Reviews for The Old Bakery Beer Company in Alton, IL
Finally came through Alton at a time we could stop by and try Old Bakery. My husband was most excited about an English style ESB... and I was pleasantly surprised by their lemon lime seltzer. Thursdays are pizza nights and they have unique specials and canpretty much make up any other flavor you want. Tonight we had one with Gouda, bacon, apples and balsamic vinegar. The mainparking is opposite of the bar, so you get a surprise tour just walking through! We?ll be back for sure. Read more
The building is really cool. You can peek into the brewing area and they have plenty of seating in the main room and some... seating outside. They have a decent selection of beers and from what I hear they have an amazing selection of vegan food.Definitely worth a visit if you?re in the area. Read more
Great gose, great food, fun place! Historic building, amazing vegan options and staff was all so kind! The gift vending machine... in the hall was so fun too. Did some shopping :) Additionally important to us- they had really sustainable to go container(paperboard, not plastic or styrofoam) and seem really ecologically conscientious. Definitely recommend!

Super neat building with excellent food and beer! Loved the atmosphere of this neat brewery. Laid back and relaxed with a cool... vibe. All the beer we had was excellent! Made. On site, seasonal beers with an excellent selection of lagers and stouts. Thefood was all excellent with an excellent variety with vegan options. Very accommodating of my food allergy!! We all leftstuffed. Can't wait to go back!! Read more
The brewery has ample parking, unique beers and great food. I recommend the portobello toasted raviolis followed by the sweet... potato nachos! The happy hours are also great during the week. The cheeseburger is a MUST. As far as beers go, the porters aretasty and dark. The regular Porter and Raspberry Porters are my go-tos. If you don?t have to drive, try the Spooky Scary Porter.Stay away from the seltzers, they are not as bubbly. The space is great. You could have an event here. The art is great and thebeer hall has sound panels so you can hear the people at your table on busy nights. 5/5 every time. Read more
Very cool building and atmosphere. We got the vegan buffalo cauliflower wrap and impossible burger and both were fantastic -... particularly surprised by the impossible burger since they're often bland and over-priced, but OBBC over-delivered on bothentrees (and fries!). The beer and drinks were also great. Definitely coming back. Read more
Wanted to take a nice Sunday drive up the Great River Road, but before heading on our adventure we were looking for a place to... have a bite to eat, so we stopped here and I?m glad we did. Food was amazing! Ambiance was unique; the employees superfriendly and laid back. The restaurant is housed in an old commercial bakery building where they preserved the industrial feeland kept a lot of the old factory fixtures. They have an event space next too the dining room, which had an event in progressor i would have taken some photos of it. The food was excellent-my spouse and i shared the pretzels, which came with beercheese, the whole grain mustard was really good, but if your not a fan of horseradish, which i am not, it was a bit overpowering. I had the ?coop special? sandwich with a salad and the sandwich was awesome. The sourdough was grilled to perfectionand it was stacked with lots of meat and cheese. Would highly recommend. Read more
Have been by this place several times and finally decided to stop in. Glad I did. On entrance, you walk down a long hallway past... the brewing operation. That leads to a room with history about the building and bread company that once was there. Then youenter the main drinking and eating area. Very casual, kinda "hip" ( my jeans weren't skinny enough). I ordered the bacon jamburger, fries and an English pale ale. It was all spot on. Would definitely go there again and I could see where the place wouldbe packed on the weekend. Staff did their job but not overly friendly. Will definitely be back with friends Read more
