recommend the dry ribs

They will make your wildest dream come true

Just had the most amazing blue cheese burger. Service and food was amazing.

Great beer selection, impressive food options, especially pizza from the wood fired oven, and great service. Highly recommend.

Garbage food. I wouldnt feed it to my dog.

Lift bridge lager and the sour are my favourites. So refreshing!!

pizza was good, Not the biggest craft beer drinker but enjoyed the lift bridge lager.

My new favourite place !!!! Beautiful space ! Excellent staff and the food is next level ! I had the shrimp tacos and they were awesome!!

Great food and beer. We had the smash burgers and liftbridge lager. Would definitely return for those. Very awkward experience out on the patio with a patron?staff? Who was huffing and puffing around in his bike shorts, swearing under his breath, trying to charge his e-bike. He did not seem to have any regard for the fact that we were customers trying to enjoy our experience there it was just very bizarre.

Shipwreck IPA + fried olives + lamb spedini = delicious.

Fantastic service, nice atmosphere and absolutely delicious food. Their pork belly Bao and pizza were killer.

Nice, clean and modern establishment with an awesome selection of in-house brewed beers that all tasted great. Their Flatbread was fantastic and all three staff members I interacted with were friendly and knowledgeable on the beers they sell. Will be back to try more beers and food.

Can t support a business where the owners give orders to their staff while drinking their faces off. Food is good, service friendly, but every time we go in, we see the same thing. Gross and unprofessional.

Server was good but the timing of the food was terrible. We ordered the mussels as an appetizer and within 5 minutes of the appetizer arriving our main courses arrived. We had barely 1/2 finished our appetizer so our mains sat getting cold while we rushed to eat the mussels. I ordered the Fettuccini Alfredo for $22 with added chicken an additional $8. The portion of pasta was very small and the added chicken breast was overcooked and dry. Overall impression was the food was overpriced and did not meet expectations. Staff were friendly and nice no complaints there but would not go back.

Bad services food was cold Manger was rude

Awful experience Food and service was unbelievably awful

A great place! Atmosphere 10, food 10! They have a wide menu with affordable prices! I loved the fried chicken burger, my friends ordered fried olives and a pizza and they loved it! But what had my heart the most was that they offered flights of craft beer! A cool one! That country cover group 10/10

Welland finally has a decent place to eat with a nice atmosphere. Just unfortunate it was downtown because as I stepped out I saw a couple druggies tweaking out sitting on the grass by the sidewalk to the canal. My only complaint. If youre going to call a burger a smash burger crisp the edges. A smash burger has to have maximum maillard effect going or its just a regular damn burger you smooshed down. The arugala mushroom pizza was surprisingly good.

Great spot! Chill atmosphere, awesome service, food is great and according to my beer loving husband, so is the beer! Appreciate all the cocktail options for beer loving spouses and friends!

Recently celebrated a 30th birthday party at bridgewater on their enclosed and heated patio. Service was great, the food was top notch and the space was the perfect size for our party of roughly 35. Would highly recommend having bridgewater host your event.

Food was great, service was excellent and attentive. Got a little loud (just how the acoustics are) and the sun can be deadly coming through the front at sunset if youre facing the street. Looking forward to checking out the patio in warmer weather!

great food and great drinks, but unfortunately its extremely under staffed and slow. i ve been here 3 times and it s the same 2 servers rushing around trying their best. not the servers fault but big mistake on management, we love coming here for the food but avoid it now because the wait times are absolutely ridiculous.

Excellent food (hot honey wings and very good fries), friendly staff, patio games and BLANKETS. Whats not to like!

