Royal Docks Deathly Mallows | 6.4% | 3/13/2024 |
78 A nice brewpub in a strip mall in Canton. A large open space, no real bar just lots of tables and outside space. Food menu is fairly standard bar food with plenty of appetizers, salads, pizzas, classic pub dishes. I got a bruschetta trio appetizer and a BBQ fiesta salad, which was quite large and delicious. There were a number of interesting beers on tap. I suppose there is a tendency towards British styles, but other styles available as well. The porter and marshmallow stout were quite good. Certainly worth a stop in Canton. |
90 I really like this place for first time. Saturday late afternoon this place was packed. Had to go to bar to get waited on. Had porter and was very good. Had some pizza, that was good also. I will be back here again for sure! |
78 (Visited 09/2015 during the grand opening and several times since): Royal Docks is another newer addition to the Canton brewing scene, located in the Jackson part of town in a large shopping plaza on Fulton and Wales. Parking is plentiful in the shopping center (just not during the grand opening, as the lot was being used for a large outdoor stage and party). There is a patio in front of the building accessed by garage doors. The inside has a British taproom flair, complete with a UK-style phone booth. There are high tables to the right of the entrance, and a combination sit-down/walk-up bar in the back. The far wall has racks of barrels, and some brewery equipment is right out on the floor. There is also a large projection screen to the left of the bar. Behind the bar the wooden tap handles are situated against a pretty brick wall, and there are large-screen digital menus above. Royal Docks has around 12 beers on tap at any given time, and flights are available. Flagship beers like 67 Alaska, Prodigal IPA, Porter and London Signature as well as seasonals like 120 Shilling and Baba Yaga. They occasionally do a specialty bottle release of beers like Dæmonium too. The beers have been consistently solid. Service on my visits has been consistently good. The bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable, and I have even had the brewer stop by with a sample of a beer in process to try unsolicited. I have not tried food on any visit as of yet. Overall this is a fun brewery with a consistently good lineup of beers. |

76 On the one hand this is a generic retail mall storefront. On the other, there is lots of parking and an ambitious community based brewing outlet. The beers that I had were all solid, and the better than average pub grub makes it worth while to by for a meal. The British theme seems to be a thin excuse. I enjoyed my visit and would recommend this as a stop on any Canton brew tour. |
68 Really good beer. The prices for beer was decent, the pours were generous. Food was adequate, on par for a microbrewery, but certainly not a tremendous value. Watch out when using your credit card, as their iPad system of processing makes a 20% tip almost automatic. That’s somewhat deceptive, as the service didn’t justify a 20% tip. Be careful, they need to be a little less presumptuous with their tipping scheme. |
76 Stopped in early in the evening on a Saturday. Located in a strip mall type area back off the road. You can’t really see the place from the road, but you can see the big Buehler’s grocery store, so look for that. Plenty of parking is available. The building is really cool looking with fire tower things outside on the patio to keep people warm. They also have blankets on the chairs for people to use to keep warm. That’s something I’ve never seen before. Inside they have several tables and a small bar. At least it looked far too small because it was packed and there were a lot of people standing in line wanting to order beer. That part seemed odd. The only way to order anything was at the bar, but there really wasn’t anywhere dedicated to taking orders. Seemed pretty inefficient. Despite that, I was able to get a flight with everything they had on tap, which included two cask beers. A couple of the beers were really good, but most were more middle of the road. Full pour prices were ridiculously high, but the flights were priced well at $1 per pour. The full pour prices started at $5.50 for beers that should be $3. The bathrooms were pretty nice. Very clean. The whole place was very clean. If they step up their beers, this place will be a must-stop. I’ll be back to check them out after they’ve had some time to get their feet under them. |
