Updated February 2024

CELESTIAL BEERWORKS

We love a good theme, and at Celestial Beerworks, they take their space theme to a whole new level! From bar decor and murals to the names of the beers like “Electromagnetism” or “Newton’s 1st Lager,” the off-the-beaten-path brewery is a combination of the owners’ favorite things: art, science, and beer! You’ll find deals on your drinks every Monday through Wednesday, trivia every Thursday, crispy pitcherz discounted every Friday and Saturday, special events, and a wide variety of drinks to go!

DEEP ELLUM BREWING COMPANY

Another Deep Ellum gem, this iconic brewery is easily recognizable by its colorful cans and Mr. Smiley logo. With their year-round and seasonal beers, DEBC’s beers have become staples all across Texas restaurants. However, seeing where all the magic happens on St. Louis Street is an experience for the books. They also host brewery tours every Saturday at 1 pm and 3 pm where you can enjoy a few beers on the brew deck and see how DEBC has mastered the art of taking simple flavors and crafting them to perfection!

MANHATTAN PROJECT BEER CO

Whether you're looking to brunch, grab a coffee, or enjoy some live music with a beer in hand, Manhattan Project Beer has got you covered! A must-try is their fried chicken which is made with gluten-free flour and Thai spice, and then fried in beef tallow and their Arepas, a traditional South African dish, made with Necessary Evil instead of water. Enjoy live music every Sunday at 6 pm and Thursday at 7 pm, in addition to other events and specials throughout the week!

OUTFIT BREWING

Outfit Brewing opened its doors in an old industrial warehouse in August 2018. Almost hidden, this brewery is a gem in the wall and worth the hunt! The whole ambiance of the warehouse is simple, laid back, and nostalgic. With a logo as simple as their flavors, Outfit Brewing has definitely made a name for itself in the art of minimalist beer! Stop in to enjoy a unique Saison, Cream Ale, NEIPA, or any of their other crafts – we promise you’ll be glad you did!

TRINITY CIDER

Trinity Cider Co. brings delicious hard cider to the heart of Deep Ellum in its rustic-looking spot on the corner of Main Street and Pryor. Boasting exposed bricks, unique lighting, and a wall of fermentation tanks behind the bar – Trinity Cider Co. is as much for the cider enthusiast as it is for the Dallasite explorer. Unlike typical sweet ciders, Trinity brews their drinks with champagne yeast, which brings the sugar content down to virtually zero.
