Reviews Beertown Public House Cambridge

What we’ve ordered: Martini’s Wanton Nachos, Taco Trio (Fish taco, Pork Belly Taco and Brisket Barbacao Taco) Sweet Potato Fries, Fuzzy Peach BelliniWe've heard nothing but positive things from our friends about Beertown in Cambridge, so we couldn’t wait to try it for ourselves!The restaurant has majority of the seating intended for 4+ people and was actually quite busy for a Tuesday afternoon. After being greeted at the door, we were seated by the Manager. It was nice to see him participate in this and we later saw him personally checking on the cleanliness of the bathrooms. It was somewhat loud inside but still felt like a secluded spot in our deep booth at the back. The theme is clearly beer, the giant fridge at the back was stocked with dozens of brands we’ve never even heard of before. A sliding ladder the likes of which used in libraries must to be used to reach the top shelves. The lights are re-purposed beer kegs, and there is a tap at every table which we thought was an awesome idea. Some of the TVs could have been better placed in our opinion, some tables have a view of more than 5 at a time while our wall couldn’t see any.Their menu is a sheet of paper on a clipboard. While at first glance it looks like a rather small selection, we were impressed by the unique options available. Disappointingly, there are no pictures but their website offers some nice insight of what to expect. It’s very creative, they understand pairing food ingredients together for some really inspiring choices. This does come at a cost, we found the prices to be somewhat higher than other places. This restaurant is best for groups, bring your friends for a night of drinking and a nice platter of food to share. The selection of beers, wines and the like is comparable to no other. Having the option of any beer on tap right at your table is really innovative.Our waitress had an excellent attitude. She was pretty diligent considering how busy it was. After seeing what we assume was a dumbstruck look on our face when shown the massive drink list, she asked if we had been before. She explained the menu well and gave us enough time to decide without being intrusive. She was surprised that we both were not drinking, who she thought would be driving later was a little concerning, but none the less our drinks were brought out promptly and our food within 5 minutes.Our food arrived very hot, seemingly small portions but the presentation was impressive. Martini’s wanton nachos were really unique, with an interesting Asian inspired twist. Served on a wooden plank, the Brisket Barbacao was the best of the Taco Trio. The meat was absolutely perfect and the sauce brought it to another level. Their tasty Pica de Gallo really made the fish taco perfect, the fish itself was complemented with the unbelievably spicy Cholula sauce. The meat on the pork belly taco was great and the seasoning was suitable but I didn’t particularly like the coleslaw on it (solely personal preference). Sweet potato fries were served very hot and these didn’t disappoint, the tiny dip provided was delicious but not sufficient enough. Their Peach Bellini, although fantastic but for almost $9, could've had more booze in it. Even though our meals initially looked small, we were quite satisfied when we finished. Beertown is a really interesting place to visit, we were not expecting such a unique place in both the atmosphere and the meal options. It was a rather expensive date night for us but during our meal we could only talk about how great it would be to bring a group of our friends here. It’s embarrassing to say that we visited a place named Beertown and didn’t try any of their beers but now we have some time to research some of the options available for next time. This was a great time with some really special food and drink options, definitely a cool place for young people that we recommend highly.

Good atmosphere. Great selection of beer. Food is very good but a bit expensive. Service is poor, well mostly slow. The servers are generally friendly and decent, it takes for ever to get a beer or a refill on other drinks.

Travel a lot in Ontario so always looking for new places. Great bar with knowledgable staff. Had the pad Thai with shrimp and it was delicious. Will definitely be back!!

The good- My wife and I shared the Pretzel board , fish tacos and Tuscan chicken they were great

The bad- kids burger was disgusting. I'm not being picky it was really bad and the kids were served last in a group of 9. Also when desert was ordered 4 adults had time to finish theirs before the kids SCOOP of ice creame came out.

FEED THE KIDS FIRST PEOPLE

Beer town rocks!. Been twice, will return, aside from the great selection of beer(wish they had more craft beer from out of province tho') The food is exceptional, ambiance is great, and service is equally stellar.

Absolutely wish we could move to Cambridge. We visited Cambridge Aug of 2012 and saw the name " Beertown", and because I'm a connoisseur, my wife and I had to check it out for lunch. We had the burgers and beer and tit was fantastic!!!
That evening, my brother and his wife drove up from Niagara-On-The-Lake to join us for dinner. We had the steak dinner, and what do you know? It was fantastic!
The beer selection was great. Too bad they do not have a chain in Alberta. We are considering moving back to Ontario just to be near to this restaurant!

All we need to make that dream come true is to find employment in Ont. and you'll see us there OFTEN!!!

And we agree with Karima Kassam, that brownie was out of this world!

I think I'm pretty close to having my name engraved in the floor of this place. Great food for a sports bar. Avoid the specials and order from the menu. Exceptional, friendly service. It's obvious that Beertown wants to be a success.

Great vibe. Love the beer selection! Great lunch menu!

Charcoal group winner. Another place from the Charcoal Group. Another winner IMHO. Good food,priced for value, courteous service and a nice, clean environment. A special request was provided without any hesitation.

Wow. Talk about flavour! The pecan crust, the creamy brie coupled with the macerated fruits.

The old Kelsey's on Hespeler Road has been reincarnated into one of the Charcoal Group's new ventures, Beertown . It is described on their website as a fusion of retro public house and modern beer bar built around a 'chef driven' kitchen. I would agree.

The staff here is very friendly and accommodating. We had a group of 8 when we visited and our server answered all our questions and helped out by suggesting some drinks which were really good! They had a monthly Special menu and we tried a drink in it (Aloe Tonic) and it was really good. We just had drinks and appetizers and they were good. Would definitely visit again.

I've been here multiple times but this time around everything was perfect. The food was delicious and our waitress was kind and attentive. For appetizer we got the Calamari, which was delicious and crispy! We ordered the Beer'ville Hot Chicken with the side of Kale+Blueberry Salad, and the Smashed Lamb Burger with the side of ceasar salad. And both items were amazing! I'd continue to come here compare to the other locations!

What can I say, this place has great creativity, personality and good vibes. There was a mistake with are order and before it came to the table the district manager( Tammy I think) came and informed us that the steak was over done and sincerely apologized for the delay( we didn't think it was a overly long wait), 5 min later it came and WOW, my wife's steak and blue salad was delicious and the steak was done to perfection as well as my creative Mac and cheese. Do yourself a favor and stop here for lunch/dinner or just a good old pint of beer. Will be back and thanks for your great friendly service,.it's very refreshing!

Atmosphere was great we sat on the patio after they did some manuvering with the tables. Server was polite and very knowledgeable about the food. I had the hot chicken sandwich which was good however the bun did not seem to fit the sandwich too much bread to meat ratio. My wife had the lettuce wraps which were excellent. I had two beers the Collective Arts strawberry pina colada sour and the Merrit SVP Saison, both were excellent. Beertown is great spot to try new beers and great food. Strongly recommend...
