“ As one of Floridas most notable brewery, it is an essential spot to be in Gainesville. Positioned not too far from Archer Road and as you can see from the pictures we had fantastic weather I would say it was one of my favourite experiences on my trip to Florida. The service could have been better as they forgot our order and gave it to someone else instead, but the beer was good. The only improvement would be to add finger snacks as we did not have many options to choose from. DishtApproved ”
“ Came here in December, while we were visiting in Gainesville. A fun place with a great craft beer selection. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and the were helpful while I sampled a few beers! There was a stage with karaoke going on inside, we sat outside on the large patio. They have a large selection of IPAs which my hubby and Uncle enjoyed! The outdoor area was decorated festive for the holidays, with a light tunnel leading to a stageplatform area. We were Happy that it was warm enough to sit outside! Great atmosphere and vibes, highly recommend coming here to relax and visit, in a safe, fun Clean environment! ”
“ Every time we come here we always have a good time. They carry a nice selection of beers. If you are undecided just tell them and they will let you try some before ordering. So far, all the beers we have tasted are excellent. Place is huge. Their outdoor area is great especially if you have kids and dogs. They dont sell food inside but they have a food truck in the front that you can order food from. The food trucks are always rotating so you dont get the same food every time you visit. ”
“ Came here in the evening after the softball game. Had plenty of seating and the set up was great. Had a big tv inside for the basketball game and good music playing. Got a flight that included the king cake, irish stout, strawberry pineapple understory and mango creamsicle. All were really good. King cake was my favourite. They also had plenty of non beer and na selection. ”
“ Thank you Nick Dunn and the welcoming staff at Swamp Head Brewery for a perfect evening for our party with about 50 guests in the pavilion recently. Nick was prompt responding to each of my inquires as well as being flexible with our plans as we added more guests and moved our reservation from the porch to the pavilion because of the increased number of guests. What a pretty setting, casual with a pond surrounded by a lawn with picnic tables...loved it! ”
“ We have a handful of good breweries in town. Swamp Head is definitely the best of them when considering the quality of the beer itself. The setting is really nice, and theyre extremely dog friendly. Id give 6 stars if I could. ”
“ I didnt initially have high hopes for this place because the area isnt that great, but I was pleasantly surprised. The facility was great, and the outdoor seating was very convenient. They had a taco stand outside, and it was really great. They dont serve food inside, but they have tons of beer of course. I personally didnt drink any, but the people in my group loved it. My dad says that this brewery is one of the few good things about Florida. Extra little tidbit, the water is selfserve in the hallway with the bathrooms, you dont order it at the bar. But yeah, you should totally check this place out if youre in the area! It was very fun. ”
“ Ive been here several times and have loved it every time! They have lots of fun events hosted throughout the year, frequent live music, football Fridays, etc. Parking right next to the brewery on a busy weekend or event can be spotty since its a bit small, but there is plenty of parking down the road. Beware of mosquitos if you plan to hang out outside there is a small pond right next to the premises that draws them closeby! ”
