This place is in either a shoppers paradise or stripmall hell, depending on your point if view. For me it’s the latter. Fortunately when you’re done gorging yourself on American capitalism run amuck you can stop in for a pint or two. You get sux samples for nine bucks here, or you can just try the obe seasonal and one special, they were the highlights for me - the rest of the stuff was mediocre. The food is terrible - salmon cakes tasted like breaded cardboard. Oh well, if you have to shop, cone here too.

Located in a shopping plaza in Bowie Town Center, DuClaw Brewing Company offers a nice selection of locally brewed beer. Plenty of seating is available in the restaurant, as well as more tables and stools in the bar area. Beers include their six regulars, as well as a varied selection of seasonal offerings. While their beers are not among my favorites, I do enjoy most of their selections, and the brews always taste fresh. DuClaw usually has a nitro-tap offering, as well, which is very cool. Food is decent, and better than your average bar food. Service is prompt and friendly, though the vibe is more corporate than intimate. Prices are reasonable, and DuClaw has happy hour specials. Overall, this is worth a stop if you’re in the area. If you’re a native, you should definitely stop in, sample the beers, and support your local brewery.

Nice bar in the town center complex. Big industrial feel. Pretty busy on a friday but i managed to sit at the bar. Service was friendly and knowledgeable. I didn’t get to eat but i heard the food was good. I would go back.

This location is housed inside a town center area with many other restaurants and shopping places. The interior is new and very open, though the bar can get crowded. Our service was pretty good. There were 15 house beers available, 1 of which was on Nitro. The appetizer we had was well made. The prices are really good, particularly considering your proximity to the District.

Stopped in for a few pints and a snack. Nice place. I sat in the bar and started with a Serum. Very tasty. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I was in during a slow time and chatted beer with the bar keep for an hour. The appetizer I had was delicious, but slightly overpriced. The beers were a solid value. I will go back anytime I’m in the area.

Nice modern atmosphere. Bar is seperated from rest of restaurant. Went on both Wednesday and Friday nights and both were relatively slow. First time I got the 10 beer sampler for $15 which is a pretty good deal as samples were at least 3-4oz. All beers were solid and they had 3 specials and a couple of seasonals. Food is upscale bar food. Fish and chips was a little weak for area but burger was solid. Will come back for happy hour which has some nice deals. Not what I would think of when a Northeastern brewpub comes to mind but this is much better than anything else in the area. Have been back about 5 times in the last 3 weeks and this place has grown on me. Bartenders are cool. Actually bought be a beer tonight, which never happens in this day and age. Best night to go is Tuesday. Happy hour prices all night long. Beers are pretty high quality overall. Can’t beat 3 glasses of Serum and Buffalo tenders and fries for under $15.

The brick facade doesn’t exactly do it for me, making me feel like I’m more in a jail cel, than even in a restaurant, let alone a brewpub. Their selection is pretty much on track with what the brewery offers, which is good and they’re not too snooty to sell you a growler of what they have on tap. Service can be sketchy, especially if you’re not sitting at the bar and the food is typical American-ish.
