Why Eat

Why Brickyard Hollow Brewing Co.

When a brewery commits to making its own pizza, you know the beer program is confident enough to stand on its own. Brickyard Hollow in downtown Yarmouth does exactly that: a full-service bar, house-made pizzas, and a rotating tap list in a modern space that feels rooted in the town's industrial history. The setting reads casual and unpretentious - the kind of place where you can bring the kids on a Saturday afternoon, or slip in alone for a pint on the way home from work.

The menu keeps things straightforward: gourmet pizzas, pub fare, and craft beers brewed on-site. The patio is a draw in the Maine summer months, and the interior blends exposed brick and rustic design without overreaching. It's exactly what a neighborhood brewery should be.


The beer program is the heart, but the pizza is the reason to stay. Breweries that make their own food often phone it in; Brickyard Hollow treats its pizza menu as seriously as its tap list. Gourmet pizzas mean house-made dough, thoughtful topping combinations, and the kind of yeast-forward flavor that matches a crisp lager or hoppy IPA.

Service moves without fussing. Early reviews flag staff that knows the menu and doesn't linger too long between rounds - the balance that casual dining does best.

It's family-friendly and adult-friendly at once. The same table seats a group of adults on a Friday night and a family with kids on Sunday lunch. That flexibility, plus the patio, makes Brickyard Hollow a year-round neighborhood workhorse.


Menu

What to order

The menu centers on gourmet pizzas and pub classics - the kind of food that pairs naturally with a full bar and house-made beer. Expect seasonal ingredients and combinations that feel intentional rather than arbitrary.

  • House-made pizza (the gourmet range; specifics rotate)
  • Craft brewery selections (rotating taps; ask your server what's fresh)
  • Pub sides and appetizers (supporting menu; ideal for sharing or nibbling before the main)

Portion sizes are generous; one pizza easily feeds two, or one hungry person with leftovers.

Atmosphere

The room

The room merges industrial Yarmouth history with a modern rustic finish - exposed brick, clean lines, casual booths and tables. It reads more brewpub than gastropub: low-key, no dress code, and built for lingering. The patio is the star in summer and early fall, stretching the dining season on Yarmouth's Main Street.

Early noise reports flag a moderate ambient level, which suits the casual vibe. It's not a quiet-meal destination, but it's not loud enough to derail conversation.
