“Congenial atmosphere and staff“

“Beech Kombucha is absolutely un-‘BEECH’-lievable! Stumbled (or should I say, fermented?) upon this gem while killing time before a comedy show, and let me tell you, the real joke would’ve been not stopping by. I’ve now been back three times, and each visit has been a ‘brew’-tiful experience. The best part? The ever-rotating lineup of flavors keeps things fresh—no chance of things going stale here! Every sip is a delightful surprise, and I love that there’s always something new to try. The vibe? Immaculate. The first time, we cozied up indoors, where the eclectic furniture made for a quirky and inviting atmosphere—perfect for conversation. On return visits, we took full advantage of the backyard-style outdoor space, which is not only spacious but also dog-friendly. Our pup gave it two paws up and is now fully on board for future visits. And let’s talk about the staff—beyond friendly! I’m admittedly terrible with names, but I believe it was Julian who guided us through the kombucha selections with expertise and enthusiasm. His recommendations were spot on, making the whole experience even better. Oh, and just when I thought things couldn’t get tastier, a food vendor was serving up Mexican-style tamales and street food on our last visit. The pairing? Chef’s kiss. If you haven’t given Beech Kombucha a shot, what are you waiting for? It’s a ‘brew’-tiful place with fantastic drinks, a killer vibe, and a welcoming team. Trust me—one visit, and you’ll be ‘hop’-ing back for more!“

“We have been wanting to stop in for awhile and finally we made it. To say it was worth the trip is an understatement. Aimee greeted us as soon as we sat down and offered samples. The beer was great, we tried several and were not disappointed. Aimee is very friendly and never stops helping the guests! The Wood Shed Grill, with Jason on deck cooking, was so flavorful, the chili is homemade and was amazing. THEN you put that chili on loaded tater tots - WOW, so yummy. We will be back, even with the 1.5 hour drive!!!“

“My wife and I arrived on Saturday, Nov. 22, 2025 at 2:30 and found the place empty except for an older couple (like us) sitting at the bar which we sat at as well. We were greeted by Kalen who was bartender/waiter and was happy to share the history of his family restaurant. We have been displaced New Englanders for close to ten years and know good seafood and UNTIL TODAY was convinced it was never going to be found in Florida! We ordered two beers after taste testing four or five of their micro brews. Ordered two Clam Chowders , a Clam Basket (with bellies, which are non-existent in Florida), and a Lobster Roll, (Maine Style, which means "cold") and one of their famous Maine Whoopie Pies all for under a hundred dollars! FLORIDA , IF YOU WANT TO TASTE WHAT REAL SEAFOOD SHOULD TASTE LIKE....THIS IS THE PLACE! It is not an easy place to find but we will be back with all our New England friends that is for sure!“

“Great Beers, awesome staff & unique, quality, curated events. Definitely recommend“

“Love going to PAW! Great beer and people. Love the Mug Club!“

“Rapp Brewery is a fantastic spot! They have an incredible selection of beers, each with a unique, bold flavor that beer lovers will appreciate. The staff here are genuinely friendly, making you feel at home the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is relaxed and cool, perfect for kicking back with friends or trying a new brew. Highly recommend checking this place out!“

“Great beer, food, atmosphere and overall experience! Thank you Zack for a wonderful day!“

“Very good clean crisp beer! A big variety of styles.“

“Wonderful place for a beer and a taco. Rotating beer menu is fantastic. They're always experimenting. IPAs, lagers, marzen, pilsners, and ciders. Pro tip - mix the ciders lake raspberry and blueberry for unique flavors!!! Live music and events. This is a go to place for locals. Plenty of parking on their lot, street. Plenty of games to play. I'm not a bring 'your kid to the brewer' kind of guy but apparently you can. Absolutely friendly staff!!!“

“The most fun and refreshing brews in town! Every beer has a good story and is a taste adventure full of fresh ingredients, when they put real ingredients into their beer, they don’t skimp, this is the most unique beer in this area. Not to mention an always incredible selection of local art. This is where you need to be.“

“It has a great outdoor place and dog friendly. That was nice but I ordered the black bean burger which was terrible. It was the blandest/zero flavor Burger that I’ve ever had. And it cost $13, not worth it. The tater tots were good. I will not order that again“

“Excellent venue to perform at. The owners take care of their musicians. They help with promoting, marketing and well being of their community. Best place to see live music in St. Pete, FL. EXCELLENT food and drinks. Friendly staff and vibes. ?“

“Great beers, awesome servers, and fun atmosphere. The food is not just your typical brewery fare. They have some very Floridian food options and some creative beers. Many breweries that brew this many beers have quite a few misses, but this brewery does well keeping beers flavorful and balanced.“

“We had a blast, this place has a great vibe along with great service, video games and decor. The pizza is great too!“

“Food was good! I was disappointed that they were out of one of their Halloween desserts. The banana pudding... It's a holiday feature item. You would think that they would've had back ups or made more if they ran out the night before other than that everything was great!“

“Very good clean crisp beer! A big variety of styles.“

“This is a very comfortable place to go. Great beers and selection. Meghan is the BEST! Kind and prompt and always serving a beautiful smile and ear when you need it!“

“Love going to PAW! Great beer and people. Love the Mug Club!“

“Don't normally share reviews, but first time to this location. The beers are great personal fav is Bromosa, however the buffalo chicken sandwich is no crap write home about. Quailty of meat, amount of sauce, friedness, and coleslaw is a fantastic mix, will definitely order again!“

“Was a 5 star now a 3. I've been coming here every Tuesday for 2 years and it's been an excellent experience. Since the change in servers/ personnel ,the service and experience has declined greatly. Our table waited 15 minutes for a server at 3:00. Katie (bartender) and Avery (server) are excellent and should work the bar area.“