Not a great experience was excited to try there jamaican jerk pizza what i recieved was not how the menu describes it as having jamaican jerk cream sauce drizzled, bocichinni cheese peppers cripsy onions and an optional spicy drizzle as it says online.. what I got was in the pic below nothing close to a jerk chicken pizza they decribe i tried it and threw it out.. when i called to complain they said i have to ask for those sauces.. no one told me that i have to ask for the sauces the make the pizza an actual jerk chickenpizza or if there was even a option when discussed. so im stuck with my NOT SO jerk chicken pizza that is litterly nothing close to jerk chicken tasting in any way, i got some peppers and some bland cut up chicken with some freakn puree b.s slapped on it no flavor at all coulda make this myself actually im gunna try and do much better !! Also no attempt to recreate it properly or effort to rectify and unhappy customer when i complained..will defn spread the word not happy..

First time here, had the pizza it was excellent. Waitress was excellent as well. Atmosphere is pleasing and the music was not loud so you hear and talk

Wish I could give less than a one star! Place use to be so much better when it initially opened. Today, the food was oily, burnt & just not upto par or able to accommodate dietary modifications.

WOW. WOW. WOW. Everything was amazing! Perfect even! Service was exceptional. Food was the best I ve had in the Niagara Region. Would definitely recommend visiting! 10/10 **********

Had a few different beers to try. Family got a wide variety of things from the menu and they were all delicious and filling! Server was knowledgeable of the beers and very nice! Got some beers to take home too!

First visit...menu had enough variety, dishes had just a little different twist which made the flavors so delicious. Service was friendly....relaxed atmosphere....really enjoyed and will definitely return.

Great food and service, friendly staff and nice atmosphere

Nice and smily staff...food not bad ..the first time i tried beef and grilled chicken humbuger ..fries is delecious

My sister and I have been a few times as well as shortly after opening . The staff was warm and attentive and the food , beer/wine selections very good. I work in service as a sommelier and didn t expect to see a huge selection of wines but I was pleasantly surprised by the local selection ( I work at a small winery so it was nice to see fellow vintners selections ). There are always growing pains however the selections of beers and food is fantastic and my friends and I feel lucky to have a new restaurant/brewery so close to our neighborhood. The owners have spared no expense in renovations as well as take time to know and speak with their patrons . The service industry has not recovered since pandemic therefore it is often difficult to staff . The staff we have met are very professional and warm. We purchased gift cards and love trying the new features . Cheers and let s support businesses that choose Welland to set up shop!

Fabulous place to go to try some local craft beer and meet some amazing staff. I was well attended to and was asked if I needed more food or drinks multiple times while I was there. They have a wide selection of delicious foods and an amazing selection of in house made beers. I highly recommend to anyone that is looking try some new beers at a decently affordable price :)

first time here, we called ahead and asked if we could bring our pooch to the patio, they set it up for us with a heater and a fireplace on the tv. Not to mention the food and drinks were amazing!!! Cheers Bridgewater! we will be back

Great place. Great vibes. Best place in Welland. Jackfish supporters, and, most importantly, they have a Veterans blend beer where proceeds go to Veterans!!!! Food is AMAZEBALLZ. Kelly is the best server ever.

An overdue date night, we were very happy with our decision to go to Bridgewater. My husband and I enjoyed our experience. He had the burger and fries and I had the pretzel and Beet salad.... delicious. The beer was good. Service was great... cant wait to go again!

Killer food, service and atmosphere. Met some friends from Toronto and we stayed just because the vibe here was so nice. Will definitely be going again and will be recommending this spot to as many people as I can.

We went there with my wife for lunch and I can t say enough for the restaurant- the owner and the staff. Excellent We will go there again and again

Perfect spot for a great meal with delicious food and craft beer! Atmosphere is great for a group or couple to enjoy themselves!

Phenomenonal food and drinks. Amazing staff, really appreciated the manager popping by just to say hi and check on how we were enjoying things- such a wonderful and welcoming touch. Can t wait to come back!

We had a chance to go to Bridgewater Brewery and were very impressed! First off, it is great that Welland now has its own brew pub. The initial vibe was very positive, we were greeted and seated with friendliness and efficiency. We decided to sit at the bar, tried a couple of beers, and split the BBQ chicken pizza. The beer was spot on, very well put together. The pizza was really delicious and perfectly balanced, in the top tier of any pizza we have ever tried. A wonderful experience and we will be back, thank you!

