Reviews of Riverhead Brewing Company (Event Planner)

Chuck

Delicious beer. Lots of options. Friendly staff and yummy food. 5 stars!

Kurtis Mayer

Cute little brewery right off the 401. Handful of beers available at any time. Really enjoyed the Irish Red, very malty and flavourful. The limited edition Citra Blonde was also great, tastes like sunshine. Food options are generally sandwiches/paninis and such, but they were done very well, and homemade kettle chips were excellent. Not a huge kitchen so be prepared a little bit of a wait. Do yourself a favour, skip the OnRoute and come here instead!

Ryan smith

Finally visited this place after learning about it about 2 months ago. The staff is super friendly. While my order did not exactly come out as expected (the menu said carmelized onions and roasted red peppers on the beyond burger menu item), I am still giving it 5 stars because the food was really good as was the beer. Also, the other guests started an impromptu jumbo jenga session, which was quite fun. I would absolutely recommend this place.

Brenda Wood

Great place, loved the cider

Preston Paul

Not our first time to the Brewing Company, first visit after expansion. Service was a tad atrocious, not only was the server uninformed and not helpful the timeframes to recieve food after the initial order was close to 60min. This consisted of 2 burgers. Sitting directly in front of the bar no one returned with any type of explanation until the one helpful waitress was asked how long till we recieved our food. Even then there was still no acknowledgment for anytime frame. Due to the duration and the service I wouldn't reccomend your establishment for any type of dinner service.

Nancy McGarvie

Great food! Great beer!

Heidi “organicroadmap” Csernak

Amazing raspberry wheat beer that is seasonal also an exceptional red, but wait, there’s a spectacular menu too. Exactly what we we hoping to find in Kingston. We will definitely be back for board games, pretzels and more beer.

Tyler Case

Adjusted* An open feel to the place, I would like to see more to look at here. The staff are very helpful and one of them invited me back to the bar to try a sample of each of the beers I was interested in. Very good customer service here! The beer was pretty good. The chicken stood out here. Very tasty! Thanks for the great service here ! (To understand my point here on visuals better, you need only look up the 'Port Perry Old Flame' on Google maps to see my point.) I wasn't being too critical.

Vernon Simkins

Stopped for lunch with a friend, ordered the Zesty Burger. Burger wasn’t made correctly as per menu, when the additional items were brought to the table and I tried the burger I was very disappointed. The burger was clearly from a box of a local grocery store, I would guess the bun the burger was on cost more than the rest of the ingredients. Person who served us was new, so not his fault, as he likely did what he was taught to do. Would not recommend burgers from this location. Paid for our meal and walked across the parking lot to Red’s where the food was phenomenal.

Adam Seangio

Burger Break! Cravings satisfied at Riverhead Brewing Company in #Kingston! ???????????? Great beer, tasty cheddar & jalapeno stuffed pretzel with chipotle dip and the main event - the Double Header All Canadian Burger with Angus Beef... half it came home with me for an evening snack!

Nikko Kroestch

Super tasty. We'll make a point of stopping in next time we're through Kingston.

Kristy Chown

Laura Jennifer

1st time there. And I am sure there will be many more. Great beer menu. Loved the food.

Donna Macera

Great Beer super friendly owner!

Jim Heaney

Cool concept and good spot to pick up local beer along the 401 - from growlers, squealers (32oz), or mix-and-match 4/6 pack cans. Great prices. Staff were friendly and helpful too!

Kevin Michael Offord

Beer is good could use some more food options.

Phil Feldman

This Craft Brewery was truly impressive. They had excellent beer and I was really impressed by the welcome I got when I entered the establishment. The staff is really friendly and looks like a great place to hang out and try their seasonal selections. I picked up a few Growlers to try at the cottage and I'm sure I'll be back again.

Erin Siksay

Great beer, proactive with offering samples and detailed explanations of each brew. Highly recommend!

Tim Langford

Nice mid sized brew bar. The beer is very tastefull not sure about the food but if in the area definitely worth a pop by. Cheers

Patrick

Great new Brewery, excellent beer and friendly staff!!

Keely Galt

Great place. Great beers.

