BarFly's Review of Bridgeport Brew Pub

Bridgeport's homebase is practically unrecognizable, since it morphed its pleasantly shabby old tasting room into a veritable beer clinic of cathedral-like proportions. Lifeless ambience bestowed by industrial chic decor so clean and cold, it's sterile. Devout hopheads may enjoy worship at the steel & white marble "beer altar," or a tour of the brewery, but the soulless quality of the space doesn't inspire repeat visits.

ehhhh

i wandered by one afternoon craving one of my favorite snacks, a porter and some fries. the porter was decent at best and the plate of fries was good, but way too big and 6$+ if you cant get beer and fries for less than 10$, youre getting ripped off in my book.

Bummed Out

I come out here once a year and the Former restaurant was my favorite. I am really sad (angry even) that they screwed this place up and ruined it. Man, I am bummed. I agree that they sold out

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Who thought this was a good idea?!?!?

I don't know what Bridegport was thinking when they did this crappy Pearl-izer remodel, but they RUINED IT!!!! Gone is the good pizza and cozy atmosphere. You can't even order pizza by the slice! The noise level is intolerable. Both times I've been there I've come home hoarse from yelling. I miss the old building and the beer loading dock... unfortunately it is just a memory now.

What happened to this place?

This place used to be such an inviting place to grab a beer and a slice of pizza. It used to be one of my favorite drinking spots. But those are just memories now that Bridgeport has reopened as a lame pseudo-classy bakery & brewery. For some reason the beer doesn't even taste as good. The phrase "sellout" is a perfect description of this place, and unfortunately, I will not be going there again. Other local brewpubs are much more inviting with better beer and food.

the new bridgeport

I went there last night for the first time since the remodel. I think they ruined the place. The food was OK but the ambiance is gone. I won't be going back.

Horrible food

Quite possibly the worst happy hour I have ever had. The food which was supposed to be hot literally came on a cold salad plate. Food was almost frozen. Very, very, very small portions. Don't plan on eating here - just drinking!

Sad..they ruined it

We used to LOVE Bridgeport. Now it is just a Gordon Biersch (however you spell it) type of place. they did ruin the pizza and the whole atmosphere. The beer is still of their normal quality but the wholeplace reeks of sell-out. So much for the lovely old Bridgeport RIP to our Ivy covered hangout of days past

Bridgeport Brew Pub has re-opened! Mehhhh.

After eagerly awaiting Bridgeport's re-opening, I was very let down. I could almost taste the delicious sourdough pizza that went so well with their excellent beers.

What I got was an updated Pearl Districtor's idea of a pub. They claim they are fostering relationships w/ the seating. Yes, if shouting over your dinner is a relationship.

The big old brick pizza oven and great pizza is gone in favor of a thin styrofoam pizza crust baked in a crappy electric wall oven. YAWN. Salads meh, appetizer cheese dip (a staple) was OK, much smaller than it used to be, and the bread served with it was so so, especially considering all the ballyhooing about the on premises bakery.

Go here for one reason-- beers! Lots of beers in several rooms, although the upstairs bar looks a helluva lot like the downstairs one plus some TV sets. The quiet room was booked for a banquet when we were in. Service was good, nice new girl from Vermont who listened to be kvetch about the pizza stinking with a smile. She brought me beers promptly enough, and that's not always the norm everywhere.

If you want great pizza, go to Apizza Scholls. If you want to hang out in a loud bar with no real atmosphere (new Pearl District fit in style ain't atmosphere-- the old place, that had atmosphere) then take your out of town friends here for beers.
