Great brewpub, super vibe, and really cool staff. Enjoyed all the brew I had here and the head brewer gave me a 750ml from his personal stash! What a guy! Nice selection of taps lots of cool stuff on. Can’t comment on the food, but it smelled good. Cool place.

i like the dark wood look. bar service is always great...most of those bartenders have been around for a while and they do a great job. food here is very good though a tad on the pricey side. house beers are average but brewers specialties and seasonals are usually very good.

To Newark s twin town for a visit (they really do have a lot in common), and to another IH sibling. Sunday after Christmas and the town was deserted, so no problem with parking. Clean and wooded atmosphere, mood lighting and ambient warmth. Food was typical Iron Hill, i.e., good and tasty but not particularly cheap. Had only one of the commons (the Vienna) and four, yes, four seasonals on rotation. Service was great, knowledgeable, and even somewhat flirty. Felt catered to, had a great time.

Good value for most of the beers (all were under 4.5 / pint). The bartender was pretty knowledgeable and friendly. Did not have any food at this location, but I assume it’s comparable to the other Iron Hills. The setting has a semi-city, semi-small college town feel to it and the remote parking isn’t super convenient (unless you luck out w/ a nearby meter). I wasn’t impressed with the beers here, although the selection was pretty large. All the standard flagship beers, one on cask, and three seasonal / specials.

One of the Best Brew Pubs that I have ever visited. In my two trips to Iron Hill the Brews and Eats have been Excellent - these guys definitely have figured out how to design a great menu and craft solid beers. As an added bonus visit Baldwin’s Book Barn just a few miles away - you will not be disappointed.

Finally made it to Iron Hill after what seems like years of intentions. Having only heard positives about the place, it definitely lived up to my lofty expectations. Surprisingly much larger than I would have guessed. Had the burger, which was excellent. Top notch beers for a brewpub chain as well. I will definitely be returning.

I was really taken with this place. Very nice setup. Had a mostly college aged kid crowd. I just got a burger, but it was good and they had like 11 or 12 beers on tap, deffiantly worth a stop.

Nice looking place that is in the ’happnin’ area of West Chester. Wait time on a Saturday night was nearly 1 1/2 hours for a table. Bar service was good, but very busy. Offerings varied a bit from what was on the website, although I can’t complain with both the porter and APA on cask. Food was very good as always with Iron Hill. My wife really enjoyed it, which says something about a beer place. Low point of the night - My wife orders wine, they give her barleywine, I taste and confirm its barleywine, I have to watch the bartender pour the barleywine down the drain in order to make room for my wife’s wine. Ouch.

A nice brewpub with the decoration done in a combination of steel, glass, and wood. Outside seating on the sidewalk. I prefered the large bar area, at the horse shoe shaped bar. The menu has a really good explanation of all the beers, of which they had 8 on draft (4 I hadn’t tried before) and 8 reserve bottles (of which I’d sampled 3 earlier), but the reserve bottles are quite pricy ranging from $13 to $22, whithout any of the beer being outstanding. I had an OK turkey burger.
