Check out this hot spot in Yardley. A cool brewery with a lot of character. I like the back bar a lot. The beer is good and the food is awesome!! Brunch pizza is spicy and outstanding. Have cans to go also.

Vault Brewing Co. is not only nice for what it is, but for where it is - on a nice day Yardley is a great little town to take a stroll through. With that said, I'd heard of how nice the historic bank building that Vault is housed in was, but I didn't think it would be as spectacular as it is. It's one of the more interesting spaces I've visited and I've been to brewpubs all over the United States and Europe. On top of that they're not just a brewery tasting room, but a full fledged restaurant, so you can either grab some beers or get a whole meal. I found all of their dishes to be quite good (hummus, Buffalo cauliflower, fig/arugula salad, etc.), and their pizzas were very well done and interesting. On nice days you can dine outside, but the inside is quite nice, charming, and cozy as well. I've found the service to be very attentive despite the fact that they're mainly employing college kids, and that say something about how they run things. Which brings us to beer. Everything is high quality and very well done, they're not just producing it to bring customers in, and they have someone who knows what they're doing. They offer a variety of beers that somewhat fit the usual brewpub lineup (pale ale, IPA, dark beer, wheat beer, Belgian-style, etc.) but they don't follow it exactly, and they seem to have a lot of play. I'm not even sure if it's a regular beer but I love their English-style Pride of Yardley, and they've produces a variety of IPAs that have hit the spot. Overall, well worth a visit!

Cool place with good beers and an interesting menu. it's a historic stone building that was once a bank. Inside are high ceilings with marble columns and ornate finishes you would expect from an early 1900's bank. They kept the former bank teller window grates, which wrap partially around the bar and server areas. The kegs are kept in the old the bank vault and their namesake. Big shiny steel brew kettles are around to finish the brewery look. Very cool upscale ambiance. I love when old buildings are re-purposed while maintaining some resemblance of their history. There are no TVs. There is a narrow outdoor patio with a few tables that is nice enough, but it's jammed between two buildings, there is a lot of road noise from Main Street, and not much to look at compared to the interior. I recommend staying inside. I went on a Monday night and had no problem getting a seat, but it's not a big place and I could see it getting full quickly on a weekend.
Vault had 5 beers on tap: blonde, wit, altbier, IPA, and coffee stout (nitro). I had the taster flight and the beers were all pretty good. I don't usually like nitro, but the coffee stout on nitro turned out to be my favorite. The blonde came in a close second, which surprised me because it's not usually a style I am drawn to. The wit and IPA were good. The altbier tasted a little metallic and my least favorite. All of the beers were in the 4-5% range, with the exception of the IPA at 6.4%. I had a 45 minute drive home afterward, so I appreciated having plenty of low ABV options.
The food was excellent and unique. They have apps, soup, salads, wood-fired pizzas, and sandwiches with a "foodie" flair of ingredients. My vegetarian sister who accompanied me was very pleased with the menu options as well. The prices were moderately expensive, but the portions were decent enough that we got full and lput some in a to-go box. Service was excellent and servers were accommodating of requests.
Definitely a place worth checking out if you're in the area. I will go back someday. If only The Vault was a little closer to my home. Yardley residents are lucky to have this gem.

The beer is slowly getting better since day 1. Small selection. Wood fired copper oven offers very tasty pizza. Excellent live jazz music. I suspect the beer will continue to improve. No TVs makes this a great place to actually talk and communicate.

Located at the main intersection in Yardley. Small brewpub with relatively small equipment. Only 6 beers on tap. Food is nice but expensive. Throwback look with a contemporary feel.

I was very pleasantly surprised with our visit. There was an excellent selection of beers on tap. I tried a flight; Blonde Ale, Saison, Harvest Ale and Porter and I liked all of them. Our waitress secured us a small taste of the Sweet Potato Ale that was released the next day. The food was amazing both in portion and quality. I like the feel of the old bank as it made the experience most interesting. Nestled in a small town, I will go back soon for the both the beer and the food. Their growlers look cool too.

Nice place to grab a brew and some good pizza in Yardley, PA. They have about 6 beers on tap. Love their Duck Pizza. Vibe was pretty cool as it's an old converted bank.

Awesome spot in an old bank.In a nice small town just off 95. Excellent food and draft variety. Bartenders are super friendly, especially Chris. Just really good people with honest beer that is underated at the moment. In time....

Really nice looking place from the inside and outside. They have a pretty nice tap selection most of the time. Recently they started canning too but I feel the beers are better on tap. The staff is friendly. The food has always been very good too.