Was in today. First time, but wont be the last. Tried two of the Beers , both were very good. The BAVARIAN SUNSET MARZEN (FESTBIER) was my favourite. Will be back in to try the other Beers. And the Food. Highly recommend. Joel the Bartender was extremely knowledgeable . Really good atmosphere.

Went for my birthday and I was not disappointed. Our server Joel was great and explained everything on the menu including my beer choices. Everything was great from drinks, apps, mains and the dessert. I will definitely be going back to try some more food, drinks and enjoy the atmosphere.

Firstly, the food looks great. I ordered the Bridgewater pizza which tasted amazing. Looking around at every dish going to the different tables they all looked really good. It was very busy on a Friday night, about a week after it opened. 3 beers on the list. I tried the beer flight and liked the lift bridge light lager a lot. Easy and smooth. The decor and ambiance is fabulous but be prepared for a lot of buzz and noise due to the high industrial-styled ceiling. They are set up like a bar with cocktails but have limited liquor options which I am not sure if its on purpose, or as the server said - its not that kind of a place for fancy shots

Great atmosphere, great service,great beer! I only had sweet potatoe fries and spinach beet salad bothitems were good! Nice to see something new and different in Welland!

Very good food and service. Our wait person, Charlotte, was the best. She was funny and very helpful also very attentive. She actually made the whole experience great.

I heard about this place opening, and we stopped in last night. Walked in around 7:30 and the place was packed. The host found us a table right away. The atmosphere was great...all ages were there from kids to seniors. For drinks I had their own cream ale, it was ok...very high in bitterness. My wife had a Pink Lemon Drop...she said it was delicious. We ordered a charcuterie board for 2. It was also very delicious. I was going to try the wings next but after some ales and sharing the charcuterie board..I was full! For desert, we shared a white chocolate creme bullet which was a large portion and delectable. Our server Zach was attentive and enjoyable to have. Overall, this is a real gem for Welland. We will absolutely be back for many visits.

Food was good, 1 bartender on canada day was stupid, half an hour to get a beer,if you want craft beer go somewhere else, ipa wasnt really an ipa, cream ale had that slight skunky taste of a corona and light beers are for the non beer drinker

A great atmosphere with incredible food and wonderful service.The pizza here is second to none. I left very satisfied with every aspect of my experience and I intend to be back to further explore the impressive menu options.

You rock, dont ever change. Best crispy calamari with the perfect texture inside. No rubbery or freezer burnt garbage that Ive experienced in the past. And might I add, the wings? DYNAMITE. You know on The Office when Pam says the wings are really good here! Thats what I give these wings. A datenight-Mike-kanga-hat-dancing-on-a-pool-table good time, minus the pool table. Enjoy!!

Had a great time here out back on the quiet patio. Great vibe, drinks and food came out quickly. We will for sure be back!

I understand that this place opened just 2 weeks ago... but we were given water glasses that were only lightly rinsed as they had particles in them and finger prints all over. We ended up going for a couple flights, which were okay... The cider was quite good, but regarding the beers, I personally wouldnt pay $8 a glass, especially when a hair is added for flavor. We also got a charcuterie board and this is where we were the most disappointed. The board (which cost $30) only had a grand total of 4 salami, 3 mortadella, and 3 prosciutto. All of these cold cut meats... seemed like they were bought from a grocery store. They were dry and large slices. There was some cheese too (cheddar, mozzarella, and brie), but they were like blocks rather than slices and the quality was that of once again, a cheap deli or grocery store. Lastly, the peanut brittle (I think thats what it was?) was burnt. Service was fine. I dont think well be back but do hope they are able to improve.

Wonderful to have a place like this in Welland. Decor is so inviting, the patio is awesome and the food is fantastic. Loved the flight of beer and the drink list is great. Had the poached pear salad and veal parm both were excellent. We will be regulars here Im sure.

