I had a decent time here. It is much like any other gastropub you have been to. So if you like that, it's here! I got a blue cheese burger and a milk stout. The food was good, but things seemed a bit pricey relative to what I got. I sat at the bar and they seemed overwhelmed, so it was hard to get service when I wanted it, but also I was in a rush, so I wasn't being the most gracious guest. That said, the servers were very nice when I was able to talk to them! And the manager came by to make sure everyone was doing well!

Small 4 location chain brewery and grill specializing in pizzas but offers good selection of other bar n grill type food. We had large 7 person group and had quick seating and great service.

I was pleasantly surprised when I asked the server to bring me something that is popular and tasty. He brought me a Great Basin Brewery Burger and it was killer good! It’s something would never order but gosh it was great! The fries that came with it were also amazing and I’m not a fry guy. As you can see in the picture it was definitely representing well. The beers were also good but that doesn’t need to be said. We usually go for the beers but now we’ll also be going for the food!

Great little brewery in Carson City. Very busy on a Friday night, but we were able to go right in and sit at the bar. Great bartender, just got us in under the happy hour wire. The squeeze only had a soda, but I had the Truckee River Red, nice sweet caramel and roasted malt flavors. We both had two fish tacos, one would have been good. The hunk of fish was huge, well battered and fried to a golden brown.cole slaw and guac finishes it off. We were expecting street taco size. I can see why it gets busy. As a plus, they have free brewery stickers, unlike othe places, so 5 stars.

Cute brewery and dining in Carson City. Nice outdoor seating area that allows dogs. Best french fries I have had in a while. BLAT was delicious with lots of bacon and the bread was great. Fresh burgers. Good beer selection. Service was fast and friendly.

They really care about high quality food here. Love the attention to detail, hot crispy fries, crisp lettuce. Over the top delicious ingredients make outstanding food. The servers are awesome, very attentive and offer recommendations when you ask. The menu is huge!!

Great Basin Brewery was amazing with my online order today! I was having trouble with DoorDash and couldn’t order sweet potato fries. I called to ask if I could order regular fries and swap them for sweet potato, and they were happy to make it happen. Such a simple gesture, but it made my day—overall, a really kind and helpful interaction.
