Brewdog is Brewdog A lot of bear to choose from, good selection for Brewdog and also guest selections. Dark bar in middle of florence, I go for one beer after every Pitti Oumo, im the only one in a suit though, but Staff still nice:)

I stepped into this joint and thought I was in San Diego. Excellent food, craft beer, and classic American rock. If u want Italian food, this is not the place. This is American food all the way. Great tasting burgers awesome fries, and tasty craft beer — try their blackmerry(?) black IPA! Food was so good that I ended up getting another dish, their burrito, which was also great! 5 stars for kicking butt with a cuisine that is not local

As excited as I was to come to Italy and eat endless pasta, bread, and pizza, my stomach has other ideas. After the past week of not having a full breakfast(which isn’t a thing in Italy, apparently) my hubby and I looked for a place to get a full lunch around 11:30AM — which is pretty early in Italy for ANYTHING. We stumbled across Brewdog on Unilocal and it did NOT disappoint. After living off croissants each morning rather than eating the crappy«American Breakfast» places offer, we decided to splurge and swing by. My husband got the Los Feliz Burger, and I got the Burger of the Month. Admittedly, I couldn’t tell you what it is… but I remember it was basically like a bacon cheeseburger with some cheese sauce. It was the BOMB. Two burgers and two beers, which my hubby seemed to enjoy — great! We plan on going back for dinner at some point if all else fails. Yeah, it’s American… Yeah, you’re in Italy… but if you’re desperate and homesick, then I would recommend swinging by here.

One of our favorite places we visited during our two week journey through Italy. Out of all the beer bars we tried, BrewDog had the best selection of beers(while others like Baladin seemed to disappoint). Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and okay snacks. Prices weren’t overly expensive, and didn’t get top crowded on a Saturday night. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get their craft beer fix in Italy. Location: Great as well, right by the trendy Central Market. Felt very safe. Good: Just okay. But a great change of pace from eating padta and pizza everyday. Large portions for low prices.

Good vibes. Cool art and games. Decent priced beer. Took a bit for a bartender to take our order but when they finally did, they poured my wine glass quite full.

We didn’t expect to find craft beer in Florence, so the BrewDog was a nice surprise. My bf insisted we go there for a pint nearly every night we were in the city. They always had a nice selection(mostly IPAs) and the bartenders were friendly. Extra bonus… on Thursdays(and I think Tuesdays) they do an awesome all-you-can-eat buffet for the price of a beer. Kind of a dark«punk» atmosphere inside, but don’t be scared off, they’re good people with good beer on tap and specialty beer cocktails, too

This restaurant or pub is located very near the train station and other main tourist attractions in Florence. The space is great to just sit down and chill. In addition for around 4 euros you can grab a tasty beer. Overall, I recommend this place if you want to try a craft beer while in Florence.

We were looking for Guinness but stumbled across this place first. And after fighting youths in the stairwells of the Duomo, we needed a damn beer. The Punk IPA was our choice and it was really good! The service was great and they have free wifi. Supes western though, it’s like stepping through the wardrobe and instead of Narnia you find America.

Brewdog — totally recommend. The craft beers were really well done. I liked each one I had there. They also have board games to play. It’s a more«Americanized» place so I’m kind of torn. I can get America at home so I want to do Italian while in Italy. Even the music was all American, mostly alternative/rock type stuff from what I remember. But, as mentioned, the beers were really good. And this was very conveniently located in close proximity to my hotel. So, was easy to stop here for a nightcap before ending the night. Get the WiFi password!

The beer is very good. This place caters to the gypies who are trying to sell you anything. They will touch the females and get very personal with them. The bartender will sell them cheap drinks so the gypies stay nearby. Go for a drink but by 1030 be very careful.

Great place for a craft beer in Florence. Super friendly staff. Nice selection. I’d get the sampler. And they are happy enough to give you free tastes. Also great selection of games: Connect 4, Jenga and foosball.

