This is a fun atmosphere. The new owners have opened the space up and have launched a new menu. The food was awesome, quick, and very reasonably priced. Live music and great beer what more could you want?

I was there for their Grand Re-Opening on Saturday and the new menu is fantastic!! But the star of the show is their in house brewed beers!! I tried a coffee and milk stout that was like drinking your favorite brew at your favorite coffee...house! I talked to Sam, the master brewer, and he had a lot of ideas for seasonal beers. Fun atmosphere and a lot of seating!More

Heard that they had new owners, so we thought to try them Sunday evening. We arrived at about 5:10 and waited for at least 5 minutes for some one to seat us or even acknowledge us (the restaurant was about 1/3 occupied). I then proceeded...to the bar and asked the bartender if we could eat at the bar, she said we could, we sat down and once again was completely ignored ( only 2 other customers were seated at the bar). We waited until 5:25 and left without any staff member ever acknowledging our presence- can’t say service was bad since we didn’t have any at all, not even a hello -More

Hard to complain about service when restaurants everywhere are understaffed but I will. One bartender handling all alcohol orders is not enough. We sat at the bar both days we went and had trouble getting a beer both times. Second time we went we got...food which was mediocre at best. I was told they were out of fries (?!) so I ordered “beer chips” which were generic chips out of a bag for sure. Just tell me you are out of those too. Food came out quickly. Will try again if we find ourselves in Galena but only if it seems that they have their act together.More

Came here for lunch on a Saturday with a friend. Had the bison burger with the potato salad. The potato salad was excellent. Food came out fast and our server, Chris, was very friendly and helpful.

Wife and I stopped by the Galena Brewing Company for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Place was moderately busy at the time of arrival, but most of the lunch crowd seemed to have cleared up by then. Most of the remaining patrons were...sitting and having drinks. We were greeted and seated shortly after arriving. Our waiter, although busy with multiple tables, was friendly and attentive throughout our entire visit. He did a good job explaining menu option; both beer selections as well as food choices. Wife tried a flight of six of their brews. We ordered the macaroni bite appetizer to enjoy with our drinks while we waited for our meals. We ordered a chicken bacon ranch wrap and a chicken taco wrap for our main courses, which we shared the other halves with each other. Taco wrap was excellent! The ranch wrap was also good, but I wasn‘t as wowed as I had been by the taco wrap. Fries were baked, which were good but a different taste and texture than I’m normally used to. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food that you get. Portions are decent sized as well. Would definitely return again the next time we’re visiting the Galena area.More

The good - Beer was good and we enjoyed the beer cheese soup. The Bad - We waited at the host stand for close to 10 minutes before someone finally waited on us despite servers walking by and ingnoring us. We watched this happen to...others as well, some just left. Our server was pleasant but didn't stop by often. We finished our food while still waiting for our second beer which we could see sitting on the bar. The burger was among the worst we ever had, think leftover meatloaf left in the oven long enough to remove any bit of moisture that could have existed in the meat. Would have been better off getting McDonalds! We did complain and she gave us half off, had she bothered to show up earlier in the meal we probably would have sent it back. Might be a good place to stop at the bar and have a beer but there are too many other good restaurants in Galena to justify eating hereMore

We spent the weekend in Galena to celebrate a birthday and Anniversary with good friends. We went in to the Brewing Company a few times for drinks and Andrew waited on us every time. He has such a great personality and is a lot of...fun to talk to. He even saved us when I left my coat there late Saturday night and had to call to see if it was there. He waited for us to walk down there to get it from him even though they had already closed and cleaned up for the night. Thanks Andrew! All around great server and person, highly recommended that you stop in and have a drink and chat with him on your next visit!More

We sat at the bar and ordered a flight of 6 beers. Usually we find 1 or 2 week like...but all 6 were great, and 3 were beyond excellent!!! Our bartender, Chris, was amazing. He shared some local history, gave advice what to see in...the area, and suggested a couple more beers for us to taste which were both excellent!!! Thank you Chris!

My man Chris (the brewery bartender) makes the best spicy Bloody Mary in Galena! Pair that with my burger and pretzel bites- and a great football game- and I’m a happy person! If you’re in Galena- make this brewery your stop for good food, great...beer, and the best bartender!More

Chris was an outstanding bar tender who makes his own Bloody Mary mix and it was outstanding. Wasn’t filled with too much food which is nice. He focuses on the flavor of the drink We will be back!
