Rally enjoyed the atmosphere here, the in house brews were great, and I did not expect the welcome surprise that was Edmund.

This has to be the coziest and friendliest brewery I've been to. Most breweries these days have a bit of a cold industrial aspect to them. Not so with Blackadder. I enjoyed the Belgian quadruple and the house hefeweizen and they did not disappoint. I hope to return again soon.

Great atmosphere and good drinks. Place to talk with friends and reminisce

Every time we drive through FL we stay in Gainesville just to drink here!!! One of our all-time favorite places to hang out for beer. Plus we have to catch up with Edmond the cat mascot! ?

Great service. Great theming. Great product. A trifecta resulting in great experience. Venue specializes in Belgian beverages and delivers beyond expectations. Two thumbs up and will return.

This brewery provided excellent service at the bar, both friendly and responsive. The selection of beers was quite extensive and Torey was helpful in trying to find one that we liked. The house band, The Imbeciles, was playing the night we were there which was a wonderful addition to our experience. The band had a varied playlist with talented musicians and vocalists that really made them a joy to listen to. They also had several other interesting events listed on their calendar. Will definitely be back when in the area!

Blackadder is perfect for appreciating the beer and being able to hear the conversation of your company. The environment is comfy and the selection is great. Also there is an adorable cat, Edmund.

This is my favorite brewery in the Gainesville area. Chris Hart, one of the owners (the other being his wife) and brewmasters is normally on site and willing to converse about his Belgian inspired beers. Very Cheers feeling kind of place. No food, but they do have trucks regularly. Has an old world kind of feel, from the bar to the furnishings (lots of hard wood) and ample board games, including those outside of the standard American games most of us don't like any more.The brews brewed on premise are Belgian inspired and fit the styles fairly well enough. The name Blackadder fits, as most of the beers are higher in gravity/abv.I will note, despite the decor, the place is very family friendly and you do find families in the place. Overall, not an issue, but there was one time the parents were not parenting and nothing was said to the parents. Regardless of friendliness, I don't really think kids should be running amok in any establishment (other than a playground?), but a microbrewery seems a bit more inappropriate.I don't know if it is the vibe or the easy going nature of all of the people working there, but I feel at home when I go to Blackadder. Will definitely return.

Was excited to try the last of Gainesville's breweries on my list. I was let down. The vibe of the brewery is very cute, I admit: the near-medieval style tavern decor is neat. But that wasn't enough to make me a fan. The stars of this brewery are the guest taps. The in-house brews I tried were good, but not strong enough to pull focus from the guest beers. And worse, the manager/proprietor(?)/bartender was a bit obnoxious and crass, and was openly disparaging other local businesses (his competitors) to patrons at the bar. That alone was a big turn off.
Wonderful beer and great atmosphere to be around such wonderful staff and awesome food trucks around !!!

Great Beer! Great Staff. Great Vibe! The beer selection is vast and will satisfy everyone in your group. The staff (Owners are also there I believe) are super friendly and always ready to help with your selection. They have many events during the week and at almost all special occasions. Halloween costume contest, Trivia Nights and occasionally live music. Food trucks are available as a nice compliment. It's a Gainesville local favorite.

Blackadder is a relatively small and cozy space with beer and darts and usually a food truck outside and sandwich shop next door. They usually have about 10-12 of their own beers (often with a Belgian twist) and at least 15 other draft beers. You can get a sample and taste. Friendly bartender/owner. Easy to park.
