Gorilla Brewery Tap in Doncaster

The Gorilla Brewing Company produces a good range of craft beers from IPAs to porters. The beers are available at the imperial music venue just around the corner and the Gorilla Beer Hall next door to the Brewery, a great bar with live music and food available. There is a large car park at the brewery.

Fantastic venue for live music and lots going on such as the Wednesday Night Quiz. Great selection of own brewed beers and drinks. Also has a fantastic food menu. I would definitely recommend a day on the Meccie Rivera at Gorilla Beer Hall

Love this place!! Good Beer, Good Food & a great vibe.

What a fantastic place , Ales and food on a different level 🍺🍔

I have visited this bar on several occasions with 2 great pals, it always hits the spot! Several real ales available, particularly like their own brews, Kong, ApeX, and Silverback Blonde to name a few. Get yourself down to the Meccie Riviera!

Decent venue, good beer, good food. Could have eaten a larger portion though. Knocked a couple of stars off. Check on Google/website/social media, to see if it's open on a Tuesday. Said it was, travelled nearly an hour in my kid free day (don't get many of those) to meet up with friends and, it's closed. They don't open Tuesdays in the winter. I get it might not be worth opening but, they could at least publish the current opening times.

I've just been here for the the very first time, I do actually live in Mexborough aswell, this place is vile, they serve food and there's clearly rats, I saw atleast one whilst I was there standing in the queue, being near a river that it is to be expected but just don't serve food... the toilets are disgusting and far away from the pub as possible but no hot water or paper towels, theres two sets of toilets and the lights are out in one of them Inside the hall is very dingy and very small, they serve gluten free beer but can't even sell proper cola, some nails hanging out the wall aswell

A fabulous bar with a great selection of beers. Lovely food, snacks and a great atmosphere. Well worth a visit if you are in the area you will not be disappointed. Wednesday quiz night really good fun!

Always a warm welcome. Good beer. Good people nothing more.

nice place for a drink by the canal but their own beers or rubbish. Their food is over priced trash, swimming in sauce obviously trying to hide the low quality ingredients. Very disappointing!!

Best place in mexbrough! Fab food service and live music ! Definitely recommend a visit!!

Decided to check this place out as I'm going to see Ultimate Leppard there in October. It's in a lovely setting by the canal and as the sun was shining it was nice to sit outside and watch the barges go past. The drink was nice and they have a menu of burgers, chicken, etc. Inside the place looks good for a venue. Fashionable industrial look I'd say. Looking forward to the gig when unfortunately it will be a bit cooler!

Just found this brewery by chance on way from day out but what a find on side of canal, my husband enjoyed the beers and I enjoyed the wine will be back when in the area

Hidden gem of a venue. Had a great selection of ales and ciders including rattler on tap which I've not seen on draught north of Cornwall. Had a great night watching a band and drinking the home brewed ales.

Our first time visiting here But hope its not long till we return Injoyed the drinks we had and the lovely view

Canal side boozing. Real ale, and good real ale at that. Acceptable prices. Loved every minute here What's not to like ?

Great place to see bands. The food looked good but I didn’t have any at the time. Space saving toilets a great idea. Lovely space outside but let down by coverage from the elements.

Great pub, stylist and hip, great live music, seating area outside next to an idyllic canal. Good beer and great food. 👌

NOT HAPPY.. Been a few times but went last night and they wanted £15 per person to go in...joke

A very friendly and easy atmosphere. Good drinks and a awesome band Origin in all a very enjoyable evening.

Amazing afternoon at Gorrilla Bar watching Wednesday's great staff food and atmosphere keep up the fantastic work

Fab venue👍, seen a band and a solo singer there, had food which has been gorgeous both times, a quirky place to visit

Went to the bar last night, saw a band and met up with friends, we all had a great night, there’s such a good feel about the place, they all do a great job, from greeted at the door to the end of the night was faultless, thanks gorilla we’ll be back soon

Great night at the fruhlingsfest, great band, venue and beer

Brilliant place, great chilled out atmosphere,,,,, cant wait for the rumoured bike nights to start,,,, 💪😎🦍

Last laugh comedy club with food, beers and good company! Would recommend this event to anyone, what a laugh and a great night we all had! Going again this evening and we can not wait!

fantastic place for our real ale drinkers, food good too, great place to chat and music too definately would go again

Nice place . Own beer good live band .enjoyed it

Great food and venue. Could stay all day when sunny.

Would never think to come here unless you know about it but it's a brilliant little hidden gem, great selection of craft beers and a fab little burger stand! Good music and good vibes every time

Hidden gem, cool bar and craft ales. Had the burger and drink deal and was impressed, very tasty. Some brilliant art work as well by Nick Boruk I believe.

