Simply horrible. Located downtown, I found parking on a Friday afternoon to be no problem. Decent ambiance. Worn down, but nice enough. I did not try the food, and you couldn’t pay me to after my experience. The beers ranged from average to poor, with some flaws in several of the beers. But customer service was the worst. The bartender was very rude, could not tell me how big the sampler glasses were, and botched up the order of the beers. I think I got them right, but if I got them wrong it’s the bartender’s fault. $8 for a sampler of 8 beers. It’s a damn shame because I chose not to go to another brewery to stop here, since it’s less likely I’ll get to Aiken than to the other town. That was a big mistake. I will not be back here.

Burger and wings are average price. All other foods are way overpriced for the area. The wings and sauce were good, but they weren’t breaded. I like breaded better. The burger was a frozen patty without any seasoning. Nice bun though. The beer is good, but my IPA tasted like a Pale Ale and my West Coast Pale Ale tasted like an IPA. Both were good, but having the styles wrong is lazy that seems to describe the place. More time could be taken to clean it. The wood floors are trashed, the bar smells like old beer. The brew equipment in the front window is fascinating and when it first opened, they gleamed. Now it’s run down looking, no doubt that’s normal with years of use, but it’s the very first thing that’s seen, so it should be a lot cleaner and kept up. As the years go by, it’s turning into a dive bar. I live in North Augusta and it’s the only brew pub in the area... but it’s just not worth the time and gas to make the drive.

Pretty much the only brew pub in the area. Limited menu, decent microbrews but nothing to scream about. Could be a great place if they had some competition to drive them there. Upstairs bar is cool and less crowded.

Small brewpub in downtown Aiken, SC. Always have a variety of brews on tap and quality food at a fair price. My favorite order is the Powder House Porter and a "Big Tony".

Downtown Aiken about 20 minutes from Augusta. Dine inside or out. Pub type food, wings/burgers po boys etc or salads. Seven beers on tap for this visit, will review later. Atmosphere nice and laid back, fantastic service and decent food and beer.

Nice ambiance, set in the quaint downtown of Aiken SC. Tried 6 beers--the Nut Brown Ale was Very good. Kitchen had closed, so I can’t speak for the food. Service was very good. I would definitely go here again.

A must stop. Wide variety of beers to choose from all very good. Food was good. A little off the beaten path but a must stop if you are within 50 miles. Finding parking was a little difficult. There was a short wait but you can get a beer and go outside and wait on the side walk. Very friendly staff.

Surprising little gem. Comfortable, cozy and oozing locals charm. Way buzzier and livelier than I could ever have expected from such a sleepy town. Refreshing to see that the most hoppin bar in this equestrian community happens to brew their own. Nice, and food is home cookin too.

Pretty civilized. Good service, good beer, good food. Raucous bar filled with happy locals. I have to say, this was well worth the stop and I’m sure I’ll find my way back.

Aiken Brewing Company was a very pleasant lunch stop. The downtown area in which it’s located is clean and well organized with an appealing historic quality. The service we received was friendly and prompt. All of the food was reasonably priced and I had some difficulty choosing due to a few very appealing selections. I ended up eating a lamb gyro and trying the beer sampler. I’d like to make this a regular stop as my experience was good and according to their website, they change their selection rather frequently. However, it is quite out of the way for me. I’d definitely recommend this for any beer enthusiast in the area.
