Lion Bridge Brewing Co. - Cedar Rapids

Above average IPAs, some fun sours, and decent traditional style beers. Decent pub food. Fish tacos are good. Chicken sandwiches were decent but seemed like it may have not been the freshest fryer oil based on how the breading tasted. Pierogis are a great snack as well!

Great casual brewery, with a spacious interior and some outdoor seating that overlooks the bridge to New Bo. The selection of brews is quite interesting, and the food looked good. The servers will help you to make your selection from the decent draft list. There are also some cans available for purchase.

The beer was excellent especially the crushberry, the food we got was mixed; pretzel bites were not great, paragoies were great, the burgers/chicken sandwiches were good however the beer cheese here was different from how I have ever had it served and was served cold and was a paste like consistency vs a warm cheese dip consistency was not a fan of that. Overall… alcohol 9.5/10, food 6/10

They were really busy and we were told up front that it would be about 45 minutes until our food would come out, but we were seated immediately as it wasn't packed. We also had some popcorn from the almost famous popcorn place to keep us preoccupied until something came out of the kitchen! And even though the wait was long, the waitress took our drink orders and had them out pretty timely, then she would check up on us and give us status updates about our order. I knocked a star off bc there were a couple people seated long after us that received their food quickly. Not sure what happened in the kitchen, but maybe hire more cooks? The food was delicious though and the pierogi skins were so soft and delicious! Almost reminded me of the pierogis i had in Poland... almost ?. The beer cheese burger had a slight kick to it which i really enjoyed... would even have liked if it was a little stronger, but a pleasant surprise nonetheless! Needless to say, the experience was just fine and i had a good conversation with my friend while we waited. When the food came, we didn't talk much though... long day of sight seeing and not eating made us super hungry so we gobbled it all up without coming up for air ?

Bad night as we walked in after a group of 19. We were warned it would be a long wait. Ok with that. However, our first drinks sat empty for an hour as two waiters walked by many times and never asked if we needed anything while we wait. Every single burger or sandwich is served on a pretzel bun. ?apps were good once they came but they were gone before anyone took our order for food. Probably an hour and a half in before that happened and then it still took way too long for the burgers. My husband had to go to the bar to get us a second drink. Just a terrible experience. Some food was good, some not so much. Burgers were premade burger patties. The mgr told us he was going to comp everything, then they come back with free dessert and a $60 bill. Ok? We went from $0-60? So then he comped the alcohol and two meals. We still ended up paying for too much considering. We won’t be giving them a second chance.
