Paducah Beer Werks

Good selection of beers made in house and delicious food, can get a bit noisy but still a great place to come with friends and family.

Ahh, Paducah Beer Werks. Known to the locals as PBW, this place is one of Paducah’s new/​hip/​favorite gems. I’ve been quite a bit, not sure why I’ve never logged a review… I suppose it’s time!
It is located in a renovated Greyhound Bus station and you can see that all over. The outside still has some of the original signage and the inside reflects a lot of the original fixtures. My favorite is the beautiful tile floor! I need to add some pictures of the place, don’t I?
The beer is really outstanding, there is an Irish red that gets a lot of attention, but I personally love the IPA. I don’t think they are brewed on site, if they are you don’t se any of the works. Of course, there are always guest beers. If you’re not sure what you’re after, just ask. The servers usually do great work. Which leads to my next point:
The service has been much better on my last two visits. I think I have been eight or ten times, and one of the early visits had pretty inattentive and uninterested service. The last few times, though, have been great! Professional, personal service is one thing that can make a good experience into a great one!
The menu is a bit limited, I don’t think they have a grill. Regardless the hit is the pepperoni chips, trust me. The wings are good, the paninis are fine, but lately they have had some really good bratwurst. The cajun one comes with fried onions and peppers, it’s a smart call. For the first time last night I tried a fig, ham, and goat cheese flatbread pizza. It may sound funny, but it was outstanding!
Paducah is glad PBW is here!

Great homemade pizza and decadent pepperoni chips Don’t ask just order them! We asked for the side but got the basket… no biggie as they were worth it. No way we could finish them but taking them home for croutons. (Sound stupid but made an awesome muffuletta salad)
So pizza and pepp chips a 5 but the jerk wings were a 1. Should of asked instead of assuming the jerk wings were grilled but they were deep fried. No big deal but they were scrawny, overlooked and the jerk seasoning was sprinkled on and didn’t stick at all.
According to my hubs The beer was great but they only had three options as they recently had their one year anniversary and had a much bigger than expected event so ran out of a lot. Having Tin Man on draft as a guest tap was a bonus. Thanks for having wine for us non beer drinkers !
Bonuses: Atmosphere is cool and service was great from Luke. We’ll be back!

This was probably my favorite place my wife and I visited during our weekend in Paducah.
The place was very clean and the staff were all super friendly and very open to any questions about their food or beverages.
The food came out fast. We ordered the traditional bruschetta and the margarita pizza. Both were super super amazing. The pizza was the best I have ever ate!
We tried two of their beers; the golden ale and Irish red and both had an amazing taste and went down very smooth. I also loved the aftertaste the ale left. I left there with a 64oz growler full of the Irish red.
I already miss this place and will definitely visit every time I’m in Paducah!

Started off with fried pepperoni, siracha sausage stuffed mushrooms and bruschetta. The pizza was outstanding, my husband loved the Spicy Italian panini and I had the Brew salad with pancetta, cappicola and fried goat cheese… seriously delicious. One of our group had the calzone and said it was one of the best he ‘d ever had! I am guessing they make their own dips, sauces and dressings since the descriptions have their beers incorporated in them. So glad we decided to drive a few short miles off of the highway for some lunch. Award winning craft beer, awesome food and great service. Our waiter gave us a little history and knew his menu of food and drinks very well. Wish we had a neat little place like this in our town. Bought a few 32 ounce cans of their beer to bring home.

Good beer, great food for a local bar. Clean, modern décor. Nice stage area where they regularly showcase local bands.
I appreciate good food made from scratch. Few restaurants in the area can claim their menu isn’t primarily frozen food thrown into a microwave or fryer.
I recommend this bar if youre looking for a taste of local brews and local live music.

Pure awesome in the heart of downtown Paducah. The people are great, the beer is great, the location is great, and the hours are great. Please do yourself a favor and check this place out.

The PBW pizza is so good! Sriracha sausage, pesto sauce, mushrooms, roasted red peppers, mozzarella, roasted garlic… yum! And the Irish Red beer is our favorite.

Good beer, good prices. The sample board is a great way to try several beer varieties and the pours are very generous.

Did not have food, as we had already eaten. I’m not a beer snob, but I do like good beers. I did not find them here. The place smelled off-​putting, the service was indifferent, and the décor was minimal, even for a wannabe hipster hangout. If you want food craft beer in Paducah, go to Dry Grounds.

We were driving from Carbondale to Memphis and stopped at Paducah with no expectations. I Unilocaled for a brewery/​beer pub and found this place. This is such an interesting location and really wonderful people. A converted old greyhound bus station, it is charming and has character. The service was friendly and excellent. I enjoyed the Red Irish quite a bit. My husband had the IPA and liked it as well. We have never seen or heard about the pepperoni chips which my carnivorous men thoroughly enjoyed. They also tried the mushrooms stuffed with sriracha sausage (my son is addicted to the sriracha sauce) and liked it. I ordered the onion rings as appetizer and it was not up to my expectation. I think the oil was too hot and the onion rings burned/​browned. I ate the Ultimate Veggie Pizza and it was quite good. My husband got his staple pizza — sausage, onion, and mushroom and liked it. My son got the brew salad and really enjoyed it. Overall, an unexpected delightful surprise in the middle of the country. If you are going by Paducah, do stop here. You won’t regret it.

