O’Griff’s Irish Pub and Brew House

June 8, 2008 [ Updated June 12, 2008 ]
The beers were mostly below average with the stout and porter being pretty good. A large bar with lots of room and no pretensions. The soup I had was pretty good. I had a sampler that consisted of 9 beers, each with 5 ounces. A little much and I only drank half of half of them. An ok place, but certainly not worth going out of your way to visit.

I went to this brewpub last Halloween and it was a fun place as well as a great beer site. It is an old style brewpub / bar and has the large old wood bar and ambiance to go along with it. It is definitely not a new building and has not been modernized. There are pool tables in back, etc. As well as their own offerings, the pub also had a nicely stocked cooler with a good variety of beers. It was a fun place and the Halloween atmosphere made it more fun. I have been twice and will return on my next trip to Quincy.

(06/08- Back in Quincy on business, this place has gone downhill fast, much more of a BMC focus. Not worth a special trip to investigate for the brewpub fan. (09/07- O’Griff’s has a new brewmaster and so far the results are not that promising, the quality of the house brews has gone downhill. I will update my review in the near future, I want to give the new brewmaster a second chance.) (10/07, the homebrew is second, no, third rate. This bar now has a BMC focus. If you see a positive review for one of O’Griff’s beers, it’s for their old brewmaster, as of 10/07, their house brews are of poor quality.) Easily the best beer bar in Quincy. The best brewpub in the area. When you first walk in, strikes you as not as an Irish Pub, but as a riverfront tavern. The brews are actually quite tasty and balanced, much better than expected from the pub appearance, the food is also good, better than most restaurants in Quincy. Boulevard on tap as well as their brews. Full bar and low priced wines, but get their brewpub brews, reasonably price and worth it. In easy walking distant from the two best riverfront hotels in Quincy. The brewmaster is quite ambitious, a must try for the brewpub lover. $4.50 for six 5 oz. samplers of their brews. $11 for a new half gallon growler, $8 for refill.
