We were visiting the area and decided to check out this brewery rather late on a Friday evening. the GPS insisted that we had "arrived" but we couldn't see anything but some dark businesses. We left. Went to the website and noticed that it said to "drive around the back". We returned and drove past the buildings and around the back . . . Ta Da! Glad we found it. It was packed and there were no seats but we got some beer and stood for just a few minutes and then some seats opened up. Great beer. Eclectic atmosphere. Friendly wait staff. Fun way to end the evening. We didn't have any food as we had already eaten dinner but the beer was good.
I stopped by over the weekend with kids, and enjoyed the Prism Brewing bar room. The place was not very crowded initially (maybe 7:00), but was picking up by the time I left. Plenty of high top tables for sitting in addition to the long bar you can see in the picture. The description on how to find it is spot on, so re-read that.They had some really good beers on tap and I wish I could have enjoyed more than I did. The pricing for their beer (growlers, sixes, pints, etc) is reasonable. They also serve wine from a local winery, but I didn't try that, so no opinion. Bathrooms were very nice. They now have a decent menu of food. All seemed to be fryer or microwave stuff, but actually all the food we tried was just fine-no complaints at all. It is perfectly suited for kids, which was my main concern when i went in. well, as perfectly suited as a brewery can be! The "brewery" aspect of the tap room is low key. You won't see the tanks and pipes and so forth, nor does it smell much like a brewery (at least when i was there-it might during the day when they're brewing stuff). Really, it just had the feeling of a friendly neighborhood pub.stop by and enjoy it!
Unique beers in a back door offbeat place. Fun place to try new beer flavored. Just stay away from the jalapeño brew called...Love is Evol...it is awful. Others are quite good.
I really like and appreciate this whole operation. It's great to have a brewpub close to home that has a feel to it that's like something you would see in CA or OR. It's kind of a "grass roots" kinda place. Go in the back door. I love it. You get great service, craft beer, and no BS. I am really pulling for these guys to succeed. I like the whole vibe. They make ambitious beers and they serve them well. Some of the craft beers were a bit overpowering, but at least I got something I would never get somewhere else. Overall I wish they had a full-blown brewpub with a menu, but I understand that's expensive and takes time and resources. The double IPA is fantastic.Definitely check this place out if you are into craft beer and a unique atmosphere. This is not your ordinary hangout and it's a very cool experience overall. Jack the bartender will take good care of you, unlike most of the bartenders in this vicinity. Anyone that takes the time to learn every patrons name is a major step up in this area, and it's highly appreciated. Try all the beer they have to offer - it's worth the trip. Good luck guys and keep up the awesome brewing! Love the Buck Hunter Pro and pinball machine BTW.
Love Prism for the wonderful selection of locally crafted beers & awesome staff! Highly recommend the Shady Blonde in the summer & Red Zone for winter, of course with the sugar rim! Best part is you can try before you buy so go now & find your faves:-)
I had told my husband about Prism after learning about it on tripadvisor. We're so glad we took some time after having lunch to stop by and check this place out. We shared a flight and tried all of their beers (8 for $14). The bartender was really great and offered to answer any questions about the beers as well. I'm not a big fan of IPAs and 4 of the 8 seemed to be IPAs... The best of the beers (for me) were the darker ones- especially the chocolate bacon stout (Insana). Um, chocolate plus bacon?? YESSSSS. The other one that was really good was the Red Zone (brewed with maple syrup and served with a sugared rim.) Overall, a great place to hang out and a great place to watch a game.
My husband found this place and we went on a Monday night. The food menu is limited but the hot dogs in many different configurations were delicious! I had a Prism dog which had a bacon spread on the bun. The bacon theme is strong here, which I love! My husband loved the beers! He said they were all very good, as he had a sampler of 8 different beers that were on tap. The place is small, and you either sit at the bar, or at a high top table. There were a couple large TVs for viewing sports. A pinball machine, a video game machine and a tabletop (on the bar) digital game monitor. It was a fun place even though there were only 4 other people there while we were there. The bartender was very nice, and used to be a regular customer before he started working there. We will definitely visit again, because we enjoyed it.
Not a bad little place. Hard to find unless you know where you are going. Several taps running of their brews. I really enjoy Felony and Misdemeanor series. Quiet and dark. Good place to meet up with friends for low key conversation. menu is basic stuff that can be cooked in the convection oven or fry machine. They run daily food specials.Flights, Pints and growler fills, bar staff is really nice. If you come at the right time you can catch them brewing behind the large window in the bar.
Prism Brewing located in warehouse and hard to find. The GPS will get you to the front of the building, drive around back and you'll find a gem of a brewery. Beer was great! Was there for lunch, had the Prism dog, my wife had the soft pretzels, both we excellent choices. You have to try this place, you will not be disappointed.
The place kind of resembles those remote prohibition-era booze barns you see on "Boardwalk Empire." You drive down a narrow road, around a long wooden structure that houses a few businesses, onto an unpaved, rutted parking lot. The place looks vaguely forbidding, with a wooden ramp leading to an opaque double door. The neon sign in the windows says Open, so you bravely pull open the door and venture in. And now you're glad you did. The place is small, just a bar and a few tables. The greeting is warm and friendly, the beer assortment is intriguing. And the beer is really good, as only fresh beer consumed at the brewery can be. I avoided the more exotic offerings. (I'm a little queasy about jalapenos and strawberries in my brew.) But my pint of "Naked Red" was as tasty and refreshing as you could ask for. My server was attentive and friendly. The food menu is more or less standard bar food, very reasonably priced. There is an interesting hot dog menu; I had an "All-American" that was quite good. As you sit at the bar, you can look through large glass windows right into the brewery itself. Tours are offered (you have to make reservations). Definitely an unusual, fun place. I'll return.
