Motorworks Brewing

Excellent service!! We lovef Tracy. Ver attentive and so friendly! This is the 2nd time we had Tracy for a server, we will always ask for her from now on

Great food. Large drink selection
Waitstaff is awesome. John, Jamal and Karina go above and beyond on taking care of our every need.

My only request would be for more vegetarian options. Then it would be perfect. That is the only reason I gave them 4 stars instead of 5.

Went to watch the Michigan game. We spent about $300 trying different beer food and spirits. Tipped about $60.
We were finishing off our drinks and a guy at the bar yelled out, " Get up and get the F#&k out".
I know it was after close but we were just sitting there quietly finishing drinks.
There was a better way to do this without alienating your clientele.

It didn't need to go down like that.

With so many options in the greater Tampa area, why would you act like this to paying repeat customers?

Apparently this guy was the manager.

Everything is served in to go containers. We sat at the bar and our server was great. Not sure why they served me a burnt bun with my sandwich. It was burnt on both sides. They should have mad another one.

Such a cool place especially the beer garden. The bartender working during our visit was one of the nicest guys and was happy to talk all about their beer with a beer geek like me. We also grabbed some lunch from the food truck which was pretty good. They have a wide variety of creative beer flavors and cocktails too so everyone will find something they like!

We had tried Motor Works brewing in Orlando and because we are going to be in Bradenton the next day. Decided that we needed to stop by the original. Located just a few blocks down from Lecom Park. This location is almost double the size of the Orlando location. They have a huge outside seating area that has lights amongst other things and it's just a really cool place to hang out. They do offer food, but it is all done through a food truck. My husband ordered the chicken quesadilla and found that it was more cheese than it was chicken. I opted for the California turkey wrap. I appreciated how thick cut the turkey was, but overall found that it lacked seasoning and flavor. I opted for french fries as my side and they were cooked perfectly. As far as the beers, you have very much the same selection that you'll find at the Orlando location, but this location does have beers that are specific to them. I opted for the Datil which is a chocolate and pepper Porter. If you like spice in your drinks, this is definitely the beer for you. my husband opted for the adoptable, which is their lager that is mild and crisp in flavor. Overall, we enjoyed the experience and definitely plan to return when we are back in town for a spring training game. They do have a parking lot that is connected to the building, but it tends to be valet only for game days. What we did notice was that many people who went to the game came down and parked in their lot and then walked down to the game and came in afterwards. Not a bad deal for five dollars for valet parking.

Be prepared for a long wait for food and drinks. Food is served in styrofoam containers with one plastic spoon. We waited 30 minutes on a slow night and what was delivered to the table was not what we ordered. Server apologized and said he made an error on the order entry system. Rather than waiting another 30 minutes for a sandwich we kept the wrong food.

The live music was possibly the worst I've seen. The "Divas of Soul" should pack it in. It actually hurt to listen to the first act destroy some classic Whitney Houston songs. At $20/ticket, we should've known it would be well below average.

There is no way to contact this establishment short of driving up and walking in to ask a question. Nobody answers a phone, all options lead to hang ups, etc. Poor customer experience overall.

Food was great. Tried the brisket grilled cheese with the fries. The fries had a nice crunchy coating on them and the brisket was tender slow cooked. The back area was very nicely shaded and relaxing. Only need some renovation on the interior but overall nice.

Good beers. The dinner menu has very little vegetarian food. The amenities list "many vegetarian options" which os not true

Motorworks is fine. We came to see the band. Supposed to start at 6:00. 6:25 haven't started yet!!!! We love 22N but come on! If I was the bar owner I'd be very mad. Charged 10.00 bucks a head for a band that is scheduled to play at 6:00. Sad.
