Master Critic Review

Open Outcry Brewing Company 8.3
Morgan Park
A bigger, more polished Beverly brewpub experience—beer-forward with a food menu built for groups, linger-time, and second rounds. The best use case is a long catch-up: start with shareables, lock into a main, and let the pace stretch without feeling rushed.
Must-Try Dishes: Beer flight, Burger, Wings

What makes it special: A modern brewpub hang where you can turn one round into a night.
Who should go: Groups who want beer, food, and time to linger
When to visit: Weekend late afternoon into dinner
What to order: Beer flight, wings, burger
Insider tip: Start with shareables first—then order mains once you’ve picked your favorite beer.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Mostly easy neighborhood parking. Expect free street parking nearby, but it can tighten up during peak weekend dinner hours—plan a small buffer and be ready to walk 1–3 blocks if you arrive after the rush.
Dress code: Smart casual brewery style. Jeans and sneakers are completely fine, but you’ll also see people in casual date-night fits—think elevated comfort over dressy.
Noise level: Moderate-to-lively. You can hold a conversation, but it gets louder once the room fills—especially with groups and weekend energy.
Weekend wait: 30–60 min without a reservation, with longer waits if you arrive right at peak time
Weekday lunch: Usually minimal wait or quick seating, with a small bump during the lunch rush
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — workable options via salads, sides, and at least a couple main choices depending on the menu. Best strategy: build a meal from shareables + a salad and confirm any meat-based broths/sauces.
Vegan options: Limited — possible with modifications (removing dairy/aioli/cheese) and choosing lighter items, but not a dedicated vegan destination.
Gluten-free options: Moderate — you can usually find a few naturally gluten-free-leaning choices, but cross-contact is a realistic risk in a brewery kitchen. If you’re highly sensitive, ask what can be done safely and keep the order simple.
Best For
Better for: A polished, linger-friendly brewpub night where beer is the centerpiece and the food is built for sharing. It’s strongest for groups, celebrations, and long catch-ups where you want multiple rounds without feeling rushed.
Consider Alternatives If: Choose somewhere else if you want a quiet, romantic dinner, a highly curated cocktail program, or strict vegan/gluten-free reliability. This is a ‘hang and graze’ spot more than a precision fine-dining experience.
