Cypress & Grove Brewing Company

This is a cute place with a couple of serious shortcomings.

A buddy and I came out to see Dirty Chai’s first performance, and we were very thankful this place hosted the band. That was very cool, and they did a great couple of sets. The atmosphere was really groovy, with some (not a lot) of outdoor seating, some indoor seating, and a few pool tables. It was perfect for a Florida winter.

We were looking forward to enjoying the food trucks and having a couple of drinks, while grooving out to the jazz. If you drink alcohol, their menu is pretty interesting I would imagine. However, if you’re the designated driver, or don’t drink alcohol (like myself), their selection is dismal. Root beer, cream soda, and orange soda are the only fizzy options, plus a couple of seltzers for people who like that kind of stuff, and I quite frankly don’t know anybody who does. Nothing was available that wasn’t full of sugar. That was kind of a bummer. So a big middle finger to you if you’re a diabetic I guess. You get water.

And then there were the food trucks. There was a little trailer serving fresh beignets, so that’s cool for desert, and they were delicious. On the other hand, the actual truck that was here served only vegan food and they were extremely proud of it, to the point of being insulting when they were asked if there were any alternative options.

I don’t need to be sneered at, my woke brother. That’s not a good look for your cause.

So, overall this place was a little shortsighted. I have no desire to put artificial food in my body, (shut your mouth about the French doughnuts, I know I’m a hypocrite, and I’m OK with that!), and there was nothing on that menu that wasn’t fake. Why on earth would you choose to cater to a tiny demographic of people and have no options for the rest of the population? That left a bad taste in my mouth, unintended, and I don’t think I’ll go out of my way to return to this place.

Great music, though!

Cypress & Grove is a small brewery. They have a good selection of beers and ciders.

I had a blackberry cider which was excellent. Every body in my group enjoyed their beers. The bartenders were nice and answered all of my questions. They were patient with me while I decided on what to order.

There is outdoor seating. We had a good evening hanging out under the stars.

The bartender said that they have different food trucks every evening. We didn't like the food truck that was there. The food was basic (burgers & sandwiches) and very expensive.

I took away a star for the food truck. I debated about doing that. Ultimately the brewery is responsible for who they present to their customers.

Overall I had a really good experience at Cypress & Grove and will come back.

Limited parking, little food choices and limited drink selections for drivers.

One of the best places in town to get a beer and hang out with friends. There’s always a lot happening here, too, so check the calendar to see what food trucks and events are going on!

Great beer better atmosphere amazing people soul spice food truck is amazing.

The whole place is wonderful the beer is one of kind and the food truck meals are really good. There is a grand distillery that is visible and welcoming. The main hall doesn't have fans so as people started seeking cool air from outside and wanted to mingle and play pool it started to get a little warm.

Fun place to hang out, have a craft beer, find local grocery needs and hear live music.

Great place!

Friendly staff, great range of beers & other drinks, and regular events that keep the venue enticing and exciting. I'm not sure what else you can reasonably ask for in a brewery, so definitely visit C&G if you're in Gainesville.

Tasty beer, had a cool local market going on, and has a great event space in the back.

Nice hangout spot with some good beers

Cypress & Grove is excellent! We really enjoy the variety of beers, ciders, wines and seltzers. The staff is wonderful! They have some great events and the food trucks provide a great variety.

Great beers. Weekly farmers market. What isn't there to like?

Great Space, Great People and Best of All Great Beer!!Cypress & Grove is a gem of a find in Gainesville and a fabulous spot to spend any amount of time. My only disappointment was that on my visit I was enroute home after a long trip and didnt have more time, but the time I did have there I was treated awesomely.Will be making a specific trip back to Gainesville very soon just to return.Do yourself a big up and get there. Support Local Beer!!!

Great beer but it’s a shame that dogs are not allowed in their large outdoor area, while small unsupervised children are. The brewery blames irresponsible dog owners who do not clean up after themselves, which I understand, but this issue is overblown as it does not seem to be an issue at Swamp Head (where dogs are allowed even inside!). If the owners consider changing their rule and allow a small section for dogs or something to that effect, I will be a regular visitor.