A little disappointed, I expected a lot more from this place. We came in with a group of friends to try their brewed beers. The server told us that they do not have any drink menus so we ordered their samplers. I believe they have a lot of potential to make this place interesting, especially this being an old bus station, but it looks like a cafeteria.

Fabulous reclaimed Greyhound station turned brewpub. Loved that they maintained many of the original bus-​terminal features. Visited on a lazy Saturday after first sampling at Paducah’s other micro-​brewery. Although I enjoyed all the beers I tried at PBW, I found the beer to be a bit better done at Dry Ground. Still, extra points to PBW for their food offerings and ambience. Definitely worth a visit if passing through, or on a day trip to Paducah. A nice addition to town.

Came here when I was home visiting. I really like this place for the atmosphere and the food. Their beers are top quality but just not my style? I can’t find one that I really like. Not their fault, just not something I’m liking. The pepperoni chips were deep fried heaven and the brew salad is just a bowlful of wonderfulness.
They always have good visitors on tap as well. I like this place and it’ll be a stop when I’m home again.

The experience started out great, then after our first round… things went down hill.
We ordered and got our first round with appetizer very timely. The beer was good and the pepperoni bites. awesome.
Then the wait ensued. I could understand if the place was busy, but we are looking at ~25% capacity. Our server told us our food would be out soon, and we wanted to wait till then before putting in the next round. That wait ended up being another 15 – 20 mins… on pizzas that supposedly take 8 mins to cook (his words). We told our server to put in the next round just before our food arrived, but then after our food got there, it took another 10 minutes for the beers to come. To top it all off, we asked for extra marinara to dip our pizza crust in… and the server brought us a couple cups of condiment sized COLD marinara. Only to mention that he had to charge us an extra fee for the additional cups at the time he brought our bill. He should have been a bit forthcoming with that information… as we probably would have gone without… much less request that the marinara actually be warm.
From the time we got our first round, everthing wen tdown from here… can’t say any of us will be back.

My wife, I & my little girl arrived @ 5p on a Thursday at this brewpub. We were the only people here at this former Greyhound station turned brewery. JP, our waiter, got us off to a great start by helping us move tables to avoid some glare and proceeded to give us fantastic hospitality through the entire meal. Any questions we had were immediately answered, the food was surprisingly fresh, brisk and satisfying for what had been an unknown to us not twenty minutes before in a strange town as we were passing through to Illinois.
The beer gets it’s own highlight-​we had their wheat, their pale ale and their Irish red and loved them, especially the red which we got a Crowler of to go. Jay, one of the brewers, took the time to show me their brewhouse and chat with me about the venture. We were so pleasantly surprised at our great visit here, very highly recommended for anyone near or passing close by to check out!

We often go here on Friday. Our three year old daughter loves the pepperoni chips and our five year old son loves the pizza bread. They often request multiple times during the week to go here. I have lived in Atlanta and visited many pubs and gourmet sandwich shops. This place has some of the best pizzas, sandwiches, and salads I have eaten.

Very welcoming neighborhood brewery with good atmosphere and a killer Irish red.
Girlfriend and I stopped here to stretch our legs on a road trip and were rewarded with tasty beer and a friendly staff. Bartenders were very knowledgeable about their inventory and proudly displayed the medal that their Irish red earned in a pretty serious competition (400+ competitors!) this year. Stick with their in-​house stuff; their beer is delicious, especially considering they’ve been open only since last march. They even comped a pint glass for my ever growing collection. If passing through, make it a must see/​eat/​drink spot.

Great spot for Paducah! We had lunch. The hand tossed pizzas are amazing. Just the right amount of sauce and toppings. Plus, the toppings are ridiculously fresh. We also had the salad with goat cheese and cranberries. Skip on the balsamic and get the citrus vinaigrette. My husband had a flight. His favorite was Irish Red. Our server was super attentive and knowledgeable. This will probably be a regular stop when we’re in town!

The IPA? Excellent! Irish Red? Almost as good but I’m more of an IPA Fan. But it was Excellent. Food? Far above expectations especially for a recently opened restaurant /​beer pub. I had the pizza and it was excellent. I would recommend it to everyone and anyone that is looking for a bite to eat in Paducah. This is a must do. I love what they did to the venue/​old bus station. The outdoor seating is unique and fits well. The fans are nice on warm and humid days to make being outside more pleasing. My only regret is that I didn’t bring growlers and a cooler with me. Given I had to transport it over 6 hours. Next Time. But I understand they have growlers for sale and will fill their home brews. I found my new favorite hang out in Paducah.