Great beer Great atmosphere Great bands What more can I say will definitely be going again

Hidden gem, fab beer, food and service. Loved it 👍

Had the best time at this venue, went to see a gig with The Lottery Winners & The Covasettes. All the staff were friendly helpful & welcoming from Security when we arrived right through to the many bar staff we spoke to and even the guy patiently waiting to fill the toilet with loo roll! Even chatted to a bloke to let him know he could sit at the table we vacated due to it being reserved only to later find out he was the owner! The beer was good, the venue was great and to top it all off, my son was invited on stage to perform with the headline act! A night we'll never forget (especially Jonny the Uke!) and we'll definitely be back. 10/10 would recommend.

Good music venue didn't try the beer due to driving

Secret gem. Best burger I've had, cool decor and friendly staff. Really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend.

Beer great but won't be going back as table next to us the were vaping

Good night with good pals....xx

Great bar. Canal side seating. Indoor bar Is spot on. Pub food is excellent. This place is turning it to a good music venue and getting to be a big name in the area. Well recommended!!!

Great atmosphere. Tasty beers and food. Fantastic music. Friendly, helpful staff. So nice to sit out by the canal in the sun. Relaxed and friendly clientele. FABULOUS place go there!

Great area to relax Great drinks

Fabulous night . We be back soon 😊

Lovely food lovely beer lovely people

10 of us thoroughly enjoyed the ‘Bowie tribute band’ on the 16th. Fantastic, quirky venue, excellent service, friendly staff, lovely food & excellent choice of beers fairly priced too, thankyou

What a place we were passing on our boat, ended up having lots of beer and wine lovely food and stayi g the night on the moorings, this place is awesome great staff so friendly you won't want to go home xx

Always geat food beer and entertainment, fantastic music venue 😁👍

Review 2/9/2022 Now it's a beer hall (with live music). Lovely atmosphere. Great looking place. Friendly service. 4 of their own beers on tap at 3.50 a pint. There are guest taps from Brewdog and other breweries Previous review. Went here for the 1st time today and I will definitely come back. Very friendly helpful service. Tasty beers and a great view of the canal. Wouldn't mind free wifi though. You can pay contactless or cash. They have 5 of their own beers on 1 tap and on bottle. They will direct you to a (hopefully) free table or bench. The service was quick and efficient. I paid 1.50 for a half pint of IPA

Amazing location....great selection of ales....fantastic food ..huge portions reasonably priced...will deffinately be returning

Quite literally......a hidden gem. Hidden at the rear of a small industrial estate on one hand but on the other sat on the canal bankside. Indoor and outdoor seating. Great range of ales available at very reasonable prices. The food was basic but very nice. Some quirky titled meals. Looks as though they have had and will be having some great entertainment on. My only gripe was that they only had the one bottle of non acholic beer available on the night we visited. We popped in to see the band having driven from the Derbyshire/South Yorkshire border and the wife was on medication left us a tad dissapointed. Saying that, the band, food and venue were fantastic.

A great place to enjoy good food and good drinks.Tucked away, but right next to the canal, very picturesque, watching all the boats. Very friendly staff. We would highly recommend a visit.

Fabulous food/beer and very positive professional staff. I can highly suggest you call in 😎

Great spot by the river. Very nicely done. Beer choice decent, some more craft on keg & cans would be good. Service was quite slow though & what the hell is with people queuing for the bar?! It's a pub, not a Post Office! Stand at the bar with your fellow citizens & participate in one of the great democratic traditions in Britain!

Yummy dirty fries and their own brew what's not to like 👍👍👍

Beautiful setting. Great atmosphere.

Great location, awesome choice of drinks and staff was amazing also. Definitely can't wait to visit again

Nice set up next to canal live bands lovely bar with stage and seating , massive range of drinks on tap music playing in day nice chilled top pub and brewery

We visited here after sampling there beers as a birthday present. My dad and his family are all from Mexborough so we visit a fair bit but this was our first return post Covid. This was a must to do and it’s well signposted found on a small industrial estate on the canal. The outside seating is fantastic and the beer hall suprised me as its much bigger inside than it looks on the outside It was a nice day so we sat outside they had 3 beers from what I could see on tap but had bottles of there full range in a fridge too. I tried two on tap both I had not had before the bitter meccie and apex my dad commented on the fantastic label on the bitter meccie which reminded him of growing up there. The bitter was amazing on tap a classic Yorkshire bitter which went down very well and the apex was just as nice but more fruity We ended up buying the mixed box of beers to take back home with us which was 12 bottles of most of there range minus one they didn’t have in stock We were happy to spend a good amount of money here as the owners have done a great job and it’s nice to see a new local business opening up and thriving by the looks of it in Mexborough. And let’s be honest who wouldn’t want to sample a few beers on the meccie riviera! Keep up the fantastic work and look forward to visiting again soon

Brilliant night, beer was fantastic the food was too 👌 5 stars 🌟

Great little place for a pint by the canal.

