Manhattan Brewing Company

406 Poyntz Ave · Manhattan, KS

Why you should go…

Manhattan Brewing Company fills the ground floor of the 1909 Smith Building on Poyntz Avenue, next to the Riley County Courthouse. Three Tallgrass Brewing alumni opened it in July 2020 to be Manhattan's own brewery. The lineup changes constantly, with 53 different beers in the first year, and you can sit in the taproom, head out to The Brew Deck, or take beer to go.

Good to know

General eat & drink guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Go early or go late

    The simplest way around a wait at a popular room is to sit down before the rush or after it.

  • Reservations open on a schedule

    Where bookings are taken, tables tend to be released a set number of days in advance, often at a fixed hour.

  • Menus move with the season

    Treat any dish you read about online as a maybe, not a promise, especially anything local and seasonal.

  • Ask what the place is known for

    Staff will point you at the thing worth ordering faster than any list will.
