5th Company Brewing — Restaurant in Perryville

Absolutely hands down one of the best breweries I visited. Place is quite big for a brewery and offers tables outside ( def nice addition for a cool evening). They have a few big rooms where they run comedy shows , musical nights etc, they do rent for private events also ( not sure about the price ) The food was fresh and absolutely delicious ( they do catering) , kitchen stuff is definitely taking a pride in what they do , plus I saw them several times goofing off , so that’s always a great sign, Happy people- make happy food😍 and I was right , it was absolutely delicious 🤤 price was reasonable, fried pickles were $9 and pork belly sliders $14 ( on special) . But the best feature is a Beer-tap 🍺🍻 where you can help yourself, And they charge you by ounces you put in your cup , kinda like gas on the gas station! So you have an option of serving yourself about 15 different beers with any amount you like from as little as few tablespoons( just to try) all the way to the full cold glass of fresh brewed . Dave was super helpful and welcoming , he took his time to explain how all this works , expressed quite a knowledge of the beer and brewery in general. Never “abandoned “ me and make sure I have all I need at all time . Unique, welcoming and pleasant - that’s the three words I would like to use for this place .If you are any near , do stop by, it will definitely...

Awesome laid-back vibe with friendly staff. This was our first time at this establishment. The bartender told us to sit anywhere then came over and walked us through how the set up works. You can either sit at the bar and order drinks or use a self serve tap which takes a card and charges per oz. There is food which is a separate transaction from the drink tab. The food is ordered at a window and they give you a buzzer so you know when it's to ready for you to go pick it up. The food was delicious. They have the best fries, different and tasty. The Brewers Classic burger was great. That crunchy bacon and melted cheese.. mmm. My hubby really enjoyed the Front Street sandwich, he said it was great, best sandwich he's had out in a while. We both enjoyed a beer, a Pumkin Ale and the Something Dark. Both refreshing with no overwhelming flavors, subtle yet delsih. We liked the "get it as you want it" lay out, it made it feel more relaxing and chill. It's not a sit down and be served spot, so keep that in mind. The prices are as to be expected for both the beer and food. Glad to see something like this...

I've been here a few times for trivia and they have a decent to good selection of beers and a good trivia hosted by Charm City Trivia. There's two big things that dropped the rating here.

1. they changed the fries when they expanded the menu. The old fries were absolutely the bomb. The new ones are fine, but not nearly as good.

2. And this one is the big one... They have a self-serve tap system, where you get a card and just pour yourself beers that get charged to the card. Then when you cash out, they have an option to close your tab by dropping the card in boxes labeled for the amount of tip you want to give the bartender, and the only options are 20% and 25%.. If I had to serve myself the whole night, why would I give the bartenders a 25% tip? 20% is already very high when they're not doing anything but giving me a card at the beginning of the night, but 25% is ludicrous. Pay your employees more and don't rely on your customers to tip an extra 1/4 of their listed price to supplement your poor wages. It's trashy as...
