The staff is very nice and helpful. I tried an Octoberfest that was a bit lighter than I anticipated but ok. The bbq smelled terrific but the ribs were rubbery and bland. Nice interior and seating.

Papa's brisket sandwich is an absolute masterpiece. Today I found out they changed the bread it's served on. The old bread was WAY better. The new bread made it very difficult to eat. The chips that come with the sandwiches are seasoned really nicely. I still recommend checking it out, though. I do not recommend the watermelon Margarita, it's very syrupy and too sweet to drink.

Some of the best drinks right on tap, recommend a Grape Ape. And the best BBQ I've ever had. Recommend the Papas Brisket or anything on special. The Competition BBQ sauce is my favorite.

While enjoying one of Lift Bridge's fine beer offerings on their outdoor patio last month, I took note of my wife's preference when she ordered a "Sconnie", essentially a traditional Wisconsin Old Fashioned that you'd enjoy at any supper club. She reluctantly allowed me to try this creation. OMG!!! Lift Bridge really nailed it! Sconnie is now my "Go to" when I visit Lift Bridge. They're really onto something here!!!

We had a pre-wedding/groom's reception the night before my son's wedding at the Lift Bridge. We rented out the place and brought in catered food. Michelle (the bar tender) was wonderful, super flexible and willing to help us with all of our last minute issues (e.g., no serving spoons, filling up pitchers of water for us, etc). We had about 70 people, and it was such a great setting for a relaxed, casual atmosphere that allowed mingling. The patio is a great "bonus" space, and offered a beautiful viewing spot for a gorgeous Fall sunset. Oh, and the beer was great! Many thanks to the Lift Bridge/New Richmond crew!

I arrived and asked to get 2 samples of their beer as I have done at EVERY BREWERY until I find a beer I want to order and the bar tender said “ you know we sell flights so you can try the beers”. Very unprofessional and rude! I have not had that happened at any other brewery I have been to. I travel all over the country and abroad and have never had anyone tell me that! Terrible customer service! Never again!

Beers were OK, not fabulously unique or too die for delicious, just good. Very nice shaded patio. If I lived in New Richmond, I would go there.

Fun place to hang out, drink beer, and play cribbage of you're in the area. Was super excited to try the Mini Donut beer that everyone raves about and it was definitely worth the hype!! The Key Lime Pie Beer was amazing as well. The live musician played great music!

I mean you can’t say anything bad about Lift Bridge. Always great environment, wonderful staff and delicious beer! This location has a different feel than their Stillwater location. But it’s a delight!

One of my favorite places to chill. Craft beers and seltzers? Yes, please! A perfect place for a child free date night, but equally a great place to take the minor dependent for a tap root beer or cream soda. Cheers!

I drove 20 miles to try it out and they were closed for a private party. You may want to call ahead to see if they are accepting regular customers.

Cool spot! We stopped in on a Sunday and I got a flight with Berry Blonde, Mango Blonde, Juice-Z, and Getaway Pilsner. They were all pretty good! I was a little disappointed with their merch selections, they had mostly smalls and 3XL's. I am hoping when we stop back they will have more options!

Bartender knows my beer. I don't know what that says about me.
Trivia and the atmosphere is great.

Quick service with a variety of beer options, seltzers, and non-alcoholic energy drinks and root beer for non-drinkers. The two room is pretty small and it was fairy full on a Saturday night, although there were a couple of tables open, but nothing for the size of our group (only 4-toppers inside), so we stood outside together. A fire pit would be an awesome addition out there for people to stay warm in winter. The hazy IPA was really good!

The beer is pretty good, but the main reason I'll be back, is the service. You can get good beer all over the place. It's all about service. Our bartender (Holly?), was engaging and obviously loves what she does. The brewery that was there previously struggled with that due to lack of staff. Hopefully that won't ever happen here.

I absolutely love this new spot that Lift Bridge and Big Watt have moved into with a nice size taproom and tons of space for them to brew their amazing beers! I can't wait to see what they do in this space and am happy they could expand their operations. Make sure to grab a beer or two and try to get a tour of this giant place as its super interesting and really different from their spot in Stillwater.
