Sonder Brewing Taphaus & Kitchen — Restaurant in West Chester Township

We were traveling through the area and stopped at a nearby store. We love checking out breweries everywhere we go, and when we saw Sonder was next door, we didn’t hesitate. The bartender, Will, greeted us immediately with a very warm welcome. We had lots of questions for him regarding the beer and food selections and he was very helpful in making selections, despite tending to other customers. He didn’t steer us wrong, as he was spot on in his advice.

We started with the Bavarian Soft Pretzel, which comes as 4 sticks, with beer cheese and mustard. It was honestly the best pretzel I have ever had, hands down. We also got Fried Cheese Curds, which were also great. For the main course, my wife got the double patty Voss Boss Burger, which was amazing. It was very large and she couldn’t finish it. I thoroughly enjoyed the Beeria Grilled Cheese sandwich. All I can say is…WOW, this food was fantastic! I wish I could have tried everything in the menu, so we will have to go back.

The reason we were even there was to try the beer. I started with a NE IPA called You Betcha!, which was terrific. It is perfect if you like NE IPAs! My wife went with the Jeff’s Jams - Volume 8, which is an American IPA with habanero and peach. She loves it so much, so bought a six-pack to go. Next up was Kato, a Coffee blonde ale, which had great flavor. We tasted the Pog You Betcha! Which combined the You Betcha! With Passion Fruit, Orange, and Guava. It is a flavor that explosion, so be ready. It was very fruity, with a sweet and sour mix on the tongue. Lastly, I ended with Nocturnal, a dark lager. It was a refreshing take on a German style black lager, with roasted chocolate being the dominate flavor I noticed. A perfect fall/winter beer in my opinion.

Overall, this was an awesome place to visit. The food/beer, service, atmosphere, and facility were all top-notch. Sonder Brewing was the best thing about our...

Idk how this place has great reviews. The OG location is MUCH better. Food here is incredibly meh. They're trying way too hard on this menu. Nothing we tried was worth getting again. The chicken sandwich was bland and was generally not....great lol I wouldn't order it again, and I'm a big chicken sammy guy. It was just...weird and the ingredients didn't go well together. Pretzels and beer cheese were good. The fries were standard and absolutely nothing special - wouldn't get them again whatsoever.

Service was interesting. The guy serving me clearly didn't want to be there. He seemed rushed (I was the only one there ordering beer at the time) and disinterested in what I wanted to try or drink. I didn't get any good vibes from him. Disappointing!

The beer was ok, but they were out of the You Betcha! What?! Out of your best selling IPA?

One thing I will say is the food took just minutes and was VERY fast to complete and I was grateful for that.

In summary: MEH - I won't rush back unless the food menu changes and...

I have a disability and have a service dog. My girlfriend and I like to pick out “dog friendly” restaurants regardless of not having to do so. We arrived at the front of the business and looked for signs in regards to where to sit with a dog out of respect for other customers and the business and there was no signage or receptionist. We walked into the foyer area where a taller skinny nan with glasses whom I assume was the manager ran into the foyer and and rudely said I can’t have you in my business you need to go outside. He then proceeded to try to hand us a menu while our hands were full and didn’t offer any service at all. I’m writing this in hopes the business can 1. Add signage 2. Better customer service an approach with customers 3. Maybe have an open mind and better approach. That employee just opened the business up to an easy lawsuit. I’m not that kind of person to do that I’m just reaching out in hopes it’ll be addressed if this were to occur...