Cole Lawson (NarutoCj)

Awesome brewery! They have a great choice of beer and it’s available on tap or cans to go. Their interior design is amazing! As you can see in the photos, there are canoes on the ceiling to add detail to the interior design. Lots of parking space at this location. I wish they could make a patio area in the front of the store.

Junnie Hanna Elliott

Incredible staff who are as friendly as they are knowledgeable about their beer and all breweries in the area. Their beer has great variety and there is something for everyone. Of the foods, I only had their pretzel with aged cheddar dip but it was phenomenal and pairs perfectly. With most of their drafts. 10/10 best brewery in Kingston hands down.

Damian McKinlay

For only being open a week they are doing really well. The core beers are pretty tasty. The atmosphere is rustic and the staff is friendly. Never tried the food, but the menu looks complementary to the beers.

James Irvine

Great atmosphere and music, wait staff was excellent, their new hard seltzer was delicious!

Austin Heyman

Very nice little Craft brewery with a restaurant. Beer was very good and so was the food. Good service and friendly staff. It was not too far off the 401 so a nice place to stop and have some food a discover a another nice Ontario craft brewery.

Doug D

Great beer

Keri Borden

John Tetora

Great atmosphere and amazing service. Great beer and food. Can't wait to go back.

David Algieri

Love the atmosphere!

Victoria Borgacci

Amazing service and a cozy atmosphere; what else can I say? Friendly staff who got me seated and served right away, and I received my food at an incredible speed! Great food and even greater beer, nothing like being able to try all the options and then walk out the front door with a 2-4 of your favourite brew in your hands.

Heather Wilkes

Tasty beers, short staff but still excellent service. Would come again

James M

Great beer, awesome staff. Holly is the best!!

pier-hugo Chapman

(Translated) Microphone on the edge of the 401, practical. Honest beers, food warmed by the waitress. (Original) Micro en bordure de la 401, pratique. Bières honnêtes, bouffe réchauffée par la serveuse.

Kelly

Great selection of quality beer. Limited food options but you can't go wrong with the pizza and pretzels.

Rob Postill

Great beer and really good food! Highly recommend

Stephane P

Walked in with no expectations and walked out a very satisfied customer. I tried four beers at random; the worst was good and the best was worthy of taking home a growler. The server was wonderful even at the very end of her shift, and the co-owner was also very fun to chat with. Great atmosphere and even better beer. Try the pretzels, they are phenomenal. I'll be back the next time I come to town.

Rebecca Webb

Beer was very good. Was looking forward to enjoying one of your Pretzels but after seeing the price has gone from $5.00 to $8.00 for one we decided to pass.

Duncan “Duncaroni” Villeneuve

Fantastic beer, food and atmosphere!!

Jeff Ames

Friendly staff, relaxed environment, and great beer. Will be back soon.

Ahmad Addurobi

Hidden Jem. Prices are very good. Food is outstanding. Starter item filled me up. Beer is some of the best I have had. Not to mention it is Very clean. Plan to stop here in the future.

limestone holiday lighting

Great place for a casual drink with friends, good ales, nice easy menu (the sandwiches are excellent) and live music Friday & Saturday nights. We've been several times, always quality service

Jamie S

Excellent beer that is also reasonably priced. Just a short distance from the 401. Will stop in again!

Bradley Clift

Just recently expanded, it's great serves good food now as well as great beer

Kevin Tobin

Riverhead is a must visit. Staff was super friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. Their beers are a must try as is their food. Very happy we chose to grab bite while enjoying our flights. Highly reccomend!

Jason Douglas

Only a beer, Tropical IPA and there Cajun Kettle chips. Both where really good. Will definitaly will go again. Being from Ottawa, it won't be to often.

Terence “Wizard” Jones

Friendly staff and great food/ beverage options. Something for everyone even if you don't love beer (but who doesn't love a good beer?) Worth a visit for sure. Have been here 3 times so far with only good things to say.

Tim Gilbert

Travis Cellini

Awesome service ....comfy and great food !

chad chambers

Great Brews, great pizza

Andrew Fennell

While I appreciate COVID recovery is tough for businesses, it's important for expectations management when booking large groups. Our kids 12 year old hockey team had a team dinner in the private room tonight and we were a group of about 40 people. We were indeed told in advance that service would be slow due to our group size. We were also asked to preorder our meals 4 days in advance with the expectation that it would help stage the food. Unfortunately it took over 2 hours for the last pizza to come out. On the positive note, our servers were diligent and were on top of the drink orders but the food service timing was not acceptable for a hungry hockey team. This establishment should avoid accepting large groups until they get more capacity to cook more than 2 pizzas at a time. Suggest if you're booking a group to get clear timing expectations.

