After five years I re-visited and it was magical with decent food and atmosphere also the greatest ale, great bar people and nice music some nights. They have definitely stepped it up.

Me, My husband & our 17 month old went to Switchback for the first Time this past Saturday and it was wonderful.
You get to seat yourself, so being able to choose the table that works best for our little family and our stroller was ideal. They had a convenient and well stocked area with utensils, wet naps, to go boxes, a water cooler and basically anything else you might need but don’t want to wait for a waiter to ask for. You order at the bar and the food was brought out promptly, it was correct and it was all delicious! The staff all seemed nice and in good moods. The atmosphere Was fun and had some sorts on but wasn’t loud like a sports bar.
I very much appreciated that they had a family bathroom that was clearly marked and equipped with a koala changing station AND had a hook right next to it for my purse and diaper bag.
Truly had a great time and recommend.

Decent experience here. Parking’s a little wonky, so it makes sense there’s extra sandwich signs outside directing you to the entrance. They have a fresh, clean brand-new bierhall and patio, too. The Wednesday special with the burger and beer is worth it, but expect an upcharge if you get any other beer than their Switchback Ale. The beers, burger, and fries are all tasty. Their tiny two-inch-tall beer can stickers were overpriced at $3.00 *each*. By the end, it felt like this place was more interested in nickel-and-diming their margins rather than making the best customer experience ever. And, is this review kind of petty and nickel-and-diming them back over something so insignificant as stickers? Yes.

Context: It’s a wintery day, visiting from NY.
The bartender was very nice, she offered suggestions and samples for my (limited) beer palate, and she hit a home run with the Switchback EZ (pictured).
I ordered the Caesar Salad with chicken, and my dining companion ordered the Brisket Sandwich. Both had great taste and did not disappoint. The lettuce was very fresh (not wilty in the least), and had a light Caesar dressing (it wasn’t sopping wet, which I like), and fresh grated parmesan cheese.
The brisket was very tender and came in 2 large slices on a bun. A side salad was substituted in place of french fries.
The space could have been a couple of degrees warmer, but I didn’t *have to put my jacket on inside.

We held our wedding welcome drinks at Switchback Event Space and could not have had a better experience from start to finish. From planning and coordinating to the guest experience & service, everything was incredible and seamless. Beyond incredible beers (Switchback Ale always hits), Switchback makes you feel like your are part of the family. Our guests had the best time and it was the perfect space to kick off our wedding weekend. Special shoutout to Abby, Georgie, and Nick for being the absolute best to work with!!

Couldn’t write a better review if I tried. Staff were so friendly, welcoming, and amazing. If you are ever in Burlington, this is absolutely a must. Beer was delicious. And trust me, we tried a lot. The food was just as delicious. Josh was so kind to us and the one bartender (wish I remembered her name) was more than helpful and amazing.

So I am not a fan of beer at all but I really enjoyed this place. Wonderful atmosphere, live music, a bunch of games to play, and best of all a very sweet dog who greets you when you walk in! I didn’t touch the beer but I did enjoy the cider. As a bonus this place is walking distance to the Burlington Earth clock and the world’s tallest filing cabinet

Great spot to hang out, drink diff beer styles you won’t get elsewhere and taste all diff types of stuff. Beertenders are super chill, friendly and knowledgeable, and really enjoyed hanging out there. The smoked beers have a BBQ-type nose, and that’s super crazy/mind blowing/so true to the style. They do it well!

First off, we are not drinkers, but we love a good meal. When we arrived to Switchback Brewing Co, we located the door and entered a dining space with good music and good vibes. When you walk to the hostess stand, there is a sign that tells you to seat yourself and order at the bar. Some people would be put off by this, but not us. We found our table, and went to the bar to order. We ordered a BBQ chicken sandwich with fries, brisket sandwhich with Mac and cheese, and a BBQ pulled pork sandwhich with a dressed green salad. We play store order and waited about ten minutes for our food to come. The drinks we ordered were two maple, lemonades and a water. The maple lemonades were described as very interesting but loveable. The sourness of a lemonade really brought out the sweetness of the maple and was just a very interesting but really nice drink.
When our food arrived, there was no more talking at our table just eating. The barbecued chicken sandwich was described as tres tres bien and the fries were just right amount of salty and cooked just right. The brisket sandwich was a different style of BBQ that he had ever had before but was amazing! The cucumber horseradish sauce just really brought it all together, and the Mac and cheese was a little drier than he liked but still good. The BBQ pulled pork sandwich was breathtaking. The pork was moist and flavorful with the BBQ sauce being sweet and vinegary, along with that buttery bun, seriously, one of the best barbecue pulled pork sandwiches.I have ever had the pleasure of eating. The salad was so good. The dressing was
Very spice filled but not overpowering.
The three of us agreed.This is definitely added to our return eatery list.
Even if you are not a drinker, the food and the maple lemonade are definitely reasons to come check out this brewery. We will be eating here again.

First visit here, wonderful waitstaff, food and beer very good, but the otherwise clean and comfortable atmosphere inside was ruined by loud techno disco music that was the least conducive imaginable for relaxing and enjoying a meal. We will visit again, but will sit onside where volume not as loud, and at least can be tuned out.
