Bluewood Brewing — Restaurant in St. Louis

Do not go if you are a minority! This is my first time ever leaving a bad review but I had never felt on my life during my stay in MO any sort of discrimination until today. They refused to sit me or my friends in any of the tables saying they could not keep the 6 feet distance. However some polite customers offered to move farther do we could sit in the fine establishment. However, she still refused to have us sit. After multiple attempts, she stated that we needed to move out because there was a reservation coming up in "our specific spot". We tried to reserve and she said no and did not grant us the opportunity to reserve and told us to just wait outside. She ended up kicking us and we felt nothing but humiliated as every started staring at us and charged us still the 20% tip. We were the only group of Hispanics, afro Caribbean in the business. As Latinos, colored and some LGBTQ members we felt heartbroken to experience such acts in the year 2021. She never apologized for the situation and did not make any attempt for accomodations. The bigotry from this employee was beyond acceptable and it is unacceptable that customer were more willing to accommodate us than...

The ambiance of this brewery was nice. It's located in an old, historic building with amazing steelwork on the windows. Unfortunately, this brewery really oozes fear related to covid. It is way over-the-top. You can't provide a custom tip amount, no receipts, must wear a mask (despite having multiple open windows and doors and ple ty of air flow), are met by an awkwardly placed table that doesn't allow you to get to the bar, must have reservations, and you can't get a beer poured in an actual glass (cheap plastic cups will suffice?). Seriously owners?! Lighten up!

Most of the beer we found average at best, however, the barleywine and Belgian quad were standouts and the brewers should be commended for those.

Beer was slightly overpriced, particularly for the not-so-great location.

There is only on street parking and the neighborhood nearby is in the process of being gentrification (aka, make sure you watch your car).

This brewery is...

I was invited to a private tasting for their upcoming venue after moving here from the East Coast 3 years ago and I have finally found my brewery!

Y'all, be excited for this food! I got to try the fries and wings! Mind blowing! Subtle and unique takes on your traditional bar grub! They are about to be slinging some sop tier products from that kitchen!

The beer here, it tells a full story, unlike the other beers in Missouri! A beautiful brick and mortar, pet friendly on the patio, and supports a safe bar for the women!

Their IPAs rival that of Trillium, in Boston! Their Russian imperial tops even Freewill, from Philly!

Get out here and give them a shot, you will never want to go to any other...