Luis Talledo

Amazing beer. Stopped by on a beer tour heading to Ottawa. Tried the Honey Saison, Oktoberfest Lager, Irish Red, London Porter in a flight tasting. All delicious!

Vinck Nade

Delicious beer and friendly service! Tasty food, too!

Kevin DeBoer

A recent addition to the microbrewery scene in Kingston, and wow! Their initial offerings are solid standards for microbreweries and they have done them well. The have a menu of sandwiches and soups and real pretzels. Located in the west end I wish them well.

Karen Marr

Very fine selection of ales and lagers with a emphasis on IPA. The Oktoberfest was spot on perfect and so was the Tropical IPA at 6.1% and 6o IBU. Tidy, spotless, and efficient setup with comfortable bench tables and bar stools. Lits of room for groups. Artistic hand-painted paddles on the walls add to the nice atmosphere. We had really superb sandwiches and kettlechips for lunch. The kitchen is on point. Check out the cheeky glass that has a "re-order line". I bought one just for that.

Service Critic

Awesome service, awesome selection, fair prices....When in this are I always stop to grab a few to go!....

Daniel White

Cozy atmosphere if you just want a drink at the bar. Order great food to sit in the casual dining area. Riverhead hosted a paint party where you can paint with instruction. Lots of fun.

Peter Maclaren

Ordered a pizza through DoorDash and they sent this insanely oily and flavourless disappointment instead. Will definitely never order again. Worst pizza I've EVER had.

Callum Winsor

Great locally brewed beer. A good selection of beer, friendly, grateful staff and good service.

Suzanne Hulton

Great service amazing beer good food!????

Mike Pelley

Great beer great prices

Owen Stanley

I had my late husbands celebration of life there and it was awesome. The staff were friendly, the pizza was amazing. They were so accommodating and the service was great. I highly recommend any kind of event having it there. Thanks Jeff and Fred.

Leah P

The best burgers ever! All the beers are amazing, and the staff is great. Excellent service (Sam and Hunter are the best servers). And finally, the price is absolutely fair.

Jeremy C

Great food and great beer. Love the atmosphere. One of my favorite places in Kingston!

Cathy Doyle

Excellent selection of beer to drink in or take away! BEST PIZZA we've had in years, maybe ever. A perfect balance. Light and slightly chewy crust, fresh homemade sauce, quality cheese and toppings. Simple comfortable atmosphere.

Greg Dunning

The owner here is awesome - friendly staff and all of their beers are a must try! Their beers are authentically made, for an example their German beer is made from wheat from German which they fly in or their Mexican beer is made from corn exactly how they do it in Mexico! If you’re ever driving through stop at Riverhead! ????

Jake Mcconville

I really enjoyed the Red Ale. Friendly service as well.

whistler whistler

Decent brews and reasonably priced flights. Wish they had more merchandise. I'm hoping they have the Mexican cerveza as a staple

J fotschuk

Great beers. Even styles of beer I normally don't buy were very good. Love the IPA and the milk stout. The lager was very good too and I don't normally drink a lager.

Kim Mackay

Amazing beers. Pretzels are fantastic. The cheddar dip and Chipotle dip are also bang on. Unfortunately the issue is that you can't serve bangin' pretzels without some quality mustards and they serve no mustard. I hope if they fix this issue then we have a 5/5 place to get food and drink in K-town!

Danielle M.

Great beer

Jon blank

Great place...my daughter's fa6

Matthew Holmes

I included pictures with this to hopefully clear up these "best burger ever" reviews. That was bar none the worst 1/3 of a hamburger I have ever eaten and I don't just mean at a restaurant. Aside from the fact it very clearly is pre-formed and came out of a Sysco box, it had very clearly turned. The bacon on top is the microwave pre-booked bacon you get at Walmart and was cold. The aged cheddar was processed American and not in any way aged. The kettle chips were mostly crumbs as can be seen in the photos and stale. I'm sure the beer is great but the food is awful. As an added bonus we weren't offered cutlery or napkins. And before anyone says I am doing this for free food, not even if they paid me would I go back. Not that the gentleman working made any offer when we expressed our concerns.

