Wicked Barley Brewing Co.

Sheet steel warehouse building on the southeast side of town. Straight bar perpendicular to the entrance seats about 10 with plenty of tables about the room and on the back patio. 20 beers on tap. Friendly, efficient bartenders. Chicken Basil Salad was excellent.

Place looks geared for food. Had a Belgian Strong and an IPA. Both looked and tasted somewhat like beer but were totally non carbonated. There’s much better beer fairly close by.

This is one of my favorites here in Jax. I met the brew guys at an event before they broke ground and saw the vision come to life. The place is always packed but parking is not that great.

I love this joint, the people are nice, it is worth the wait to get in... the staff is always nice, the food is yummy, the selection is always something that turns heads since there are so many choices

 

This is a really cool spot with a great vibe. They really emphasize the outdoor seating area, with games and an amazing dock going out into the river with lights and seats. The food is incredible and the beer is delicious. Selection (and craftsmanship) can be lacking at times and they’re heavy on the cider/mead, but everything else makes up for that and a beer nerd can still enjoy themselves here. An awesome local brewpub!

The location is not your standard micro-brew spot....its its own identity. Plenty of seating both inside, outside and decent size bar. There are lawn games available as well. Plenty of TVs to watch sporting events. The quality of the beer and food is very good. The service was very friendly and helpful and even let us try different beers they had on tap. There is plenty to choose from both on the beer and food menu. The food was very good. I have been there twice now and would be willing to go back again.

 

 

 

 

Some of my customers have been raving about this place for last few months. During my most recent visit I was able to host a few of them here for post work beers and food.

As you enter the hostess stand is right in front and the bathrooms are off to your right. There is a curved bar ahead on your left and then a large seating area off to the right.

This place has an awesome multilevel outdoor space on the west side of the main room. It has multiple levels and goes down to a dock area on the small river. There are a ton of trees and a wetland area, so it actually feels like you are not on a busy street but instead out in the country.

Service was attentive but not hovering. They knew the beer list and could make recommendations. No problems here.

They have a smallish menu but the cheese curds and wings we had for appetizers were good. Our main course was also fine but the brisket is a bit tough but the flavor was good.

They had about 10 house beers and ciders on tap. They have a pretty good range but I would like to see them add a normal IPA or AP instead of just a double and it would be great for a nice hoppy pilsner given the heat. However, the beers were good. I had a nice Hefe, a very good imperial red and a solid imperial stout to finish my evening.

It was pretty crowed on a Tuesday and I was told is slammed Thursday through Saturday.

I would have no problem returning and would recommend this place to anyone who finds themselves in this part of town.

I'll re review this down the line once they get completely up and iron out the kinks. Good start though! I like the variety so far. The food left something to be desired for me though.