Amateur de pub, le Brewdog a attiré notre attention lors de nos vacances florentines. Placé dans une rue piétonne, il promettait de nous offrir des bières différentes. L’Italie n’étant pas forcément réputée pour ce type d’établissement, nous avons tenté le coup. Après une assez longue attente devant le bar, nous avons pu être servis de façon plutôt agréable. Il y a de nombreuses bières à la pression et quelques explications étaient nécessaires. J’ai aimé ma bière, sans plus, mais je n’ai peut-être pas fait le bon choix. Le lieu m’a clairement moins plu. C’est très, très sombre avec des lumières fluorescentes rouge ou bleu. Cela ressemble à un bar métal ou motard. Nous avons bu notre bière au sous-sol(là où il y avait de la place) et ça avait un côté franchement glauque. Le bar propose en revanche des assiettes de charcuterie-fromage ou encore un buffet à volonté pour un petit prix. Très appréciable pour ceux qui veulent se boire des bières tout en mangeant autre chose que des rondelles de saucisson. On trouve de la salade, des pâtes, un vrai buffet nourrissant.

Excited to finally try some Brewdog beer since we can’t get it in the states(at least not in Seattle) We absolutely love their beer selection and it rivals any brewery in the U.S. I had Punk IPA and it’s a very drinkable hoppy beer. 3 out of the 6 hops are from Washington so I might be a bit biased here. Beer is definitely the highlight and a place with free WIFI and affordable food is great! This gives me a break and provide a familiar taste. Food: I got a veggie burger which was a bit of a let down. My suggestion: patty is too soft and soggy. Add black beans, or quinoa or portobello to give a firmer texture. Fried jalapeños was fresh and good, maybe provide a source to go with it such as something tangy and sweet.

Honest pub. Large selection of beers(both Brewdog’s and other breweries’), a bit expensive though(€ 6 – 9 for a pint). The waiters are friendly, and knowledgeable about their beers — they can give good advice if you ask for some. The room is large, with many seats and a good rock playlist. However, it strongly smells of fries. Beware of your soon-to-smell-grease clothes.

Sunday afternoon. 10 beers on tap, small bar menu. Tight space, dark, noisy with one loud woman. We sat outside in Via Faemza.

Thank heavens for this place… in a country full of great wine we desperately yearned for a great craft beer and this place did not disappoint. By far my fave was Punk IPA. Is it sad we stopped by for a drink every night in florence? I think not.

Great beer, incredible food for an American if you’ve spent a few days in Italy and need a fix. The prices are also very good for the area.

We’re big fans of Brew Dog and we were happy to see that they had a Florence location to save us from the unappealing beers we saw everywhere else. This is a nice spot and it also has a bottom floor with cool paintings and bean bag chairs that make it feel like I’m back in college. When it comes to the beers, I’ve never had a bad one. The standards are all solid: Punk IPA, Dead Pony Ale and 5am Saint. Also really like the Jackhammer IPA and a few of the stouts. Didn’t have anything to eat, so I can’t speak about the food, but the beer is fantastic. One of the coolest things about my visit here was bumping into the dude working here rocking the sweet original Air Jordans. I complemented him on his retro kicks and it got us talking about MJ(his airness, not Jacko) and the Chicago Bulls. This guy was a fan and we had a nice chat about the team. Leave it to me to find a Bulls fan in Florence. I can’t make this stuff up. Random observation that just about any NBA gear that I see around the world is that stampeding team from the Windy City. Go Bulls!

I stumbled into this place because of the signage outside. It looked empty but we decided to go in. This place reminded me of an American bar and I felt at home. There are two levels and we didn’t realize that until we were leaving. Staff is friendly and speaks amazing English. I loved the«Santa Paws» beer.

The best beer in Firenze! The food selection is UK/US style pub food and okay — we got wedges. But let’s be honest, you are here for the beers. Good prices and nice variety from Brewdog. Their beers tend to be hoppy and somewhat high ABV, so take it easy! Get a flight of four beers to try as many as possible. If you are from USA, Brewdog is hard to find or very very expensive, so this is an easy choice to make. Since it’s located close to Santa Maria Novella and on one of the oldest streets in Florence you can bet there are lots of options in the neighborhood for food or hotels as well.

Brewdog happens to be one of my buddie’s favorites so he was a bit excited to find out the first location in Italy was in Florence! Was it fate? Perhaps a testament to the potency of their brews was that I forgot just about all the names of the beers I had that night. Ok, so what do I remember? –A number of the beers on tap are brewed locally, with some collaboration beers with other breweries from other countries. –I liked all the beers I had, the only thing that made me sad is that you don’t get a full pint with the beers that have a high alcohol content. –Somehow this Brewdog is a nexus for English speaking beer lovers. I could overhear many North American accents, we’re worldwide! –English speaking bartenders will assist you with choosing something that fits your tastes, and may drop some knowledge in the process. –There is a downstairs area as well, that could be a cool hang out spot.
