Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Dainton Brewery is a lively spot with "awesome atmosphere" and "yummy foods." The beer selection is a journey of unique tastes, especially the "pink beer surprise." Despite some noise concerns, live music adds to the vibrant ambiance. Friendly staff and standout dishes like the "brisket and burnt ends" make it a favorite.

    The service here was incredible. Between ordering and food arriving, I'd barely even had time to finish a glass of water. It was affordable compared to other restaurants with meat platters, and they tasted delicious! I 100 recommend for big groups or nice nights out with you and your partner!

    Was our first time visiting and we were very impressed. Staff were friendly and hands on. Food was timely and delicious and very well priced. Our portion also left us feeling fully and satisfied. Our kids enjoyed a jumping castle and were able to explore the brewery in a safe manner. Everything was clean and well spaced. Will be visiting again and look forward to attending on event nights.

    At first I wasn't impressed by the interior and the smell (the smell of beer). But after a while I started to enjoy the atmosphere, the beer and the very tasty food. I will definitely go back there again.

    Just a bit disappointed that food couldn't be paid for by cash. I understand that it is 2 different companies in the one venue but just disappointing.
