We stopped in there on Thursday night at the end of July to celebrate an anniversary. There was plenty of seating and the atmosphere was lively. We ordered a seasonal sampler platter of beer and some cheese curds. We were told that several of the beers were not available so they had to substitute some of them for us. The service was quick and polite for the drinks however the appetizer took quite a long time to get. After a few rounds of drinks we inquired as to the food status and was told that the kitchen was backed up. The server apologize for the delay. When the food came out it was very hot and was a good portion size. Honestly very tasty for cheese curds and not too much breading. Overall we spent about an hour at the Galena brewing Company and have a good time despite the long delay for the food. The service was attentive for the crowd size, the food was hot, and the beer was cold. Not much more to ask for for Thursday night out. We would definitely recommend the Galena brewing Company for a reasonably priced meal and appetizer.

We stopped in on Easter basically because most other places weren't open. We were seated relatively quickly and both my wife and I ordered different drinks from the server. I had the Kaleidescape and she had some type of Margarita. Neither were bad considering their specialty is beer. We looked over the menu and ordered appetizers only to be informed after the fact they had run out of cheese. That unfortunately reduced the appetizer menu drastically because a large number of items (nachos, 1 pound pretzel...etc) needed the cheese to be made. We ended up settling on the wings and split the 8 by doing 4 barbecue and the other 4 Chipotle barbecue. They were kinda on the small side buy still tasty. My wife ordered the gyro for dinner (spelled Gryo on the menu 😋) and I the much amped House Chicken strips which came with a side ( I chose fries) and either a side salad or soup. My dinner was expensive ($24) but it was quite delicious. My wife also enjoyed her gyro and we both left quite full and happy.

Came here on October 2nd 2023. Had the 1 lbs pretzel and the onion rings. Both fantastic!!! D and John are great and fantastic. Fun to talk to. I highly recommend the 1 lbs pretzel. My suggestion is to do a food eating contest with the pretzel. If you can eat it in under 10 minutes, you get a special prize. Took me under 13 minutes. It would be fun to see.

I would still recommend this place to anyone in Galena. Travel photographer from Galena.

Very nice tap room. There’s plenty of room to hang out with friends. The food looked good, but we had already eaten. The beers are about average.