Visited last night (Friday), we sat at the bar and had great service. It was super busy and loud inside but that didnt bother us much. Nice to see a new place so packed with customers. We tried a beer flight, the beer is ok here.. will be interested in what they produce in the future. They do have a HUGE drink list and offer local red and white wines. They also have a very large food menu, it was hard to decide what to get/try. The fried olives were yummy, wish they came with a few more for sharing purposes. We also ordered the Tuscan pizza to share. The pizza was cooked well however the toppings were a little scarce, more dough then anything else. I wish there was more handheld options to go with the beer. The pasta sounded good but not something I personally would pair with a flight of beer. The menu was more Italian eatery then brewery food if thats what you are into. The service here is 5 stars. Not running back but would come back in the future.

Great atmosphere with tasty beer and delicious food!!

Visited on opening weekend and again last week. Both times service was prompt, the food and beer tasted great and the price was reasonable. Love the fact that they have already expanded the roster of beers and added a cider to the mix!

Recently, I had the pleasure of dining at Bridgewater Brewery, and I must say, the food was absolutely delightful. The brewery offers a fantastic menu that caters to a variety of tastes and preferences. The dishes were expertly crafted, showcasing the culinary skills of the kitchen staff. From starters to main courses, each plate presented a delightful combination of flavors and textures. The brewery itself had a welcoming and cozy atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a meal with friends or family. The ambiance was enhanced by the charming decor and the pleasant background music. It created a relaxed setting that added to the overall dining experience. While the food was undoubtedly the highlight of my visit, I must mention that the service at Bridgewater Brewery had some room for improvement. The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed, resulting in longer wait times for orders to be taken and dishes to be served. Additionally, there were a few instances where the staff appeared less attentive to customer needs. However, it is worth noting that the servers were friendly and polite, doing their best to make the dining experience enjoyable. With some attention to improving service efficiency, Bridgewater Brewery could elevate its overall dining experience to match the quality of its delectable food. In conclusion, if you are a fan of excellent food and enjoy a cozy brewery atmosphere, Bridgewater Brewery is definitely worth a visit. The menu offers a range of delicious options that will satisfy your taste buds. Although the service could benefit from some improvements, the culinary experience at Bridgewater Brewery is undeniably a treat for food enthusiasts.

On the road as usual, welland has become my new hot spot for suprise meals and hosptality. Wow Bridgewater brew, food was great, ate a little too much, great thick crust pizza, service was great(go and see Charlotte fast and friendly service, funny they are so new but many of the other places I visit could learn from their staff and menus. Get out and eat some great food on the patio.

Tried this place for the first time with my grandson from New Zealand. He was as impressed as we were. Very pleasant patio and good cider. Will definitely be back.

It was excellent great beer great calamari great bar maid great bar maid Barena if I got it wright will definitely go back with all my friends barmaid even spoke French great place from Bergie at club Richelieu in welland check them out

Great beer and they sell cocktails and wine for non-beer drinkers. Pizza and fries were amazing too.

Food and service were both awesome! Veronica was great and her recommendations from the menu were delicious. The back patio is lovely! We will definitely be back!

The atmosphere, service and food are all top tier. I went with my wife and kids, and we enjoyed ourselves. Our server Joel was very professional and helpful. I will definitely be returning!

We went here a couple weeks ago with a couple friends for a night out. Atmosphere was nice but the rest is downhill. We sat in the back patio because the inside was full. There were three dogs on the patio which is disgusting in my book I am a dog owner. There was one guy sitting alone at the fire table and he had his sandals off and bare feet on the table. He was petting his dog (golden retriever) which was shedding and the hair came out way. I understand that people have service dogs but this was unreal. As for the food and drink, the food was average and the beer was awful. I had all three, the only three beers on tap and there was only one of them that was decent. I may give this place one more chance being a Welland resident but it has a lot of work to do.

Joels the man. Good food good service.

One of the best pizzas Ive ever had. Beer was great and our server Joel was amazing. 5 stars for sure. Will definitely be back. A welcome addition to Welland.

