Overall our party had a great time. The beer was great and the group had a corner of the bar to hang out and mingle. The owner even gave a few a tour of the brewery. Great place to go!

We love southern Ohio! The food truck quickly ran out of certain types of meats ( I know that’s not SOBs fault). We also had a table reserved for 8 which was ready when we got there but even though it was 6pm and not super busy yet, there were some other large grounds and they had definitely helped themselves to our seats. If I reserve a table for 8, it’s because I indeed have 8 coming and would have liked 8 seats there. Not the end of the world but enough to cause an inconvenience for us.

Great place for my son and daughter in law’s 10 year anniversary party. Huge area out back for kids to play. Usually a food truck there but they also allow you to bring food in. Staff is awesome. Beer is good. Overall a 10!

We just enjoy SOB a lot we at least go about once a week. We definitely love the Staff and it feels like home warm and friendly. We always enjoy all the beers love it when a new one gets on tap and always anxious to try it. When food trucks are there we have had no complaints on the food except a little pricey but good . We always recommend SOB to all our friends and fun to see people we know that come there as well. Thanks so much to James , Melissa, Nikki , Pat and Austin and Staff for sharing your SOB adventure with us. Lisa and Mark

We absolutely love going to Southern Ohio brewery. My husband always gets the 818 beer and I love to try the new ones they have on tap. Always an adventure and great tasting and unique beers. Very clean and during Covid always abiding by the rules. Masks distance taking temperatures etc. Especially thanks to the owners Melissa and James and their family for having my husband ,I and our family and friends have a casual relaxed wonderful place to come and have fun and enjoy a brew or two... Southern Ohio Brewery is a Great place and spreading the word how wonderful it is. We need to explore the outside as well. It looks very beautiful and inviting.

The check-in process for our 1745 reservation was seamless/perfect! One would have thought the brewery had been open seven years, not seven days, with how organized the entire brewery team was! The 818 Inaugural and 2x IPA tied for my best in show, while my wife was enamored by Atomic Blonde. The outdoor area is far more expansive than I had thought - an area that can easily accommodate many people - an excellent area to venture to after spending time indoors. We will definitely be back!

Loved what they did with the decor and the look of it is awesome! The staff is super friendly and they had an awesome system in place to stay safe with the virus. They made sure to follow every safety precaution and I never felt at risk. The "jukebox" is such an awesome touch and you can download the app to pick your own music! The only thing that I didnt rate a "10" is the beer. It was pretty good but still has some improvement. For being a brand new brewery I'd say they're doing pretty great!

The opening was subdued with limited seating (reservations only to get a table inside) due to COVID restrictions but the beers were all very good. Nice venue with lots of space. Bartenders were friendly. Did not try the food, either at the window or the food truck outside so that is why I have it rated 0.

Didn't eat any food because the food truck shut down earlier than advertised (not the blaming the brewery) but besides that, it was great! Beers were very good -- had a good selection (not just IPAs like so many micro-brews in this area). The COVID set-up was well handled. We sat outside due to immunity concerns of one of our group but after seeing how well the tables were spaced inside, will have no concerns about indoor table next time. The reservation system worked very well.

Love everything but I have a real sweet tooth and what is sweet at the bar for beer is not for me, I was looking for more of a mead type of beer, like some actual sugar taste, but nothing. Peanut butter & jelly was offered as a sweet beer but not sugar taste was there for me. Again I will go again and have one beer but is not my choice. The moscato available was terrible too, i settle to drink the moscato but tasted cheap. Love everything else!!!

I didn't have any food. This new family run brewery is great! The staff made time to come and talk with us, and the ambiance is very different from most breweries I visit downtown. This one has a bit of land around it and people can have a drink and relax while their kids have room to run and play. The blonde ale was excellent and I highly recommend it!

The 10 vs 16 ounce cups were different. It’s a dollar more to just get a 16 ounce. I think for the business that’s just wasted effort. Make it easy and just have one size. It’s super loud inside so I would suggest more outside seating or get more rugs so the noise doesn’t bounce off the walls. You have a lady that bounces table to table but doesn’t take orders. You’d get more business if you had iPads and waitresses going to each table. We go to yellow springs brewery every weekend but I think we’ll be coming here instead. Thanks for moving in the neighborhood!!

Loved the service and the good beer. No sound reducing surfaces gives a room where it is hard to talk, because all the sounds bounces off every surface.

Kitchen is currently closed. They did have a food truck out front and it was ok.

More wall graffiti and with ’crowds ’ so small, some music would be appreciated!
