Reviews for Big Grove Brewery & Taproom in Iowa City, IA
Love the vibe at Big Grove Brewery & Taproom in Iowa City, IA. This place is great! Huge outdoor seating area with plenty of... space to hang out. Inside has multiple large screens to watch the Hawkeyes play. The beer selection is outstanding and the foodis great as well. The Easy Eddy Hazy IPA is my ?go-to? and the Classic Bone-in Buffalo Wings still hold up! Big Grove isdefinitely a must on game day. Read more

A great brewery in Iowa City. The place is huge and have a lot of outdoor seating. They also have a kids playing area. They have... beer selection based on season, which was great. The food kept up with the beers. The crispy cauliflower was very good. Thefries were crunchy and good. So this a perfect place with a combo of good food and beer. Read more
This lunch hour+ exceeded any of our expectations and was INCREDIBLE! The selection of beverages on tap was great, and included... more than just Big Grove brews. The amount and variety of food choices on the menu was just right. When there are too manyofferings, we get nervous as it has been our experience that a restaurant can't offer everything and have it all be good! Weshared the fondue fries as an appetizer and each had a burger, all of which were very good. The best part of our experience,however, was the service. Our waiter, Alex, was friendly, attentive, and helpful. As new, interested customers, we were offereda tour of the brewery and even the lab after our meal. Chad went above and beyond to show and tell us all about their brewing aswe toured the facility, answered any and all of our questions, and made sure to point out any obstacles for me as I have aphysical disability which affects my mobility. I cannot say enough about Big Grove Iowa City, except that we WILL be back!! Read more
I have stopped in here a few times when traveling to Iowa to visit family and quite honestly, even with just a few visits, this... place is on my list of favorite breweries. Haven't had a bad beer yet here, plus the space at this location is spacaious andquite nice. A perfect pit stop when I fly into Des Moines or Cedar Rapids and heading down to SE Iowa. Read more
Fondue Fries and a Royal Eddie followed by the Coconut Curry makes for a wonderful meal. (And yes, if you get the fondue fries... your plate will be this empty before you even think about a photo!) Ending your meal with a little shuffleboard never hurtseither. Read more
It's a cool location and they do a great job running it. The beers were great with a nice range in variety. I particularly liked... their sours and IPAs. Our service was quick, knowledgeable, and friendly - even with it being a very busy day. All of our foodwas tasty, the cheesy fries appetizer was well worth it as well. I'd definitely come again!

Coming in from a different state and my wife and I enjoyed some time at this brewery. It was packed due to it being after an... Iowa Football game on a Saturday and they were tapped out on "Boomtown" that I was looking to try. My wife and I went throughseveral of the 7oz draft options and aside from one overpowering Sour, everything was fantastic. The scene is great andinviting at night with all the fire pits going and neat lights above the bar. We purchased some merchandise from their sidestore but had to wait quite a while for someone to man that register for us. Read more
