3 Bridges Brewing - Venice, Florida

I had a couple hazy beers here. They were alright. The burger was mid, not smashed enough to be crisp on the edges, and kind of bland overall. The food on a Sunday afternoon took a really long time, despite the restaurant not being super busy. The patio area is nice, it'd be better if they actually put the bags/cornhole out. Anyway, overall, I wouldn't rush to come back, but this place has potential. They need to work on the kitchen and other basic creature comforts (a self service water cooler outside would be helpful, for instance - since they seem to be short staffed and slow-service, at least let people hydrate themselves).

Stopped here on a ride down the Legacy Trail. A little off the path but worth it if you need a cold one after a long ride. Solid beer choices from IPAs to Lagers. Good was good with plenty of snacks to refill your energy. Service was excellent and quick!

We had such high hopes for this places. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. It has 3 things going for it: the music-old hard rock, they allow dogs on the patio and the fries. My husband had a bacon burger. The burger was overcooked, I had the grilled cheese which I ordered with Gouda cheese only. The sandwich had absolutely no character and the cheese stuck to the roof of my mouth The hefeweizen tasted like half lemon, half mild lager. I feel like we wasted $40+.

I ordered two bridge burgers to go, both with fries. One was for my mom who is vegetarian, so I ordered the patty on the side and extra cheese to compensate. There was no sauce on either burger, all the patties (on my burger and the one on the side) were overcooked to a crisp with no flavor, my mom’s order was missing all of her fries, and they just gave her dry bread with a limp tomato, limp lettuce, and some pickles.

I called to speak with someone on Saturday before leaving this review. I got sent straight to voicemail, and I left a message saying I was unhappy with my order and would appreciate a call back. No answer.

I used to love the food at this place but clearly they don’t care about the quality of what they’re serving to people.

Loved this brewery for the entertainment on weekends and most importantly, its beer. As I walked in, the outdoor patio was very lively, because that's where the entertainment was. A duo was performing favorites for the crowd. Inside, the vibe was chill and relaxed. Bright lights and a clean and inviting barroom was found there. Beers are ordered at the walk-up bar, at a point clearly marked with a sign, but I did notice some servers in the patio area outside too. The beers were good, for the most part. Service inside the taproom was fast and efficient. The bartender was informative and assisted by answering the questions I posed. The menu was impressive with many styles to select from and please everyone's taste. My favorite was the Festbier, I'd like to come back and try more of what 3 Bridges has to offer.

We had a great experience at 3 Bridges. The kids were able to run around a little. The food was great. My husband and son had the Mac and cheese small plate, which is anything but small. They could have split it. My daughter had the kids burger and I had the bridge burger. Both were really full of flavor. All the beer is made by them except one, the elderberry cider which was great.
I had a flight off beer so I could try a few different ones, the porter, tangy trip( my husband's favorite) the peanut butter and jelly and the cider. I really enjoy a full flavored beer and none of them disappointed. I think I enjoyed the cider and the pbandj the most!!
We will be heading back again soon.

NOT KID FRIENDLY

I have been to this place more times than I can count since they have opened. They have children’s toys in the yard and they used to be very kid friendly. The yard used to be completely open to kids and there were no issues. Now, they have halved the space to segregate the kids’ section. Something changed (likely civil liability issues) and they no longer are kid friendly. In fact, the last 3-4 times we have been there, the staff has yelled at the children multiple times for playing in the yard.

Their beer is hit or miss. Sometimes I have had a fantastic beer there. In the last 2 or so years, I haven’t.

Do not get me wrong, I am all for breweries/bars being for adults only. With that said, don’t hold yourself out to be kid friendly if you are not.
