Review Felons Brewing Company - Brisbane

Les becher
The best thing about Felons is the view! They have many different spots (indoors and outdoors) where you can enjoy a few beers or cocktails. They also have a section with a giant screen to watch football matches or whatever. Best of all, it's super big, so you have many spots to choose from and spend the afternoon with friends. In case you are vegan, there are not many food options, but you can always opt for a fries, they also have some very delicious cauliflower wings, but it is a very small portion, so if you want them to share you will have to buy more of one Highly recommended to enjoy a beer and the view of the city.

The brewery has got a very good selection of beers. It's very spacious, so even if it's busy, you can still find seating. There are ping pong tables which are so fun.. The outdoor seatings are awesome because you get the view of the bridge. It's particularly scenic at night.

Great view, great beer, great food and great service what more can I say. A must visit when in Brisbane. šŸ˜ā€¦.. (Edit) we made a second visit for a table service meal inside. Staff super friendly and attentive, our food was perfect and again great beer. Thanks.!!

Nice view w beeršŸ˜„ if you want this, come to Felons. Service is so so.. cuz felons is too big venue to provide service so it is understandable. A lot of good beer. My favorite was lager and pale ale. Good to start w lager and pale ale goes well with pizza. Cocktail prawn wasnā€™t fresh. It was bit smelly..šŸ„² I really love prawn but I donā€™t think i am gonna order it again. Oyster was fine! FreshšŸ˜„ Staff was kind but too much staff and some of them donā€™t know what they are doing I guessšŸ˜… we were waiting more than 15mins to order foodšŸ˜…šŸ˜…

Friendly service. Lots off nice craft beers and great views. Probably should book in advance started to get quite busy over lunch time on the Friday we went there.

This place had a stunning view of Brisbane and it has delicious food and drinks. The wait wasn't even that long to get the food. There was also good customer service. I would highly recommend this place who are visiting or locals to brisbane to visit this place!

I canā€™t fault Felons. Itā€™s obviously a popular and lively spot with it being on the water. The IPA I had was nice and the pepperoni pizza and chips were excellent. The toilets were trashed but thatā€™s to be expected with the crowds of people moving through there that weekend. Will like to venture back when I have more time next time.

Can't recommend Felons enough. Went to brisbane for our 25th wedding anniversary and our driver recommended. Decided to go have a taste test and possibly do brewery tour. The vibe friendliness and service was amazing. Just take a seat order via app and give it a couple off minutes and you will have your beeršŸ» We did the brewery tour with Ben which was well worth the money. My husband has been brewing for 20 plus years didn't know if he would get much out off it but he did and asked so many questions poor Ben took it like a champ. Ben had great knowledge some fun fact. Ben did a great job explaing how Felons come about and how it has evolved over the years. Explained how everything is done in the brewery like stages off creation, cleaning, responsible disposal off products used no wastage and packaged. Towards the end you get to have a taste test while Ben explains how flavours have come about and how ingredients are sourced etc. We then went on to can our very own 1litre beer to take home (extra cost) Cheers šŸ» Ben keep up the good work, keep being you, you really deserve a cartoon or two for the service and your great communication skills we loved it so much we went back the following night . In whole amazing venue, great service, great location and amazing knowledge. We will be back

I like this place, stunning location šŸ˜, plus they have one of the best brewing is the city.. the pizza is highly recommended, but unfortunately the fried food is really oily and not at the same quality level of the other items on the menu! Good ambience, however the music could be a way better - just to nail it ;)

Enjoyed a meal and catch up with friends here during pre-Covid times. Itā€™s a casual dining venue where you order at the bar and take a table number, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, including a few spots overlooking the river. Fairly typical pub fare with burgers, grills and salads, and child-friendly options.

I have been here a few of times and it has been a terrible experience every time. I have arrived at approximately 6-7pm both times and both times they had run out of everything GF except a bowl of broccoli which will set you back around $30 and is served a mix of luke warm and cold. Honestly a miserable experience, made me feel awful to be coeliac and made me want to cry. For a place that markets itself as trendy you'd think they could at least cater to dietary requirements and have staff that weren't so rude about the whole situation, one telling me to go somewhere else if I was unhappy. I have told every person who's asked to avoid this place like the plague. There are so many great places in Brisbane DO NOT waste your time and money here. Great location but that's all I have to say that's positive
Chips Before Dips
The service left quite a lot to be desired unfortunately, but the food was good, and the venue is cool so we will likely be back. Although if you are adverse to chilli, you can confidently order the ā€˜spicy chicken burgerā€™ without any concern to the non-existent level of spice. Tasty though.

Being in a great location with beautiful views overlooking the story bridge and the Brisbane river, we had great expectations for Felons. Unfortunately, we were a tad disappointed with the quality of service from staff despite it being a quiet Tuesday afternoon. We were not approached even once and had to sit ourselves down, stand up and order from the counter. After ordering, the waitress came up and say to us "you guys did know it was table service right?" The food was decent but was a tad overpriced for "pub-style" food, I paid $38 for a burger and a frozen magarita so did not really find it of much value, we found it also rather peculiar that the fish and chips "corner" out the back didn't offer table service, and we had to collect our food (I'm already paying so much!). I would probably only come back for a few beers as overall, despite the bad service and average food, it was a pleasant atmosphere to get together with friends but I would not recommend for dining.

