vibe: 4.5 | quality: 3.5 | service: 4 | selection: 2.5 | food: 4 | $$

Atmosphere: A nice restaurant/brewpub and beautiful wood work throughout the place. Great place to enjoy a good meal and beer.

Quality: Quality of the beer itself was pretty decent. I had 4 different beers and would rate the average quality as a B- or maybe a B.

Service: Service was pretty good; our waiter knew a fair bit about the beers and brewing process and was telling us some cool things about the way they brewed there beer on site there. It was also nice to just talk to a fellow BA about beer talk.

Selection: Selection was limited to 8 beers (6 regulars and 2 seasonals). Nuff said.

Food: Food was pretty good; not the best around, but definitely stands on its own.

Value: Great value if you are looking for collectible memorabilia from a brewpub--they offer a 23 oz. beer for $6.95, and you get to keep the pilsner glass. The downside is that the glass is frosted, so if you like clear glassware to look at your beer, you're out of luck. Otherwise prices were average (3.75 for a pint, 4.95 for a 23 oz.).

Went with a group of eight family members, and a reservation for 7pm and we were seated at about 730pm. Four of us ordered house beers in glasses we would get to keep, and we were all impressed with the quality of the beer. A few of us got appatizers and the large quanity matched the good quality, as we were all able to share. the breaded mushrooms were spectacular as was the calamari. When the entrees came not one of use was dissapointed by the quality or, once again, the quanity; as we all had a take home box. The server was nice and funny. I finished of the evening with a Maibock; I didnt reveiw because of not having the specifics to enter it into the system. I do have the notes however so when it is entered I will be doing that. I would love to visit this place again next year and following years when the family visits Myrtle Beach.

Liberty is a good sized Steakhouse located in Broadway at the Beach. The front has a small gift shop area to the right when you walk in. Here you can buy shirts, glasses, etc. Atmosphere was fairly laid back and seemed somewhat family friendly. Service was prompt so no compaints there. Selection could be much better. They were out of a couple brews that were on the menu which left only about 5 or so to choose from. The ones that I tried were pretty mediocre. This included the Raspberry Wheat, White Ale, Rockets Red Ale and the IPA. The one beer that stood out was the Maibock. Easily the best of the bunch. Typical steakhouse fare at Liberty. Steaks, seafood, burgers, and a few appetizers. It's better than expected. Overall it's a pretty decent place but nothing I'd seek out again.

Liberty Steakhouse Brewery is located at Broadway at the Beach. I have made several visits over the years. Liberty offers a variety of styles, and they have had a few new selections in recent months. I have learned there is a new brewer, and I think the quality of the beers I have had recently has improved. I look forward to trying the recently tapped Maibock.

The restaurant is spacious. There is a reasonable bar area and an outdoor biergarten. The food here is good, and the happy hour features discounted beers and appetizers.

Sat at the bat and drank and had some appetizers. The atomshpere was nice some tvs around the bar the typical stuff you would expect from this type of place. There were 7 different beers on tap. The white ale and raspberry wheat which were listed as retired were on the tap list there. The bartenders are fast and decently knowledgeable. The food we had was very good, the bar menu was typical of what I was expecting pretzels, wings, chicken fingers and the like. The beer overall was what I was expecting. Nothing spectacular everything in that b to c range. Overall a nice place with okay beer.

Main seating area is cavernous. Reminds me of a big southern fish camp. Some water overlook seating around the edges. Bar area is very nice, though. Outdoor seating in front of the restaurant.

Menu has been better in the past and is somewhat limited now. There is decent variety in steaks, pizzas, bar apps. Does have kids menu.

8 taps going and lots of signage around to let you know what is pouring. Most of their beers are lighter in body and flavor, with the porter and ipa the only exceptions. Lots of wheats and lagers.

Had great service the night and they were pretty busy.

Good place to stop in for a pint while the family explores the Broadway at the Beach area.

For a brewpub in a tourist location, this is about as good as can be expected. The beers have a good taste without being overly exceptional. The waitstaff can vary from very good to just okay - it all depends on the person. We went there twice while on vacation and so-so service the first time and really good service the second. Go there between 4 and 7pm for their happy hour specials - half off all drinks (beer and mixed) and their bar food. We had appetizers and they were quite good. It gets busy during happy hour because it is a great deal. Been to this place several times each time we go back to MB and it's still going strong!

Tucked away in a corner of the Broadway at the Beach complex, it was behind a Starbucks, barely visible from the road. There was a covered biergarten to the left at the entryway with picnic tables and garden furniture. A set of FVs was visible in a second floor window and a replica of the Statute of Liberty sat to the right of the doorway. Inside and to the right was a huge m.d.s. with a counter of logo items to the extreme right. A large picture window on the left overlooked the copper-clad brewhouse and a few FVs on the first floor. A long row of SVs were visible on the second floor above the bar area. Continuing straight in from the m.d.s. were the Grain Storage room on the left, lavs on the right and then the extensive restaurant area with booths in front to right and a sea of wooden tables and chairs beyond. By taking a left at the m.d.s. and transiting down a short ramp with the brewhouse on the right behind glass, the "U" shaped, copper-topped bar was on the right, surrounded by a combination of high tables and chairs and benches and chairs.

Beers: Miss Liberty Lager; C. W. Porter; Unfiltered Wheat; Raspberry Wheat; Not Brown Ale; Clyde's Pale Ale (CPA); White Ale; Amber Waves.

The CPA had a biscuity taste. Needed more hops.

Broadway at the Beach is a very cool place. We got a table at the window overlooking the lake. Great view! Our server was very friendly and was there when we needed her. We were there around lunchtime and there wasn't much of a crowd. Food came quickly and was quite good. I only had a cup of chili and split a plate of the pretzels with my wife. Very good! The beer, (which is why I went there), did not fair so well. I had the Nut Brown Ale and the Porter. Both were weak and unmemorable. So go for the food and skip the beer.

I must say first of all that I am rating the quality and selection on beer alone. I am thoroughly unimpressed with the beer at liberty. I have tried about 8 of their beers and have yet to be even moderately impressed. The beer just tastes watered down. It is almost like they are aiming to make everything as close to an adjunct lager as possible while still using all malt. When I stumbled upon this place I was so excited, fresh beer, steaks, what else could a man want? When I must go here, I order an unsweet tea, and a bleu cheese filet. The food is excellent, the cuts of meat are top notch. The beer is horrible, I hate to be so critical, and if you look at the rest of my reviews, I tend not to be, but I have not been impressed yet. The service has been good when I have went there, the atmosphere is nice, bags of grain stacked about here and there. Nice shiny fermenters on prominent display. I almost wanted to help them out and dump 20 more bags of grain into the mash tun for them along with a couple pounds of hops to give their beer some flavor. Liberty, give me real beer...or give me another restaurant.
