Metal Works Brewing Company

"Loved the tater tot nachos and the flatbreads! it’s under new ownership and the new menu is fantastic!!! the service was great and we will definitely be going back to try out some more of the food and beers."

"This place should be busier than it is. A nice brewery right off the square. When it’s busy all over, this place is not. They could use some more employees though. More food options would be nice. Try the pretzels!"

"I adore this place and it will be my husband's and my new go-to local spot! Every beer we tried in our flights was delicious and unique. They do the classic styles of beer really well, from stouts to IPAs to lagers, but they also really nail the fun, flavored beers. The flavors are not too heavy-handed and blend nicely with the style of beer without tasting at all fake/artificial. The food was perfect. I got a chicken sandwich with a tangy coleslaw and fries. Y'all, these fries tasted like little salty potato donuts in the BEST WAY. I don't even remember what my husband got because everything was so good it doesn't matter. The bartender was so kind and informative, answering all our beer questions and recommending his favorites. He was accommodating and attentive. Highly recommend this quiet downtown spot! Go support them :)"

"Could this be the PERFECT microbrewery?!? Relaxed atmosphere welcoming to people of all ages and interests, and to families as well. Staff was very attentive and extremely helpful, possibly the best restaurant service we've ever had! Our server provided a personalized guide to food and beer selections based on our own tastes. He suggested off-menu food items and offered beer samples. Their beer selection is more than adequate, only limited by their in-house brewing capabilities. But with quality brews like these in house, you don't need to ship in 50 worldwide selections to choose from! When in Bloomington, DON'T MISS THIS STOP!!"

"So Function always has some solid brews some of the usual suspects and then rotates some more limited stuff. Never had a bad beer yet. On a scale of 1-5* their beer usually seings between 3.5-4.25 on my Untapped ratings. So consistently well above average. Where this Brewery really stands out from others is the food. The Menu is much more to the taste buds of a "foodie" rather than someone looking for bar food fare like burgers and wings. Their sandwhiches and soups are rooted in traditional fare like a club sandwich, but takes a hard right to meet a food network cooking competition kind of cuisine. For example pictured above is the Feathered Farmer - "Sundried Tomato Whipped Feta, Butter Lettuce, Zucchini Ribbons, Sprouts, Pickled Peppers, Lemon Vinaigrette, Havarti, Multigrain Bread, with Turkey" With a side of their house made Cole Slaw which has a generous helping of blue cheese. Or one my favorites - El Jefe Roast Turkey, Pineapple, Pickled Jalapeños, Pepper Jack Cheese, Chipotle Aioli, Telera Roll. They also offer vegetarian fare (Vegetarian is an old Indian word meaning Bad Hunter). Consistently solid beer, and consistently unique food options and well worth a take out or dine in order."