Great food and Great service will definitely go back

My first impression is really good and I realize that they have been open for a short time. The two items I had were the Margarita pizza and the Hombre (Mexican light lager). The beer was served with a lime wedge. Light and crisp with a clean aftertaste. Like carries and compliments the experience. Would have it again. For the pizza, I think the flavors are mostly present but there are two personal nit picks for this. - too much cheese. Its the domain flavor of the pizza and had me struggling to get a sense of the sauce. - the bottom of the crust wasnt done well enough. It was cooked and fluffy, but my personal preference is a decent amount of char on the bottom. Next time Ill ask for it to be a bit over done and see how that goes. I will stress these are my personal preferences for a classic margarita pizza. I will be back again to explore Bridgewater with a larger group and will update my review as appropriate.

Visited Bridgewater for the first time last night before a movie. I must say the beer there is amazing! For my dinner I had the Bridgewater burger and it was absolutely amazing. Great combination of flavors I would expect from a custom made burger. The pesto mayo and the roasted red peppers kicked it up a notch!! Well done and now on my radar for the go to for food and drink and atmosphere!! Fantastic staff to say the least. The prices are what I expected for home brew and a comfortable dine in experience. The back patio looked awesome too!! Higly recommended

Great atmosphere, delicious food and sangria, excellent service! Highly recommend!

Excellent flavours both in the beer and food. Highly recommend the fried olives pared with the ship wreck IPA. Good atmosphere and service!

Beet and goat cheese salad is awesome!

I have been 4 times in the last 2 weeks to eat, meet friends, and just to have a nice beer. There pizza is amazing and the beet salad is to die for. The staff is amazing and the owner is a very nice man, open to suggestions. You wont regret going.

The Margarita pizza and wings were delicious and the drinks were great but the real star of the show was our server, Joel. He was so incredibly kind and outgoing and cracked so many jokes with our table. Everyone at our table agreed that it was the best service we had ever had and we thought he might be the owner or something, but nope! Just an all around amazing guy who puts a lot of heart into his job. The first time I came here I had a server who was very rude and almost didn t want to come back here, but i m glad I gave it another shot because this experience was a complete 180 from last time!

Great Pizza! Nice brick oven wood pizza, and a good size! Flights of their in-house brewed beer available. The wheat beer is my favourite. Wife enjoyed the muscles and we split the very generous charcuterie for 2! Will definitely be back!

Well this place definitely has meet and exceeded my expectations. The service was outstanding and the food, the food was incredible. I dont know if it was cause I was hungry, but the Bridgewater burger was amazing. The pesto mayo elevated the burger. This place is a must try. Even have to mention the friendly and quick service.

This is the best restaurant and brewery in Welland. Woodstove pizza is amazing. For vegans, get the vegan veggie pizza and ask for beyond meat on the pizza

Excellent menu. I was a little disappointed with how few beers they had available, but they havent been open that long, and maybe they decided to concentrate on the restaurant side first. If so, a job well done. The fried olives were an excellent start. The salads (poached pear and beet) were a hit, as were the pizzas. Joel, our server, was fabulous!

So disappointed. We went there and waited for over 30 minutes. We had someone give us a flight at the bar but at our table, no sever came to see us. The beer wasn t good to us but we didn t mind their cider. People around us that walked in AFTER us were getting served - we ended up walking out and going to Matteo s down the road. At Matteo s, the food was better priced with way more choices on the menu and absolutely delicious.

Awesome date nite . Great food. Awesome beer. Wonderful music! Everything from Springstein to Denver and Johnny Cash with a shot of Kenny Rodgers!

Good food , good beer and great service

Beauty environment. Excellent service! Cant wait to go back.

Went for lunch for the first time and it was great. Pizza, burger and calamari were all good and really enjoyed the Mexican lager and night shift ipa. Was slightly concerned with all the negative reviews when they opened and I could see it being a bit slow if it was packed, but we will definitely be back again. Great interior decor as well, feels much more like a restaurant than a traditional brewery.

