We had a really nice visit here. It was Sunday and fairly early for dinner, but the place was quite crowded considering how large it is. They had an interesting menu, with some variations on the typical bar food you might expect walking in, and the items we ordered were plenty solid. As for the beers, they ranged from mediocre to pretty solid, with more of them leaning toward the good side. They also had some styles you may not always find at a brewpub (Rauch, Impy Stout, Tripel) which was nice. The trainee we had serving us was pretty confused, but very nice, and she was clearly trying, so I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt. I’d re-visit.

Came in here on a Saturday and the guy didn’t charge me cover after I said I was just here for the beer. The music was really good, however. Beers were ok - nothing mind blowing but nice to have something in area. Sample tray is pretty cheap if I recall correctly. Food wasn’t quite as good - had a very rubbery chicken sandwich. It was last call for food of the night, so maybe that had something to do with it.

The entrance on the main street in Princeton may be a bit tough to catch, but once you spot it and walk down the long hallway everything opens up immensely. This place is gorgeous, big open space, lots of revealed brickwork, large high ceilings permitting two levels. As I got here at about 11:30 on a Thursday, there was no crowd so to speak. There was an afternoon Met’s game so the bar had been set up to have that as an event. $2 foot long hot dogs, $3 pints during the game. I sat myself at the lower bar amidst bowls of diced onions, relish, and ketchup and mustard bottles in preparation for the baseball crowds. Prices here are pretty good as well. They had seven beers on, and a sampler of all of them (seemed to be four ounce pours) was $9. During the day there’s also a bar menu in addition to the large menu of reasonably priced food. Got a grilled cheese, side salad, and an order of fried pickles for a total of $11. Hard to beat that. Service was great, very friendly and fast (I’m sure it helped that I was the only one in the bar for a while). Could also have been because it was the start of the shift and work day, but everyone I saw working seemed happy and smiled a lot. Food came out quickly and was done well. Beers that were there when I visited – 2 IPAs, oatmeal stout, witbier, amber, blonde, and a dortmunder/helles. Some were solid, most were a step or two above typical brewpub beers. Also, free wi-fi is always a good thing.

Located on a street with a downtown-ish feel right next to the University. I found parking to be a slight challenge. The place looks VERY much like it used to be an old theater, and today it is adorned with artwork and movie memorabilia. There are three levels in the place. The bar itself is on two of the levels which is kinda cool and there are tables on the upper level. Technically the brewhouse is on a fourth level, between the upper part of the bar and the upstairs seating. The bartender was professional enough. Food prices were solid with some good specials. I got a massive buffalo chicken sandwhich with a ton of house made potato chips for $7. The beers were all pretty solid. Overall, this is a great place.

Decor is similar to the Philthy location, with very high ceilings and lots of blonde wood and silver contrasting in that kinda late 90s look. Very pleasant atmosphere, good acoustics and flow to the space. Comfy booths, and a nice substantive (and well priced) food menu helps considerably. Good range of brews on tap, lots of seasonals, some casks, and the beers’ quality is pretty solid too. If you’re in town, it’s a must.

Having been to this brewpub three times I have not been disappointed once. The food was excellent, though the brew list is short they are well done and the service was excellent. Not your normal college town pub and I’d highly recommend. Not to be confused by Triumph of New Hope about 15 miles away which is near opposite.

Great place and great beers. If you want to drink a good american beer while visiting princeton, this is the place to go to.

Good location on the main drag in Princeton. Nice setup inside. Solid selection of some tasty beers. The pork belly sandwich was amazing. Definitely a ’must-stop’.

I had already visited their other esablishment, but since we were int he area. No difference in the beer. I hate to down anyone, but their beer always seems watery to me. However the food, and service are always good.

I drove 40 miles out of my way to sample this place, because New Jerseys is not exactly blessed when it comes to craft beer. If you get lucky you might find on-street parking, but most likely you’ll be in the parking garage which is a block away. Also there’s a used record store on South Tulane that, if you make a purchase there, Triumph will give you a buck off the first pint. I thought the architecture and the decor were stunning though the two-level design of the bar means the bartender gets quite a workout. They’re definitely trying to match the upscale nature of the area clientele. They only do 6-7 beers at a time including a cask conditioned something. The Roggenbock was by far the star of the show for me. The meal I had was solid as well. I’ll definitely go back if I’m in the area.
