Great atmosphere and great beer! ?

Meredith Williams

Best beer: Lime, KeyLime, Marg and Lager. The IPA was too intense. Options for every taste. The parm fries are worth it. The other fries are still good. Chicken good!

I recently visited Steam Bell and had an outstanding experience. The beer selection was top-notch, featuring a wide variety of craft brews that cater to all tastes. Each beer I tried was well-crafted and flavorful, showcasing the brewers' expertise. They also have their own food truck on site, offering a delicious menu that perfectly complements the drinks. Every dish I sampled was fresh, tasty, and well-presented. The atmosphere was fantastic. The space was inviting and comfortable, with a great vibe that made for an enjoyable time. It's also very family-friendly, which was a big plus. The owners and staff were exceptionally kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home. Whether you're there for a casual drink, a full meal, or a family outing, Steam Bell delivers an excellent experience. Highly recommended!

Definitely not same place in the last few months. Food not as good, beer not very cold and generally dirty looking. Bathrooms continue to be filthy.

Great selection of craft beers and the food truck has some fantastic light fare. The chicken bacon wrap with Parmesan fries tastes great and is very filling. The salads are fresh and plentiful. They also have an arcade area.

Great mix of your standard lagers, IPAs, etc. and more unique beers. Bartender was super friendly and helpful, overall great experience

We have been going to Steam Bell on and off for about 5 years. When it opened, it had good beer. As time went on the Food Truck added good food options. Live music added that extra touch. Then the beer options changed. As time went on we found less and less choices for those of us who liked a simple lagers or ale. Instead they offer Hibiscus Cucumber Gose Ale, Moscow Mule Gose Ale, Margarita Gose, Pina Colada Gose, Old Fashioned Gose., and their Timamisu Collection. Last night we notice they had a band that seemed like our kind of music, so we checked ahead to see what was on tap. We were told 2 lagers, a stout, a brown, a sour, ipa, wine, and cider. We decided to give it a shot again. The ale has good until they ran out by 7:30. After that they served us cups of something that looked like watered down beer but tasted like water. When we took it back, they explain they ran out of the kegs of that beer and their brew master had been working since 3 am trying to get the beer from the big bar barrels to the tape. Seemed to fix it, as two in are party each got a good pour after that, but then it was back to the watered down looking beer that now tasted like peaches. When we tried to return it they said it was correct, it just needed to settle and it works be good (NOT). Ok, we’ll try the brown. It was ok but too heavy to drink more than one. A friend tried to get a non-alcoholic beer as advertised on their tv monitor, they didn’t have any (fortunately she brought her own diet soda). Someone ordered wine and got something green in a cup that looked like mouthwash. I didn’t taste it but she didn’t drink it ether, stating it was terrible. Ok enough about the beer, I think you got the idea. The food truck used to have more options, now you can have a salads, a wrap or chicken fingers with an assortment of fried apps to included French Fries, Truffle Fries, Fried Pickles, Fried Oyster, or Fried Chicken Tenders. Have a shell fish allergy, can’t eat any of that. It’s all fried in the same grease. Your options there are a Grilled Chicken Wrap or Salad. There were three desserts but we didn’t try them. On to the band. As stated above, we have always enjoyed the bands in the past, and it’s one reason we chose to try Steam Bell again. Laburunum Park seemed to have a good reputation and music selection, however the sound wasn’t quite right. We couldn’t figure out if their microphones weren’t set up right or if they just wanted to ground out their own voices. The music was good but the singing didn’t seem to be there. I think they had good voices, just sounded weird - hard to put into words. Sad to say, that was probably our last visit to Steam Bell. Wish them nothing but success in the future, it just won’t be our in our future.

If they could be open when they say they are I can re-do my review. Went there for a $5 all arcade gaming Tuesdays - Thursdays. Place was closed at 4:30pm on a Tuesday. I guess rain closes them down. Even the sign next to the door says they open at 4pm. Checked their website too and no announcement of close either.
