A modern-industrial brewpub offering craft beer, pizza & salads in a chill, spacious setting.
For years I've driven past Brewport and wondered what it was like, and today, we finally made it in! Cool industrial vibe with a simple menu of pizzas, salad, and drinks. Our server was super friendly and attentive, and we appreciated that she informed us the individual sized antipasto would be plenty for the four of us to share. Our pizzas arrived, and we were impressed at the thin, crispy crust with just the right amount of char. However, we all agreed that the sauce was pretty lacking in flavor, and we just really wanted more from it. They weren't bad pizzas by any means, but they could've been excellent had they just been more flavorful. The toppings definitely helped, but if I were to come back, I probably wouldn't order a standard cheese, or maybe I would add garlic on. Glad we finally checked it out and definitely a cool spot to hang out while in Bridgeport.
We decided to go here before seeing a show at the Bijou theater downtown. It’s been a very long time since my last visit. We ordered a large pizza with sausage and mushroom. It had very good flavor, but it was also very strange looking. I’ve never seen this anywhere else and I would’ve remembered this from the last time I was there. The cheese was placed on the crust before the sauce and when the pizza came out it almost looked like there was no cheese on it. It had good flavor but there was no caramelization on the cheese.
I never write reviews - usually my friends handle that for us — but this experience at Brewport in Bridgeport, CT was so frustrating that I felt I had to share. Three of us stopped by around 7:30 p.m. after work to relax with a beer and some pizza. We ordered a white mozzarella pizza with buffalo chicken, but were brought a tomato pie with buffalo chicken instead. We politely told the server and asked for the right pizza. A few minutes later, another server brought back the same wrong pizza. Hungry and assuming they were offering it, we started eating. When the check came, we were shocked to see we were charged for two pizzas — plus extra garlic we never ordered. When we asked why, the server said, “because you ate it,” completely ignoring that it was their mistake. No accountability, just an offer to “bring the manager” to explain. We’ve been regulars here after Total Mortgage Arena events, but after this pushy, disappointing experience, we’re done. We’ll gladly drive a little farther to Two Roads instead. I’m also attaching the receipt so others can see exactly what happened.
My friends food was good, although they complained to the hot peppers were not very spicy. I wish there was an option for someone who does not want meat and cannot have dairy. It leads to a bland pizza or a salad with no protein. Hopefully they'll add something at some point!
Pizza and beer selection is excellent. The space is huge and comfortable. (Although no stools at the bar because there was a concert at the amphitheater is weird) The 90 minute table rule is understandable, but what is quite annoying about it is they beat you over the head with it. There is a notice on the door, the hostess tells you about it as soon as you walk in, it’s on stickers on the tables at every single seating position, the waiter says it as soon as he/she greets you, then again when the food arrives. Two seconds after I paid the bill I again got reminded our time was up even though it was clear we were leaving. (Overall our server and the service was excellent, top notch really. Super quick with drink and beer refills. The kid was a pleasure. We joked about the 90 minute reminders and it’s clear they are instructed to say it over and over) We get it guys. 90 minutes.
