Harpoon Brewery Taproom and Beer Garden

Good food, rootbeer, and service

Great food, great drinks. Great atmosphere. Love this place!

I have waited for a year and half or so to write this review and thought long and hard about what my girlfriend and I experienced one Sunday afternoon in Windsor. We had been be coming to the Harpoon in Windsor for about 10 years and thought of the employees as freinds and family. We gave positive when deserved promoting the Harpoon to firends,family and total
strangers and sugestive corrective criticism in hopes things would improve. We had reserved the same table , a week in advance , every Sunday afternoon for 6 months to come see Brooks Hubbard. We walked in that Sunday afternoon in March and were told by Hosttess Abby that we couldn't have the table we had reserved. I asked why not and she said they gave it to another party that wanted it. Abby and server Victoia said it would be ok while giggling. I said it wasn't and I explained why we had reserved that table and asked to speak to who ever made the decision not to honor our reservation. We decided to take another table that was offered to us. We were sitting there when Nick Emanuel , who we thought of as a friend and family came to the table ,not make eye contact or anything shook his finger between Lori and my faces . He angryly shouted you have 2 options behave your selves or leave and offer no explantion to why our reservation wasn't honered. It beacame quite clear to us that after 10 years and spending 10 to 15 thounsand DOLLARS a year we we're not welcome or our business appreciated . Not one person in management ever reaced out to us to se what happened. WE miss our Thusday nights with Jason and all lthe friends we made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Most all the locals will say the same, it's not for the food or the beer beacause it not that great, but Jason they go for on Thursdays and some wish there was another venue .

Really solid bar food, great Vermont green salad, awesome sandwiches and an extensive offering of beers and ciders—Delicious. Friendly staff, outdoor live music. Can't go wrong!

Great day to spend outside at the brewery. We were greeted warmly and a super friendly and professional assisted manager introduced herself and brought us to our table. Our server also was friendly and professional. I apologize for not remembering names.

Great beer, cider, and food! Nachos, chowder, & sweet potato waffle fries were great. Ceasar salad could be a little better. Lettuce was big and the dressing was scarce. The dressing could be improved as well. Atmosphere is great and the staff is always so nice.

Rude staff, exceptional slow food service, their beers are actually cheaper at restaurants. This place is a skip.

Hostess wouldn't seat us outside saying all tables reserved. We dined for about 2 hrs inside at a high top I saw 4 out of the 7 tables outside unoccupied the entire time we were inside. Very disappointing

This is our second trip haepoon brewery in Vermont, we came back especially because of our bartender last year and she still works there again this year. Her name is Beth. She is awesome. Super friendly, spoke to us about all the beers. Explained the menu and gave us many tips on local areas to hang out. She is awesome, can't say enough. Never had a better bartender in my life.

Harpoon's tap room ended up being my afternoon office. I arrived here at around 1:00 and stayed through my afternoon Zoom calls, departing at around 5:00. It started off busy (even on a weekday!) and slowly got quiet.

Waitstaff were friendly and helpful and attentive, not minding me sitting here with a beer or two throughout the day. I also enjoyed one of their pretzels which comes with both beer cheese and mustard. I preferred the cheese.

A sharp and hoppy IPA taking no prisoners and making no excuses for the flavor and bite.
The Vermont Salad was a delight with greens as fresh and crisp as fresh picked from the garden.

We brought our Harpoon Brewery fan guests. We were all delighted with Declan's great and friendly service, good food with generous portions. The Brussel sprouts and fresh corn apps were standouts and the waffle sweet potato fries...to die for! Thank you for a memorable evening!

My husband and I just left harpoon brewery for lunch. We have been fans of and have visited multiple times over the years and have always had a great experience, but this time was the complete opposite and we were so disappointed. It started off trying to get a patio seat to eat outside with our dog, but were unable to. The hostess seemed overwhelmed and under trained. My husband went to order off the take out menu that had only 8 items available and when he asked if we could order off the regular menu, since we were only going to eat outside, the bartenders response was basically “what you see is what you get”. No welcoming attitudes from anyone so far. We ordered beer and food and I ordered gluten free bread for my vermonter sandwich that was supposed to come with fries. It came out within quoted 20 minutes where I then waited over 10 minutes at the counter to order another beer and had to ask for someone to come over to close out my tab. My sad excuse for a sandwich barely had any turkey and came with a bag of chips, even though the menu said it came with fries. I went in to get my fries I ordered and the manager said they gave me chips because the kitchen took it upon themselves to not give me fries because the fries have gluten in them even though I said it was a preference getting gluten free bread instead of an allergy. The manager went to the kitchen and got the sandwich re-made with fries and I was so frustrated with my experience that I offered him some feedback. He said to me that “ my experience today was the luck of the draw, and even though I usually have a good experience, today wasn’t my day”. He comped me the sandwich, but that did not make up for the poor experience I had during my visit. My beer was warm by the time I got back out to my table, and my husband‘s food was cold. I was so surprised by the lack of professionalism and customer service offered to us during our visit. It will be a hard sell for me to ever come back.

Chill atmosphere, nice staff, good food and beer

Don't become a regular. They treat you like crap. The food is ok. Depending on who the cook is. Management is not very good.
