Beer Garden at Shippan Landing

Pretty quiet earlier on a Saturday afternoon but it did start to get more crowded within an hour. Friendly bartenders, good food truck options, and plenty of covered seating. Nice place to hang out during the day.

It's a self service bar with open seating for guests. Not many local beer options like local breweries but have lots of variety of canned drinks. It's on the long Island sound so the view is beautiful. They have a few games for guests to enjoy. They mostly have 2 food trucks for food but today there was only one food truck. Their falafel wrap and French fries are really good. If you like spicy food then ask for the chilli sauce. It was really good.

Disappointing experience here. On Saturday night, I had my debit card given to the wrong customer due to a mistake by the bartender. When I closed my open tab they told me they didn’t have it and reacted in a way that dismissed my concern that my card had been lost. I was continuously asked if I checked my purse, in a way that felt dismissive, implying I misplaced it myself. I understand there was nothing that immediately could resolve it but they didn't offer any compensation or reassurance that they'd find my card. The lack of accountability was frustrating. The next day when a manager finally called me, they downplayed their role and said “Another customer took it home.” They seemed more concerned with shifting blame to the customer than taking accountability. Luckily the customer returned my card to them but when I tried to pick it up, the bar was closed. When I called them back they didn’t answer nor returned my message. Hopefully, they’ll take steps to improve their customer service.

Nice band. Nice views. Nice place to relax and enjoy a drink. Kid friendly enough.

Awesome spot!! Wish I knew about it sooner.

Best spot!!!

Great place to grab a drink during the Spring and Summer

Such a great place to start the weekend!

Good vibe

I recently visited this place and, while the atmosphere is great and the beer selection is impressive, my experience was marred by a shocking incident.

Unfortunately, the blonde bartender (drives a Volvo) took my cousins purse and drove away with it. While she did return later, her cash was missing. It's disheartening because the place itself has a lot of potential and a nice vibe.

Be cautious if you decide to visit—keep your belongings close and be aware of the staff. I hope management addresses this situation, as it’s a shame for such a nice spot to be tainted by theft.

I hosted at 50th Birthday at Shippan last weekend. From my first email the staff were responsive and really helpful for planning. The food from their catering menu was fantastic and we got so much more than what was expected. The staff was incredibly friendly and a pleasure to work with. They have a great selection of beers on tap, and plenty of other non-beer options that caters to everyone's tastes. The band they had later in the evening was fantastic as well. If you're looking to host a gathering I would highly recommend Shippan, you will not be disappointed.

I came here because I’ve heard great things and was craving one of my all-time favorite burgers from Daniel’s food truck. Luckily for me, it was here that day! I absolutely love their “Gauchito” burger, and it did not disappoint. This beauty comes on a brioche bun with a juicy burger patty, chimichurri sauce, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, and mayo. Oh, and I got the fries—delicious!

This location is awesome—there’s plenty of seating, a variety of food options (depending on which trucks are available), and they even serve alcoholic drinks. The service was quick, and the views are amazing—one might even say breathtaking! You really can’t ask for a better spot to unwind during the summer. Plus, there are bathrooms available, which is always a bonus.

The only downside? Parking can be tricky when it’s packed. But honestly, that’s a small price to pay for such a great experience. I highly recommend stopping by while it’s warm out—you won’t be disappointed. I’ll definitely be back!
