Brooks Brewery at the Northside Lounge - Brewpub in Manville - 100 Brooks Blvd, USA

My wife and I enjoyed our visit to this brewery! It reminded us a lot of the bar in the TV show, "CHEERS", "Where everyone knows your name." They have great tasting beer, a VERY positive and friendly atmosphere, and a VERY cheerful and helpful bartender...Katie and brew master, Arthur!

This place is the best!!! The food is delicious. Great people at the bar and the people who work there are amazing they make you feel like you have known them for years, I can't say enough good things about this place.

If youre looking for THE neighborhood bar.... this IS the place. Been a favorite hangout for years but recently booked the bar for a private party and Becca and the northside crew made it a totally easy and enjoyable experience. Not just for us but for every one of our guests. Good selection of pub food and craft beers and one of the few places to catch live music around. Becca made sure our event went off seemlessly and went above and beyond to ensure it was a hit!!!!!

Worst bar in town, don’t go here. Full of drama 1 sided people. The pool table is awful to play on, they constantly move it for bands and place band equipment on top of it so it’s never leveled and there’s barely any room to shoot on it. Short cue required. Extra pint is better and has a pool table or goto mccormicks they have 3 pool tables.

If you looked up hole in the wall bar in the dictionary, there would be a picture of this place. Northside Lounge pulls no punches and what you see if what you get. If you want a local place to sit, drink and eat without the frills this is it. Great craft beer and friendly service though.

I have seen a couple ska/punk bands perform here and it's a vibe. Not a large venue by any means. The bar itself is caddy corner from the stage and about 5 feet away. But they make great food. The outside patio area is very nice for hanging out in general but also in between bands' sets. Both shows were free cover which is great if you are on a budget, tip your bartenders.

Staff is nice, other visitors are nice. It's a redneck-type town, so expect that vibe but I prefer the small-town vibe! Drinks are well-made, and pool/darts is always fun! The patio is nice. Live music is hit or miss, but 🤷🏼‍♀️

Small dive bar placed in a good location but - filled with rude locals and a condescending bartender. If you're not a regular and/or alcoholic then this place isn't for you.
