Everytime we go to Bastrop, we try a local restaurant that we haven’t before, but man o man, we were surprised we hadn’t tried 602. First of all, all the food we ordered was full of flavor and hot. Their beers are great too. I couldn’t stop drinking their peach Hefeweizen. They really do care and try to bring the community together. Even met the owner and his daughter, which were both lovely. Shout out Heather Blue (the bartender), whom was nice, attentive and a rockstar. Will definitely visit again to try more of their menu.

602 Brewing has a friendly staff, good food, interesting beer options and live music (at least at the time I visited). Definitely seems like a fun local spot to hang out. I enjoyed my time here. I definitely recommend.

This was a planned stop on a road trip where we were hoping for a taproom environment. What it seems like this is is a restaurant with a small beer focus, but nothing to write home about. We had a soft pretzel, which had a tasty mustard with it and beer cheese dip, but the pretzel was really just a baked bread. No true pretzel crust. Then had some Reuben rolls, which were a take on mixing a reuben sandwich with egg rolls. Neat idea and tasty. I’d definitely recommend those for a small snack. The beer was average, but honestly would’ve been above average with a little bit of actual service and conversation. The bar tender did her best to ignore us, service was extremely slow with 30+ minutes between her checking on us. She would disappear for long periods of time and barely said two words to us and showed no interest in getting us to order more. When we sit at a bar at a craft beer brewery, what we’re looking for is good beers and good conversion. We got okay beer and zero conversion and they weren’t busy. Just disinterested. If you’re driving through the hill country looking for a craft beer experience, save your time and money and find a true taproom where the beer is front and center and the bar tenders are anxious to talk to you about it. There were a couple of others working behind the bar who equally ignored us, as if we hadn’t been there for an hour and a half and no only even asked if we wanted another round.

We’ve lived in the Bastrop area over 5 years and only visited here once before for the live music. We decided to stop in for dinner this time. The vibe and location of this place automatically sets it up for success. At least, you would think. It began with men carrying large equipment through the dining room out to the patio for the live music. The equipment was carried over the head of more than one patron, which could have been catastrophic if even one part had fallen or slipped. It was also just unprofessional.
We tried several mixed drinks, several appetizers, and several entrees. The Ribeye was cooked to perfection, and the sausage platter was delicious. That’s about all that was good. The fried pickles were way more fry than pickle, the asparagus was way over cooked, the mashed potatoes looked and tasted like they were from a box, and one of the mixed drinks was so bad, we sent it back and asked for bottled beer. Our waitress was supporting both inside and outside, and even though the dining room was less than half full, we waited extended periods of time each time we needed something; culminating in about a 15 min wait for our check before we finally got up and asked if someone could find our server so we could leave. I was really hoping to like this place; we’re always looking for a place to get a good drink and steak, but I guess we’ll have to keep looking.

My grandson and I stopped at the 602 brewing company. Just expected to get a burger and fries once we’re in that we’ve seen they had a chicken fried chicken I have the mashed potatoes with mine and my grandson had fries with his it also included a bowl of soup. Lentil soup which was totally delicious. The staff for totally caring and courteous seated us immediately brought us our menus after we ordered our food the chicken fried chicken came back to the table bigger than my hand almost twice the size of my hand and one of the best I’ve ever had the ground submitted, they must have Gordon Ramsay cooking in the back cuz this is delicious i recommend 602 brewing company 10 out of 10 10 out of 10 for the food and 10 out of 10 for the atmosphere don’t miss out go check it out

Very disappointed in the past couple of visits, the food was so good a couple years ago! Came for valentines with some friends and were unimpressed with the valentines menu. Very limited and either had to like seafood or weird stuff. There was a lady singing but we could barely hear since we were in the back room. The food was dry and unseasoned. Drinks were okay but didnt taste like there was alcohol. I will not be coming back, do not waste youre time.

Let me start by saying the habanero margarita was great! Kuddos to the bartender. The food, however, was not as good, I had the chicken fried steak which was chewy but okay. The cheddar mashed potatoes were cold, I even ordered additional gravy to warm up the potatoes.The gravy was hot but tasteless. Great place to get a drink though.

First time here. Excellent place to grab a beer on tap and enjoy some good food and company. The menu is heavy on green chili’s, which I enjoyed thoroughly. Highly recommend the chili artichoke dip. So good. Good beer selection too. In addition to the 602 brand, they also carry several others on tap and bottle. Will definitely be back next time I’m rolling through Bastrop!