Great drinks spot right under the bridge. Great for large groups. Frose was delicious! Wines are a bit overpriced. Margharita pizza was delicious as are burgers and chips.
Quality! It Shouldnt Be That Hard! Love A Wonderful Mouth Full Of Wholesome FOOD!
We came here on the Monday of the public holiday. I was surprised at how quiet all of brisbane was :-(<br/><br/>I was supper excited to bring a friend to come to this bar. My first experience here was amazing it was during summer it was busy, it has amazing views and the vibe was through the roof! This time it was supper quiet and the food was just awful.<br/><br/>We had a Antipasto smorgasbord how ever it was just full of oily salty meats. There was no cheese it was just lacking a lot of things. And the presentation wasnā€™t really there either. I want to go back to try there pizza because they looked amazing. <br/><br/>I will rate this place again in the future just think we chose the wrong thing that they donā€™t specialize in.

Can to eat 3 pizzas over $25 each. Ordered at the bar because the staff were busy talking about the latest Justin Bieber single. <br/>After advising the bartender we would be eating at the tables.<br/>After sitting at the tables we were told we should have order at the table as opposed to the 70 cm further away<br/>At the bar.<br/>Pizzas over priced and lacked any flavour.

This place has become our favourite spot recently and we are trying to go every weekend. It is exactly what Brisbane needed. Gorgeous view. Nice vibe. Good music. Great beer and all food are delicious. I hope I can make it for the next weekend.
Nicole Gunn
Was great until I had 4 seperate people question me about a missing bowl of chips. We just wanted to eat. And it wasnā€™t the fact our food didnā€™t come out, it was the treatment of your staff... we ordered pizza, bread and dips & chips, I was questioned like I had asked for your first born child. Anyways we now know where not to take our clients Brisbane. Itā€™s a shame your on site manager let the whole place down
Kathryn Jones
One of my favourite venues, been here a couple of times now. A great spot for an afternoon of drinks, weekend nights it gets a little crazy and with that comes a longer wait for food and drinks. $10 frose is great, the prawns and seafood chowder are delicious, a pizza order got lost for one member of our group but was rectified and apologetic immediately, again Saturday nights are very hectic so understandable.
Renegade
Great beers and ciders, tasty wood fired pizzas and a hip vibe right on the water front. What more could you want. There is a good selection of some decent house made beers and the cider is one of the best I have tried. Not to sweet and not to dry. Definitely worth a try.
Sean M
Pizza base was nice, but was topped with heaps of cheap, thick meat slices and generic dried herbs that stick to your throat. The fish was quite nice and although crispy it was extremely oily - it would be better with a nicer batter. Chicken salt on the fish and chips too! Soft drink was from a mix tap and was watery - probably running low of concentrate. Service was good, but a pain to order two meals from two different counters.
Kim Dessaix
Fantastic venue with a seafood theme. Obviously all of Brisbane discovered Felons before I did so will make a reservation next time as its so popular. My only complaint was that Prawn dishes only came as cold. They looked large and were fresh but would love to see the addition of hot Prawn dishes such as Garlic Prawns or crumbed and fried.&nbsp; Pizzas looked great and the wafer thin garlic and mushroom pizza appetizer I shared with my companion was delicious until the last piece blew into the river in a gust of wind.
ElCraigo
The biggest thing Felons has to contend with is that it ainā€™t easy to get - seat at times, even though the place is huge. The absolute standout is the beer - I know thereā€™s so many crafty options these days, but interesting that even their close foodie competitors are now ranging them. Food wise I can only rate the fish burger and pizza, which is very nice quality. Special shout for the potato scallops which arenā€™t easy to come by at the best of times!

What an amazing venue. Brissy needed something like this and they have provided in the name of felon. This please ticks all the boxes. You could spend an entire day here. Good for families and even better to celebrate a special occasion. The staff here are amazing. They really made it really special for us. Excellent service with a smile. Management are doing something right. Their pizzas are their trump card and it being so openly displayed is amazing to watch. Great selection of beers and wines. We ordered the two kids meals. Hubby ordered the mussels and l ordered the steak. Mussels were amazing. My steak was nice but it got cold really fast. Maybe plates should be heated prior to coming to the table. Small feedback compared to the atmosphere and flavours. We also ordered their bannoffee pie. Omg. This was amazing. They had also had a surprise ice-cream for her. They really did make it special for her. Overall a wondeful experience and l can see us coming back.

Tried to get coffee here yesterday. The blonde at the counter ignored us, then ignored us, then took a look at us and ignored us again. We spoke to the supervisor. If she had been interested in her job she should have made sure we were attended to, but she stood there like a cud-chewing cow. Do these people not understand how much damage they do to their business with this kind of behavior? Would I go there again? No. Would I recommend this place? No way.

