About Manhattan Project Beer Co.
Manhattan Project Beer Co. is a brewery, coffee bar, and scratch kitchen in Dallas, Texas, all under one roof. It is a brewery, a coffee shop, and a restaurant, a combination that is unusual for a brewery. It keeps about 20 of its own beers on tap.
The lineup runs from Necessary Evil, a dry pilsner, to Half-Life, a hazy IPA that is a longtime favorite with regulars and newcomers alike. Wise Monkeys, a Belgian golden strong, and Black Matter, a coffee stout, push into bigger, stranger territory. Red Gate, an amber lager, and Gold Flash, a honey lager, keep things lighter.
The scratch kitchen turns out Thai fried chicken, shrimp and grits, and a bacon cheeseburger made with beef from a local ranch. Arepas are on the menu too, made with maize flour and the brewery's own beer instead of water in the dough. A coffee bar pours espresso drinks, and live music plays in the taproom on Sundays.
Manhattan Project also books private events for groups, with seating for up to 50 people in the taproom. It is one of the most reviewed beer spots in Dallas on this site.
