Visited the Armory speakeasy underneath its parent brewery and had a solid time. It was pretty quiet when our group visited, but we did stop by early on a Saturday so likely things picked up later. The drinks we all received were well made and decently strong, and the snacks we got actually quite tasty. Get the spicy cheese curds for sure. The whiskey selection I thought was weak and we weren't asked for the password when we visited which was a disappointment. Would come back next time I'm in the area.

Excellent service, food and beer. Beer was so good I stopped in the next day to take some home to Pennsylvania.

Excellent Wurst platter with hearty mustard.
The rosemary potatoes did not have a ton of flavor, but lots of oil.
Great service.

Prison City Pub and Brewery has great beer, my favorite Mass Riot. This was a 1st visit but not the last. Decor and atmosphere was speakeasy comfortable. The food is very good and the service friendly and attentive.
I go a fee times a year and I never disappoints. Had the Salmon BLT and a crispy boy. Perfect combo.

I recently had the chicken and waffles at brunch with some friends. It was so delicious that we remarked we couldn't imagine having any better anywhere. Plus, the amount of gravy was just right, rather than too little or too much. We also sampled some beers and were very happy with the range of choices.

I’ve never made a review before but my experience at prison city brewing convinced me I needed to. The food was horrible.
We ordered the pork belly fried rice and steak & frites. The fried rice has never been near a frying pan or wok. Unlike crispy fried food goodness, the rice was soupy, the vegetables were maybe steamed but certainly not fried, and the pork belly was, to put it plainly, disgusting. It tasted like it was marinaded in liquid smoke and it didn’t help that they did not cook it appropriately. The fat was not rendered at all and was like chewing on cartilage. The taste was overwhelmingly liquid smoke and nothing else. So bad.
The steak & frites tasted okay but the steak was just grey- no browning or Maillard reaction to be found. Along with no sear, the butter that should have been on the steaks while it rested came out completely hard, adding nothing to the dish. I know the theme is prison but the fare shouldn’t have been so on theme.
When we got the bill there was a second pork belly fried rice with a shrimp added (I’m sorry for the poor sap that has to eat that, given the quality of the pork belly I can only imagine the texture of shrimp) and a cheese cake to go. None of that is what we ordered. “It’s the end of the night.”, was the explanation I got (at 6:45 on a Monday) and they voided those items. Fair enough but didn’t help the already poor experience.
Beer was fine. Food was horrendous. Service just seemed very disorganized especially for the number of patrons.
If the owner reads this, remove the fried rice dish immediately, your food reminds me of a kitchen nightmares episode that desperately needs someone to intervene. I could do better and would love to sit down and right the ship.
