Takeout
Destination brewpub with dedicated gluten-free kitchen and standout house beers; great hospitality, lively courtyard, but pricing runs high and a few service/dietary missteps appear.
Why it gets an A- for overall quality
Southernmost Pint Brewpub delivers solid A-grade performance through strong food quality anchored by standout items like scotch eggs and chili fries, paired with exceptional beer expertise and welcoming hospitality. The hidden courtyard setting with games and projector creates genuine appeal, though occasional execution misses and premium pricing prevent grade A territory. For gluten-free diners and beer enthusiasts, this brewpub competes with the area's better neighborhood destinations.
Restaurant Summary
Tucked just off Duval, this brewpub feels like a hidden courtyard hangout where owners chat beer, retro tunes bounce, and popcorn keeps arriving. One guest said the team "made us feel like regulars from minute one," while another raved about a knockout scotch egg. Pricing is higher than average for a brewpub, but the vibe and hospitality draw people back. The cooking leans comfort-forward and gluten-free dedicated rather than cheffy theater: chili fries, croque monsieur, chips and guac, and a rotating quiche support a deep bench of in-house beers from coffee stout to jalapeno ale. Most diners find the food tasty and the beers exceptional; a few mention misses like an over-seasoned dip or a late kitchen start. If you prize celiac-safe options and enthusiastic beer guidance, this spot delivers. Families do well here: outdoor games, a projector for sports, and kid-friendly snacks like popcorn, fries, and chips make lingering easy. There is no formal kids menu noted in reviews, but simple sides and relaxed seating help. For picky eaters, stick to straightforward items; adventurous sauces and seasonings appear on some dishes.
