Brewer's Alley - Frederick, MD

Brewer's Alley - Frederick, MD

Maryland, Bar

A popular brewpub with plenty of seating. Brewer’s Alley is centrally located in downtown Frederick and is one of the flagship watering holes in the area. The menu has a lot of options, so there is something for everyone, and it isn’t just your typical bar food.

Rating: 3-star plates 🍽️ 🍽️ 🍽️

In terms of service Brewer’s Alley is quick when it comes to seating, and the waiters constantly check in but not in like a harassing type of way. It’s a good vive, relaxed but they play decent music if that is your thing. Check them out, they have a great rooftop so if you are looking for some fresh air this is a good spot to go. There is also a patio out front!

For drinks the mojitos are good but could be stronger so I would definitely go light on the ice.

Margherita pizza

I plan to go back for their lobster special on Thursday nights, but I do try their margherita pizza it’s absolutely delicious. Very fresh tasting.