Adam Radway

best beer in town!

Sandy Burrows

(Translated) Great food great beer! Personal very welcoming I would have given 5 stars if the dishes would have been a little bigger! (Original) Bonne bouffe bonne bière ! Personnelle très acceuillant j'aurais donner 5 étoiles si les plats aurais été un peu plus gros !

Claudine Desautels

(Translated) Superb brasserie! Products brewed on site, a fine establishment where the owner takes the time to fully explain the types of beers. Beautiful quality creations. I honestly loved this place. Thanks Jeff! (Original) Superbe brasserie ! Produits brassés sur place, bel établissement où le propriétaire prends le temps de bien expliquer les types de bières. Belles créations de qualité. J'ai honnêtement adoré cet endroit. Merci Jeff !

Stephane Dube

I have been there numerous times, the staff is great and they give a military discount :) Their beer is great and they also serve food. I will for sure be visiting again...

Deanna Baker

Great brew pub. Atmosphere is good, it is small, but never too busy. Beer is great, but service can be slow at times

Todd Fox

Fantastic beer, superb food, and great atmosphere.

john davis

Amazing beer and pizza!! Absolutely lovely service !! All around fantastic place 5/5!!

Ryan Gillan

Great burgers! Love the Tropical Ale

Deven Young

Great mainstays but really enjoy the rotating special beers. That raspberry that they had this summer (2020) was amazing.

Laser Runner

Great beer, prices are very reasonable for good quality product and selection. Something for everyone. Darks, Tropical IPA, a Milk Stout that will turn any light beer drinker to the 'dark side'. The small restaurant has great food and cozy atmosphere.

Christine O'Keefe

Great IPA. Used "pressed" chicken in the tacos. Real turkey breast in the club sandwich though. Attentive and polite service.

Patrick Stephens

Great selection of beer. Had the tropical IPA and double IPA; both were excellent. Our bartender was super friendly, and the food menu, while small, was adequate for our tastes. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

Kim Bullett

ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE. I have had the opportunity to visit this place more than 4 times this month and I can say they are extremely knowledgeable and friendly compared to other places I've been. I'm now making this my only go- to beer stop; to which I'm certainly not a fan of beer; but they've changed this girl for the better! A MUST try is the Bumbleberry Sour ???????????? YUMMY! Thank you Riverhead! PS. I love you lol. Cheers

Brett Jarvis

The place is pretty new but they offer some nice brews. Guy managing the place was super friendly. Really liked the citra IPA.

Emily Beausoleil

On opening they only have four beers. Four Fantastic Beers that have given me a hard time choosing a winner. The food is, again, limited but really good. Atmosphere is nice, comfy, friendly. Staff are really nice, very personable. Order a Flight, or you're really just missing out on 3 other great beers.

Andres Lara-Contreras

Always friendly staff and delicious beers. Pretzels are a recommend.

Rebecca Kooi

Fantastic beer, fantastic food, fantastic staff!

Carrie MacDonald

Great time and amazing service. Highly recommend for a great beer!!

Gage McGill

Micro brewery offers Small selection of quality craft beers. I've stopped twice now when passing through kingston. They usually have a new seasonal beer I want to try each time I drop in.

Dday_1942

Great beer, great food, great service.

Please Ninja

A fantastic place with great beer and awesome service.

JB Racing

A great place to grab a delish beer and snack. They have a small menu but the food is good. Mostly apps and some sandwiches. We had the stuffed pretzel, cinco chips and philly cheesesteak. All of which were great. The service was friendly. And they had a bunch of board games we could play. Tons of space and they host trivia nights and paint nights.

Luke Dailleboust

Fabulous spot. The Tropical IPA is outstanding. Great location off Fortune Cres.

Zander Sadowski

This place is awesome! With the expansion and upgraded menu it's got even better. Looking for a great meal or just a quick pint, this is the place to go.

Blake R

Beers are fantastic, and the owners were a super pleasure to meet! Great service and beer, and wicked caramel pretzel!

David Rodrigues

You have to try their cheese stuffed pretzels! Definitely a nice vibe to the place.