Went Sunday Aug 6th after canal days. We sat inside enjoyed a peach and honey with brie and spinach (I think) pizza along with honey garlic wings and a burger. The wings and pizza were fantastic and the burger was good but the seasoning got to be a bit over powering after about half the burger. I learned the chef is from Montreal and the waitress expects the menu to have may additions as they move along. All in all a nice experience and will be back again.

Had my first experience at Bridgewater Brewery tonight, and was not disappointed. The food was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend the fried olives and also the peach pizza. Joel was our server and despite how busy he was, he was very attentive and knowledgeable on the beer, and menu. I will 100% be back. This place is exactly what Welland needed!

Such a lovely atmosphere here! Food and beveys were amazing. Huge shout out to our server Sheri for the great service she made our day! We ll definitely be back!

What a great place, especially the back patio! We enjoyed a flight of various beers and a great pizza! Joel, our server went above and beyond to take care of us and our lab puppy. Highly recommend!

Great location near the Canal downtown Welland... service, food and ambiance were great too! Will definitely be back!

Great food, great atmosphere, nice people

We were there on a Friday and it was completely packed at 5 pm!!! Our server was super efficient and attentive .food was excellent and owner stopped by to check on things highly recommended!!! Oh and cocktails delicious

Great pizza and beer.

Reason for 3 stars: service was not great, server was quite rude. We tried to warm him up but he was having zero part of it. Burger came out wrong, which isn t a huge deal although we confirmed with server we couldn t eat cheese. Our party had all finished our meals by the time the right burger came out- most restaurants would offer a complimentary dessert for the inconvenience or even the meal comped but they did nothing for us. Food was great but when I go out, service is just as important. Great spot for Welland and band was great. Just disappointed in service- manager floated around (we think manager) looked like she was having a blast but never came to our table to even comment on the misunderstanding.

We had a fantastic lunch on the front tables. This place is right off the welland canal parkway trail. The drinks were ice cold and delicious. The burgers were the best we have had in a long time. Will definitely be back.

A great addition the downtown Welland. Great vibe, food & service!

Stopped by for lunch and enjoyed some yummy pizzas and beer. Thanks Ruben for the excellent service and recommendations. We enjoyed the casual and comfortable vibe.

Recently I moved from Toronto to Welland and I enjoyed the food with my family in Bridgewater Brewery because of the quality but lately I found the penne rose and the Mussels it doesn t taste the same like before so I told my wife it s weird the last 2 visits was really different taste so we asked the waitress and the answer is the chef left and we have a new one I just read the last review and I won t be coming back at all

Great place and great owners! Will come again.

This was our first visit, and everything Ive heard was true!!! The beers were all fantastic! Im so excited this place is so close to home!!! The atmosphere was really good! The place is done up real nice, and the patio is really good. Perfect for those not wanting to sit in the sun, lots of shade! The food was great! I had the Bridgwater Burger. It is easily one of my favorite burgers of all time! The rest of the food at our table looked delicious! The charcuterie board was huge!!! Our server was amazing, as well as all her helpers! We showed up with a party of 10 and they were quick and accommodating! Thanks Bridgewater, cant wait for our next visit!!!!

Food and beer is great, great atmosohere to. Do think its a little over priced though

My wife and I visited for an early dinner this past Saturday. Moderately busy for 4 in the afternoon but greeted and seated right away. Our server, Sheri was friendly and prompt with our order. The Bridgewater burger was outstanding and the sweet potato fries were the best Ive had anywhere. Portion was huge for the fingers and fries my wife ordered. Light lager was icy cold as advertised. Well be back soon to try the pizza!

First time we got seated not busy 4 waitresses working not one came over 10 minutes all waitresses walked in to the back we got up and left the host did not say anything bad service

Welland newest jewel..... Toronto style menu created by their top talent chef.... Atmosphere is so good.... outside patios front and back...... Excellent The owners ....top class and so friendly, calm and accommodating The place was really well thought out ...very professional and savy. Best wishes and all the success to you ! Gery Mercnik

It was good experience, pizza was so good. Servers were decent. Overall I was happy, the only thing is past time when I ordered that pink coconut milk refresher, it was more coconut milky and colour was more light pinkish. I guess depends on the bartender, it was more clear than last time. Unless I ordered different one!

