Great venue! They have such a wide variety of beers that there is something to cover every preference. Peach Fuzz, Smoke Session, and Mangenero were pretty good. Had the meatloaf special, and it was awesome!!

Where to begin! We live a short distance away so we are there fairly frequently. We have attended there halloween & christmas party's. I have also held my bridal shower here and we actually just had my baby shower in the outside pavilion. The catering was delicious and we had the best time thanks to Chris & Chelsey! We enjoy that the venue is so spacious and open. They have such a variety of delicious beer selections! My husband’s top two are the fuzz kill or vanilla blonde. They also have some pretty good food specials throughout the month. It is honestly such a great atmosphere and the staff is always absolutely amazing, you will not be disappointed😃

Gorgeous taproom. Very large. Stage is really nice, would love to catch a good band here. Large upstairs area with shuffle board and outdoor area with bags and other games. They say food is coming soon. Banquet area also big and very nice with a few hotel style rooms on site. Beer was decent with good selection and quality guest taps. This place has a lot of potential and I'm looking forward to seeing what it evolves into over the next year.

Route 51 is one of my favorite places in the area. If I had more expendable income I'd be there at least once a week. I've tried just about every beer they have (a very good selection) and not disliked a single one. The food is excellent. There is always some kind of event or live music going on. Today I went for their Cajun-fest and got alligator for the first time since I left Florida and it was AMAZING. I also tried the gumbo and that was just as good. I can't recommend Route 51 Brewing Co enough. I only wish I had more money to give them.

OMG! This was such a surprise! A fabulous venue-huge but cozy! Every beer we tried was amazing! And the food, goodness! The caprese grilled cheese...to die for! The spicy beers were perfect! This is a MUST stop. Enjoy the sips and the bites!!

My office held their annual appreciation party at Route 51 on Oct. 4 and it was a blast. We gave it an Oktoberfest theme. Chris and Chelsey were very accommodating and showed us the best hospitality in their venue. They made sure everything ran smoothly, was set up in enough time and made some great suggestions to make our party the best. Chris has a lot of knowledge when it comes to picking out bands and making sure the sound is perfect. Chelsey is very organized and made sure everything was on schedule. The staff was exceptional as well. They all dressed up in the theme of our event and made sure all of our guests were taken care of. Route 51 also let us bring in an outside caterer and accommodated the caterer's needs and worked with them for our party. Route 51 also brewed a custom German beer for our event and it was amazing. Thank you for a great party and for making it one of our best yet!
