Service was horrible! Waiter got order wrong, didn't check back with us. Beer was average. Took forever to get the check which was wrong! Only to be told credit card machine was down and we could go to ATM for cash. I believe the owner was sitting near us and had half the mind to walk over and express our disappointment! The poor tip we left was reflective of the experience. 3rd time coming here has left us with 3 disappointments.

Delicious beers (especially the pecan nut brown), tasty street tacos, very friendly staff!

My wife and I stopped at a local competitor right up the street and were disappointed and left right away. Our next stop was Galena brewing and holy wow what a difference. The beer and vibe were on point but Kyler was the one who won us over right away. Great energy, great hospitality and took care of us amazingly (and we are easy to please). Five freaking stars and we would come back to seem him any day he is working!! This is the spot!

Service and food were good. Atmosphere is also nice. Parking is difficult when It's busy.
Tyler Swenson
Nice brewery. For being open late, service definitely slows down after 8, so can be hard to get refills unless at the bar.
John Litvin
Decent burger and brew joint. Very busy on the weekends.

Just went to the Galena Brewery last night and let me tell you it was a fantastic experience! The food was excellent hot and fresh, the mood was peaceful and positive, and I happen to run into one of the best waiters I ever had in my life! Shout out to my man Ray down at the Brewery! Ask for Ray he will make the experience even more enjoyable. Even the Music was great, i enjoyed every bit of time that I had down at the Galena Brewery and I hope I find my way down there today! Ray this is Myles, you've got a forever friend with me bro, keep up the amazing work! Everyone please check this place out while in Galena

Place was really nice, but the bartender was worthless. Hostess had to get us a beer. After we sat there for 15 minutes. Doubt I'll go back.

Almost walked out because they were understaffed and getting slammed. Short bartender (sorry, forgot name) was very personal and had some great Galena history info. The Hoppy General is a great ipa. I could see reasons for negative reviews, but we had a nice experience saved by a very personal bartender.

If you are ok waiting. And waiting. And …. waiting. Go here. Good luck.
We love going to Galena and usually enjoy the Galena Brewing Company. BUT after today we will NEVER be back.. Bartender, older woman with glasses. Attentive at first then never came bsck to check on us, I had to go get her to order! Specifically said bone in wings. Place was not busy yet over 30 min for wings and club sandwich. Finally came out and boneless. Club was decent but no condiments for his fries. I told her to take the wings away. Never tried to make it better. SAID oh I took the wings off your bill. Duh!!!! I didn't eat them!!!! No compensation. Was starving and left! Service now sucks and why not list eings as boneless or bone in on menu! What a disaster! Thanks for wrecking our long drive and day trip! Beer was awful too! And place smelled! Also haven't has a BEER ME shirt in 10 visits. Order more!!!!!!

Great experience at the Galena Brewery. We went on a Sunday night so it wasn’t very busy but Christopher the bartender was awesome to talk to and was making sure our drinks were full and he couldn’t have been more welcoming. I recommend stopping at this place if you have time during your next Galena visit!

After a couple visits here over the years, u don’t think I’ll be coming back. We had to wait 10+ minutes to be given a table even though the half-empty restaurant had several employees milling about randomly the whole time. The chips we got? Stale. The service? Slow. The beer? Unimpressive.

Nobody greeted us upon entering. Sat ourselves at the bar. Still nobody engaged us for 10 minutes. Watched bartenders chatting and eating nachos. Ended up leaving…still nobody cared. This is the first brewery I’ve been treated this way. Would advise skipping this joint.
