In the old Czech village, across the river from downtown. Older storefront building. Interior is brick, with a charcoal ceiling, and a concrete floor. Short bar, high top tables, a large community table, low tables with chairs, and a sofa corner. Brewing equipment is visible behind glass. Twenty taps, with a good variety of styles. Full kitchen offers food. Very friendly staff. Cooler has cans to go. Large projection TV. In a historic neighborhood, with award winning brews.

A very neat brewery, added 2x the space with an outdoor tent over the parking lot during COVID times. The main building has 2 sides, one that can be reserved for events and the other where the bar is located. I was there for an event, very good food with generous portions. Great selection of their beers.

Located in the heart of Czech Village in Cedar Rapids and surrounded by historical buildings and structures, Lion Bridge offers the sightseer a pleasant spot for a quick bite and a great beer. Very clean and spacious, with a friendly and helpful wait staff. There were maybe 18-20 beers on the tap list, with a few special releases. Guest taps included a cider, and a few canned wines were available as well. The food menu includes something for every taste. This is well worth a stop if you're in the area. Or you could make a special trip. Either way, you won't be disappointed.

Located in Czech Town in Cedar Rapids. Not a huge space but never had trouble getting a seat the few times I've been. The food options change over time and are both reasonably priced and pretty tasty. The brewery puts up 10 or so of its own options, including a rotating nitro, but very few guest taps. Service has been very good every time I've been. The quality of the beers put out by this brewery is very good and definitely worth a try.

The brewery itself is nothing special. I mean, it's a nice enough place in a cool part of town.
But the beers are really good. They aren't afraid to make beers besides the "ambers" everybody does.
Good food too. Not a huge menu, but better than most bar fare.