The pepperoni pizza was incredible. Super fresh tomato base, gorgeous crispy crisp. Zach our waiter was super helpful and kind. No waiting for our food. Quick and efficient! Nothing negative about our experience. Well be back!!!

Great place with a nice atmosphere. Service was very good and the staff are very friendly. My only complaint is that the food is pricey for what you get.

Very nice place, can t wait to visit again! Very friendly staff, food was so delicious and beer was great!

We have been going here occasionally, for a few months now, since they opened. What I find is the servers are ALWAYS happy, helpful and attentive. They are always trying to make sure you have everything you need. The food has consistently been delish! Some of our favourites are: the whipped feta (apps), fried olives (apps) and any pizza - they are all great. We usually get the one with arugula & prosciutto and of course, the pepperoni & cheese. You gotta try the espresso Martinis here! They are great - not overpowering and a perfect pick-me-up. As for the beer- we arent crazy beer drinkers, but Id have to say I can enjoy a Liftbridge Lager anytime. They crafted it to be so refreshing and light- it just goes with anything on the menu. They have recently added a warm pretzel to the menu, and that was the perfect pairing for me. The pretzel was the size of my head - it could be sharable, but you probably wont want to after youve tasted it. The venue itself is awesome. There is a spot for everyone, including your furry friends. They have dog - friendly patios (front and back). The back patio comes equipped with a fire table, blankets on the fire-table chairs, corn-hole and ladder-toss as well as picnic tables beside beautiful mature trees. There are even citronella plants (for those dinners that turn into evenings outside), to help keep the bugs at bay. They really tried to think of everything for our comfort. Inside, the chairs are super comfy with beautiful wooden tables. It is clean and airy, with a modern touch. They have live performances there often and they are not too loud- so you can enjoy both your dinner/company and the performance. Its always a great time when we visit and we look forward to going. Im so happy they opened and have created the atmosphere and delish food they have. When deciding where to go out in the area, we always end up going there. UPDATE: I just went there today to try their new chicken fried sandwich.....dont walk, run to get this!! OMG! It is so tender & juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside with the perfect sauce. Im still thinking about it .. I probably could have eaten 2 to myself! And then I topped it off with the warmed sticky toffee pudding - which was more like a cake consisting of creme fresh and carmel sauce on the side, so you can drizzle as much or little as youd like! These 2 are now my 2 fav dishes! I ate the cake too fast and forgot to take a photo. Yes, it was that good.

This is such an awesome place to hang out and try some new delicious beers. The staff are amazing, and their patios is dog friendly .. Our Dane/Shepherd mix Rhec asks to visit often.

I have been to Bridgewater a couple times and each experience has been wonderful. Friendly service, cozy atmosphere and delicious, fresh food. The pizza was excellent. So happy this spot has opened up in Welland!

September 27th I was out with the Ladies Dinner Group at Bridgewater Brewery. The outside is eye catching; black with dark wood. The inside is very big with stunning beautiful dark and light woods that compliment the black, well lite, comfortable seating, beautiful bar with plush bar seating. I met and talked with Nick and Melissa Reim. Very nice couple. They are the owners who brought their vision to life. Congratulations to both of you!!! I ordered a Margarita Pizza, made in the stone oven. Some of the ladies had pizza as well. We all thought that a serrated knife would be better to cut the pizza. I ate 3 slices, brought the rest home. The pizza was very good. I had a Pink Lemon Drop Cocktail: Vodka (my choice of liquor), Orange Liquor, Simple Syrup, Lemon juice, Raspberry. It was so delicious!!!! Great wait staff very attentive and friendly. Enough parking at the front/side/back. There s a huge lovely patio at the back, with lighting. We all had a great time, but thought the music inside was too loud which made it hard to talk and hear each other. Definitely recommend!!!