Good, tasty food and good variety of drinks, not least the Gorilla range. Very friendly relaxing atmosphere too.

The owners have done a fantastic job in turning this industrial unit into a place where you can sample an extensive range of beers and ciders along with your usual spirits, the food is amazing and the atmosphere excellent. Looking forward to seeing some bands on the new stage area.

Great place. Great food. Great selection of beers

I had already visited this place a few times before when it first opened. You’d not know it was there as it tucked away in the corner of a small industrial estate next to a dual carriageway but don’t let that put you off as it’s a hidden gem next to the canal. I visited last night now that the extension is complete and they now serve amazing burgers. Sunshine, food, beer and outdoor tables canal side is just perfect.

We did not fancy a heavy Sunday Lunch, so tried the light lunch burger. Just opened last night ,, a great place for music , live bands, Friendly place to relax.

First time and good place Great band Put the pint glasses in freezer for the beers cos it's too warm

Opening day for the new Gorilla brewery hall. Great venue. The setting on mexborough "meccie riviera" is great. Food menu has plenty of choices, we had the chicken strips, absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. Burgers look delicious too. Live band was brilliant. Looking forward to all the upcoming events. Atmosphere is always good here, no matter what days or what time you visit, everyone is friendly. Staff are brilliant, great customer service.

Quiet and peaceful drink on a Saturday afternoon

Great bar extremely friendly wonderful to see a local business thriving can't wait for more live gigs

Ales and beers were spot on, could have done with being much colder though

Our family visited the venue when it was busy. The wait was worth it, as we overlooked the canal in the glorious sunshine drinking after meeting friends. Toilet block in carpark with sanitiser.

Love this place great beer fantastic service

Nice beer and top-rated services.

What a lovely find along the canal. Definitely will return

2nd visit. Sat outside this time as weather fair. Music piped to outside was far too loud to enjoy the location by the canal. Needs turning down a notch or 3 or doing away with. Not needed outside.

Not the easiest place to find or get to due to the odd road arrangements around the Mexborough bypass. Well worth finding though with some nice own brews. Overlooks the Dearne river/ canal near Lidl supermarket

Excellent beer and excellent service... Great place to visit when on the narrowboat 🍻🍻🍻

Enjoyable pint by the canal. Beers rather aromatic for me

First visit to this hidden establishment by the canal. Outdoor seating beside the canal. Bar accessed via stairs so no good for some. Small seating area near the bar with window view and barstools. A further room ( odd shape and partial low ceiling with comfy seating but lacked some character. Friendly staff and good beers at reasonable prices. Small but clean toilet for male and female or how you wish to identify. Ample parking in industrial type yard.

Excellent choices, nice staff and right by the canal if you want to sit and feed the ducks. Pie and peas would have been wonderful.

Wonderful place, £3.00 across the board for the 2 which I tried, Vanilla Gorilla and then Kong at 6%

Amazing food, will definitely come back!

Very tasty beers. Great service.. I can't wait to go back

Nice Riverside beer garden. Great table service. Nice hidden gem

Fantastic Beer, Fantastic Staff, Fantastic View 👍 what more could you ask for?! 5/5

We were very pleased that a local friend pointed us in the direction of this place on our first visit to Mexborough. We had tried one of the brewery's beers in Sheffield and enjoyed it. The setting is lovely, right by the canal. The beer I had was great and the price was fantastic- £3 for a pint of 6% beer is very impressive. We just popped in for a quick one before our train but you could have a very happy afternoon here in the sunshine.

Brilliant little beer garden next to the canal. Fast service, and good selection of real ales.

Great staff very friendly and a lovely drink, it will be nice to sit by the canal in the sun and even nicer when the bistro is up and running. 😊

Great bar, great beer and great staff excellent venue

Great place to visit especially when the weather is good. Great venue, great staff and great drinks. Worth visiting

Great place to visit. Friendly atmosphere, friendly staff great views along the canal bank

Micro brewery with its own pub. Lovely setting by the canal bank. good selection of real ale. Friendly staff

Beautiful drinks and great environment. Right next to the canal! Would definitely recommend.

Great place next to canal, very nice lager, Kong is a tasty 6% 👍

Great place to be, friendly staff, beautiful surroundings and great beers, what more can you ask for.

Great beer and atmosphere staff friendly and welcoming would recommend to friends and family

Great new brewery - excellent product and customer service - highly recommend a visit!

Absolutely beautiful day outside the Brewery. Service was excellent and staff attentive. Has the perfect outdoor area which is safe and well managed. Would recommend stopping off for a drink if you are on a walk or if you are planning a nice day out!

Good place to meet up with friends for a great drink

Great product, will be back for more
