Always a great selection of wonderful beers

Stopped by to have a nice IPA recently. Always a good time and vibe with a great beer selection.

The good: salad was very good. Spent grain bread also.
The not so good: corned beef seemed like it came from a grocery store. Beer (tried 3) ranged from marginal to OK.
The bad: You must order at the counter. No menus available, no beer list on wall. When you get thru the line, you find out there's a QR code to access any menu info. While you scan it and think about what you want, staff makes you feel slow, and moves on to wait on people behind you. And if later you want a 2nd beer with dinner? Go wait in line again.
Started and left feeling really annoyed with the process. There are enough good places with better beer and actual customer service.

A great place for specialty brewed beer and ale. Limited menu but good food, great casual atmosphere.

Beer was unique and really good. I recommend the Belgian style sours.

5 stars all around. Greg and Rick rock! Awesome BBQ, great patio, super dog friendly and of course the beer some of the best in STL!

Cans for off sale are very limited

I came to Heavy Riff for a fun night with friends and ended up getting cursed at for ordered a flight of beer on a Saturday night. I emailed to share my negative experience and the response was a justification of their actions. I truly enjoyed my time at Heavy Riff, the beer and food are great but unfortunately this experience has tainted my overall view of this establishment.

Awesome beer and food. I’m a stouts and sours beer snob. I have been here a couple times with my family so far. The staff has always been great. The food has been great. The beer, especially stouts and sours are some of the best in the city, and probably the best for the price point.

I always have a great time when coming to heavy roof and the food is never ever bad. And the beer: 💥😍

Excited to find new place to go. But had to leave before we even had a chance to order our first beer. After looking for a hostess to seat us we discovered a line to order. We got in line. The line had 10 or 15 people in it and as others showed they signaled to those in line to get them a round. The bar staff looked nonchalant. Is obvious that after we ordered our stuff and sat down that the second beer would require us to stand in line again. We left disappointed. Maybe try emphasizing service.

Stopped here with a wedding party and they were awesome! The drinks were great!

I really like their use of lactose in beer. And their sours might be the best in town. Not to mention their sought after barrel aged stuff. I've sampled some of their food and it's solid, too. It's a short walk up from the zoo and an easy place to hang out after work

Quaint place to get a good local beer. Bright Nights is a great nitro Stout very tasty.

Good little bar/brewery but the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed or undertrained… also they had two vegan meal options but both of them were just dry protein on bread. A real shame as the seitan in the seitan sandwich was genuinely the best I’ve ever had! But no sauce or anything to go with the not-so-wet seitan and the bun… it just felt like they didn’t finish making the sandwich before they bought it out
