Recess Brewing - Edwardsville

Couldn’t stay. Sat at the bar for 5-10 minutes. Wasn’t acknowledged by the sole bartender who was scream-singing along with the ridiculously loud country music to the seeming amusement of the two three people he was focused on at the bar. Been here a ton, usually enjoy the bar and the beers, but: a) you need to at least acknowledge the existence of the people sitting at your bar within a couple minutes, even if you’re busy (there were ten total people in the place, so I wouldn’t call it busy). A hello, glad to see ya, I’ll be with you asap, is plenty; b) turn the music down a hair, particularly if you’re going to be playing the most over the top country music imaginable that isn’t going to appeal to everyone; and c) don’t yell/sing along with the entire song while you’re pouring everyone’s drinks. This isn’t a karaoke bar. I don’t care that you know the words to this terrible song. And maybe if you spend a little less time leaning into your nightclub act, you could fill a few more glasses a bit faster and I wouldn’t be down the street giving someone else my money….

Absolutely top shelf!!!! Blazing wood burning fireplace. I wanted to stay longer.I’ll definitely go back!!

Wide selection of high quality brews for all preferences. Chill, and cozy atmosphere and the absolutely best food truck in the St. Louis area. The burger and tots are mouth watering and the pretzel out of this world. Very high quality service, and will definitely be back.

Cute brewery in Edwardsville, IL, tried a flight all were very good, great food truck out back, rental of space for special occasion, staff very accommodating.

The beer is always great and the staff is always friendly. One of our favorite spots for live music and we love that our dog is always welcome, too. The revamped patio in the back adds some additional shade and looks really great. It’s even better when a food truck is posted up in the back!
