This winery and brewery is a great place to meet friends and enjoy some terrific wines and beers. This is also a "go to" spot when enjoying the downtown and Soo Locks to grab a bite and a beverage just to recharge before more sightseeing and shopping. There is also great local art on display to enjoy. A Hidden Gem of Sault Ste. Marie!

My wife and stopped in after a quick visit to the locks. Bartender was very friendly and informative and beer and wine were excellent. We were having our anniversary dinner later so we snacked on the spinach / artichoke dip with pita chips and a cheese meat and grape board. We were not disappointed and sitting on the back deck was a nice plus on a warm fall day. Thank you for making part of our 25th anniversary memorable !

Exceptional service, phenomenal fruit wines. A great spot for patio dining in the summer and a quiet lunch spot in the winter. Plus, a bottle of 1668 Winery wine makes a great gift.

Friendly, informative and good beer. I had an IPA & Irish Red. They just ran out of Peace Sign IPA, disappointing, I guess I will have to Soo them for running out. If you are in Sault Ste Marie, love beer, put it on your itinerary. 🛼

Good beer selection and wine! I wish we wouldn't have just ate prior to showing up because the food looked amazing!

Great food, great service, and good beer! Definitely visit here if you are visiting the U.P. They don’t offer flights, but will let you taste anything prior to committing to a glass. Tasted 5 beers and my experience is that they range from good to excellent based on your palette. Only recommendation I would offer is to add a paid flight option to the menu.

Stopped by here with my wife and our dog because it was the closest place with a patio we could find. Really good beers, the best spinach artichoke dip we've had, and the chipotle chicken wrap was delicious, too. The staff was great and we enjoyed getting to hang out on a beautiful day. Would definitely come back here again on our next trip up north.

Our family stopped in for drinks and food while on vacation up north, and we had the best experience!!! Wonderful staff, great beer and excellent food! Everyone enjoyed themselves and loved chatting with the team behind the bar! We can’t say enough good things about Soo Brewing!

Very quiet the night we visited so we had opportunity to discuss the wine with our server who was very helpful and enjoyable to talk with. We had their whitefish special. Delicious and more than ample. Veggies and potatoes were also delicious. Wine... Well we bought a few bottles. Really enjoyed our time here and will return the next time we are in the Sault.

The rooftop seating area is fantastic. Best burger I've had in a while. The Tiramisu Stout was very good. Our experience here was great. Not to mention it was a great view of a freighter exiting the Soo Locks southbound! I would definitely go here again.

We have traveled to many breweries and hats off for Soo Brewing. First, the beer cheese and huge pretzel was excellent. The cheese curds were great. However the beer was over the top for me. The Laker Blonde is the beer for the average drinker. I tasted the coffee stout and wheat raspberry and they are far better than any micro brews in Minnesota. I will definitely name drop Soo Brewery for any vacationers. They also have a dog friendly patio out front. Sorry Coffee porter.

Real drinks to satisfy a real man's thurst. Delious beer without the frills. Beer that goes good with a side of the best cheese curds around and a beer cheese pretzel to write home about. Great service and a wonderful wine selection. Minnesota approved.

Great beer and nice brewers. Don’t do the flight thing people should be able to commit to a beer. They are so annoying to pour

Great little location in beautiful Sault Ste Marie. The rooftop deck has amazing views of the Soo locks also. Really enjoyed the Laker Gold, and the wife enjoyed the black cherry wine. Bit of a strange operating concept in that there is no wait staff just a single bartender and kitchen staff. Brandon (not sure if he was the owner or not) was really knowledgeable about about the beers on tap and local happenings around town. 2023 update. Stopped in again this week, still a great. Brewery with great beers, good to see Brandon still working here. Only. Negative I would point out is their lack of merchandise. Would love to get a hoodie or hat to wear when I travel.

Very good beer and wine, staff were very friendly. Wish they did beer flights, most breweries do. Only complaint was, why the advance trivia pursuit 😂 Loved that they had games to play while relaxing at their brewery, we were just not smart enough for the advance trivia 😂

I have to stop, no matter how short my time in the Soo is, a glass of their wine is perfect after a 4 plus hour drive. I love the company of the wait staff, the bar is relaxed and the burgers are really good. One of these trips I will try a dinner. I may even join the wine club because I always buy at least 4 bottles to take home.