I met a lovely lady here for some drinks under the bridge at night. What a spectacular way to a reacquaint myself with Brisvegas.<br/><br/>Cino's Mum was there to greet me with the most loveliest smile and our conversation just flowed whilst we enjoyed the lights off the bridge and the water. <br/><br/>The beers at this microbrewery were pretty stunning too. We both enjoyed a couple of drinks and the atmosphere was peaceful, relaxed and calming! <br/><br/>What a night! They serve a good selection of pizzas etc but this night was just a casual catch up and an opportunity to taste the great beers on offer! <br/><br/>Iā€™ve missed Brisvegas, see you again soon.
Cino's Mum
Frequented by suited corporates, families & visitors alike, its a prime spot to enjoy the troll-like view from under the Story Bridge. The vibe is casual & thereā€™s a good balance of drinkers & diners - Iā€™ll expand my multi-tasking skills with some food next time. Signature brews are easy drinking & priced up to $14 a pint or $15 for a paddling. Happily kicked back soaking up amazing views & brews in the company of a fantastic fellow felon. Will return. <br/>With Timinmelbourne

Great locally brewed beers and pup grub including wood fired pizzas. They werenā€™t the best pizzas Iā€™ve ever had but not bad, the Nutella pizza was the stand out for me. Iā€™d also recommend the wood fired bread and dips and the seasonal blackberry wheat beer. They also had a really good live band on the Saturday afternoon I was there. Iā€™ll be returning to this place for sure

Felons is in a great spot for after work drinks. It has a fantastic view of the city and Story bridge.<br/>They had a good drinks selection provided by friendly and knowledgeable staff. We had no trouble getting a seat even though it was quite a busy evening.<br/>Would go back again and try the food the next time-the pizzas looked great.<br/>
Love Craft
Awesome place, great location. Beer and food is quite average though. Food is overpriced. Have tried all the beers and thought they were of average craft quality
Eeram Retrop
Had lunch here with a group of friends recently and was very impressed with the set up. Great views. The menu is okay. Most of us just had the pizzas which were quite tasty. The best thing about our visit here was our most amazing waitress. Angie was an absolute delight and so helpful. She made us all feel so welcome and went out of her way to make sure we enjoyed our visit. Can not say the same about the very rude young man behind the cash register. Despite him we will return but hope he has moved on by then.
JourneywithMim
Big fan of this venue. Prime location - this place is always buzzing no matter what. Can get too busy at times although that is expected with the location.Ā <br/><br/>Drinks - Decent selection of beers although i do think they need to make new beers more often. There is also a cider and bubbles to drink.<br/><br/>Food - Pizza's are delicious! and they don't take very long to make. If you are ordering other foods I was told that the wait will be between 30mins - 1hour.Ā <br/><br/>Definitely recommend this place. Good for groups of people. Felons also have some good merchandise available, I bought a hat and a shirt and was pretty happy with my purchase.

Some excellent views to be had over the Brisbane river from under the Story Bridge. No table service. Very busy venue. Cider & IPA that we tried was totally lacking in complexity - most people seemed to be drinking wine. Got no sense that this was a place with owners passionate about beer, more a trendy facade for big gastropub. Few choices in snacks. Chips arrived quickly, were okay. No choice of sauce, just ketchup.Ā  Extremely popular & busy but lacking much personality or authenticity. Noisy doof doof music. Won't be returning, shame but kinda inevitable that the places with the best views & locations are a little bit average.
Abhi Raviraj
Lovely location, nice selection on the menu, tasty meal for a brewery. Falafel salad was delicious. Service was patchy at times - venue was very busy, though!
Ana Rita Fraga
Worth coming in for a good time, have a few drinks (except when they run out of their locally brewed beers), great venue to indulge priceless views of the city river and bridge. In relation to the actual food, pretty average for the price ($$)
Manz
Great location right by the Story Bridge (a little hard to get in & out of by car). There's inside & outside seating, but it was packed for Friday afternoon post work drinks, and hard to find a seat. The service at the bar outside was bit of a miss, the Rose frappe wasn't ready, but when I tried to order just a straight Rose, the girl at the bar was very confused (it was on their menu). I also asked for a few glasses of water for my friends, but she only gave me one, and my friend had to line up to get water from another bar staff. If you don't mind putting up with average service then it's not a bad spot.
Isabella Lascelles
Great vibe, two very obvious improvements, because there are such high tables you should have hooks for handbags secondly if a table orders a mixture of items and for example the bowl is going to be an hour and half later than the pizza probably let them know. No one likes a hangry girlfriend
Jade Holloway
Amazing spot along the water side for a cheeky beer/cider and some good food! Highly recommend if you're in Brissy to check this spot out. Can get very busy so if you're not early enough, be prepared to wait for a table, its worth it!
Jourdan Parker
Food was ok and service was a bit sloppy. Main gripe was that upon presentation of the bill, I see that I was charged for a larger size beverage than I ordered. Questioned same and was told that the size ordered was just a tasting size (which is actually what I did want), and most people did not want that size, and so they took it upon themselves to upsize the drink and the bill - not impressed. Don't upsize if it is not asked for. I asked for that size for a reason. I only drank half - so the smaller size would have been perfect. Also, don't ask guests to go back to their seat to pay once they're all standing ready to go at the counter ready to pay.
