I would like to recommend their oven roasted pizzas. My favorite is the feta. Fun atmosphere with the cell bars. There is a downstairs available to rent out and a smaller room in the corner that's perfect for a large family.,

Has more of a neighborhood feel than the chain restaurants. The food is very good, and they have a great varitey of beers. Only negative thing is the location. Kind of scary after dark.

Our first stop upon landing in Jeff City. Sat in a jail cell booth. Our waiter was very efficient, friendly and informative. We got started out with a couple beers from the list. A Brown and an IPA. Both very good. Very easy drinking. Next we were served the onoin rings. They are a must. The beer batter coating is... More

Friends took us to brunch the other weekend. I had the crabcake benedict that came with fresh fruit and a Bloody Mary. My husband had the country fried steak (I actually tried it because it did look good, normally I don’t touch that particular favorite of his). Pretty solid drink and the food was good, especially since they just started... More

I had heard a lot about Prison Brew. The food was okay but nothing extra. The service was marginal. A lot of noise so if you are wanting a evening where you can sit and eat and talk this is not the place to do it. Overall I was disappointed and do not have any plans to go back here.

My husband and I stopped here for lunch during a weekend getaway and we loved it. The food was great, my husband really liked the beer he tried, and our service was quick and friendly. We will definitely go back.

A really unique idea on the inside for a microbrewery where the decor' is one that is decorated with prison bars. They have a small microbrewery that have some great flavors. They also have domestic beers too. Their food is of a fair selection and the atmosphere is one that accepts a family style dining experience. Their fire brick oven... More

Interesting decor, you eat in cubbies resembling jail cells. Casual pub atmosphere with a good selection of hand crafted beers and pub grub food. Wood fired pizza looked great, hamburgers were overcooked, but came in a variety of favors. Prices are reasonable. A good place to grab a quick filling meal.

We ordered pickles, nachos, & pizza and it was all wonderful. The service was a little slow but this place was packed! We tried a few different kind of beers. They all have a good flavor but were flat, so it was like drinking beer flavored water. I recommend the honey wheat. The live band was excellent.
