If I could give this place zero stars I would! I have never felt so unwelcomed and disrespected in my life! This wasn’t our first visit to 3 Sons brewery but it sure is our last. I invited my family, closest friends and classmates to celebrate my graduation from nursing school and gather somewhere where we can all watch the super bowl. We called the day before to make sure they can accommodate a large party and asked if there were any special events. We were told it was the super bowl and it was a first come first serve basis. So we arrived at 4:30pm to an empty brewery. We right away opened our tab and began to drink as our party began trickling in. We brought a small cake and cupcakes which staff saw us bringing in and didn’t say a word. Instead all we got were dirty looks and horrible service the entire time. Especially by one staff member Ivana Levinson she made it a point to express to us that we weren’t welcomed. She came up to us and instead of introducing herself and welcoming us to the brewery she said we couldn’t save seats that her manager had cameras and was watching us. We then said no problem our guest will sit down as they arrive and gathered our belongings to 2 tables. Mind you the entire brewery was empty on Super Bowl night! Ivana then stood at the bar arms crossed like a body guard staring at every person in our party with her dirty looks, we continued to ignore it. We ordered a bunch of food and beer, more than what this place would probably make in weeks. We decided to get the room on the far end of the brewery so that we wouldn’t disturb other guest. Our children were on their best behavior I thought what a perfect way to celebrate… this wasn’t a rowdy bachelorette party this was a room filled with kids, family, and all professional individuals (firefighters, several police officers, teachers, and nurses) we were all treated like criminals for bringing in a cake and a syringe with red jello to celebrate my graduation from nursing school. Instead of telling us when we walked in that it wasn’t allowed they waited until everyone spent money on food and drinks and then proceeded to kick us out. Mind you like I mentioned before this isn’t my first time here I’ve celebrated 2 other occasions here that had a cake and decorations and no one said a word! To make things even worse my graduation gift was a video message tribute from my friends and family, which they decided to interrupt it right in the middle and right before the super bowl halftime show. So uncalled for and pathetic if you ask me. Thankfully our waitress Amber did such an amazing job we personally thanked and tipped her because it wasn’t her fault for the poor management and overall horrible experience. The manager came and said “who is the organizer?” “You guys need to grab your stuff and get out!” Without an explanation just called the cops as we were gathering our belongings and finishing up our beers. I made sure to thank the manager for ruining my special night and he said “I hope you left a tip” lol incredible what I am going to do is share my experience with everyone to make sure this doesn’t happen to anyone else again! I will never come here again! Pics of the dirty looks and empty...
Read moreThe 90's Alt-Rock house music caught my ear as we stopped in at 3 Sons Brewery straight off the cruise ship in Fort Lauderdale. Christina "The Beer Girl" immediately began cooing over the densely fruited Imperial Smoothie Sours, and I was impressed with the several variants of their Barrel-Aged Broward County Brand Stout. Untappd fans were correct in giving this young brewery (founded in 2019) an amazingly high average score of 4.12.
We sat down for a quick chat with Corey, 3 Sons' founder and head brewer, over wood-fired pizza and wings, and some of the best craft beer in Florida. A humble man, Corey explained how he developed as a brewer. He first honed his pallet as a homebrewer for many years, then started hitting up bottle shares and quickly received a special invite to pour at large beer festivals where he won "Best Beer" and "Best Brewery" awards among others. When asked about what brewing secrets he'd developed, he said that balancing flavors, selecting the right ingredients, and having a keen pallet made all the difference.
A family brewery, 3 Sons was named both for Corey's 3 sons and because he built the high-ceilinged energetic spot with his dad. Some of the unique flavor aspects they built into their brewery include a slow-pour tap and a wood-fired menu. The pizza was the best we'd had at a restaurant in a long time, with fresh dough made daily and tons of pepperoni.
Christina's favorite beers were: Green Gorilla Hazy Triple IPA with hints of Juicy Fruit gum. Forever Stoned Pastry Sour with accents of apricot cinnamon s'mores. Hollow Grounds Hazelnut Imperial Brown with deep nuttiness.
Overall Score: 5 Stars! A "must-stop" when you get down to Fort Lauderdale. At less than a mile from the airport, there's no reason...
Read moreThis place is amazing, honestly, it’s so underrated and the food is SERIOUSLY GOOD! Beers are great, but if I was about to check out and had to choose one last meal it would be the pork belly pink pineapple pizza. We’ve had it a few times now, (we are big foodies) but this time they added cilantro micro greens. DANG that was perfection to what I thought was an already perfect pizza! We have never had any of their menu items that aren’t fab. We used to get the meat or cheese boards but I can’t say no to that dang pizza! You can tell they use quality super fresh ingredients and we’ve been to Naples Italy specifically for pizza so we know a good pie. The wood fire is just right! I saw a comment about needing to be cooked more but that’s HOW it’s supposed to be! American crispy “cheese and crackers” is weird lol. The pork belly on this pizza is also to die for set off by tangy pink pineapple and rich cheeses and sharp cilantro micro greens - literally a party in your mouth. Get a side of the home made blue cheese to dip that glorious crust in! THAT STUFF IS LIKE CRACK. Idk what’s in it but dannng! Please bottle and sell that! Plenty of beers for all tastes - I like sours, hubs is an IPA guy so we love being able to get a wide variety. Would love to see flight trays thou. It was busy with trivia tonight so maybe they have them and we’re just all taken. Honestly that pizza thou LOL! Also our server… Deana was SO sweet and so helpful and made some great beer suggestions. We love this place - bad a** vibe, amazing food, great beers, great staff. Just...