Bridgewater Brewery restaurant is an absolute delight! From the moment my wife and I entered to the moment we left, Bridgewater proved to be a fantastic and rare experience. The perfectly prepared and luscious food was fantastic. My wife loved the wine, suggested by Joel. The Management and team have a rare attention to detail and exceptional quality that was prevalent at every step. The dining room and patio are welcoming and comfortable, with friendly & knowledgeable wait staff always available. The single unit restroom facilities finished to perfection and sparkling. This is only the second review I have ever posted, however this experience was a delight to be shared. Nick even gave us a personal tour of the brewing facilities, sharing his extensive knowledge and passion for their Welland enterprise. You may want to call for a reservation, as I am confident this treasure will become more popular week by week. We cant wait for our next date night. The destination will be an easy decision :)

Great brewery, they had a great selection of beer and the food was so tasty and filling! Definitely recommend for any fun occasion! Staff was kind.

Our waitress was kind and professional. Our food was delicious! We ordered two separate Flights (beer tasting) and the the beer they brew on property is phenomenal. The cider was so refreshing. Very clean, inviting and contemporary look. Welland has needed a place like this for a long time.

This place is incredible. From the food to the decor everything was well thought out with their clientele in mind. The seating is extremely comfortable, and design is well suited for the space. The food is tasty and just right to match their drink menu. Servers are fantastic and friendly. We have been back on multiple occasions and consider this our go to spot in the city of Welland. Love it!! You gotta check it out!

Service and food was amazing! Joel was great on all food and drink recos! His service was amazing!!

Amazing food, great service and awesome ambient!!! What else do you need? Love it!

Wasnt expecting to find a great brewery in Welland. Bridgewater has a spacious indoor spot and a good-sized patio with a firepit and lawn games available. Friendly, prompt, attentive service. The food was exceptionally tasty, pizza, beet salad, giant pretzel. Tried deep fried stuffed olives and theyve become one of my favourite appetizers. Expansive selection of cocktails and draft beers. Definitely will be returning.

Best brewery in Welland! Great beers, tasty food, friendly staff. Treat your self and go there now. Highly recommend.

Me and my husband went there were at least 6 tables were empty and they told us we would need to sit outside with my Infant when its cold outside or wait 30 plus minutes we wanted to try this place but now we are turned off from ever trying it.

Went in this evening and am posting for the group. Ordered the Funghi pizza and it was fabulous! Our server was lovely but a bit slow with service and needs an education on the beers. Staff product knowledge is must in this environment yes? Could have done without the entertainment that night. Oct 28th

This was my first time coming here and food and atmosphere was excellent. The only thing was that the service was extremely slow from start to finish, otherwise Id give it 5 stars.

Great place to go. Their pizzas are phenomenal.

Absolutely Amazing beer flavors, food that is to die for and service that is second to none. I truly recommend this place!

Joels service was great! The chicken sandwich and dry ribs were fantastic!

Food was good, the atmosphere was beautiful, the beer was good and the service was excellent

This place is amazing. Tried the pizza, burger, and wings. Everything was awesome as well as the Beers. The atmosphere inside and the staff was beyond top level!! I will be back for sure.

Took our longtime friend out for her birthday dinner, was a lovely experience. Karena was wonderful & the owner came over to check on us, we were very pleased. We will be back for sure!!!

We had a reserved table lunch there on Friday, it is a beautiful spot, well decorated and food was great. However, it was as if the waitress couldn t get rid of us fast enough. Not that there was a shortages in tables. Brought our bills half way through our entrées. Didn t ask if we want anything else to drink or desserts. Didn t take care of us, I would say.

The staff were amazing. It was a full house but not too noisy and food was delicious. Great place for a date night!

Food and beer were great. Friendly service.

The service is epic. The food is awesome. Dang! A classy joint. Smart menu has 0% douche vibes! So happy. Oh ! And the owners are legit good humans. Hence why I ordered that 5th martini. Heart emohi!

Great place and super cool vibe. Glad Welland has a place like this!!

Nice beer in this region and great food
